Other Thoughts

SO, as I sit here, I realize that I haven't really blogged about anything very important. It's mostly been stuff I see that I like or find weird. After having been given the opportunity to meet someone at work (that I haven't met yet)I have gotten more inspired to write more. In fact, I wrote a whole big page at work today.
To paraphrase, the more I have been writing, the more I have been liking it. I continually blog on an internal BestBuy site, but only my co-workers get to read it. I don't even think that my co-workers read it...It is people across the company that I don't even know. I am looking forward to it, because in two weeks in Chicago, I'll be able to meet some of them.

In any event, i feel that I am getting behind on technology these days. Is it because I'm getting old, or because I'm out of the store? I don't know. I learned all about web 2.0 which was really cool, but I'm way behind on all these other things like net tagging (del.ic.ious), RSS feeds, stuff cell phones can do, etc. For instance, I called a friend's cell phone the other day. When it rang on my end, I heard a song! CRAZY!!! Why had I never heard of this? Maybe because I have an old phone and no longer work in the wireless department.

Enough for now. I will update later if anything comes of the great idea I had for work.

How do I get this trailer?

So, last weekend, Dustin and I went up to the north coast of MN with my parents. It was really nice to get out of the cities and also nice because I used to spend the entire summer with my family up north in Michigan. This year I will be lucky as I will have spent time up north in MN and in MI! Stay tuned for the story of the latter. I will be there this time next saturday!

In any event, on the way home, we stopped at the much talked about Betty's Pies.

There was a wait at 3:00! It was quite the popular spot!

Just as we were finishing our meal, I looked out the window and saw this spectacular rig pull into the parking lot. This trailer must hold one of everything that every true Minnesotan might want. Please look at the picture for details, it is truly worth 1000 words!

The new blender...

So, someone told me about this link the other day. The feature video combines two products i love, Apple electronics, and kitchen electronics! Usually I always buy my kitchen accoutrements at W-S, but I might have to forgo and purchase this truly amazing blender!

Lawn Mowing

So today I saw an awesome lawn mower. Some guy had a small hill in front of his house and apparently didn't want to push the mower up or down the small hill. He had rigged a piece of what looked like clothesline to the lawnmower handle and was standing at the top of the hill letting the mower down via the ropes. I'm not sure how well it was working, as it looked like the lawnmower had steered itself into the chain link fence bordering the yard.

Sorry I don't have a photo to go with this.

Wrapping Rap

So, as I was wrapping gifts for customers at Williams-Sonoma tonight, I made up a wrap. My co-worker asked me never to repeat it, but here it is:

" My name's Danielle and I'm here to say that I love to wrap gifts in a beautiful way.
Hat box, shoe box, linen or platter, when I'm done your gift is much phatter.

(Beat box here...)

Red or cream, gold or green, whatever color it is, it'll look keen."

I'm still working on it, so stay tuned for more verses.
