Quote of the day

Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.
 
Thomas Jefferson

I love Bob

Song lyrics of the day

Through the storm, we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live with or without you
 
-"With or without you"  U2

For the whipper snappers

Almost there

I just registered for my final class in my MBA program, Business Strategy.  WOO HOO!  There's an end in sight!

Oh yes, this is happening

I just completed my registration for my first half marathon.  Granted, it's not until NEXT April, but that should give me PLENTY of time to get ready.  I feel great right about now...

Wash the damn spoon

Song lyrics of the day

When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look

Oh baby, give me one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
Yes I do now
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
(I want you back)
Na na na na

-"I want you back" Jackson 5

Imprompu Beach days...

...are my favorite!

And I'm so thankful my children love the beach as much as I do.  We couldn't get Tyler to leave!

Added bonus?  Running into one of my best friends from college.  So happy to see you Nicole!

Bacon is a serious matter

I have come across some funny things while researching marketing things for my MBA.  But THIS has to be the funniest thing yet.  (A real post on the Proctor and Gamble Facebook page after their Bacon Scope prank in April):

Marc Spera:
Well, since you posted the ad well before April 1st, it makes it a lie, not an April Fool. It was deceptive. I'll never buy another Proctor and Gamble product again. You shouldn't mess with people's love of bacon. Bacon is a serious matter.

Thank you Derek!

THIS made my day!

Song lyrics of the day

Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you crazy
If you let it
9 to 5, yeah
They got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it, don't you
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Puttin' money in his wallet

-"9 to 5" Dolly Parton


*I may or may not have sang this one while dancing around my office today.*

I made it halfway through

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is a LONG book.  I only made it halfway through before my next class started.  Sigh...  I'm not looking forward to waiting until September to finish it!

Yep.

I am living my own private "Office Space" hell this week.  In light of that...
