Mom and Dad, congratulations on 32 years! I love you!

Ugh. Will this afternoon ever end? I wish it were 10 p.m. so I could be done with work and start my 4th of July vacation. Speaking of vacations, I’ll be taking a short one to Chicago July 14-16 and I’m seriously considering inviting a guest blogger to take over the page for the weekend. So, if you’re up for it (if you can point and click you can blog to my page), let me know.

You wouldn’t go to just anyone for such an important thing, would you now? Check out expertsexchange.com. Another case of how you should really think about the domain name before sending off your $70. (Via Webmonkey’s Elbow Grease.)

A new guy cut my hair yesterday (a one time thing; get well soon, Bradley!). Anyway, he told me he “specialized in cutting.” Well gosh, I would hope so.

I am not a secretary. I’m an executive assistant.

I am not a babysitter. I’m a domestic caregiver.

I am not a cheerleader. I’m an athletic supporter.

I am not a plain M&M. I’m a milk chocolate M&M.

What? Even chocolate candy is becoming politically correct?

Lately Sun Country airlines has been doing some cool branding gimmicks (I love the airline even though I’ve only flown them once). The other day I got a personal email from Katie Marshall (I’ve never met her) inviting me to the Sun Country company picnic in Minneapolis. And last Friday, she sends me another email inviting me to kill some time on a Friday afternoon by visiting their new fun and games web site at heybill.com. (Bill is the company’s president.) This is one company that’s got its marketing shit together.

I’m trying really hard to come up with something cool to say about stinkburger.com, but it’s not the cool site I thought it would be, so I’ll stop trying.

WTF: I saw an ad the other day for Pert Plus — you know, the 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner made by the company that’s “Washing hair, and changing minds.” Well, anyway, seems that the Pert company is trying to pull a fast one and now sell us 1-in-1: separate shampoo, separate conditioner! How can they still call it Pert when it’s in two separate bottles?! You can ask the Sink Guy at the Pert Plus web site, which is, actually, pretty cool. Break free from the cruel tyranny of lifeless hair!

A lovely little article about singles doing good.

Ladies, ladies, never fear! Just because I didn’t mention our Monday night game of Shuffleboard doesn’t mean I didn’t have a fabulous time! In fact, it was so much fun I searched hi and lo for a great shuffleboard link! Next time: pictures!
