people call and they ask, like – what’s new with you guys?\u00a0 – well, really – honestly – nothing.\u00a0 we’ve both been working like dogs these days.\u00a0 things were going to get better in 2010, but so far neither of us has seen the effects of this great revolutionary change people talk about when the clock strikes midnight on new years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

this past week i never even took my camera out of the case.\u00a0 shocking, i know.\u00a0 when we were not working we were catching up on chores, laundry, mopping, dishes, cleaning rugs, vacuuming, dusting, you name it – we cleaned it.\u00a0 aside from being like cinderella, we really have not been anywhere or done anything too terribly exciting except for dinner with the neighbors last saturday evening.\u00a0 we had a great time and really loved the restaurant we went to.\u00a0 most of you already know that i am a huge fan of yelp.\u00a0 (www.yelp.com<\/a>)\u00a0 for those of you who do not know what yelp is, well – you’re missing out.\u00a0 its a site you can go to to not only read reviews about any local businesses in the area, but you can also write reviews of your own.\u00a0 the site is pretty amazing because they allow you to upload your own photos of the places you’ve tried and people get to vote on your reviews and your photos.\u00a0 right up my alley.\u00a0 having the background in customer service evaluations, and all of dad’s history with the food industry, yelp is a natural past time for me.\u00a0 i normally take my camera with me everywhere we go, and just take photos of anything i find beautiful or interesting.\u00a0 however, when we go out with friends we don’t know very well i try not and scare them by dragging my camera along.\u00a0 (some people are terrified of cameras.\u00a0 i never got that, but hey – to each their own.)<\/p>\n

well, with a tighter budget and less going out to eat this year it makes it harder for me to “get my yelp” on.\u00a0 however, when i do, i get super excited about writing the review and watching to see the comments that come from the reviews.\u00a0 (people actually read them!)\u00a0 yelp is pretty new in raleigh (compared to chicago) and we just got a new feature in january called the ever elusive “REVIEW OF THE DAY”, otherwise known as ROTD.\u00a0 i’ve been watching the front page every morning before getting my cup of coffee to see who’s funny review lit up the front page with its brightly golden colored star.\u00a0 then, this past week, with things being so busy – i did not even check.\u00a0 i got to work and when i stopped for a lunch time break i checked my email to see i had a compliment from a fellow in seattle, congratulating me on ROTD!\u00a0 i started freaking out because i was so excited that i got the ROTD!\u00a0 i went to the page and took a screen shot so i could memorialize this event, then i was going to call rudy and share the good news.\u00a0 (after all, she is the one who got me into this in the first place.)\u00a0 bummer, total bummer – rudy was at school this week so i could not call her.\u00a0 let me call husband, nope, not available.\u00a0 who else can i call and share this good news…\u00a0 i called kathy, she was like – umm- okay that’s great.\u00a0 haha!\u00a0\u00a0 she did not get so over-the top excited like i wanted her to.\u00a0 i was like\u00a0 man, this is big, big news!\u00a0 finally, when rudy got home from school later on that night she gave me the (smoke up the a**) kind of boost i was looking for.<\/p>\n

however, i must give kathy credit as well – after all – if she had not been hospitalized last week i would have never been to which wich and i would have never gotten rotd, so thanks to kathy for allowing me the visit to that side of town and the starvation running through my veins that made us stop at which wich, which resulted in my rotd award!<\/p>\n
