Happy April Fool’s Day – The Office Style

If you know me, you know how much I love The Office. I stumbled upon this post, “14 ‘The Office’ April Fool’s Day Pranks.

A few highlights:

  • Put a co-worker’s stuff in the vending machine.

  • Dress and mimic one of your co-workers

You can read the full post here. 

 

I do think this article is missing one great prank that Jim and The Office team pulled – Dwight Meets “Asian Jim”. For your viewing pleasure

Have a great day!

Fun Friday

For today’s Fun Friday post, I thought I’d share a couple pictures to make you smile.

I found this one online and it gave me a pretty good laugh. You know, I love books.

 

Last week (3-14) was Pi Day and of course I had to share this one – I know it will come in handy for you.

 

And finally, #CHQ‘s very own version of the Schrute Buck. Yes, it’s worth the same ratio of unicorns to leprechauns as a Stanley Nickel. Dwight Schrute and The Office should always appear in Fun Friday posts.

 

Have a great weekend!

Spring Break – Iowa Style

It’s that time of year where schools are quiet and students have escaped for tropical locations to celebrate spring break.

 

If you’re not interested in sunshine and palm trees, maybe I can convince you there is plenty to do in Iowa over your spring break.

Maybe you should start with a tour of our beautiful state capitol. This remarkable building is constantly ranked on the most beauitful state capitol buildings lists.

Better yet, the governor and Iowa Legislature will be in session, so maybe you can catch some debate!

You should definitely get outside of the Des Moines metro area and take in some small town charm and lovely sights. Might I suggest Brooklyn? No, not Brooklyn, NY. I’m talking about Brooklyn, Iowa – home of CampaignHQ. There’s plenty to do besides swinging by our office to say hi. You should absolutely check out the flag display. 

 

All this fresh air is likely to make you ready to eat. And let me tell you, nothing beats small town Iowa food. If you want a change of scenery, you should “pop” on over to Just a Small Town Grill in Montezuma for the very best jalapeno  poppers on the planet.

In all seriousness, Iowa is beautiful and full of exciting adventures, great food, wholesome fun and amazing people. You should do some exploring this spring break.  #ThisIsIowa

Where is your favorite Iowa stop?

 

 

Summer Reading List, Comin In Hot

If you’re new here, you might not know how much I love books. You can read more about that here and here oh, and here.

Everyone needs a plan and I’ve outlined a few of my summer wish list books over on my Medium page. 

I’ve been waiting for Daisy Jones & the Six for nearly a year now. It’s almost time until we had back to the 70s…

Even though it turns out Beatriz Williams is a left-wing liberal, I cannot make myself love her books any less. This one features action, adventure and espionage surrounding Wallis Simpson and Edward in Nassau after the abdication.

And yes, there’s something new coming from Fiona Davis, too! It’s The Chelsea Girls.

This book was originally slated to come out last year. Not sure what’s taking Simon Sinek so long. Maybe his game is too infinite.

Head over to my Medium page to read the full post. 

What’s on your reading list this summer?

Fun Friday – CPAC Recap

If you’ve been following along, you know that recently Walter and I recently attended the Conservative Political Action Committee or CPAC.

 

As always, it was a great event and we really enjoyed making new connections, even on the plane ride there.

 

And catching up with old friends too.

 

This is Marjorie Dannenfesler, president of the Susan B. Anthony List , a longtime client of CampaignHQ. It was great catching up with Marjorie and it’s such a privilege to be a part of their team.

 

Marjorie was a featured speaker at CPAC this year, and she did a tremendous job talking about abortion, human dignity and what makes America great. You can check it out below.

 

Needless to say, we’re already looking forward to attending next year’s event.

 

Have a great weekend,

Nicole

What I’m Into

Here are a few articles and things I’m into these days.

I have been tracking the newest GOP congressman from Texas for awhile now. A former NAVY Seal, touts his conservative approach and snappy Twitter responses – what’s not to love?

 

Take Heed. You are not as logical as you think you are. These are just the first 24 reasons why …

 

I know what I’ll be doing on March 18th….

What things should be on my radar?

 

Thanks for reading,

Nicole
