huff and puff (i first wrote buff)

I enjoyed everyone's responses to the last blog, "Life is a Candy," immensely! I've meant to respond to you individually, but have gotten overwhelmed at work, and therefore exhausted and tired at home. (read: therefore too sleepy/lazy to respond, but i will soon.) But I LOVED your research! I think now I should get us all "Life is a Candy" t-shirts!

In unrelated news, today I ventured across Mass Ave (no big or small accomplishment, depending on how you look at it) to the hardware store to see about procuring a mini-fan for my desk. In the mornings, despite the air conditioning, my cubicle space has been feeling quite stuffy. I had noticed a few people with large fans chillin' in their spaces, and thought, yes, for the first 10 minutes at my desk, a fan would be fabulous indeed. So, after seeing a few dull, very large fans, i looked up and found this gorgeous model (mine is the GREEN one pictured):



I'm in love with it because not only is it tiny and green and attractive (with soft fan blades, thus the baby hand in the second photo), but it's QUIET... one of my concerns about an office fan. I don't want the 6 closest desks to mine knowing I'm a wacko who is always hot and needs extra fanage in the morn. Also, it's Vornado brand, which I've come to respect as a fan manufacturer. A small fan often seems flimsy and breakable, and this is super sturdy and great.

That's all I've got. I'm done boring you for the day. ;)
