Um, I don’t even know what to say about this display? Is it a “Whose Got The Coolest Knickknack” Contest? And why do half of the entries have a blue ribbon. I thought only one entry won the blue ribbon? Maybe fair contests are like little kid contests where everybody wins?

If you have not heard NPR’s Story Corps yet you are missing out.  Basically NPR traveled throughout the country stopping in cities and towns everywhere inviting people to come in and record their stories in their mobile recording studio.  I really wish they would have done it a year or so earlier because I would [...]

Here’s a tip (and a huge generalization). If you are at a Farmer’s Market and there happens to be a stand with Mennonite women selling pies, BUY TWO. If anyone has pie-making down, it is the Mennonites, at least in our community. Maybe instead of serving coffee and donuts after church they serve pie and tea…or maybe pie making is something they teach women in the Mennonite version of Sunday school…or maybe I should just be quiet since I really know nothing about the Mennonite religion and my only exposure to Mennonites has been at the pie stand and once when driving to McCall and the driver of a minivan fell asleep and drove off the road in front of us. We stopped to make sure everyone was okay and all of the passengers in the van were wearing the little hats on their head which led me to believe they were Mennonites. Yes, I should definitely be quiet.

I wondered if the bugs were on red alert and there was some sort of alarm going off at a decibel only they can hear warning one another to evacuate. I was taking their weed habitat like the miners tried to take Hometree in the movie Avatar. What an awful person I was to weed my garden!

Being that it’s a Monday morning after a jam-packed weekend that left us exhausted and wanting more, I thought it might be appropriate to visit the topic of what motivates us. This is very applicable to a work-environment but applies to everything in our lives. Here’s a hint, it’s probably not what you think it is.

I love that even though I am not incredibly sentimental, I am not all that into music and I am not even a big fan of the romance movie genre, this song just totally does it for me. It takes me to some sentimental place and makes me happy.

But I still vow to NE-V-ER own a minivan.

There is just something about a flash mob that is so intriguing.  I find myself scanning the crowd trying to figure out who is going to jump in next to be a part of the massive choreography undertaking.  After my wasted time tonight, I have to admit I have a huge fascination with flash mobs and if you are ever looking to put one together, I would very much like to be a part of it.

I won’t give away too much since many of the ladies out there may want to see it, but all and all, (for me) it was entertaining and fun. I usually get bored during movies over an hour and a half long and this movie kept me entertained for well over two hours. And yes it was long and should have been edited a bit more, but I look at it like a good haircut in China, more entertainment for your money.

The deeper the hole, the better the wine. It is probably not an absolute scale though as the wine I am drinking at the moment is quite good and it’s hole wasn’t very deep.
