this is my friend daniel. we went to elementary school, junior high and high school together but i lost track of him around 10th grade. he was always one of my favorite people -- even though all the other girls fawned all over him [for obvious reasons], we were just always buddies and did algebra homework together.
and NOW he is a model. i saw his giant face painted all over life-size gap ads for the first time when i lived in nyc and had a minor heart attack right in the middle of 42nd street. since then i've gotten used to it. i've spotted him in j crew ads and most recently target. yay for daniel!
then we proceeded to purchase seven packs of gum, a personal record. why, you ask? because they were on sale! and also we love gum. and -- we've discovered a new flavor of orbit and IT was on sale too!
i've always loved orbit gum, mostly because of it's yummy flavors and it's lovely packaging. but these new mist flavors [while verging on being too sour for my tastes] take it to a whole new level! i've been saving my gum wrappers -- i think i'm going to use them to make a card one of these days.
in other news:
- the price of stamps goes up again in a few weeks, so go buy your forever stamps now.
- i went to the dentist today and encountered a brutal dental hygienist who repeatedly stabbed my non-flossed gums until my mouth filled with blood.
- i started out the week terrified of the swine flu but now [ironically, because the WHO caution level is now at a FIVE] i have resigned myself to the fact that if i didn't care enough to get a flu shot this year, i must not be that susceptible to the flu and therefore will take it if it comes. but if ONE person in my office shows flu-like symptoms, sorry tracy -- i'm working from home until further notice.
- look what i did to my cutie tangerine/orange!
"she could peel an apple in one long, curly strip." -- tom hanks, sleepless in seattle
[i can't do the apple -- i've tried, numerous times -- but i CAN do the cutie! yesss.]
and lastly, ONE WEEK till my mini stay-cation. that is all. happy wednesday!

I'm a huge Orbit gum person thanks for the insight, so cool that your frined is plastered all over the place. He is super cute but your humor and wit tops it all miss lady.
Love the random stuff post.
* Yikes--sorry about the dentist
* Totally relate to the gum thing (although i stopped chewing it around the time I had kids, no idea why)
*impressive work on the cutie
I still want to try and go walking sometime, but my schedule it just totally opposite of yours. sigh.
Miss you!
p.s. Allison's story is totally true. Sorry. I am afraid this ward has totally freaked you out about having kids. :)
Have you ever contacted your model friend? How fun. You MUST live in LA.
maybe when we reunite in utah valley we can take an apple peeling class together and get in right one day, eh?
I reserve the cards with the Orbits wrappers on them. they will be sweet!
i won't be surprised for the day i see your face plastered all over the city here. after your debut in realsimple, the sky's the limit, girl!
ps thanks for teh forever stamps reminder!
