Lis's Project 365

This is Chip, short for Chipmonk (like monkey?  get it?)  She’s super cute but apparently she’s kind of a jerk.  And she really didn’t want to let go off her ball.

I was having lunch with Brianne today, who is in from out of town, and was looking for an interesting place to go, since I know she’s a foodie.  Found the Craft Food Hall Project online, which I never would have found in person since it’s up a hill in an office park.  It features two counters:  the Sousviderie (burgers, sandwiches and other meals featuring sous vide) and Project X (which serves pizza).  My lunch was delicious, and I thoroughly enjoyed the company and conversation.  Always good to see good friends after a long time.

The hardest thing about taking this photo was not getting my own reflection in the silver balls (as opposed to silver bells).  I think I mostly succeeded.

I guess you can make anything with Legos!

This was on the “special” rack at the thrift store.  Generally, this is where they put formal gowns, leather jackets, and high-fashion label items.  I saw this and thought “Well, it’s a t-shirt dress.  I guess it’s cute.”  Then I spotted the original price tag still on it, and I laughed and laughed.

My colleague knows someone who works at Pepperidge Farm, so she brought a couple not-yet-available-in-stores goodies to a meeting.  These crackers were just your basic Goldfish with some Mickey shapes dyed red.  The other product was carrot Goldfish, and those were yummy.

I love responding to the surveys the RNC sends.

And this is one of the things I love about my little car.  Also, that a Fit fits everything you want to put in it!

I’m not a fan of the Elf on a Shelf, but whatever.  When the Mensch on a Bench came up, I thought “cute rhyme, unnecessary idea.”  Now we’ve got two more stupid so-called Hannukah versions?   Enough!  Just because there’s a Christmas thing, there doesn’t have to be a Hannukah equivalent.

Not as common around here as the downy woodpecker, this is the confusingly named hairy woodpecker.   And yes….it’s not alive.  It was in the Collections office at work.  Still cool, though.
