  • Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

    Did anyone else notice how awesome Google is today?

    Today is Dr. Seuss’ birthday – check out FirstBook’s blog post about this fun occasion!

  • Slow Internet on the Cell?

    How cool is it that you don’t have to get on the super slow internet on your phone (or worse – no internet at all) or listen to the ads on “Free 411” (1-800-373-3411) anymore.

    Once again, thank you Google for making life just that much easier.

    1-800-GOOG-411 (466-4411)

    Put it in your cell phone address book/contact list now if this is the first time you’ve heard of this!

  • Catch and Release

    So my good friend JD just called to let me know that he’s going to be on a little fishing expedition from November through February in Florida, then to Mexico, the Bahamas, St. Thomas, and on after that.

    It’s barely even turned cold here and I can’t wait to get out of here and do something like this!

    Click on the link above for a great 2 minute video… you won’t be disappointed.

    Costa Rica… here we come! (Hopefully…)

    PS – Did I mention JD called from the boat (still in NC though)?

  • How Pretty is Google Today?!

    Guess who will be doing a lot of Google-ing today?

  • Chi Phi Thai

    This funny little segment from this weekend’s Good Morning America really makes me miss my sorority days – and want a Red Bull really bad, too.

    Note: This took place at UNC, but all local letter-wearers can still support the awesome Greek system in the Triangle and our brothers and sisters in Carolina Blue. Well, that is… until November 22nd… then it’s ON!

    Click here (http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=5846165) to watch the UNC ADPi vs. Chi Phi cook-off on GMA since there’s no embed code.

    PS – Best tie-breaker, EVER. Watch the video!

  • Finally! Something Useful from UNC…

    Har, har, har. Had to jump at the opportunity to pick on the silly hue of blue down the road.

    I do love this article though from TBJ… more reason for me to return to 4-a-weeks at Buckhead (ie: hanging out all on each of the four nights Buckhead is open each week). Lace up those drinkin’ boots Renee!

    UNC study links alcohol abstinence with depressionCheers!

    PS – $5 says Ashton can use this in her daily email/blog tomorrow and that it’ll be the most popular link of the day. Sign of the impending apocalypse too possibly?

  • Take Your DOG to Work Day?

    Yes! I knew it was inevitable. I take Delta and Tank to work with me quite often actually. They LOVE running in to “Grandpa” (my daddy) and Uncle Bruce’s office and jumping in their laps. They also LOVE having their run of the showroom back to my office. I need to get a picture of Tank hanging out of my office window or Delta napping under the desk. If your boss won’t let you bring your pups to work… get a new job 🙂

    Side Note: I wonder if people in the non-South love dogs as much as we do down here. In fact, the only person I know who doesn’t like dogs… isn’t from around here and doesn’t like the South anyway. What’s her deal? I only forgive her because she wear the wine and silver blue 😉

  • For My Buckhead Fans

    Thank goodness I’m busting my tail at the beginning of this week… because from the looks of my Buckhead calendar… the end of the week is no work, all play!

    Thursday – Bring your pup and join us on the deck for Yappy Hour!
    We’ll have $3 martinis and $3 glasses of wine the two-legged types and snacks and water for the four-legged pals!

    Friday – Our One Year Anniversary Party!
    (Wow… I can’t believe it’s already been OVER a year since I joined Buckhead!)

    I have plenty of free tickets to give away – just email me at LJeffries@BuckheadRaleigh.com and let me know how many you want! See you there!
