Pizza Overload and “Delivering Happiness” Giveaway
Time for another Moment of Awesome posts, where I focus on the positive rather than the negative. It’s about what’s gone right, rather than wrong.
MoA #1: Earlier last week, I reported for jury duty. Luckily due to my current employment circumstances [under a contract and not paid for jury duty], I was excused from a trial that would potentially run through April and May. While it would have been interesting to take part in a trial longer than a week [I was on a jury two years ago for a week], I wouldn’t have been able to take a month and a half off comfortably. This girl’s got bills to pay!
MoA #2: Pizza overload. On Tuesday night, RV and I ordered a large pizza after postponing dinner time from our usual 6pm to about 9:30pm, and RV surprised me by eating half of it. Whoever came up with the idea of Indian + pizza is a genius. Hi Zante Pizza! Did I mention how the leftovers work wonders after a rough night with gin? Several nights later, we tried the pizza [super thin crust] at a newly discovered happy hour, and it was only so-so. The following night, we went out for Chicago-style pizza [deep dish!] with a group of friends. I think I’ve eaten more pizza in the last week than I have in several months’ time.
MoA #3: Funtastic and sunny weekend – checking out Lake Chabot with RV, dinner at a friend’s house, April Mistakes birthday party, street fairs, stopping in at a softball game+BBQ.
MoA #4: My blogalicious self was picked to receive an advance copy of Zappos.com CEO Tony Hsieh’s Delivering Happiness. It comes out June 7th! The book arrived this past week, and I have an extra copy to give out. If you know someone who may want the book, please let them know about the giveaway. Here’s how to enter:
1) Leave a comment with an awesome moment from your past week.
2) Be sure to include #DHBook somewhere in the comment, so I know it’s an entry for the contest!Easy, right? I will pick a winner at random on April 30th, which also coincides with when Tony will be making an appearance in SF for a #DeliveringHappiness Happy Hour! I wonder if it’ll be at the SF Giants Tweet-Up!?
Update: Random.Org has picked the #3, so the winner of this giveaway is Jennifer. Congrats! :)

MOA: My moment of awesomeness was having a blast at my brother in law's wedding. The bride and groom got so drunk that they were both laying on the dance floor at one point. And it was the first time that I attended a wedding and was NOT in the the running to catch the bouquet!
Pizza!! My favorite food! Sometimes I think I could eat it almost everyday… I only had Chicago deep dish once (when I visited Chicago years ago) and it was good but a bit overwhelming. SO THICK!
#DHBook: My moment of awesomeness was unpacking most of my apartment all by my lonesome this week and buying some kick ass new furniture (it's from Ikea but still awesome)! I am so excited to have a new place since my old one really sucked and had cockroaches, mice and was right beside a hospital. So many sirens!
Random.org picked #3. Congrats! :)
Yayy thank you so much! :) I just emailed you!
I just had another one of these at the office. Still meh, but even less so because it hadn't just come from the oven :p
