I'm published...well, not really

I got ask Jamie Oliver a question via online.

Q: Ask him about his new restaurant project with Chef Adam Perry Lang of Daisy May's BBQ in NYC. London needs a good rib joint! (felizglfr)

A: Good question! But that’s something that’s still in the planning stages. There will be news soon - don’t worry about that! Adam’s a great, great chef

Random Musings at Work: Part 2

Friend 1: hey felicia what are ur activities there in london besides work? like do u go to the gym or something?

Me: I don’t go to the gym. I tried bikram yoga for a month and really liked it. I can’t afford their classes though. I say that I’m going to run then I just go home and watch tv. My friends here go to the gym all the time but I don’t have that commitment.

Friend 1: hahaha u loser, omg...u tell ur co-workers ur goin for a run then go home and watch tv~~!!??

Me: No, my co-workers know I’m lazy so they would never think I’d run.

90% of my money spent this past weekend went to food. My belly shows for my gluttony.

Snow, Sainsbury's, Baked Goods and the Internet

The British LOVE the snow.

I'm sorry I'll be the first to admit how much I love the convience of the supermarkets (Waitrose, Sainsbury's, M&S and Tescos) here.

Another convience that I love: the amount of baked goods and baking products found

I am a professional internet browser. Is there any way I could get paid for this type of work?
