It looks like My Boy wasn’t the only elf lurking about his office over the holidays!

Quote of the Day
Back at work (for a day at least) and back to focusing on the piles that waited so patiently while I was off celebrating Christmas. Also waiting for me was a wonderful quote in my email inbox. I think it’s a good reminder as I mentally prepare for 2010: Opportunity is missed by most people […]
And More Work Gifts
So the women in The Boy’s office each got a mustard seed necklace, but what about the men? And for that matter, what about my office? This year’s theme was Gifts from the Heart. In other words, we made them! For most of our colleagues, I made mini-loaves of Poppy Seed bread using my mom’s […]
The Christmas Elf
It’s no secret that I love Etsy. It’s a fantastic marketplace for artisans to showcase their craft to a wider audience. Not only do I enjoy finding new pieces for myself, it’s also been a great resource for gifts and inspiration. Over the summer, I found what I thought would be a great gift for […]
The Things We Do
I’m sure in this economy, I’m not the only person who has seen his/her job description morph a bit. Currently, in addition to my marketing role, I’m also sorting out our less-than-ideal coffee service. Listen to the voice of experience: When things are wrong with the coffee service, No One Is Happy. No.One.Is.Happy.At.All. Needless to […]
I’m Unavailable
Driving home the other evening, my cell phone rang. I glanced at the call – it was work related, but I knew it wasn’t critical. And it was already 6 pm. I’m not taking that call, I told The Boy. It’s late and I’m unavailable. I know what you mean, The Boy said. I feel […]
Ooo-La-La: It’s Breakfast Club
Today’s my day for Breakfast Club at work and you know what that means… I prepped last night and was ready to go early this morning. Awaiting my colleagues was an email announcing our breakfast – A Make-Your-Own-Crepe Bar – and an accompanying spread. A Crepe Bar is a really simple breakfast for a group, […]
I’m Living in a B Movie
I’m not sure what my parents were thinking, but I have watched entirely too many B-movies in my lifetime. As a result, I find myself referencing them at random times. Like: Torrential rains have led to an infestation of ants in the Hayley House. I told The Boy the other evening that it was like […]
Friday Night
It’s rained, nearly non-stop, since Thursday evening. But Friday was the office happy hour at Blue Mesa. The restaurant was busy, so we opted to sit outside. Amidst the conversation and story-telling, a couple of folks kept obsessively checking the weather radar on their iPhones. 20 minutes until it gets here, said Weather Watcher. Are […]
Danger, Will Robinson!
I woke up on the grouchy side of the bed this morning. Why? Who knows…perhaps it’s merely because Ben crawled in between the boy and I right when I wanted to cuddle before drifting off to sleep. (Darn that cat.) SO–for those who will be around me, near me, emailing me, thinking about me, or […]
