I made my annual post new year trip to Barnes and Noble today during lunch to pick up my 50% off wall and desktop calenders.  For 50% who could resist?!
I thougt about skipping the wall calendar this year but only two days back at work and I caugt myself constantly glancing up at the empty spot on my wall to check the dates for various reasons.  I know I could just as easily looked the dates up on my computer but its just not the same.  In the years past I’ve always gotten a beach/tropical themed calendar but this year it was slim pickings!  Everyone else must have caught on and waited until after the new year to pick theirs up too! I settled on a cute overload one…kittens, puppies, hedgehogs and hamsters…whats there not to love?!
For the last three years my daily calendar of choice has been Garfield. My all time fav! But just as luck would have it, it was again slim pickings.  Get Fuzzy will just have to do for this year. 

Now of to bundle up and get ready to brace the cold outside!

He’s holding the mayo for my sandwich!   and his beak turns into the spatula! Genius, no?! What will the Japanese come up with next?!
I like to toast my bread when I bring a sandwich in for lunch…so putting mayo on when I’m prepping the sandwich at home is out of the question.
This little guy let’s me take just the right amount of mayo into work instead of lugging in the whole bottle!

and it was roast beef and white american cheese if you were wondering…=)

I remember loving ball pits when I was younger…and then becoming horrified when I was old enough to realize how gross and dirty they were…

As stated in a previous post, I found myself a blog designer!

After going through dozens of themes – some completely uncustomizable, and some broken, I decided to go for it and have a custom theme made!

I have been working with Myla from Design Me Pretty over the last few weeks and she’s created a theme that I am absolutely in love with! I wanted something clean, simple and uniquely me.

When I approached her, I provided her with a sketch of what I envisioned my blog to look like.  And after a few rounds of going back and forth and some minor tweaks here and there I now have a theme that I adore!

This is sure to get me on the blogging bandwagon!   Since I’m not on facebook, I figured keeping an updated blog is the best way to retain my memories and share my thoughts.  I have always kept a diary <note to the boy: a diary that you will never see!> and as we move on with technology, this is my little virtual diary…welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!

For those of you who are reading this through RSS and are too lazy to click on over to the page, here is a snapshot of what my new theme looks like:

And here’s the original sketch I provided Myla:

Not bad, huh?  :)

So for anyone that is in need of a new theme, or any designing services – she does invitations and birth announcements too – Myla from Design Me Pretty comes HIGHLY recommended!

Happy Blogging!
