Beautiful Day

Beautiful Day, originally uploaded by k1mb3rlyb.

Strolling over to the TarHeel yesterday I was absolutely ecstatic that the sun was out and NO RAIN! Just an overall beautiful day. Spring is coming, but not soon enough...

Lisa's Lunch Celebration

Another CELEBRATION today! That's 2 in a row this week. Today's lunch event was to wish the best for Lisa in her new role starting on Monday, February 15th.



The surprise lunch was at the Joan Benoit Building specifically in the Bowdin Room. We had an excellent hostess who greeted us and took our coats. As we waited for everyone to show up, we ordered our drinks and talked about how many of us had never been in or seen the Bowdin Room. About 5 minutes later Lisa walked in with a coworker and we all yelled, "Surprise"!



Lunch was excellent! Our set lunch menu was:
• Tarheel Salad
• Chicken & Salmon
• Chefs choice Starch & Veggies
• Dessert
• Choice of 2 beverages

Once we were all stuffed from the wonderful food & dessert we presented Lisa with a collage of photos from past events & get togethers. I was able to catch her reaction in the video below (excuse the shakiness of the camera).

Lunchtime Celebration

Our group was treated to a celebratory lunch for hitting some special goals in record time this year!

The rice crispy treat on the left was amazing! I guess today is going to be my "cheat day" for the week - food wise.

LINCOLN CITY FACTORY STORE

We made a team visit to the Lincoln City Factory Store prior to their Grand Opening on March 11th. It is only a 2 hour drive away so we all hopped in to the "Grocery Getter" (see below).


I got to relax in the backseat of the "Grocery Getter"- was a bit bored so I took a photo of myself and sent it to my peeps on groovr, twitxr and Facebook.


We finally arrive to the store and Erica realized she forgot her camera. I happened to hit the video record button on my camera and told her, "don't worry I've saved the day" - which she confirmed.


For lunch we hit up the only restaurant (mexican) that was open in this small town on a Monday at 1:30p... And with Menudo on the weekends, this must be one happening place during those days!


With food in our stomach, we were energized to finish the remaining items on our list. Thank goodness we had that energy - we did not leave the store until 6:30p or so...

Greg Oden's Get Well Card...

When I came in to work this morning there were signs to come out at lunch time and sign a get well card. Not knowing who it was for, I grabbed my manager and we headed out to lunch early.

When I saw the card saying, "Get Well Greg" it clicked... A couple of nights ago there was some TV coverage about Greg Oden of the Portland Trailblazers having surgery on his knee. The poor guy, number 1 overall draft pick is out for the entire year because of the surgery. After standing there thinking what to say on the card - I ended up jokingly asking, "What is a microfracture? Good luck!"

Air Time With Charlie

Today Charlie Denson held his "Air Time With Charlie" radio show in front of the Pete Sampras Building during the lunchtime hour. There is an email that is sent out prior to the show asking for questions to Charlie - I had a reply email ready for my question but never did hit the SEND button.

Anyway, headed over across the way, got lunch and sat outside for a bit and listened to the show. It was cool, they touched on Nike Retail topics (Yay!) and the up n coming Hood To Coast Race. I was only able to stay for 20 minutes or so, but it was cool to see the President of the Brand in our area rather than on stage in a presentation.

Thanks Charlie!

Tarheel Cafe

I decided to go upstairs to the Tarheel Cafe in the Mia Hamm building for lunch. They offer the best house salad on campus. Took this photo as i was waiting for my pizza to go back and work/eat @ my desk...unfortunately that happens WAY too often.
