Being Negative

If you ask a negative question --- you will get a negative answer.

So be positive...it's just easier in the long run.

New Year's Resolutions

2009 Resolutions

1. Be nice to telemarketers. I think it was on a Seinfeld episode that Jerry said to a telemarketer "Give me your home number and I will call you back when it's convenient for me to talk." I thought it was so funny that I used that line several times when I got called during dinner. But this year, I'm going to be kinder. These people are usually low paid, hard-working, just doing their job. I can imagine that the majority of people they call --- are not nice. (Side note: Be nice to all people in the service industry.)


2. Listen more carefully when my husband is talking. Be fully present.


3. Be healthier--- stop over indulging in food and drink.


4. Have more fun.


5. Wear a bikini. (Just kidding---this is ridiculous!)

The High Cost of Living

You know what really makes me mad?

It's not the price of a new car, or quality clothes...

It's not my heating or electric bill...

It's not the price of gasoline (but this does make me sad), or groceries...

It's the price of toilet paper that really pisses me off!

Guests for the Holidays

A good reason to invite friends over for the holidays

is that it forces you to really clean the house

The only problem is that it doesn't give you enough time to clean yourself

Good Shoes

Expensive shoes can hurt your feet
as well as cheap shoes,

but they last longer...
