Wednesday 8/14/13 gym, sales calls, MOVIE: Jobs & ZINBURGER

Wednesday 8/14/13

one of the GREAT things about my job is it
allows the flexibility to go to the gym in the morning!

my first stop today was an account I inherited.
We bike past here often & have never stopped.
The menu looks great & I am looking forward to
having dinner there SOON. Who wants to join me?

Today I met Will the owner who is super nice.
The bar area is quaint. I hope this becomes a
GREAT Account for me!!

my next stop was Golden Pheasant Inn.
how many have kitchens are supplied with tricycles?

now we have the DO YOU KNOW game….
These are SOME of the places I went today.
80 miles traveling… phew!

Do you know ROSS ADRIAN???

Who knows FRANK DALEY??

Do I hear someone knows ALEX???

This place is super nice & does events.
Would LOVE an “in” there….

This place was closed today.
But would love a contact here!

James Seward of Bowman’s Tower — ANYONE??

I need your help!!

Doggie having a good old time in New Hope

met up with friend TOMMY in New Hope –
all by accident – a good one!
He is helping me get into Martine’s.
Do you know Martine?

sister Pat got these FREE PASSES to see
a premiere showing of JOBS.
if it is FREE, it is for me!

This was only part of the line – there were
HUNDREDS of people – literally….
which meant we couldn’t get in 😦

that’s ok – bc we had PLAN B.

We had dinner at ZINBURGER in Cherry Hill, NJ

I like their logo with the Cow drinking a glass of wine

they send you a text when your table is ready.
Kind of cool, right??

Me with the Cow wall paper

I tried the Breakfast burger – which came with
a fried egg and bacon. It was good but we have
places that are closer to us that are better.

I would go back to Zinburger if I were in the area,
but I wouldn’t make a special trip there.

Tuesday 8/13/13 Floods, gym, work, new glasses (eye)

Tuesday 8/13/13

We had torrential rains today!!!!
a 15 minute drive could take hours today
due to the flooding & closed roadways.

Made it to the gym ~
but it wasn’t as busy as it usually is

Today most of the day was spent doing research & paperwork. I made some sales calls later in the day.
Everyone seems to be on Vacation!

TOMATOES – please, come help yourself –
we have an abundance!

FANCY new ziplocs I got –
you’re totally jealous, right?

My new reading glasses – for real!
Aren’t they the BEST!!!!???!!!

It’s hard taking your own picture but I managed.
I kind of had my heart set on the glasses I chose
last week at Pearl Vision – but at COSTCO I was
able to get TWO pair of glasses for less than one
at Pearl Vision.

Mayor Bob sighting at the
Rotisserie Chicken department!

Kissing/Biting Booth!!!
same price…. ten cents

LOL –
tapping on the glass
scares the Ice Cream!!!
~LOL

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE of things……

Monday 8/12/13 Wine, Good Deed (part 2)

Monday 8/12/13

this is the rest of PICTURE of the Day
for Monday — for some reason
WordPress split it into 2 posts..

opened this wine the night before:
THE SCOOTER

Merlot by Mollydooker an Australian Winemaker

It was the perfect pairing for the Chocolate cake!!

sister Pat & I did a good deed today.
our neighbors dogs got loose & we were
able to herd them home before the got lost….
or squished on Jacksonville rd!!!

Doing Good leads to more good.

What was your good deed for today???

Monday 8/12/13 WORK, Wine, Good Deed (part 1)

Monday 8/12/13

Had a lunch meeting today at LaFontana –
was hoping to run into Bill the owner but he
was on vacation. I get that a lot these days.
Everyone seems to be on vacation –
except ME!!
They have a decent amount of wine –
but they have “a wine guy” already.
Still I am trying to get in there.

stopped at the Kitchen Store next to Altomontes.
I need some 8 ounce glass bottles to share my
Infused Tequila. Do you know where I can buy
some of those???

Mailing Mail – will you be the lucky recipient??

I got MAIL today (thank you Stephanie!!)

It is Michael’s birthday present….
it’s from Santa Rosa, CA —
any guesses what it could be??

I’m on the hunt for Now & Later candy.
Anyone know where I can buy this??
sister Pat had a great idea to use these
as a “leave behind” for customers when
I show up & they are not there.
(which happens A LOT!)

I will leave the candy & a note saying
I was here NOW but I guess I will have to
see you LATER……..

Had a few appointments tonight in Doylestown

came here to HONEY
to meet AMY the owner but she wasn’t in…..

Does anyone know Amy or Joe McAtee??
They are the brains behind HONEY.

This is an awesome place to eat ( & drink wine!).

cruised passed PUCK, another one of my accounts.

NEVER GIVE UP

she was very dirty and long over due for a wash.

treated the guys who work here to a bag of pretzels.
Next time I need to buy two bags –
a dozen wasn’t enough!

WHEELWORKS on a Sunday afternoon 8.11.13

I bring the LEOPARD MOBILE here to get pampered.

http://wheelworkswash.com/

They hand wash your car & when you buy the
coupon book it is really reasonable.

WHEEL WORKS – not as busy as I thought it would be
on a gorgeous Sunny Sunday

LEOPARD mobile in queue

first vacuuming

then hand wash with special attention to the wheels –
they were dirty!!!

They hand dry your car

brought the guys a dozen pretzels –
next time I need to bring more –
there are a lot of guys working there –
I’m sure some got shut out!

The LEOPARD mobile LOVES coming here
– bring your 4 wheels here too!!!!

get little sleep, play tons of volleyball = WIN!

Everyone played Well – it was a GREAT DAY!
