Skyping at Work

We have been using Skype at work so Joanna, who is still in the hospital, can conduct and be involved in our staff meetings. Last week we Skyped without the video camera (Joanna had a bad hair day:), but this week was much nicer in that we were all able to see each other.

Don't You Hate it When That Happens?

Don't you hate it when you're just driving along and a big semi comes up along side of you and throws you a ROCK?

Blueberries

I love blueberries.

Demotivators 2010 Calendar

Every year I pick out twelve pictures and quotes from the http://www.despair.com catalog for the office. It's probably the only confirmation email that I enjoy receiving. This company could "spam" me every day and I would laugh right out loud.

Here's their motto: AT DESPAIR, INC., we believe motivational products create unrealistic expectations, raising hopes only to dash them. That's why we created our soul-crushingly depressing Demotivators® designs, so you can skip the delusions that motivational products induce and head straight for the disappointments that follow!

The Yearbook and Facebook

The other day I received a friend request in facebook.  The trouble was, I didn't remember him. I noticed that we had two fb friends in common from high school, so I pulled out my yearbook. I don't think I've looked at my yearbook since I graduated.

It was fun to read friend comments and look back at "old" photos.

From the green Scottish hills

Where the proud pipers play

To the Great Salt Lake and the Wasatch

There's no better clan,

Nor will there ever be,

Than the friendly, fighting Scots of Ben Lomond.

We're proud of Ben Lomond

And all that she stands for,

And though o'er the earth we may wander

A part of our heart will always yearn to be

In the mem'ry hallowed halls of Ben Lomond.

Galoshes

Galoshes is not a word used much anymore. As a child I wore rubber boots similar to these.

"Princess" Hazel's Birthday

Today is Hazel's second birthday - hard to believe. She loves princesses, dolls, dressing up, make-up, Tinkerbell and shoes. I found a darling netted dress-up skirt for her and some fun magnet "paper" dolls.
