MILKTOAST: looking sharp!

looking sharp!

i use sharpies every day in my work--colour-coding notes, doodling during meetings, jotting down start dates and names on file folder tabs. they're fun for adding an extra bit of colour or even or the practical daily tasks--and i think we all could use a little fun during the day.

it seems to me they're making a real push for their brand (including recycling old markers--that makes my heart happy) and i just noticed one of their new print ads in july's real simple magazine. they're witty and clever. check 'em out:

i applaud their efforts in drawing up a modern plan of this classic american brand.

milk and toast -- a favourite and most nurturing combination. I like my milk ice cold with a straw (one of those cute paper straws with red stripes), or steaming hot, flavoured with a little vanilla and a lot of cinnamon. my toast -- usually two slices at once, and oftentimes flanked with apple slices or cheddar cheese -- is buttery and crunchy.

while growing old together with this blog, and watching it evolve, I've found joy in the milk and toast of my life, and have carved out a little place in the world wide web to record it. stick around, read a few entries -- perhaps you'll find something you love or can relate to.
