park view: big spotted dog

 

Stumbled upon this pic recently.  It was a Union Square Farmer’s market find.  I don’t know my dogs well, but it is best described as a Great Dane Dalmation mix.  It was beautiful and one of the biggest dogs I’ve ever seen.  A great animal!  If I could have only gotten his face in the pic.  Where does someone keep a dog this big in the city??

today’s desk view: baby violet’s sandbox adventures

Probably the best part of today was Jeff bringing Violet into the office.  We played with Alison’s rubberband ball and her little hand held mine through the park for awhile.  *sigh…haha…very cute.  She was my ticket into the playground and sandbox in Union Square.  Sandbox time was hilarious to watch her go and collect abandoned sand buckets and fill them.  Good scavenger!  Made my day.  I’m very happy!!  She’s cute as a button.

dancing elves update

Thought of these elves randomly when I was looking down at Union Square today and decided to figure out why they were here back then. (pic is from the earlier post I had on the dancing elves to jog your memories).  I had heard a rumor that it was for an Office Max commercial at that time, but never saw them on TV or anything.  Turns out it was for Office Max and the promotion of the website, Elfyourself.com.  The video of the routine is above.

Too funny…haha…props to whoever it was for organizing that many people in elf suits and getting them to dance at the same time!

yesterday’s desk view: flossing?

Are those supposed to be giant teeth?  Strange set up in Union Square yesterday.  I think the person is supposed to be the “floss” running through the teeth.  Last time I looked teeth didn’t look like punching bags…haha.  There goes Casey running through the course!

Leaves that were once yellow are now orange or falling off.  Does that mean winter is almost here?  I’m hoping for a mild one…lol.
