| That's the ratio of Annabelle's shoes to mine in the doorway.
It's not that we have a lack of space on the shoe rack, nor is it because she's too lazy to put her shoes away. It is because she delights in viewing her array of "pretty" shoes. Also, when she is dressed and ready to leave the house, she likes to hover her foot over her shoes, to see which one would match her outfit the best.
She is not called AnnabElle Woods for nothing. | | |
| Christmas Presents For All - Need Your Help
My dear friends,
It's somewhat embarrassing to admit, but as I'm not getting an annual bonus, which means that Christmas is tight this year. I will be making bedroom slippers for you all as gifts. Please let me know your sizes. You'll most likely agree that it's a splendid idea, and should you wish to do the same, I've included the instructions below:
How to make bedroom slippers out of maxi pads:
You need four maxi pads to make a pair. Two of them get laid out flat, for the foot part. The other two wrap around the toe area to form the top. Tape or glue each side of the top pieces to the bottom of the foot part. Decorate the tops with whatever you desire, silk flowers (this is most aesthetically appealing), etc.
These slippers are:
* Soft and Hygienic
* Non-slip grip strips on the soles
* Built in deodorant feature keeps feet smelling fresh
* No more bending over to mop up spills
* Disposable and biodegradable
* Environmentally safe
* Three convenient sizes: Regular, Light and Get out the Sand Bags
I took a photo of the first pair I made so that you can see the nifty slippers for yourself. I am awaiting your response. It's crucial that I get the right size for each one of you! Click here to see the slippers. | | |
| I have 2 free tickets to the UIC vs. UW-Green Bay basketball game. Does anybody want it? It's on 14 February at 7pm (it could make for a very romantic Valentine's Day date). Section 103, Row P, Seats 7-8. | | |
| 1. i get to see and try new CPGs (consumer packaged goods) before they hit the market
2. my work attire consists of t-shirt and flip flops in the summer and sweatshirt, jeans and gym shoes in the winter
3. i get to surf websites like www.quaker.com and www.peapod.com and have that be considered work
4. summer hours (1/2 day fridays every other week in the summer)
5. i got to go to great america on my 3rd day on the job
6. kayaking trip down the chicago river through downtown
7. we congregate in the hallway talking about granola bars, shampoo, etc. and that's considered work-related
8. i see my projects hit the supermarket shelves
9. i get to visit the quaker and tropicana offices
and my latest reason:
10. scavenger hunt yesterday and kickball in october!
it can get tough when i have to work long hours (hit a new record yesterday of 9:50pm... but it was self-imposed cos i insisted on going on the scavenger hunt even though i had work to do), but i have to remind myself how cool it is to be working in the CPG industry. and how badly i wanted to be doing what i'm doing now. i've always had a strange affinity for CPG, especially new products, and not many people can say they love what they're working with.
my latest favourite CPG is vaseline aloe lotion. a light texture, yet not compromising on its moisturising quality, and accented with a pleasant aloe scent. if you care to indulge me, leave me a comment with your favourite CPG and why. (it could span anything from cereal, deodorant, juice, diaper...) | | |
