Sticker

I woke in a good mood this morning, but for no particular reason. There again, it is F-R-I-D-A-Y! After a month of short weeks, it's hard to imagine being in the office for the full five days next week. Luckily, next weekend is a long one. I love all the market closures at the beginning of the year - typically one a month through May.

Back on track... there's a sticker on my banana today, "Place Sticker on Forehead. Smile. Chiquita". I don't know about you, but I couldn't help but chuckle to myself. Absolutely brilliant! What a way to start a FRIDAY! I'm also hopefully going to see BT spin tonight at Skye, we'll see if the hip flexor holds up for footy tomorrow after a night of dancing.

Hope everyone has a ROCKIN' weekend!

Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd, you know what it means, but perhaps you don't realize that you do. How about this, Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd? Or let's make it one simpler, IKEA. It's a brand that you know and recognize. It's a great place for fairly inexpensive furniture and home accessories. But without the acronym, you have no idea what I'm writing about.

I found that personally, I could give the full name for designer brands that I've been in constant contact. However perhaps that's because those designers tend to variably use the abbreviation for the name as well as the full name. It's companies such as CVS and 3M that although quite recognizable, without a list of choices I wouldn't get close to the actual name of the company. And even with choices, I missed.
