The internet

So, the internet is insane.  Yesterday I posted about Chobani Yogurt and my love for it.  When I looked at the blog yesterday, I had a comment from "Emily @ Chobani".  WHAT?!  That is crazy.  How did they know I posted about them?  Is there some electronic tech thing that alerts them when their product is talked about online?  Was I violating some sort of crazy trademark law?  Insane.

They seemed to like my comment and said I filled them with sunshine.  Isn't that nice?  Maybe they'll post my words on their website and I'll get coupons for Free Chobani or a years supply of Chobani.  LOL.  That would make me both very happy and laugh hilariously.

The other CRAZY thing about the internet is connected to the yogurt and to this blog.  I was flabbergasted by the comment on my post that I posted my flabbergast on facebook.  (I recognize that flabbergast may not be a noun but I think that if you can be flabbergasted then a flabbergast must make you feel such a thing.  Just like if you can be disgruntled, then you must also be able to be gruntled. IMHO.  lol)

So I posted it on facebook and in mere moments, I had 63 people view my blog.  At first I couldn't figure out how people even knew the site of my blog if I didn't tell them - then I remembered that it was on my facebook profile.  Insane.

The internet is a small and crazy world.  I would have done the same thing if someone had posted the message I posted on facebook.  I would have immediately followed the link and checked it out.  I do it all the time.

Sometimes though, I am just blown away by the rapidity of things on the internet and how absolutely connected we can really be.

Chobani Greek Yogurt

This Monday morning's post goes out to Chobani Greek Yogurt.  It is creamy.  It is delicious.  It is healthy.  It starts my day off wonderfully.

I like the raspberry and blueberry flavors the best.  I like to slice up a banana and mix it into the yogurt for some extra fruit goodness.

When it is cold, snowy and grey outside...Chobani adds some sunshine to my belly.

LOL

Oh goodness, I am making myself laugh.  But seriously.  I really like it.  Try some!

The Tudors

BFF and I have discovered a brand new television series.  We have been watching the Showtime show The Tudors.  Henry and his many wives are fascinating.  Such a great show.

The BFF has been absorbed in work lately and we haven't had tons of time to just chill out with each other and enjoy each other's company.  Tonight we were able to spend a couple of hours chatting, hanging out and watching The Tudors.

I love my BFF.

Saturday Sales

SI & drove down to Tilton Outlet Centers today and had a great time enjoying the sales.  I haven't purchased anything for myself in a long time.  Today was the day.  I needed some jeans.

Turns out that the Coach Outlet Store was having a huge sale.  I LOVE purses and wallets and other accessories.  I like scarves and shoes and other accoutrements.  I normally can't afford anything at the Coach store.  Today though...today...there was a HUGE sale.  Everything was a reduced price.  Then there was an additional 30% off everything in the store.  Then the clearance items were 50% off, plus the additional 30%.   So I bought a little clutch wallet thing.  Cost me $23!  Woo-hoo

Then SI and I travelled over to Lane Bryant and I got lots of new items for the winter-spring transition, including a hot pink trench rain coat.  I like it a lot.

yay to sales and outlet stores.  Yay to a great day with a friend.

GLEE!!!

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

Okay, it is very difficult for me to contain my excitement.  I got tickets! BFF and I are going to see Glee Live in Concert on June 6, 2011 in Boston, MA.  I am sooo thrilled.

So many favorites from season 2 that I'm excited to hear. Here are a few:

I am proud!

My friends are doing such great things... I am so proud of their accomplishments.

JF just became a full professor

TC just completed her ADD coaching certificate

JP completed her dissertation and is now Dr. JP.

Bossman is making significant progress on his dissertation and will be Dr. Bossman very soon!

I am so glad to have such great friends.

Here I am!

Holy crap!  Life has been insane.

Lots of stress.  Plenty of laughs.  Lots of moments of joy.

I have missed writing in the blog and taking the time to reflect and share.  I think I'll even change the background and color scheme.
