Take Note of Life

I am an informational and observational junkie who collects everything—facts, tips, trivia, recipes, directions, books, websites, songs, lyrics, blog ideas, names for pets, dreams I’ve had, movies I need to see. You name it and I’ll collect it, which is why I can never be without my memo pad and why I’m so happy to be talking about today’s featured item: the Icon Press Up Memo/Tap Flag Dispenser. First off, let me tell you that this pop-up pad is geared for the memo-hungry professional. It includes an accordion-style mini notepad and tape flags in five colors and, of course, it pops open with the press of a button, which makes it compact and ideal for business travel. And all the while, it draws attention to your logo or message.

Now, the best thing about a memo is it makes you sit up and take note of the world around you, forcing you to observe the many oddities of life. In fact, here are a few of the tidbits I’ve found in just the last week:

4,000 people each year are hurt by teapots
Benjamin Franklin invented the rocking chair. Coca Cola was originally green My Barber’s phone number is 755-2346 The plain Buddy Holly died on was called “The American Pie” Most toilets flush in E-Flat In space, astronauts can’t cry because there is no gravity, so the tears won’t flow Bears +15 against the Colts is a lock

My advice to you: take notice of the world around you. And when something interesting pops up, be ready…ready with the Icon Press Up Memo/Tap Flag Dispenser.

In fact, I’m so excited that I’m giving a few of these away for trick or treaters tomorrow. I can already imagine the line at the door when the word gets out. Until next time, take notice of life and life will take notice of you.
