30 Years Later

Aside from telling us that Coke Zero tastes like regular Coke, I think that this commercial was intended to have us look back at the old Coke commercial. So that's what we shall do. And happily. The original one is excellent.

Mean Joe Green

Correction: Make that 29 years. Mean Joe Green was in 1980 according to Adland.

66 days ...

... til March 7th! The wedding countdown widget I've got on here I totally stole from my Hot Cup's blog.

Pictures <3

A wonderful family friend and photographer, Jean Allen, took our engagement photos. Here are a few of them. Hot Cup isn’t as big of a fan of a couple of these, but it’s my blog :p




I wasn't sure which ones to share. I tried to use ones that probably won't end up in the announcement, but if one of these does, sorry for the repetition :) I also tried not to use too lovey-dovey of ones, you're welcome.

Customer Disservice

Why offer a service you can't deliver?

I was shopping online and had a question when I saw they offered live chat. I've used live chat on other merchants' sites many times before, it's usually instant and helpful and I was pleased to see they offered it too. So I clicked to chat but no one ever came. I was at work so decided to do other stuff while I waited. But no one was there!

After a few hours I finally just emailed them and they responded very promptly. Why did they offer live chat if they weren't going to chat with customers who tried to use it? So lame.

LOVE

Someone proposed to me on Saturday! Who am I to refuse? Especially when it's preceded by an awesome date and accompanied with all sorts of romance? But seriously, I love my Hot Cup of Joe so much and am really excited!! I’m so lucky!

For those who don’t know, my amazing fiancé’s got a blog too, you can find it under Good Reads in the column on the left. Just click Hot Cup :)

Happy Anniversary

Today marks 1 year of blogging for me. Thanks to the few of you who continue to stop by, for making it so I’m not talking to myself.
