Dream Big Isabel!

| Viciously Sweet

So many year ago… when Isabel and I were but children (Okay, teenagers without cars) we used to sit in front of school and talk about music, how to avoid creepy teachers, and our dream cars.

One of the best ideas was to take Isabel’s first car the Mercedes Station Wagon and to transform it into a beautiful monster truck/convertible. Not only would she get the wind whipping through her hair, but she would be at a much higher altitude. This would of course alleviate her from all the possibilities of getting hit in the face with a sticky plastic bag.

Although neither of us have the money to do it yet, I beg Isabel to keep dreaming that this can be her reality someday!

Keep the dream alive!

P.S. I forgot to put the ‘R’ in Danger… you should do that for yourself! :)

Professional Quote of the Day: August 31st

| Viciously Sweet

On this the last glorious day of August. I present to you the PQOTD.

Professionals don’t like a single thing to be out of date when it comes to technology. If you really think about it, how would it look to other professionals? This simply could not be tolerated.
Eric will succinctly explain this with the following quote:

Please stand back, he’s gotta sync this like a pro-basketball player.

Professional Quote of the Day: August 30

Today’s Professional Quote of the day is a simile to the natural environment… where fish belong in water, ponies belong in grassy fields, socially awkward teens belong in Hot Topic, and professionals belong in… New York

Look at all his people:

Thanks for the Professional Photo Wiki News!

They are both equal parts glorious, and productive!

Stop! Hammer Time.

| Viciously Sweet

If this doodle doesn’t scream I grew up in the 1990s also I am weird, I don’t know what will:

Also here is a picture of my sister with MC Hammer (one of my dearest possessions)… he looks a lot less doodle-y here.

Yep, we’re all weird in my family.

Sometimes Dreams Really Do Come True

| Viciously Sweet

We all have trials and tribulations, some bigger than others.

Some that stay with us for our entire life, this doodle shares with you some of the hardships I faced as a child:

And for those who know about how much I like chicken, you can just imagine the heartache. But now that I make my own money, and am an adult, I can eat all the chicken that I need to get by (and, then some.)

For those of you unfamiliar with my love of chicken, here is a great example of my relationship with chicken:

Have a Happy Friday!

P.S. Also on a side note into my real life… Today my recently engaged sister purchased her wedding dress, and I got my bridesmaid dress. Chicken was had by all!

Also next week there will be so many more professional quotes!

Professional Quote of the Day: August 25th

Good Afternoon, Professionals and Professional Enthusiasts-a-like!
It’s what you have been waiting for… THE PQOTD!

Just in case you were wondering about Eric’s email flow, he may be making a chart soon:

I’m sure that spreadsheet will be a golden example of professionalism.

But for all of you who are visual learners, this is what I gleaned from this quote:

Things will just keep getting more professional for Eric… until he’s the most professional professional in the WORLD!

Professional Quote of the Day: August 24th

| Viciously Sweet

Today’s professional quote shines a little bit of professional light onto the world of contractual obligations.

Just a word of advice from this Lauren to you (please, sing that in the style of Spice Girls “Wannabe.”)
If you want to work with Eric… you’ve got to get professional.

Make sure your contracts are crisp, and thorough, otherwise you may have a grumpy professional on your hands:

And much like the Hulk you don’t want this professional angry
