Cinnamon rolls may be good, but is it worth this?

Cinnabon update:

(If you missed what happened on Thursday, I wrote about it here.)

A third-party representative named Jorge called me on Saturday. He was very nice and wanted to hear my story. He especially was shocked that the woman never warned me it was hot water that she was serving me. He also was shocked that she served it with a cold-drink lid as opposed to a hot-drink lid.

He was also calling to make sure that franchise owner had called me. I informed him that he was the first person I’d heard from (aside from the response I got on Twitter that they would contact me directly.) So nope, no call from any franchise owner. He assured me that someone would call me today from the actual company. As of this post I have not heard from anyone.

As far as my mouth goes, it still hurts even today (4 days later!). The blisters on my tongue have subsided but the roof of my mouth still feels puffy and numb. I was out to eat on Friday night with Anil and I ordered some shrimp with cocktail sauce. Since it was all soft foods I thought it would be okay – but the cocktail sauce burned my mouth something fierce. It’s too bad, too, because that cocktail sauce would have been awesome sauce had my mouth not been in shocking amounts of pain. I had to stop eating at that point – because let’s face it, shrimp is pretty boring without the cocktail. Another meal, wasted.

I can drink coffee but only at lukewarm temperatures – ick. Since the hot water ingestion, my teeth hurt like never before. I feel like it’s ruining my vacation!

Michael said to me when I told him what was going on, “You can’t stand up for falling down!!!”  My feelings exactly.

Miles daily eventually = miles yearly

So, I used to post on Facebook and Twitter every time I would work out. And then I decided that was just obnoxious. So I try to save those workout posts only for something special, and I’ve moved my daily workout ramblings over to Daily Mile, where everyone is allowed to talk about their workouts [...]

Why I’m a sucky gift giver right now

Birthday spoiler alert warning for Elwood, Heather and Michael. I pride myself in being able to pick out gifts for people. I call it a, uhm, gift, if you will. Which is why it was so sucky for me in December when I could not, for the life of me, think of what to get [...]

Friends who are active and famous, and hot tubs that get snowed on

First off, I want to say thank you for all the kind words and support last week. Having a heavy heart and no outlet is at times, lonely. But, things are not all bad. In the good-news department, I have some exciting things to report: Good friend news #1 My friend Michael, an actor, has landed [...]

I hope you have the time of your life …

These are good times, my friends. Good times. As I prepare to run the longest run of my entire life in 3 days, my job this week has been to relax and be stress-free. And you know what I’ve realized? It’s really not that difficult. There is a lot to be happy about. Whether I’m  [...]

The best voicemail I ever got

Was recorded at 3 a.m. today. My good friend Michael came up with a really great Christmas present idea, which he blogged about here. The gist is this: For Christmas presents this year, he would serenade his friend via phone. All we had to do is tell him what time to call and what day, [...]

Great photos, fun design, sweet baby

Ingredients for the perfect birth announcements: An adorable baby, modern, hip parents, and a great photographer. Check out the announcements I designed for my new nephew – the blanket he is sleeping on is his dad’s baby blanket – how cute is that?

Hot tub shopping on the day I lost a dear friend

This isn’t as cool as eating a bologna sandwich beside Chevy Chase, but it’s a message I won’t forget any time soon. A memory One thing I’ve always hated about having pets is how terrible it is when it’s their time to go. When my parents’ dog, Sybil, died when I was in college, my [...]

Searching for footing

I am riding in the car on the way home from Greensboro, N.C., where I have been tagging along with Jeff for two days while he went on a work trip and I went with him to relax and play in the hotel. Instead of relaxing and playing, I was hit hard with some news [...]

Four Meme

Amy tagged me for a meme and I’ve been awful on blogging this holiday season … so here’s a start to 2009! Four places I go over and over again: Peak Fitness Starbucks Harris Teeter Borders Four people who mail me regularly: Chris Michael Amy Colleen Four of my favorite places to eat, (apart from [...]
