Churro Queen

| Viciously Sweet

I don’t want to ruin anyone’s dreams here (Sorry, Christine), but there is a new Benevolent Queen of Churro’s in town… and that girl is me.

After very little deliberation my Office decided I shall be the Churro Queen.

I got a beautiful sash, a bouquet of Churros, and all the scholarship money ($.75) associated with the title.

With my victory in mind I release the following statement:
I promise to keep the office of Churro Royalty steadfast and true, and I solemnly vow that no churro will get left behind.

But I would also like to add that I am only the Churro Queen of Glendora… I think Eagle Rock, Pasadena and Duarte have separate and equal Churro Queen Titles. And they are up for grabs… But I will bring it during the Miss Churro Universe circuit, girl.

Have a churro-rific weekend people!

Hall and Oates and Churros

There is nothing better in an already great day than when you add a churro to it.

I was so excited that Amber went to Costco and presented me with the most delicious churro known to Glendora! I upon making my acceptance speech on having received a delectable delight during work hours proceeded to sing a song to my beautiful dessert:

And just in case you need some help imagining the song, or want to sing to your special churro:

The Most Beloved Printer

| Viciously Sweet

My boss is super in love with the worst printer. It jams, and never prints color drawings correctly. It seriously will never accept that purple exists, ever… But I digress.

But it is the first printer he ever purchased for professional use. And you know how the men folks feel about technology.

His love for the 11 x 17 near my desk is so beautiful I think it should be crafted into a beautiful heart-wrenching novel.

Move over Twilight and all those stories crafted by Nicholas Sparks…

Never was there a love truer, than a man and his inkjet printer.

Samples of Awesome

| Viciously Sweet

Today I couldn’t have been more excited about getting new samples.

The best part of getting a new sample is peeling off all its protective coating. It’s like one of the best things about working in my office. So between all my deadlines I get to experience the shear joy of peeling off stickers!

This is actually the best thing that happened today! Because I’m not playing Call of Duty tonight :)

Things for all the Time: An Inflatable Fiend

| Viciously Sweet

Today I am not near a computer as I traveled up to Montana for non-professional reasons.

So with a little bit of internet magic I bring to you today’s very special edition of things from a Halloween Store I need for all the time.

An 8′ tall inflatable Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from “Ghostbusters”

I had no idea that my life was so incomplete without a blow up version of a thing I loved when I was a kid. I mean, think of all the magic that my life could have been full of. It just makes me want to sit down drink some Ecto Cooler and watch Punky Brewster with the freaking thing.

Anyone got $140 to spare so my dreams can be alive?

Things for All the Time: Elvira Outfit

| Viciously Sweet

Now this is really not a shocking story to add to the “Things for all the Time” cannon.
But when I was a kid in the bustling neon world of the 1980s I was totally enthralled with Elvira.

Like, I wanted to be her when I grew up. The thought of having huge hair, fun make-up, that poodle with a mohawk, was one of the most thrilling possibilities I could come up with.

And plus she gets to make fun of herself for a living, and watch awesome movies.

For a mere $40 Halloween Town wants to help make my Mistress of the Dark realities a real thing.
And not just for Halloween:


Just imagine sitting behind me in a movie theater with that hair.
