T-Shirt Meeting

June 16, 2011 by Julie 51 Comments

What an exciting morning!

A little after 10 a.m., I drove to the Real Thread company office and production facility to meet with my good friend Dru. (You may see my recap of his recent wedding here.) Dru owns the t-shirt company and we previously spoke about collaborating to make some awesome PBF t-shirts.

real thread 001

I set up a meeting with Dru because I feel a little lost when it comes to ordering and designing shirts and I wasn’t really comfortable with the online t-shirt options I saw when I did some personal research, as the costs appear expensive, especially if you want high-quality shirts with more than one color ink.

Dru is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to t-shirt printing and design and I left our meeting feeling excited and motivated to get things going! Stay tuned for some color and slogan options. I definitely want your input.

I have many different slogan ideas and am thinking I may end up wearing one PBF t-shirt for each day of the week. My blogging uniform!

Lunch

After my meeting with Dru, I had to take my car in for service because it was part of a recall. Fortunately the service center has wireless internet, so I’m blogging away while waiting for the work on my car to be completed. (Remember when I was here last time and was practically salivating over the Tory Burch flats? Yeah, I never got those. Too darn expensive.)

Fortunately the service center had some tasty looking lunch options for those waiting and I took advantage of the free food and nabbed a turkey wrap with some kind of cream cheese spread inside.

real thread 003

I also enjoyed two pickles, an oatmeal raisin cookie and about 3/4 of a Nature’s Valley sweet and salty peanut bar.

real thread 002

Pretty sweet lunch for a car service center, huh? I was impressed!

I think my car should be just about done, so I’m off to check on the status. See ya for dinner!

P.S. Who knew I had so many Sheboygan readers!? You guys should form a little club and make peanut butter and squeaky cheese sandwiches. Or, you know, something that actually tastes good.

Be sure to follow PBFingers on Instagram and Facebook!

I'd love to connect with you! I am always so grateful when you let me know you tried one of my recipes or workouts and tag me in your photos or updates. Thank you so much!!!

    Oh my goodness that is an amazing car service?! Holy smokes I wish my car place offered food! they do offer free wi-fi though, so I can’t complain.
    And how cool that you’re doing t-shirts. I bet they’ll look great and have PB containers all over them 🙂

    Yay for the t-shirts! I am excited to hear more about them and will def rock one 🙂 You should order one in a kids size for Sadie to show off at the dog park… I bet all the other dogs would be jealous!

    And that’s quite the amazing selection of food for a car service place! Was it special because of the recall or is it that way all the time?!

    Lucky girl! The place I take (well, use to take my car before I lived in NYC) would only have donut holes. You can’t make a lunch out of that, or I should say, shouldn’t. I could definitely make a lunch out of it haha
