Last night, a few of us found ourselves involved in a discussion about #. What does # mean to you? If I called say, the IRS for example, their automated system would most likely instruct me to enter my social security number, followed by the “pound sign.” Or sometimes we use the # sign as an abbreviation for the word “number.” #9. so you could imagine our utter shock and horror when my dear friend Tom explained to us how he was recently corrected by his intern, “…number sign???? Do you mean HASH TAG?!?!?” Soooo, my question is…When did the pound sign officially become “hash tag?” Is it a generational thing? Or are the terms completely different and one applies to social media situations and the other applies to everything else? It’s these types of though-provoking, yet completely irrelevant conversations that make me happy. Ergo, I am enjoying a Mega Stuf Oreo. I don’t care how much filling is in between those two cookies, whether it’s 1.86x the original or 2.68x the original, it’s still a lot and it’s still awesome.

Other happy thoughts that earned Oreos…

“3 day weekends make me happy.”
“Advil makes me happy.”
“Fitting into a smaller dress size makes me happy.” (counterintuitive, I know, but she’s training for the Chicago marathon)
