Pleasant Times in my Life

This blog has been sadly lacking, but when you see something this cute there is no where else it belongs.

Cute Overload! ;)

The trolley trip is starting to show signs of green. It is very pleasant.

This is the house I will be moving in to... Not the one with the yellow awning, the classy one next door.

I love the stream and the forest along my commute. I am like little red riding hood with no danger or eating of human flesh. It is pleasant.

This is a lovely bridge winter scene along my commute

Autumn is a lovely time to ride the trolley. The trees are changing and are very beautiful. Soon it will be winter and the trolley will look as lovely as these pictures. I love my commute.

I can hear the street proformers playing the trumped on the street from my desk at my new job.

Have you ever seen the sun on an overcast day? Today on the trolley, sat facing the direction I usually avoid because of the blinding sun. I sometimes do this on overcast days because it has the more interesting view. Today was the first time I remember seeing the sun on an overcast day. I thought it was the moon at first, but you can’t see the moon on an overcast day… or can you?

Well, it is a whole new year and my cubicle at work is completely different looking to mark the change. I have my snowman looking pez dispenser instead of my wild faced watermelon pez dispenser. I have some the 2004 list of holidays and the calendar up. I also have some lovely flowers that have lasted since x-mas.

Also, I am able to drink tea again at work thanks to the thoughtful gift of a hot pot and tea mug with lid. I’m pretty excited to have that habit back. When I was in NYC I used to use the hot water function at the water coolers to drink tea all the time, but alas my current job has no water cooler. Now I can have ready access to a supply of hot water once again thanks to the Rival™ Hot Pot Express®. Thanks to my friends at Rival™ I no longer have to go through the barbaric process of heating up water in the microwave, which often makes it taste metallic and requires me to walk all the way to the end of the hall, which is just un-American. Also the Hot Pot Express® heats water 60% faster than a microwave oven and is portable for use in the office! That is just one of the many features that I am looking forward to in the New Year, others include:
· The Adjustable Thermostat that lets ME select settings from Low to High!
· The “Special” Non-Stick Cooking Surface that makes clean up a snap!
· The Removable “Flip-Top” Lid for Easy Cleaning!

As much as the Rival ™ Hot Pot Express® has made this new year one of the brightest ever, it can’t get all the credit. Without my Laughing Buddha ® mug from Chinatown ™ my tea making experience would be all wet. This mug is made of pure Bone China and is decorated with an exquisite painting of the Laughing Buddha ® lounging in exquisite red silken robes and surrounded by opulent mounds of gold. The design isn’t the only reason you need the Laughing Buddha ® mug form Chinatown ™. Just look at some of these features!
· The “High Quality” Tea Strainer is great for loose-leaf teas!
· The Bonus Lid keeps tea warm longer and is decorated with the same golden mounds that surround the Buddha!
· The “Ever-last” Handle keeps you from burning your hands!
· AND all of the above mentioned features are made of the same high quality Bone China that is found in ALL Laughing Buddha ® mugs that can be found in Chinatown™!
