A Must See!!!!

My Friend Lindsay sent me this today and I almost pee'd my pants laughing!

I am better than your kids.
If you work in an office with lots of people, chances
are that you work with a person who hangs pictures
up that their kids have drawn. The pictures are always
of some stupid flower or a tree with wheels. These
pictures suck; I could draw pictures much better. In
fact, I can spell, do math and run faster than your
kids. So being that my skills are obviously superior to
those of children, I've taken the liberty to judge art
work done by other kids on the internet. I'll be
assigning a grade A through F for each piece:
Megan, age 4
First of all, I don't even know what this
is. If it's supposed to be a dog, then it's
the shittiest dog I've ever seen. F

Dying to see more!!! Check it out! http://www.yeeguy.com/better/better.pdf

How to make a Caramel Macchiato

Caramel Macchiato

Starbucks Style
Use a 12 ounce mug and remember that Starbucks uses .75 oz of syrup per 4 oz of liquid and 1 shot espresso unless you’ve ordered a double shot for their Macchiato coffee drink. Please note that I have added the use of caramel syrup which in actuality Starbucks does not use it in the drink they make but it does add an extra something. Try it!

Ingredients you will use:

1. 3/4 cup steamed milk
2. 1 shot espresso
3. 1/4 ounce or 1 tsp. vanilla syrup (.25 oz per 4 oz liquid)
4. your favorite caramel sauce for drizzle. I recommend Ghirardelli Caramel Sauce because it is just fabulous!
5. 1/4 ounce or 1 tsp. caramel syrup such as Da Vinci Caramel Syrup

Directions:

In your coffee mug, add vanilla syrup, caramel syrup and steamed milk. Top with milk foam and add freshly brewed espresso through the foam. Drizzle with caramel sauce. Don’t skimp on the caramel. Cause “it’s soooo good.

Tasting it all one cup at a time!!!! ENJOY.

Free Makeup???

Free makeup today at Macy's and elsewhereWant free cosmetics? It's yours for the asking today at Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Carson Pirie Scott and Nordstrom.

The giveaway is the result of a 2004 legal settlement in a case that accused cosmetics companies and the retailers of price fixing. Although the companies deny any wrongdoing, the settlement requires them to give away $175 million in makeup to customers who purchased a product between 1994 and 2003.

No receipt? No worries. They're operating on the honor system. Customers claiming a free product will need to sign a form stating they're eligible.

The giveaway runs while supplies last, through Jan. 26. Any remaining items (like there will really be any) will be donated to charity.

Manufacturers involved are Estee Lauder, Clinique, Lancome, Clarins, Guerlain, Chanel, Boucheron, L'Oreal and Christian Dior. Other retail chains that will be giving away free products are Bergdorf Goodman, Bergner's, Dillard's, Boston Store, Younkers, Parisian, Gottschalks and Herberger's.

A list of available products is posted at www.cosmeticssettlement.com.
