Twitter + Cupcakes = Curbside Cupcakes!I work in SW DC.... and there is basically nothing around... aside from the standard McDonalds, Starbucks, Potbelly, and Quiznos. Lunch is painful (well it would be if my Agency didn't have such an Awesome cafeteria!).... Happy Hour is sad.... Luckily there are awesome places 1 stop away @ Capitol South.... and don't get me started on all the Cupcake and

Anything! will be undergoing some changes...I've bought a domain name and will be re-branding... to Make Lemons...Origin of the phrase.......Many years ago when R, A, and I all worked together...we went to get yogurt at TCBY...and were riding back to the office. We were talking about something... (it may have been lack of sprinkles on the yogurt!).... and I shouted out Make Lemons!! When I meant

Last night I finally got around to hooking up my Wii Fit. My plan is to get back to running every other day (at least during the week).... and do Yoga/Strength Training/Aerobics via the Wii on the other days. So before you start the activities, Wii takes you through a setup where it measures BMI, Wii-Age, and Weight... along with Balance.Imagine my surprise when this message popped up....

About a year ago Starbucks introduced a new rewards program.... of the type where you pay $25 for a years membership and you get a percentage off each purchase, plus free stuff. If you go there nearly everyday like me... its totally worth it (maybe not worth it for Starbucks... they discontinued it) :) Now there is a Gold Rewards program... Starbucks went ahead and moved everyone in the old

Word or phrase. A word that encapsulates your year. "2009 was _____."Chaos.The home front was chaotic. From the beginning of 2009 I was running around trying to get the condo ready to go on the market, I found a buyer pretty quickly, but then had problems finding a house that I wanted to buy. When I did find my house, it was a short sale, with 2 banks involved. I lost my first buyer because

If you are in the DC area you know we are in the middle of some crazy wind...And over the last few weeks I have not been sleeping well, usually I wake up a few times, turn on Nick-at-Nite, with the sleep timer amd roll over and go back to sleep.But last night ... I slept awesome. Until about 5AM.... when I heard a big crash! Then I realized it was very windy outside... I figured maybe a shutter

Best packaging. Did your headphones come in a sweet case? See a bottle of tea in another country that stood off the shelves? I am a sucker for this every year ... Starbucks Holiday Cups make me happy :D

What's the best change you made to the place you live?This should be obvious to regular readers!!! The best change is that I sold my condo, bought a single family house, and cut my commute in half (thereby doubling my social life :P)
