• if you take a long time to get ready in the bathroom while other people are waiting for you, you damn well better come out looking Bo-Derek-hot. That's why I always get ready fast...less pressure.

 

• "mom, were you a redhead when dad married you?" "no, why?" "because those are the kinds of girls guys like to marry." "I guess that's why we're divorced."

• Suddenly I hate both of these words: Beets & Quiver. I had no idea I felt this way until I saw them in a sentence together today.

 

• I know there HAS to be some link between life attitudes and people who always back into parking spaces. Everyone I know who backs in seems more hardcore/badass than my forward parking friends. I think I’m going to do a study.

• I will always eat the caddywampus pancake if it means my son will keep experimenting in the kitchen

 

• Occasionally my Windows Media Player tosses in a winter holiday tune in July and nobody knows that, for roughly 2.3 minutes, I’m imagining window shopping downtown . It’s my little work day secret.

• Today's Life Lesson from our home: a friendly game of tie-your-brother-to-the-tree can turn ugly real quick (and reveal true character) when the sprinklers come on.

• I’m thankful for my job, but today’s workload feels like I’m scooping sand right at the lake’s edge ~ every lick of the tide puts me right back where I started
