1. The last time I lost my temper I had to walk around the block so I did not take it out in an unprofessional manner!
2. People not giving a $hit is what I'm fed up with!
3. The next book I'd like to read is either Predictably Irrational or Water for Elephants.
4. My future is what I'm looking forward to.
5. If you can't get rid of the skeleton[s] in your closet, make peace with them and move on! 6. The best thing I got in the mail recently was two summery tops from JJill

Thursday Thirteen - I Think...

 

 

 

Thirteen Things I Think (watch out)
  1. I think that if you do not get any emails in a 2 hours span at work that should be a sign that you can go home for the day.
  2. I think that an English major should never be left alone with Java code…trust me it is dangerous..for that matter CSS code is a bad idea too.
  3. I think that no matter what everyone should be able to get 8 hours of sleep a night
  4. …and 3 full meals a day
  5. I think that a mandatory day at the spa should be instituted for every woman twice a year once in the spring and once in the fall.
  6. I think that tampons and birth control should be subsidized by the government.
  7. I think that Bush should just stop being President now.
  8. I think that everyone should get July or August off; and that it should switch yearly to be fair.
  9. I think that it should cost A LOT less to adopt a child who is living in an orphanage already. Like it should be FREE except for the cost of travel.
  10. I think everyone should be sent to their room for a nap at least once a day
  11. I think that no one should have to deal with a serious illness or disease more than once in their life
  12. I SERIOUSLY think that we should go to a 4 day work week
  13. I think that if 10 people read this I will be lucky!
I think that if you do not get any emails in a 2 hours span at work that should be a sign that you can go home for the day.

Scratch, Cough, Hack

I hate waking up with a sore throat. I was kind of ignoring the fact that I felt off kilter last night. I went to bed a bit early and was hoping to sleep off whatever was making me feel out of wack but woke up with a full-fledged sore throat. No white spots though so that's good. Adam was sick last week so it isn't entirely surprise to me that I am feeling under the weather. At least I know he felt better within a few days after it cycled from scratchy throat, to stuffy nose, to cough and then wa-la gone.

Things have been a little slow for me at work right now, they will pick up again soon, they always do. Still, I did not want to call in sick so here I am. Two meetings on the calendar for this afternoon. I just hope the day goes by quickly.

I have seen the initial design (the banner) for the new Smoochdog and I LOVE IT. Heather really does such an amazing job! I can't wait to launch the new and improved Smoochdog. I will keep you all posted. What I have not decided yet is if I want to port over the blog entries from here to the new Smoochdog. I would do it manually and I would only transport over the important entries (skipping the memes and silly posts). There are not that many posts here so I just might do it a little at a time over a month or so.

Out on A Limb with Everyday Kindness

Claudia from the blog Out on a Limb also has another blog called Everyday Kindness. It is on Everyday Kindness that she has started first thinking about acts of kindness for herself and then got a group of readers who also wanted to join in participating in acts of kindness. After reading her blogs I too decided I wanted to make this commitment. Specifically, the commitment is to try and perform at least one act of kindness toward another every day. I would like to think that I am generally kind to others. I hold doors, I say please and thank you, I let people cross the street, pick things up when other drop them, etc. but I want to do more. I want to challenge myself to do at least one extra act of kindness each day.

I mean really, what will it take? A few moments perhaps. Maybe an hour if I am doing something significant like offering to drive someone to the airport (a common request with my family)

I have asked Claudia what I need to do to make it "official" and sign up to be on her Kindness blogroll. Won't you check out her blog and think of joining too?
