This morning over coffee I was reading In Touch and watching Obama on CNN. My friends, that is what is called Multi-Tasking. Getting all of my news at once!
I totally have a new favorite holiday! May 13, 2008
My friend Jenny (yes, of Jenny and the Dustholes) just informed me that today is World Cocktail Day! I did a little research and as I understand it, it is a holiday which is at the end of World Cocktail Week (a whole week of celebrating the cocktail!!!!) to rejoyce in the genius of the bartenders and beverage artists who get us lit as needed.
I’ve always thought holidays should be celebrated on more than one day. For instance, I celebrate my birthday for a whole week. Apparently the cocktail and I each deserve a whole week!
So sometime today take an hour, or 5 minutes if you chug your drinks, and relax with a nice cocktail and think of all of the great things the cocktail has done for you!
I have the mind of a 12 year old boy April 15, 2008
A few weekends ago when B and I went shopping for his “leggings,” we went to the newly opened Dick’s Sporting Goods store. It just opened a few weeks ago, and it is huge! It is quite a fantastic place. B and I had a lot of fun there. The gentleman that helped us, told us that Dick’s is the 2nd largest sporting goods store in the nation, and the particular store we were at is the first on the west coast. In that case…welcome to Oregon, Dick’s!
As B and I were approaching Dick’s from the parking lot I started laughing hysterically. There were tears in my eyes, I had to cover my mouth because I’m sure I looked rediculous. And I felt rediculous, because of the immature-ness of what was making me have this giggle fit. But seriously, I am sure I am not the only person who has laughed at this. Outside of this giant store that says “Dick’s” all over it, there are giant cement balls affixed to the ground at the base of the store. Just the image of this giant Dick’s stretching into the air, with giant balls affixed to the bottom of it makes me laugh now.
Thankfully B has the mind of a 12 year old boy, too! We laughed about it for a good 15 minutes!
Madness, I tell you! Madness! April 8, 2008
What a crazy day. A crazy Monday. Why is it that Mondays are so, terribly insane? I really don’t understand why this one particular day of the week gets a whole weeks worth of madness thrown into it.
I have about 15 projects on my plate, one of which is a huge scheduling project. Which is actually really fun, but kind of overwhelming at the same time. I like the challenge in it. Anyhow…I figured it all out and started typing out my report on how it was going to work. Only to realize that I already had a draft of the report saved, and all I had to do was update the original draft. If today wasn’t Monday…I would have so been on top of that.
So…because of all of the Monday Madness, I thought I would share something funny with you. You may have already seen it, but it is still funny. I have seen it probably close to 20 times now and it always makes me giggle.

SO SO FUNNY! Where was this when C was a baby? I think that I could have saved us both a lot of trips to the emergency room if I would have had this handy chart around!
Enjoy!
