Let me introduce you to some new characters in my life (they aren't new to my life, but new to the blog). Permie is a friend from college who is an accountant. I didn't give her this name, she has had it for a long time, but don't be fooled - her hair is not curly. The Professor is another friend from college who, you guessed it, is a college professor now. She is also super crafty and you should check out her stuff! (blatant plug: The Inspired Button).
Ok, so Permie decided to start a new diet (she is one of the healthiest people I know) and now The Professor and I have joined her (Mary Ann and the Skipper weren't available.) It's the 17 Day Diet, there are lots of rules, but here is what you really need to know. We are supposed to drink 8 glasses of water a day, lots of veggies, lean protein, 2 fruits and 2 probiotics a day. So far today, I am WINNING the water portion of this situation. By winning, I mean that I have successfully drowned myself and have made 72 trips to the restroom. I have decided that yogurt is not going to cut it twice a day for 17 days, so now I'm on the search for new probiotics. Let me know if you know of some I would like!!

Why I Hate Best Buy
They are always out to trick you. You have to always be on your toes when you go into a Best Buy. Fabio LOVES Best Buy. He would live there if anyone would let him. But I have several cases to prove my point that they are pure evil.
1. A little over a year ago, Fabio decided he wanted a new TV. So we went to Best Buy and they had a big sign under one of the TV's that talked about this fabulous sale - so when we told the sales guy that was the one we wanted, he told us that the sticker was in the wrong place and that TV wasn't on sale. So I asked why they left the sticker there - he just walked away from me. Fabio was mortified as I took the sticker off the TV to prevent someone else from going through all this turmoil.
2. Last month we started updating Fabio's condo in hopes that it will sell and we can purchase any of 30 of my dream homes. Surprisingly, Best Buy had the better pricing for the fridge and dishwasher - so off we went again. Things seemed very smooth until we hit check out counter and the total was more than I expected. Being horrible at math, I didn't say anything, I just made a strange face and asked Fabio to see the receipt. They had added a $70 fee because they had to order the dishwasher and have it delivered to them. The girl working behind the counter saw the look on my face and asked if something was wrong. I asked why they expected us to pay for moving their inventory? I told her that the sales guy had talked us into that dishwasher and never said anything about an extra charge. Twenty minutes later she was finally able to find the guy and credited the amount back....moments before my head exploded.
Why is this store so evil? Clothing and shoe stores would never do that to you!!!

A Few Requests for Meeting Attendees
After the past few groups - I have a few requests of people who attend conferences -
1. Do not chew off your fingernails and leave them on the floor. This is quite possibly the most disgusting thing ever.
2. If the water pitcher is empty, please bring it to my attention by telling me - waving it at me and pointing at it just makes me think you are an idiot.
3. Do not tape things to the wall with the cheapest scotch tape you can find and then act surprised when part of the wall comes down with the tape.
4. If you make a big deal about being allergic to certain types of food - then on your own choose to eat that food and nothing bad happens to you - the servers will no longer believe you have an allergy.
5. The plants in the hallway are for decoration - they do not like coffee, so please don't dump yours in there.
6. It would be awesome if you could throw your trash in the can instead of right next to it.
7. I'm very sorry that you don't like the lunch option, or the vegetarian alternative, you should speak with the person who planned your meeting about their selections.
8. Copies are not free anywhere else in the world, so please stop acting like the 10 cents charge is the most outrageous thing you have ever heard. (If it is the most outrageous thing you have ever heard, you should get out more)
