I've been having an issue at work lately. People keep stealing my stuff out of the fridge. We have two full size fridges. One is full of pop for employees to drink, the other is full of nonsense (lunches, leftover catering, etc) and beer. Yes, my company is one of those cool ones that has Friday happy hours.
I have put my stuff in various spots in BOTH fridges, and it continues to get stolen. This has never been a problem in the past, so I am confused to why this has been happening the past few months. I have had two IZZE sodas, string cheese, and hummus stolen. Also, I found my half drank bottle of Naked protein smoothie in the trash. Still half drank. WTF is with that? And I'm not the only one. Andy has had string cheese stolen, and another coworker had his entire lunch stolen. We seem to have a fridge thief on our hands.
So I came up with a solution. Make a million labels with my name on it and stick them in very obvious places on the items I put in the fridge. Friday it worked perfectly. My ice cold IZZE was still in the fridge when I went to get it after lunch. Hopefully this continues to work.
My labels and my perfect placement of said label to insure that no one drinks my delicious IZZE.
The rest of my weekend revolved around food and family. Yesterday was the Boz's 16th birthday. In case you didn't know, the Boz is my little tiny baby brother, Dylan. Little tiny baby = 6'3" and so strong he could probably bend steel. We had some of the extended family over for fajitas and cake, and then had some fun in the front yard that included my mom freaking out because I was on my brother's longboard skateboard and she feared for my life. Then Boz and I found a huge exercise ball and commenced running into each other as fast as we could to bounce off the ball. Because that's how we roll. My little tiny baby sister, Al (little tiny baby = 20 years old) and I then decided to be weirdo sneaks and crawled up the stairs to spy on the Boz and his friend. Our spying was foiled by my idiot rookie mistake of using my head to push open his door and him catching us. Next time we will be more careful and be able to hear all of Boz's secrets. I bet they are super interesting and have to deal with 16 year old girls, soccer, and FIFA on the Xbox.

Yesterday I did a crap ton of homework. I'm taking 9 hours of classes this fall and taking a 6 week writing course on top of that. You could say I'm kind of busy with that + working full time + blogging + maintaining the Bungalow + trying to have a social life.
What did you do this weekend? Anything fun and spectacular?

Holy shiz, you're busy.
Happy Birthday to The Boz!
I love making labels, but I wouldn't love to make labels and have to put them on food/drinks that could be potentially stolen. People are so dumb.
If I worked where you worked, I would totes be the string cheese thief. Those things are just asking to be stolen.
Did we both have string cheese yesterday? As a matter of fact, I think we did.
Stopping by from the GFC Blog Hop. Following you now.
I hope you stop by.

Wowza busy bee! I've been there though & there is a light at the end of the tunnel ! At least the writing classes are for pleasure.
Ugh it is so annoying when grown adults feel the need to steal other peoples' food! I had this happen to me at my old office and it drove me bananas. Love your labeling like crazy idea :) I'm a new follower!

You are a busy lady indeed! I need to get my hands on some of those queso sticks!
I use to work at a Infant Care Center at a large cooperation in the Twin Cities. We had that problem as well. What we were thinking was that it was the cleaning crew who would come in at night and steal anything that sounded good out of the fridge, and other things such as glue sticks. Actually, they stole a crazy amount of glue sticks. It was such a mystery! But then, staff were starting to have money stolen out of their wallets, and other random things. One time, my boss had a piece of chocolate cake sitting on her desk. She had taken a couple bites, left it, and ran to the bath room. She came back and it was gone. Guess someone was really hungry for that chocolate cake. but, Seriously?
Hope labeling things works for you!!!
#1 You said POP! #2 I wish I could have friday (every day) happy hours at work. #3 crazy family time is the best!
Really? Freaking thieves...I really hope someone catches them and then embarrasses the crap out of them!! That's my girl, out smart those scoundrels!! And you said, "POP". Love it. And please send me the recipe for that queso stick, holy mother...I need that in my life!
We used to have a problem with the fridge when I worked at a hair salon, the saying was "no name, fair game." It really sucked!
Happy back to schoolishness! I think you should use some of your super spy skills to catch the office thief. Set up a camera perhaps?
Oh my gosh your blog is so cute! :) And I'm totally glad I don't have to label my things, yikes!
I found your blog on the GFC blog hop. New follower, whoop!
