I’m not sure who was more excited this morning, for Take Your Dog to Work Day – me, or Lando:

I’ll have the most dog filled post yet for you tomorrow!
Yesterday was a pretty cool day at work as well – so we’ll stick to that for this post!
Breakfast – Magic Bullet presents: Ruby Slipper!

Yesterday was our first “Ad Sales Picnic” – we headed out to the field outside our building:

Can you complain with that view and the gorgeous weather?

First, we were treated to Chipotle by our bosses!

My “bol” – Vegetarian with black beans, fajita veggies, corn salsa, tomato salsa, lettuce, and guac! I ate every last bite – and wanted to lick the bowl!

Then the friendly competition began, there was Corn Hole (is that just the OHIO name for it???)…

…Hillbilly Horse Shoes, and a Trivia Game about our department (which I TOTALLY dominated).

Then we headed inside and had a surprise shower for one of the guy’s on the team (his wife is pregnant).

All in all – a VERY NICE day at work!
When I got home – I went on a 4 mile walk with Kristin (7 miles logged yesterday in total – not too shabby!) When I got home, I definitely wanted something to eat for dinner – but the idea of anything warm just did NOT sound good. Instead – I went with half a cantaloupe:

Which I know doesn’t really count as a meal – but it was the quickest and easiest (and COLDEST) option I could find.
Then I headed over to my parents to drop off a card for my brother – whose recovering from his MILLIONTH knee surgery (okay – I think it’s just the 4th – but still, 4 knee surgeries before the age of 25??). He asked for some ice cream, so my Mom and I happily obliged, and headed up to the local ice cream shop. I decided I was not going to get anything – because I was sure nothing would be “Clean Life” approved.
Then – I saw – that they had – RASPBERRY SWIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah – life’s too short to pass up that sort of deliciousness!
Okay – gotta jet – Lando and I need to pull our TPS report!

Allison,
What do you think about your magic bullet. If I have to wash my blender one more time I think I might throw it out the window. I was thinking about getting a magic bullet but I wanted to make sure it is worth. I know it’s not that expensive, but I’m cheap!!
Thanks!

I’ve never even heard of CornHole until I moved here. Brand new game to me! Admittedly hillbilly horseshoes is not my cup of tea. I don’t normally like tossing balls around in front of polite company.

The only reason I know what Corn Hole is, is because of my family in Ohio! Ha! Don’t play it down here in Memphis. I definitely would have gone for the ice cream too!

That canteloupe looks delicious. I don’t even like canteloupe – but that melon looks so juicy.
