ContraBand

Last week, our Customer & Solutions group had an offsite out of the office and we always choose a fun theme. This year, each team competed in a Battle of the Bands. We performed the "Ruff Ryders Theme" by DMX as ContraBand. Fun play on words, isn't it? I owe all cleverness to Lindsey. But I have to say, the golden cup of glory was stolen from us by a competing team called Mickey Moose. Enough, said. We definitely were the real winners. When I get video of us performing, I will definitely share that file!

Guilty Pleasures

I was asked today what things I was "into" that I wouldn't necessarily freely admit?... What an interesting question! Maybe some of you have better ones, but I found it kind of fun to decide what things are true (and somewhat funny, too!) I'd love some comments on this post. REALLY>>>>>> I want comments!
Here are a few:

-Listening to Justin Timberlake and even, Britney Spears, on occasion. Catchy music, is, well, catchy...
-Watching bad television when I'm exhausted.
-When I'm depressed, giving in to the momentary wake of emotion, just because.
-Averaging 3-4 days (Okay...Sometimes seven days...) to return calls. Sorry to all of you I have made wait!
-Showing up fashionably late to a party. (What? You've done it, too.)
-Deciding that love is hell.
-Deciding that love is fabulous.
-Having a crush on someone that is all wrong for me.
-Having a crush on someone who is hopelessly unavailable.
-Playing hard-to-get dating games. (Yes, I do it, too.)
-Enjoying a chick flick now and again (Sounds basic, but for me, it isn't because I actually have decent taste in films)
-Chocolate-covered strawberries (I don't really like chocolate except in this context)
-Ace of Base, Aqualung and other bad 90s bands, and even some bands that only use drum machines and call it music ***gasp!
-Chuckling when someone cuts me off and I find a way to "box" them in, so they can't move forward after they try to speed past a few undeserving cars on the road
-I spend money at the coffee shop like mad. Really, I do.
-Ice cream (yum!!!!!!!!!)
-Grinning when I find someone doesn't like me (and they don't have a reason, even better!)
-Watching cute footballers play The Game (Soccer, by the way, is The Game, AKA Football! in every country except the U.S. by the way)
