April 4: "Beanswax Over the Moon" Yankee Candle and Notepad

Given to Kandyce from Carol.

Fine print: And don't forget to call your mother

Last year, the organization I work for was holding an event at the place where Kandyce works. Very nice and comfortable facility. It was my first time there and I was getting a tour of the place; at this time, we did not know each other. As I was being led around the facility, I noticed something sparkling in the ballroom carpeting. I bent down and picked up a nice-sized diamond that came out of someone's earring or ring. I gave it to the person who was showing me around in the faint hope that someone would claim it.

Since that time, I have bent down when noticing anything sparkling in carpet. 97% of the time, it's glitter. The other 3% of the time, it's change. 100% of the time, it's not worth me bending down.

-Profession: Assistant Catering Manager

-Favorite # of rings before answering your phone: 0. I keep my phone on silent, so it doesn't ring. I miss a ton of calls. My husband calls maybe 5 or 6 times and then I call him back.

-urbandictionary.com says Kandyce is "the kind of person who rides a unicorn into the sunset". Any truth in there for you?: Riding a unicorn is kind of hippie-like. And my sisters called me a hippie. So yeah.

-Some people talk about putting the "fun" into 'funeral' or 'fundraising'. How can you put the "hospital" in 'hospitality'?: I'd knock people out so they could get into a bed. Maybe throw in a complimentary ice pack.

-Who's your absolute favorite tap dancer of all-time?: Gene Kelly. There's this scene he does from An American in Paris that I absolutely love. I tried it once, but I don't think I'll ever attempt it again.
