Chinese (14/365)

As long as there's pasta and Chinese food in the world, I'm okay.

~Michael Chang

One of the BEST things about moving out of Podunk and into civilization is that we can now order from GrubHub, which includes a fabulous Chinese restaurant option. Even better? The Chinese restaurant included this calendar (that hangs in my kitchen) with orders placed at the beginning of the year.

And just in case you are wondering? I was born in the Year of the Dragon.

Chick-fil-A (13/365)

Don’t dismiss the importance of making fun a priority.

~Truett Cathy, Founder Of Chick-fil-A

Mike took me to lunch today - at Chick-fil-A. Not only was it a welcome surprise, but it was a fun way to spend the hour!

Stapler (12/365)

Bill Lumbergh: Milt, we're gonna need to go ahead and move you downstairs into storage B. We have some new people coming in, and we need all the space we can get. So if you could just go ahead and pack up your stuff and move it down there, that would be terrific, OK? 

Milton Waddams: Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler... 

I brought my personal stuff to the new job today

My red stapler

My Post-It-Notes

It's starting to feel like I belong there now

Bird (11/365)

I think we consider too much the good luck of the early bird 

and not enough the bad luck of the early worm.

~Franklin D. Roosevelt

Apparently there was a bird on our deck. I'm certain there were no worms ...

Taco (10/365)

“I had a dream about you. You owned a taco stand, and I looked like a pile of meat, cheese, lettuce, sour cream, and hot sauce. I resented you, and you wanted to enslave me.
” 

~ Jarod Kintz

I've discovered evol ... specifically Korean Style Beef & Kimchi evol. street tacos. I LOVE them ... and I ate them during my meal break at Target.

Mmmmmmmmm ....

Jeans (9/365)

I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.

~ Yves Saint Laurent

My new job allows jean on Friday. No sneakers ... but JEANS!! It's been years since I could wear jeans to work 

Apartment (8/365)

I have to be alone very often. I'd be quite happy

if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment.

That's how I refuel.

~ Audrey Hepburn

We had snow today. This is Illinois ... we get snow ...

Based on my commute tonight (60 minutes to drive 10 miles), you'd have thought I lived in Florida

I was very happy just to get home
