cup sleeve this!

history shows that I like it when my food or drink has something to say. or at least when the packaging does. be it taco bell sauces, the way I see it on my coffee cup, or the wine cork from a few weeks back (that i lost before i could post), i just like it.

well, the green and orange “tea time” cup sleeves at starbucks have something to say and i don’t really like either of them.

the green one says “your next ‘action item’: do as little as possible.”
i have enough trouble as it is mustering up the dersire to be productive; i don’t need my coffee encouraging such anti-ant behavior. i don’t know why it bothered me so much the first time i read this but it did.
(ps-thanks for so diligently reading in the midst of your workday )

the orange sleeve, the one that prompted this post (which has been nearly finished for weeks), says

f-f-f-friday 5

earlier in the week, as i was planning out my life, i realized that today was teacher in-service and that my kids would not be in school to participate in this week’s friday 5.  “no prob,” i thought to myself.  “i’ll just have to take their questions early.”  well, as happens to the best laid plans, it didn’t happen.  i thought of it almost everyday just never at the right time and it wasn’t until i hugged all my kiddos goodbye that i realized what had happened.

letting cory down was not an option so i had to be a little resourceful.
with the last two questions coming in this morning, this is the email i sent cory as was scribed on a note on my iPod cause the thing is that cool.

gettin’ it done

so, here i am on christmas eve cause i told cory and, inadvertently, all of you, that i would post pictures of dmitri before christmas.  i’ve got an hour and 45 minutes to get that finished and i’m thinking i’ll make it.
you never know though…things like chatting online and talking to joy often get me distracted.

plus, i’ve got another little thing to distract me tonight.
=)

taking care of jack

today, at 3:30, i was a good car owner.

today, as this was supposed to post, i got to experience another first.

today……….i took jack to the dealership to have his first oil change and check-up.

if you know me, you know

soon-to-be mine

when my mom asked me what i wanted for christmas, there was no delay in my response.
the desire’s been building for a long, long time.
and now fulfillment is within sight.

no, no…it’s not an iPhone.  let’s not get crazy.

it is, however, the next best thing…
