Yesterday, our office manager sent us this simple and amazing email:
"Marisa Shreve sent us a box of peanut butter fudge! No picture, no card, just FUDGE!"
Are you serious!? Peanut Butter FUDGE! Let me tell you, it was pretty amazing. You could taste the love- except for Marty. Marty is incredibly allergic to Peanut Butter, and so even inhaling it is cause for alarm- and also, death. So when it comes to the fudge, Marty is a wet blanket, but the rest of us? Muy delicioso!
Take that, scale! Britt stared longingly at the fudge, but is completely devoted to her diet and would NOT give into temptation. Me? Who am I to turn away a delectable gift? I had 24 pieces- but, they were little pieces! Marisa, your gesture is tremendously appreciated. It's been a crazy couple of weeks and that was an awesome present! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Ted was glad to be back in the good ol' US of A, and nothing says freedom like a mouthful of scrumdidlyumptuous peanut butter fudge! Since you didn't send us a picture of you, I'm printing your picture up and framing it on our wall myself, we are honored to place you on our wall. As for the rest of the team? Well, here are a few words of thanks:
Karen: That was so thoughtful! Who doesn't feel appreciated when someone sends fudge? Thanks, Marisa!
[girl]Ashley: Indescribably amazing! Many thanks!
Yvonne: Very good! Thank you so much, Marisa.
Jaime: Mmmmm peanut buttery, sugary- almost made Trevor's head explode!
Ted: It's like a party in my mouth! An awesome, peanut buttery party. I Liiiiiikeee!
Ps. You didn't use batch 2111 of PeterPan Peanut Butter...did you? DID YOU!?

It's Biggest Loser time, PayPerPost style! The team starts a weight loss plan and Britt and Veronique take it one step further.

Top ten things to do or not to do in LA
10. In Hollywood it's not how hot your are but who you know! Nice moves Nat!
9. Do eat at the Ivy but don't use the men's room just because Taylor Hicks came out of it.
8. Do expect to wait over 1hr for a table even if you have a reservation.
7. Don't take pictures in your hotel lobby because you will get yelled at.
6. Do follow Cisco Adler and his band into a store to watch them try on women's clothing while filming a reality show.
5. Do dance right near the VIP area at 'Area' to get free champagne from the crew with Rick Fox.
4. Do stay at an overpriced hot Hotel and live like a Rock Star for 24hrs.
3. Don't piss off the security at Koi by dancing in the middle of the restaurant with your napkin as your prop.
2. Do grab Bruce Willis because it's BRUCE WILLIS... but don't expect him to take a picture with you even if you had a dream about him the night before.
1. Do find yourself on a Hollywood star!
So after Ted and I checked into our hotel here in sunny London we were starving. What better a way to kick off our London trip than a traditional English breakfast. We got eggs, sausage, baked beans, chips, etc. In our breakfast buffet meanderings we stumbled upon this interesting sausage looking thing and grabbed a few pieces, not thinking twice about it. We return to our table and begin chowing down. After maneuvering around the unknown food product we both decide to eat a piece, it had a very, lets say, unusual taste to it but at that same time not really having a taste at all...very weird. So the waitress comes over and I decide to ask what it is, which was a bad idea, I should have just let it go. Anyways after working our way through the language barrier with the waitress, yes she did speak English but it's not the same, we hear the words "Blood Pudding" and well that was all we needed to hear, we didn't finish our breakfast after that.
SO...Blood Pudding is a sausage made by cooking animal blood with a filler, animal fat, until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled.
Do people really eat this stuff?

Greetings from England! Travis and I are over here for Search Engine Strategies London. We got in this morning and our internal clocks are all messed up. It is 7:26 here and 2:26 in Orlando. Travis is passed out and I am wired. I thought I could sleep but I just can't.
At PPP we don't get separate hotel rooms, we share rooms whenever possible to save money. Travis and I are bunked up in a little hotel room about 5 minutes from the convention center. The beds are comfortable but they are only 11 inches apart, which wouldn't be that big of a deal except that Travis is snoring! I don't know why but it seems that all of the guys I ever travel with snore...loudly.
It is so bad that I actually bought noise cancelling headphones just so I can sleep. I made that decision after I went on a snowboarding trip with Doug White. He was snoring so loud that I went into the bathroom and slept in the bathtub.
Normally I am trying to sleep and the snoring drives me nuts, but because I am awake it is just making me laugh. I decided to have a little fun with it ; )
