Erin Taylor Gets Flowers From Mystery Person

Today when I walked in the studio... I saw a beautiful arrangement of flowers. I was hoping that they were for me, seeing as Sweetest Day was Saturday.


It turns out that they were for Erin Taylor on the WBTI Morning Show! I was kind of nosy, read the card, and it said something like, "thanks for the amazing weekend" and it was NOT signed... how mysterious!

I kind of feel bad for reading her card, but I couldn't resist. It was just sitting there, without an envelope, in the vase. I think that if you are going to send flowers with a big, obvious card, you are inviting people to read it. What do you think? Have you read a co-workers in-flower-card?

White Castle Cravers Hall Of Fame (It Does Exist)

Before today, there would be no way that I would believe something like the White Castle Cravers Hall Of Fame was real. I have officially been proven wrong. I LOVE this story:















Marysville man, Jack Rowley, has made White Castle history. Nearly 60 years ago, Rowley recalls being a little boy enjoying a White Castle Slyder for the first time. NOW, he is a 2008 inductee to the White Castle Cravers Hall of Fame. Rowley and his wife, Betty, were at the Chesterfield Township White Castle in February when they saw an ad for an essay contest about craving White Castle. They decided it would be fun to enter. Several weeks ago he heard he was a finalist in the contest, and last week he found out he was an inductee. Jack Rowley also says he celebrated a very special 50th Birthday at (where else) White Castle.

Dress Your Baby Like A Thanksgiving Meal

This could be one of the weirdest things that I have seen online EVER, and that in itself says a lot. Watch as Martha Stewart discusses this delicious Thanksgiving dinner which is really babies on a table in food costumes.

(Hint: the best part of the video is within the first minute... the other 8 minutes are just there in case you want to see them)



I'm speechless. But I had to post the video once I saw it. Thanks for watching.

Lost Man Crashes Into Map Store!

I found this story and picture to be very funny and wanted to share it:












A New York man said he was confused about his route before he drove into the front of a map store in his SUV. Rodney Bailey said he was disoriented after leaving a parking garage at about 8AM. He made a right turn that landed him and his Ford Expedition inside a Hagstrom Map shop.
Read the full story here.

Hope this adds a little fun to your day!
