Stuff to smile about

You know, besides the fact that it's Friday.

1. The weather! It finally feels like spring, and very nearly summer. I know it's boring to blog about the weather (what are we, in the grocery line?), but whatever. I present to you, two screen shots from this afternoon:


Yaaay, The Weather Channel widget says it's 80 degrees out there! It is about 65 in my office, but I have been taking every opportunity to step outside and soak in all the warm that I can. Special bonus: it now says that it's 81, so there.


This fakey, Vista-created sticky note was on my screen this morning, and I suspect that GP may have had something to do with it. Also, please note the stated temperature. Awesome.

2. The obligatory Shoe-of-the-Day...


...is a patent-leather, peep-toe flat from NY&Co. No feets in this one, mostly because I am so pale that when I'm cold (as I am generally in my office, and as my feet generally are, oh...all the time), my skin changes color in an unappealing way. Also, the internet is not ready for my toes. Not just yet. The background of this picture, by the way, is a bunch of pink packing peanuts that showed up in a box that was delivered to the office a million years ago, that I decided to string up and suspend from the ceiling of my old office (think garlands-- it was awesome). When I moved into my new office, with the clean lines and sleek green-and-black, I decided the pink fluff couldn't come along. I'm a little sad to see it go.

3. The Office (and, of course, 30 Rock) last night! I've been talking about it with EP and Maxie, but I need to know what you all thought of it, too! I almost posted my favorite parts of the episode, but I don't want to spoil anything for those of you that missed it and are catching up with Tivo or whatever. Leave it in the comments, please!

4. The dinner options for tonight, which are as follows...
-our favorite sushi place, which gives you crazy amounts of food for relatively cheap...you know, for sushi and all
-a local German-style hofbrau, where there are carving stations and retarded amounts of beer
-Greek/Mediterranean, at a place that we haven't been to yet but have heard good things about-- I am craving some dolmas and hummus!

I had a dream about Jim from the office last night. He's not a good kisser...nono

Maxie said...

I have those same shoes! haha

EP said...

Those shoes are totally cute!

Where did you end up going for dinner?

Gretchen Alice said...

Mmm. Warm weather and cute shoes and The Office is like a perfect day trifecta.

Re: The Office
Overall, it was a great return to tv. I don't like what they're doing with Jan--she's just a bit TOO over-the-top for me.
"You took me by the hand, made me a man, that one night (one night!)..."

pink jellybaby - Say it ain't so!

Maxie - evidence continues to mount that we may be the same person. At the very least, we have the same impeccable taste in Mexican food, Thursday evening tv shows, and cheap peep-toe flats.

EP - thank you! We ended up having the Greek, where I got lamb kofte-- totally delicious. Also, there is a funny story about us sharing a bottle of wine at the restaurant. Remind me to blog about it, the internet needs to know!

Gretchen - totally! I know what you mean about Jan; she's not necessarily more of a caricature than, say, Dwight, but it's the way she makes Michael seem (pathetic, rather than just a flaming moron) that really bugs me. Ultimately, I was just so glad it was back!
