My logo will represent my company well

In my new company logo, I would make sure that it had primary colors and simple lines. Clean, crisp, and simple. I wouldn't want a potential customer to think that my company wasn't creative but rather that we are more focused on what we can do for you rather than worrying about how exciting and busy our logo was/is. My logo would inspire trust in simplicity and delivery.

My money's on the pack of squirrels

Strength in numbers! Squirrels are amazingly agile and quick. I think that in a face-off a pack of squirrels could do some real damage to one lonely peacock no matter how large his feather are.

I miss my youth

I miss being a kid. When I was a kid, I wished I could be a grown up and get to do exciting and fun stuff. I hated that I had to go to bed early and couldn't watch certain TV shows or movies but I loved getting to go outside and play or ride my bike and just hang out with my friends. I miss not having to worry about bills, cooking, cleaning, driving, responsibility, and working. I guess instead of missing my youth, I really just miss the feeling of no responsibility. Yes, the expectations my parents had on me to make good grades and good decisions were stressful but they weren't my focus.

As an adult your focus becomes being a productive member of society, being honest, and taking care of yourself. There are many more people depending on me now - and I don't even have kids or a family. Instead, I'm a role model for my nieces and nephews and other friends' children. I'm a success (or embarrassment as the case may be) to my parents, friends and extended family.

The older I get, the truer the statement "Youth is wasted on the young" becomes. The sad thing is - I'm not that old...

Tylenol will help a headache


It depends on the type of headache I have. I mostly am able to get rid of regular headaches with good 'ol Tylenol but when I get migraines the only cure is sleep, darkness and a cold wet washcloth on my neck while I'm going to sleep. One of the things I'm working on now is to try to cut off the headaches before they start. I regularly get headaches from grinding my teeth or clenching my jaw, so I'm trying to be more aware of when I'm doing that and find other ways to deal with my stress and frustration. So far, it is REALLY difficult!

It'll be different this year

This year, my plan is to let go of more. I tend to stress out about things that I have absolutely no control over and it turns me into a bad mood or frustrates me, not to mention the adverse affects on my health. There are lots of things in this world that make me angry: traffic, people, the ramifications of my past decisions... the thing that I'm working on keeping in mind this year is that I can't worry about those things becasue I can't contol them. This year, I'm going to worry about controlling my actions and reactions and the rest is not important.

Guess we'll see how it works out!

I can't say 'no' to Mexican Food


I have the most difficult time saying no to Mexican food. It is my FAVORITE type of food, and probably the most fattening on the planet (which is probably WHY I love it so much).

A good breakfast better include Bacon

Bacon
Everything is better with BACON!

Eggs
Actually, I prefer egg beaters. Eggs are just yummy, with salsa and cheese or perhaps in an omelet.

Hash Browns
Potatoes are the best!

Cheese Grits
For those of you who don't know what grits are: Grits are basically coarsely ground corn. You would mainly find grits in the south and are an excellent alternative to oatmeal. Whereas you'd sweeten oatmeal you spice up grits. In addition to a great breakfast food, they have recently began popping up on dinner plates with fancy cheeses, peppers, to shrimp. Simply Delicious!

My flip flops are my favorite shoes

flip flops
I love the "free" feeling of flip flops. They are comfy and always remind me of summer. I am one of those crazy people that wear them regardless of the weather. It could be 10 below and I'm bundled up with flip flops on - I just can't help it. My toes like to be free to wiggle!

I stay warm with my gas fireplace


I stay warm curled up on the sofa with a fire going underneath a comforter or heavy blanket. I absolutely hate the cold!

Summertime, I'm ready for you to come back quick!!!
