Marvelous Monday? And cooking advice needed!! :)

So, walked in and had a daily memo (I'm assuming it's daily..haha???), and it's called Marvelous Monday.. Must admit, it kinda made me smile. I yell expletives at my alarm am not especially a morning person ;) but I respond well to positivity... so there ya go. (caveat: unless I'm especially cranky...b/c then I'd just make fun of this memo's title in my head). But today, I liked it. ha. Did you have a marvelous Monday?

My Monday was pretty good, but long. Just some of what we're doing right now leading up to the D@y of Caring (formal kickoff) is delivering campaign packets to the local companies..b/c some want to get started now..and that way we already have quite a few rolling already. a LOT actually. Here are just a few...like 6 or more per bag (one per company including pledge cards, etc). These bags are everywhere and packed full! Then, once I get a hold of someone at that company who is running their campaign, I set up a time to deliver the packet and have a personal meeting.

Today, I called prooooobably too many companies to count. My personal fav was the "Ma'am, are you aware we're in bankruptcy?" (it's a given, people.. you know who I'm talking about.). I said "Yes! I just wanted to give you the chance to donate like other local companies should your employees desire to..." I ended up getting a meeting with him, but man alive..that's about how my morning went. *sigh* It.was.tough. Call after call..attempting to start each one with a fresh smile and perspective. But, I after lunch, almost every call was positive and really enthusiastic about the campaign so that helped! Picking up queenies for lunch (an awesome local deli) also helped. I ended up getting meetings for the bulk of the next couple days!! Hooray!! :)

Side note: I'm still getting used to my schedule n stuff, but if you work downtownish and want to grab lunch, lemme know b/c I'd love to in the next few weeks! I'm not used to being in that area for lunch! :)

So, have you ever had a day where you dressed for work and thought "day-yum.. this is a good combo!" and been really proud of yourself? haha! I had one of those days.. Banana dress. Cute belt. Button down under the dress. Cute necklace. And ballet flats. I was impressed with myself. Come on.. tell me you do this in your head sometimes too. (??) :) I'm usually too half asleep to think about adding a cute belt to a dress, etc.. but this whole laying clothes out the night before is really working wonders for my style.. just sayin. ;)

Speaking of nighttime, as Gracie and I headed to bed last night, she looked at me..and I looked at her...and said "aw crap" when we realized my comforter was still.in.my.car. (No, my dog didnt talk, but yes, I think she understood me). Arg!! haha! I'd taken it to be cleaned and forgotten to get it out of the car. And I'm not a fan of fumbling with a large item in the dark and my keys in my pjs.. soo..in the car it was going to stay. I ended up waking up wrapped bizarrely in my sheet, a chenille throw and a winter blanket I'd retrieved from the closet shelf around 3amish when I stumbled to the hallway sleepily and freezing. Good gosh.

This is random. Sorry. Staying with that theme.. did you know Wolfgang P*ck's place is coming to TULSA?!!!!! Apparently I need to watch the news more. For real. How awesome is that?! (For those of you not in Tulsa, you'd be surprised to know we're actually a test market for a lot of companies..for reals.. I promise I'm not blowing smoke here.. haha). There's a new wrinkle for your brain or something. :) On that note, Harrison Ford's son opened a restaurant here a couple years ago. It failed. But, whatever. It was here.

Okay, blog friends, I need your help here!! I want to cook Eric breakfast on Sunday morning (aka his bday!) He knows about this so there's no surprise ruined if he reads this post. That said, I want it to be good!! And I don't cook breakfast that frequently..b/c well.. a cereal bar is easier than anything else when you live with your dog. *shrug* So, here we go. Help needed! Tips! Advice? Thoughts? Recipes? I want it to be fairly simple: eggs, bacon, yada yada.. What I could REALLY use help with is something unique (whatever you recommend) with any part of a breakfast dish or maybe a potato thing (we LOVE potatoes.. who doesnt, right?) or recipe for sausage gravy or something!! Your thoughts are welcome!!

Hope you had a "marvelous Monday" :) I also kinda hope we have a Tuesday memo so I can see what adjective they use for it... haha! ;) Lates, lovelies!! XOXO! AND HAPPY SEPTEMBER!! I cannot believe it's already September!!!!!!!! Whoa! (Dont mistake this post for excitement about that.. I'm unsure whether I'm ok with summer being almost over already...but I do love me some fall). :)
