why do I do this?

Here I am again drinking coffee. Why do I do this to myself? I know coffee makes me feel horrible every time I drink it. Maybe I just want to be like everyone else. It seems like everyone drinks coffee except me. My rationale is the caffeine. When I'm looking for a fix, tea and soda don't cut it. So, I'm willing to endure the pain of drinking coffee to feel more alert for 20 min or some other short time that hardly makes the coffee worth it. If I had the choice I'd always pick an energy drink but this isn't an option in my office. Solution: buy a case of energy drinks for myself and leave them in the office fridge. However, I feel like people may raise their eyebrows behind my back and say things like "Why doesn't she just drink coffee?" Well, they just couldn't possibly understand, now could they. Maybe I can legitimize my energy drink addiction with one of these? Coming soon to the Sandstrom office. :)

And I'm robbed of my weekend.

I was sick all weekend. I slept, took copious amounts of cold medicine and drove Seth crazy. After being completely robbed of my weekend as of today I seem to feel better. Finally. I came into work today pretty happy to have some energy only to remember all the things that need to get done because Friday was mostly unproductive. Damn. I have managed to distract myself by going to the kitchen about 4 times to get various beverages, paid my bills, called 24hr fitness, got the deodorant off my shirt but now it appears it's time to get to it. MEH.

Not good enough for you?

I had someone in my office come up to me and let me know the current anti bacterial hand soap we have in the kitchen is not good enough. While I wasn't the one who got it to begin with I can't help but think "this green thing is going a little far" and only in Portland. My wonderful co-worker started naming off brands that I had never heard of (green brands), she finally said Method (which I use at home) and my attitude changed.  Not only does that mean from here on in I get to smell the soap scent of my choice. The purple one is my favorite. Lavender, I believe. And no more complaining. Win, win. 

on the mend

Why does Moonstruck have to be one of our clients? Next it's gonna be pix or something. Any diet I'll ever attempt from here on in will be foiled by truffles. And yes, I had one of those little yellow guys not more than an hour ago. Downhill slide.

Test test

What better way to test my email blogging than to post a cute wiener??

Finally. It has happened.

I'm officially sick after beating around the bush for weeks. My wonderful boyfriend has offered to bring me "whatever I need" So sweet, Seth. This is all I need...with some crackers, please.

Heh. Portlandia, you're sure to love this one.

I would gladly take any of these with a little redecoration...or not.

My first post- about Dexter (of course)

Dexter J. My dog. Would I call myself a bit of an obsessed dog owner? Absolutely. Most people would be disgusted at my love for my dog, others understanding. Anyway, he's the closest thing to a child I may ever have and quite frankly I've humanized the hell outta him. This picture features the double tuck. Quite popular among doxies and doxie lovers.
