Lulu… Mon?

January 14, 2011 by Julie 125 Comments

Today we had an office pizza party!

The moment the smell of the buttery garlic knots hit my nostrils, I was out of my seat and in line for some of the good stuff.

Garlic Knot

This garlic knot was doughy, salty and bursting with the flavor of garlic. I loved unraveling the knot as I ate. Playing with food is fun!

I also nabbed a super-cheesy slice of veggie pizza which I polished off in no time.

Veggies 'n' Cheese

It was loaded with cheese and tasted fantastic.

For some reason (the salt, perhaps?), this lunch made me super thirsty. I chugged an entire 24-ounce tervis tumbler full of water without even realizing it.

Drink Up, Buttercup!

I’m a fish!

I actually got up to get another slice of pizza, but it was all gone. I work with a bunch of eating machines!

Lululemon: What’s in a Name?

During the office pizza party, I was talking with some of my coworkers when somehow the conversation turned to clothes (shocking for a group of women, no?) and lululemon.

lululemon

Before lululemon became so mainstream, I always thought you pronounced the company’s name like lulumon. I threw in a Jamacian accent for good measure. 😉

Well, apparently three of my coworkers thought the same thing! I think all of the l’s confused us and we changed the spelling in our minds.

It wasn’t until my friend Leah said the company’s name aloud that I realized it wasn’t lulumon, but lululemon…

Lemon!

Like the fruit!

Did any of you guys ever think lululemon was lulumon at one point, or were you just born way cooler than us and always knew the real way to say it? If three people in one office were confused, there must be others out there!

And, on another note, can you believe I’ve never even been in a lululemon store before? I’m told this must change immediately.

Back to work for a few more hours before playtime begins!

    Yes, I said lulumon up until 6 months ago! I felt like a dummy!

    LOL… I loved reading this! I very often pronounce things wrong so its nice to see I’m not in the boat alone. As for lulu, I didn’t think it was Lulumon but I did think it was 2 separate words, like it was created by someone named Lulu Lemon…maybe related to Liz Lemon on 30 Rock 😛

    Lululemon is an absolute fanatical craze here in Ontario. It seems liek absolutely every teen girl is wearing it or begging her parents for it.
    The pants are awesome-but I don’t know about spending $108CDN on a pair of yoga pants!

    While I knew it was Lululemon, I always like to pronounce it with a French accent…

    lulu-LUH-MAHN

    I know this is an old post but it was under “you might also like” and when I saw the word lululemon I had to have a peak. We don’t have the store in Ireland or anywhere in Europe as far as I know… Visited when I was in Vancouver and loved it. It will always be “lulumon” in my mind! 🙂

    Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective.
    A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and appearance. I must say that you’ve done a amazing job with this.

    Also, the blog loads very fast for me on Safari.

    Excellent Blog!

    You can also get a black leather shoulder bag,
    which come in styles for both men and women. So while selecting leather bag
    for travelling purpose, you should look for
    a bag that is large enough to accommodate all your clothes and other things comfortably.
    Some people indeed want to enjoy a few days in the year in some solitary island that is equipped with unexpected things in every step
    they take in the location.
