things that made my day

Well today was a good day and there were plenty of things that made me happy:

• Watched the sunrise early this AM.
  
• Had 70 degree weather all day (downside=the big ball of death in the sky is coming back in full-force).
• Attended a s-m-r-t working-in-progress meeting on grounds over lunch with some people who I truly admire.
• Got a shit ton done in the office today! Check and check.
  
• Toured a new house tonight in anticipation for the big move of 2011. Please God let me have a vegetable garden.
  
• Tonight there's a full-moon and I'm sitting on my patio for the first time of the season.
• Slow cooked some pork chili verde all day. Is it sad that a good burrito totally makes my night?
• Some random guy said to me today: "Let's face it, I'm a fat bastard." How do you respond to that?
  
• Preparation for a visit-heavy weekend with McBetty, the big Brian, and Mr. & Mrs. Bling Bling. There is a good chance that someone will either be sleeping with me, on my couch and in my guest bedroom for the next 3 days. Phattie brunch at LL's B&B? Yes please.
• Helga surfaced in California and turns out she was in LA with no phone service. A visit to San Fran in March? OK, let's do it.
• A spirited MN-themed conversation (does 180 character posts count as a conversation?). I totally got 5 1/4 points....maybe!
  
• BBT is on tonight! Woot woot. I'm going to turn on my TV for the first time in 2 weeks tonight.
  
• Is almost Friday!!!
  

c-b-scares

Well McBetty and I had a large amount of laughter last night when we saw this CBS promotional commercial (worth 15 seconds of your time in order to feel really awkward for this actor):



CREEPY!!! Is that guy wearing black satin PJs (insert Howard from BBT)? Sitting in front of some candles? Talking about his family jewels? Telling us that the best v-day gift is healthy balls? Yes, yes he is.

So this is a campaign by CBS to remind you to be healthy....you know stop drinking and smoking, and remember to feel up your respective body parts once a month. The only problem is their acronym is CBScares, which to me looks like C-B-Scares. I don't know who CB is, but he surely is scary, indeed. I think your telemarketing company should have bought that to your attention, to be like, either you need a new acronym or you need messages that aren't CREEPY, bordering on scary.

From here on out, these are the C-B-Scares telemareting....gives a whole new meaning to my saying of "holy balls!"
