deserving of an endorsement

As an advertiser, I know the desire to have bloggers write wonderful things about your product or service just because they think it is fabulous. So, tonight I truly felt that I must spread the great news of Haagen-Dazs five. It's incredible. Only five ingredients: milk, cream, sugar, eggs and whatever extra flavor your heart desires (well, maybe only seven extra flavors, but you get the point.)


Please run to your local market, buy the flavor that your heart desires, skip the bowl and dig in. It's delicious. It's smooth and creamy and absolutely wonderful. The only thing better would have been to have some crushed up English toffee, but I'm won't be picky. And, since they were on sale at the good ole HEB, tomorrow night I get to indulge in this:


I'll let you know how it goes.

While I am writing this post only so that life can be a little sweeter for my dear friends after they indulge in this blissful treat, I am also aware that this post will most likely pop up in google alerts for the Haagen-Dazs marketing team. If you are one of them, please feel free to send me cases and cases of this delicious concoction. Just send them a couple at a time as my freezer is on the smaller side. Thanks.

a new favorite book

I know I have lots of favorites lately, if you haven't already, you need to read The Last Lecture. I borrowed it from Laura to read on the plane last week and there was definitely a point on our flight back when I had tears running down my face. The guy next to me probably thought I was crazy.

my stomach turned

Yes, as we stepped out on the glass ledge, my stomach turned. I didn't think it would, but look how small the bus looks from 103 floors above. We went to the top of Sears Tower (or Willis Tower if we care about new naming rights) and it was incredible. Did you know that they have robots clean the windows? And the elevator ride to the 103rd floor takes 60 seconds? My ears popped three times.

could be my favorite

I love Christmas commercials (maybe not as much as Greg, but who could...) and this one might top the list this year:
