  • Gold Stars All Around

    We’re folks who operate on our own timetable. That means we DVR nearly everything and catch up on our favorite shows when we have time. So last night we finally sat down to watch Sunday’s premiere of Undercover Boss. Wow! Fantastic reality show – for now anyway. Until it gets old and tired (like The […]

  • Do You Know What I Mean?

    Have you ever gone through a period of time (maybe short, maybe long) where you felt like this? I have!! Then at some point you wake up and wonder why you’ve accepted Worm Status for so long. (Plus your friends wonder why you keep posting “I am a worm” on your Facebook status updates!) So […]

  • *Gasp!!!*

    That’s just me, coming up for air, from what has been an entirely too busy and too drama-filled week.

It wasn’t long before we embarked on The Great Search for the perfect rosettes to make birdseed bags. We thought it would be simple to find the size and color we needed. HAH! A not-so-small […]

  • Mmmm-Hmmmm #2

    I’m not usually one to make snarky posts, but today I couldn’t help it. Spotted in the office breakroom: Encouraging thoughtfulness? Helpfulness? Yes. And yes. But also ironic. Why? You ask? Because the creator of the sign (not me…no really, not me) is also the same person that poured out a newly-brewed full pot of […]

  • Thinking Deep Thoughts

    Since I have nothing better to do because of my Bum Leg (as in, I’m Bummed that my leg hurts!!), I’m filling my time pondering Deep Thoughts. I follow Seth Godin’s blog. He’s a marketing genius, delivering a fresh perspective to my inbox every day. Over the weekend, he addressed the rise of incivility in […]
