Happy Birthday Janet


I love you!!!! This was taken at the opening of Alexander McQueen's new boutique in LA.

Oil hits $127.00

I have a question for people who drive. How high will gas have to be before you stop driving these big useless trucks and SUV's?

$8, $9, $10 a gallon?

Devastating Photo



My mouth dropped when I saw this. How terrible. My heart goes out to the men, women and children of China.

Danny Wood and The New Kids are back

How did I miss this? The New Kids(men) performed on the Today Show In the rain and the cold. Here's a snippet from the Today Show performance.

Happy Friday


About all I have time for these days is work and sleep. I haven't even been able to get my thoughts together for this blog or other things.

I've noticed a few things this week though

  • People love Fridays
  • People are doing the best they can
  • I need a massage
I have to admit I love Friday's too. This morning I was talking to a coworker about our plans for the weekend and I thought she said, "I can't wait until next Friday". I laughed and said, "She needed another job." She actually said, "I'm glad it's Friday". I was joking, but it's true. All you hear during the week is, "I can't wait until Friday". Here are some of my week's observations...

  • Monday people are miserable, cranky and chat with people about the weekend.
  • Tuesday people start to do work and have meetings.
  • Wednesday people are in better spirits because it's "hump day"
  • Thursday people are solidifying plans for weekend and going out that night.
  • Friday is here! No work past lunch!!! Will probably leave early.

Seems like the days we covet are the days when we get to do whatever it is we should. I actually think we should have four day workweeks! How much work do people really get done on Friday. People's minds are into their weekend by Thursday.

People are doing the best they can relative to their experience. I find that mantra brings me back to "center". Instead of judging people, I find peace with seeing them "where they are".

Have a great weekend!

Have you heard that...



We all have heard rumors about people or things. Rumors that someone is dating so and so or pregnant with so and so's baby. We even hear rumors about products that are coming out. Like shoes or the hot bag.

When it comes to technology, things change very rapidly which leads me to this statement...

YOU WILL NEVER HAVE THE MOST CURRENT TECHNOLOGY.

Things change too rapidly for that to happen. When something new comes out, go to the store, check it out, buy it if you must, but more than likely you won't need to. Enjoy what you have until you need to get something else. More than likely if you buy when you need to you'll get something that meets your needs not a tech geek.

3G do you know even know what that is? If you have to check Wikipedia or reference any informational source, you don't need the technology. Imagine having a Hummer SUV to go a few blocks everyday. Overkill!!!

To answer the title of this post, I have to say...NO!!!
