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!

Check it out:

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.

Door County-Part 1

So, this past weekend, we ventured to Door County, WI for some summer fun. This is some of what we saw... The first place we ate on Friday was Al Johnson's. This place is special because every day they bring goats over to the restaurant and they graze on the roof all day. It is quite the novelty. Here are some shots...















After that, Dustin and I got forced to sit in this huge adirondack chair. We made his parents sit in it, too.








I went golfing. I only took about 12 mulligans over 9 holes...









We went to a really cool garden/antique store that had a pineapple plant from Florida growing. I loved seeing it and wondered what a whole field of pineapples looked like.
Here we also pretended to be coneheads.











Please stay tuned for photos of a true Wisconsin "Fish Boil."

SuperDog

See this dog...?













This dog was so excited to see The Gangler, that she put on a supercape and jumped through our front door!











We now have a new piece of glass in our front door, which I must say is much nicer than the one that was there.

Basketball

Boy, I think that the last 10 minutes of last night's NBA playoff game plus the last 7.5 minutes of tonight's game is probably the most professional basketball I've watched in the last 5 years. Too bad, Cleveland lost, but I must say that the game was quite exciting. As good as it was, I probably won't be watching very much more professional sports.

HRC

So, I have recently started to learn more about the Human Rights Campaign, or the HRC. I'm proud to announce that the company I work for, Best Buy has received a score of 100 from the HRC. That basically means that Best Buy offers the same benefits for same sex couples as they do for hetro couples. Not only is it great for our employees, but it shows people in both straight and GLBt community that BBY is willing to defend ALL human rights.

In any event, I also learned some appalling news that in thirty three (33) states, if your company doesn't protect you, you can get fired for being gay!!! That horrifies me. Today I filled out the form on HRC's website to urge my congress person not to vote for President Bush's nomination of Dr. James Holsinger for surgeon general.
