Attention Coffee Fiends
Sep 29th
Hello. My name is Bobbi… and I’m a coffee addict.
Well, okay, I’m not nearly as bad as some people I know who sustain a constant caffeine high throughout the day. And I’m not like my friend Matt, who fancies himself a coffee connoisseur. I actually think I see a tear in his eye every time I add sugar or milk to his high-end, self-ground, lovingly brewed java.
But ultimately it doesn’t matter whether you’re a fan of instant or a bean elitist. If you’re anything like me, you just consider today a super-fantastic-great day because, regardless of cost or quality, all those cups of tasty hot joe we down will be in honor of National Coffee Day! More >
Feelin’ Good in the ‘Hood
Sep 28th
There I was, in the passenger seat of my friend’s car, stuck in traffic Sunday afternoon trying to get home. That’s when it hit me… I really had to go to the bathroom!
It’s an awful feeling, not being sure if you’re gonna make it or if you’re gonna be the butt of a bad joke for the rest of your natural-born life. Thankfully, we made it to my place without incident, only to find that I had NO IDEA where my keys could be! More >
Autumn has Fallen
Sep 23rd
Summer is officially over, my friends! And like the card says, it’s time for “cool climes.”
That means it’s time to store the air conditioners and flip on the fans; store the shorts and slip on the sweaters! Or, in my case, super-comfy hoodie sweatshirts! And though I’m not, generally speaking, a fan of wearing shoes, I do love a pair of thick fuzzy socks!
Ahhh, autumn! I absolutely love this season! For me, fall is really all about two things. More >
Let’s Toast to Oktoberfest
Sep 18th
It’s official! Raise your glasses high, because Oktoberfest is now underway! And it’s not just any Oktoberfest. This year’s event, which is September 18-October 3, is the 200th anniversary of this historic celebration.
Though you may not be one of the more than 6 million people who congregate in Germany (Wikipedia says it’s actually the world’s largest fair!), you can enjoy the festivities wherever you are, and you don’t even have to drink to do it. More >
Clued in by Chance!
Sep 15th
Not too long ago, one of my designer friends on the MFC team suggested that we do a fun, cinematic black & white eCard for PB & Jay. I was extremely into the idea and immediately jumped to a Sam Spade type script.
Suffice it to say, I’m a sucker for a good mystery! I just spent several weeks reading the entire Sherlock Holmes collection. I adore Rex Stout’s Nero Wolfe series, and was a big fan of the short-lived TV show, too. And, of course, who can deny the genius of the queen of mystery, Agatha Christie? Every time I stumble upon Hercule Poirot on the tube, I’m trapped until the big reveal. More >
