MY LEARNINGS...

1. Blogging is way more difficult when you don't have a personal computer.
2. A super slow (dial-up age) computer might as well be a paper weight.
3. Strangely enough, adults love balloons.
4. As soon as you swear off coats for the year it snows.
5. Sometimes  no matter how much you plan you still miss the point.
6.  You never realize how important company is until its gone.
7. When a shirt says "Do not dry" it means it.
8. It is impossible to "Suck it in" all day (See #7).
9. Sometimes it is worth the $3 dollars to let professionals clean your dress shirts
    (see # 7&8)
10. No amount of running makes up for an all you can eat buffet.

HEAVE HO

Because it was raining when I got up, and I knew there was no way I was going to park close to my office, I opted for a bit more casual look today...dress pants (not slacks) and a pullover sweater-ish top, and brown dress shoes.  (I typically wear dress slacks and a button down.  Yes, I would put these clothes a little bit higher on the dressy list, but not by much.)  Mind you, I've never claimed to be super fashionable, but I thought I looked OK.  I was wrong.  The first thing one co-worker said to me was, "Are you planning on moving furniture today?  You're soooo casual".  What do you say to that??? 

It's like when people tell  me, "Whoa, you've got a lot of gray hair" or "You've gotten so much grayer since the last time I saw you".  No shit. You don't think I look in the mirror?  Plus, since I've been getting gray hair since high school, you're not exactly letting me in on a secret.  My new reply is, You gotten so______ enter [fat, ugly, many more wrinkles, etc].
