hugs and vegetarian quotes

I am off to the Veg Food Fair today – all day, I’ll be there from 11-8. I think I’ll be making smoothies, which is one of my favorite things to do.. so I’m looking forward to it.

Random things on my mind..

Marie has a great saying:

3 hugs a day for survival,
5 hugs a day for maintenance,
& 7 hugs a day for growth

(I was telling her about how I never thought of myself as a particularly huggy person.. but I really like this hugging culture I’ve encountered here at work.. and seem to be fitting right in with it ; ) ..but then again, always thought of myself as having a somewhat chameleon-like nature

My last e-mail subject line: Obfuscate incompetence with a scumble
Wow!
