Before a seminar's closing statements on Wednesday, I was told a door prize would be given to me. How dare them understatement this point to me? After tearing off the package as if I was a schoolboy on Christmas morning, I revealed a cell phone lounge chair sponsored by First Capital. It sits on my desk now, in Edmond, staring and begging me to place my mobile device on it ... but I refuse. How is this worthy to hold my cell? Since when is it such an inconvenience to lie our cells on the table with the back resting on the table surface? This just doesn't make sense to me. I don't have the willpower to throw it away, because maybe some day I will find use for it. But for now, the empty lounge chair sits vacant with a frown. It will not be propping anything up in this lifetime. I don't get the concept and I can't believe a company would pay to advertise on one -- not to mention, if a cell phone is on it, how will the advertisement be seen? Exactly. That's the icing that frosts the cake. Completely worthless in every way.
Sam:
I have a very eclectic style of decorating. A friend of mine once called the look chotchke; and aside from thinking it's a rad word, it is the adjective I think best describes my decor. There are numerous odd-ball knick-knacks around my room, but the one that tops them all is my baby blue baby Buddha piggy bank.Baby Buddha was a glorious find in the very back of a Boulder boutique on the SUPER SUPER sale rack. They were practically giving Baby Buddha away for reasons unbeknown to me. When I walked up to the register, proudly holding my new treasure, the cashier laughed a bit to herself. Undoubtedly thinking, "I cannot believe this girl is spending 4 dollars on this thing!". But the joke is on you Miss Cashier; not only is Baby Buddha incredibly useful got storing loose change-- but I'm racking up the good Karma when I wake up to Baby Buddha's smiling face every morning!
