My past two weeks.

Since Survivor is on hiatus until the fall, I thought I would update you on my last two weeks and what I have learned. By the way, I wrote CBS a letter and asked them if the people who hide the hidden immunity could possibly in their heart attempt to find a different place to hide the idol besides inside a tree or a hollowed out log which I think is where it has been hidden the last 47 times just sayin'. Printing For the past three years our company has printed four monthly neighborhood magazines which are distributed in the Dublin, Ohio area. Each and every month I put in a request for 100 additional magazines to be printed for samples which are printed in our Des Moines, Iowa office and then sent to me. Last week I received 742 sample copies because, as I was told, "We hired a new girl and this is her first time doing this print run." What did I learn? Never hire new people who can't read emails or count. Cupcakes and Mom My mom sent my sister Julie and I to the store to buy cupcake inserts so she could make cupcakes for my nephew Nick's high school graduation party. The inserts needed to be white because the cupcakes would be the school colors of orange and black and if we bought the multi colored inserts, then the blues, reds and greens would contrast the orange and black of the cupcakes. I asked my mom if she thought the people coming to party wouldn't eat the cupcakes if they were in the multi-color, mismatched inserts. She never answered me. What did I learn? Don't question my mom on such high stress issues like cupcakes. My Nephew My youngest nephew Aidan is eight years old and is the smartest kid under the age of nine that I know. Of course I only know a handful of kids under the age of nine..........Dude is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge and is athletic. Anyhow, I asked him to come along with me if I make it onto Survivor and promised him I would buy him a pool if I won. What did Aidan learn? He never agreed on the size of the pool. Next week We will discuss that little bastard who cut me off in traffic and why I won't wear green shoes again.
