More Products We Love: Formal Complaints!

I've been introduced to the wonderful world of complaint-filing. Thanks to my friend Jeff who had been surprised by a voicemail left by Officer "D", saying, "we need to talk." Why would officer "D" need to talk to my friend Jeff? Turns out Jeff's doubles partner for the Lincoln Tennis Association is a little crazy. Jeff admitted to being a little growchy at the last match, and he felt bad about it so he contacted his doubles partner later via e-mail and appologized for his growchy beavior. Crazy doubles partner then filed a complaint with the Lincoln Police Department, outlining the fact that jeff played poorly and then forced his e-ppology on her.

I had no idea you could file a complaint for this type of thing, and I assume if this is an acceptable complaint, the parameters are pretty wide. So I'd like to file a complaint against Daniel because he played too well during our cornhole match on Sat. I will also be filing this complaint against Scott and Serhiy, who also played better than me. Ellen don't worry, you're in the clear.

The good news is that Jeff won't have to worry about any more awkward tennis matches in the near future. I guess his crazy doubles partner will be moving back to Dallas next month because she has found it difficult to make friends here in lincoln. I can't imagine why.

Daniel, Scott, Serhiy: You're on Notice!

Well Bryant this makes for two times that I've thought of you today

The first being the corn pancakes with blueberry-orange syrup recipe that I said I would mail to you weeks ago. (I mailed it tonight).

The second is from this picture. It looked like something you might think to rig up, in a pinch.

Don't miss this deal !
This is not a joke. I verified it on the urban legends websites...

You can get a free BBQ grill from any of the following stores:

Super Saver

It's Random Products Review Time!

Products we love:

Cap'n Crunch. I had this cereal for the first time this week. Since I was out of my Organic Cocoa Koala Crisp from the co-op I decided to mooch some of Jamie's Cap'n crunch. Sweet. Corn-y. Stays crunchy in soy milk. Delicious.

Dr. Bonner's Pure Castille Soap (pepermint). I normally get Dr. Bonner's Pure Castille soap in the almond variety, but since the new job came with earlier hours I've been feeling a little sluggish in the mornings and thought that the pepermint might pep me up a little. It did. I found out though that the pepermint pep is a little to peppy when washing intimate areas of the body. Just a word of caution. I found this out when I ran out of my Johnson and Johnson's 1/3 body lotion baby wash which I generally use for more delicate washing terrain.

Products we hate:

State Troopers with nothing better to do on a Saturday night than pull people over leaving the Golden Eagle casino at 6 miles over the speed limit in a test drive vehicle.

I'd just like everyone to know

that my new bra, (thanks to Daniel's rescue mission) the new seamless demi from Victoria's Secret is working out fantastically. I figured I would give my review since Ellen mentioned in her post about my new bra; I guess it is no longer Victoria's "secret."

Extremely comfortable: So comfortable that I forgot to take it off last night when I fell asleep. Although this could have been because I was extrememly tired. But still, didn't awake to any itchy straps. The material is very soft and a hi-tech blend of spandex and something else I forgot.

Support: It's a cost-effective boob job alternative. These babies are comfortable secured but still allow for just the right amount of bounce.

Affordable: not really, but I had a ten dollar off coupon.

I give it 4 stars. (that's 4 out of 4 ellen, just to clear up any confusion)

My appologies. . .

for this ridiculously long hiatus from blogger. You see, I got a new job and I started last week. It's going really really well but let me tell you, giving 100% and putting your best foot forward everyday requires lots and lots of time and effort. I had no idea. Plus, I've been juggling my previous job duties and trying to fit in some contract work over there for a little extra money. Did I mention that I'm a single dog-mom? My stress level is maxersized. So anyway, I'm back and I can't think of one good story in my entire absence. I've let you down, I know. I wanted to make Ceri snort out loud again. . .
So about my new job: Its totally fantastic. I have the near perfect balance of laid back relaxed work environment with all the benefits (financial rewards, benefits package, office comfortability, job security) of a larger corporation. The people I work with are all very friendly. I went in last Monday with a mindset of do or die. I was totally prepared for a hazing but was pleasantly surprised by friendly chatter, smiling faces, and a powerbook G4 to greet me. I'm smitten with my cubicle. I wanted to do the punching arms into the air/while jogging to the desk dance a la Cobert Report. That's good stuff, but thankfully I was able to stifle it. Didn't want to scare them off on my first day.

I'll keep you posted (more regularly).

Have a good week.
