faux camping

On Saturday, I went "faux camping" Basically, we headed up the canyon, went hiking, ate yummy food and cooked s'mores. We decided that we should bring "gourmet s'mores" to share with the group. This consisted of organic graham crackers, high quality chocolate and homemade marshmallows. They were quite the hit! Contrary to popular belief, marshmallows do not come from outer space. And, they are quite easy to make. You should try it sometime with the recipe found here.

a great quote

I saw this on a blog I follow:

I couldn't agree more! As much as I appreciate email, text, IM, twitter, facebook and the like, I often miss good human interaction and contact. Maybe I'm showing my age, but there's nothing better than actually face-to-face interaction with another human being.

look what was waiting for me

when I got to work today....

Thanks Anne P! You always make holidays so much more fun around the office. And yes, I do love Peeps!

grilled cheese tour of slc, part 1

For those of you who don't know, April is national grilled cheese month. And, Meggie and I love us some grilled cheese. We've decided that the best way to celebrate national grilled cheese month, is to find the best grilled cheese in SLC. First up, Carlucci's Bakery. Monday's special is grilled cheese and tomato soup. The best part of the grilled cheese here, is their tomato soup, yum!! Don't get me wrong, the grilled cheese is quite tasty--thick homemade wheat bread and 2 kinds of cheese. But, the tomato soup is what makes it so fantastic. There's almost nothing better than tomato soup and grilled cheese. We'll definitely be going back for this one.

amazingness

I may or may not have given the following to the VP of Sales:

Why Melissa is AMAZING!!!

If you ask me to prove my amazingness in a pie chart, I will. And, I'll print it out and post it in your office.

my own piece of art

Last night I went to an open house at this art studio. It was lots of fun and there was some very cool art. Although not the most amazing piece I saw, this is probably my favorite!

I'm so glad that someone found it necessary to make some art out of my name!

love is in the air

I'm not a lover of Valentine's Day by any means. However, I think this is just the sweetest necklace. See it here. Will you be my Valentine (and please buy me this)? I think I may just have to buy it for myself.
