Your Hair Is the Color of Tomoto Soup

April Fool's day was a day of craziness when I was growing up. You had to watch out for PJs that were hand sewn together loosely enough that you would become entangled in the threads and couldn't get your pajamas on quite right, cotton cooked in waffles or pancakes, salt where there was supposed to be sugar, etc. You get the idea. None of the pranks were harmful, just good clean silly fun.

Tip Junkie posted some ideas that would be fun to try. Rachel blogged about some more ideas. Martha Stewart chimed in with some good things too. In case those aren't enough, you can read about 100 April Fool's Day hoaxes.

Our Tech Team added ads to our Dashboard at work, saying it was a little something to supplement the company's coffers in the economic downturn. Our Front Office team changed everyone's phone names to something funky and made me Mushkababa today in honor of our volleyball days.

Now, who can I find that would be unsuspecting...

Let's Get It Started

Today I found a new online party planning resource . Holiday, birthday, bridal shower, baby shower, weddings, etc. It helps you create invitations or ecards, is customizable, offers list management and guest list management, sends event/birthday reminders, manages potluck sign up lists, links to Twitter and Facebook, helps you decide on a date, links to your e-calendar, links to party planning supplies, manages a to-do list, offers party planning ideas, hints and tips, and is pretty much amazing. In addition, it is free. I'm hooked.

Shot and Chaser

I did it! Today I braved a shot of wheat grass and am forever grateful to the Jamba Juice employee (Alexa) who recommended the orange juice shot as a chaser over an orange wedge. I'm not sure why today was such a momentous day. Wheat grass is something I've wanted to try for a while, but haven't dared do - kind of like my purchasing soy milk and hesitance to drink. (Thanks, Renee , for the recent soy smoothie introduction!) All I can say now is wow, wheat grass - talk about fresh!

Puttin' on the Witch!

Tonight, the majority of my family met at Gardner Village for dinner at Archibald's and then planned to wander the Village. It's Witchapalooza and witching time at the Village. By the time we finished dinner, most of the shops were closing. We looked around a bit and snapped a few pictures. I'll post them another time. The witches and pumpkins and Halloween decor was frightfully fun, but I don't think I've had such poor customer service at a restaurant before. I wish I could say that the restaurant was packed. Maybe there were extenuating circumstances we weren't aware of. Maybe it was an off night for them. Maybe I'm just grouchy. Birthdays sometimes do that. Guess I'd better see the Witch Doctor or something to get it straightened out. The company was grand: mom and dad; Adam, Renee, AJ, and EL; Nathan, Bekah, RD, and AM, and me. Their service gave us a lot of time to sit and visit. RD and AJ were darling. Both were in very good moods. RD had on hi...
