Protestant Work Ethic, My Ass
I just overheard Alice talking to my mom on the phone, telling her about her day at school. Her school uses the 7 habits of highly effective people (seriously) as kind of an outline for teaching the kids responsibility, leadership, etc. Today they were talking about "beginning with the end in mind"--in other words planning your shit out. They read ( Read more... ) -
New Job
I have a new job at AAA. I applied almost on a lark for a marketing project coordinator position and yesterday they called and made the official offer.

Little Girls
Alice lost her first tooth this week. One more step on the road to being a big girl. We did the whole tooth fairy thing. I made a few comments letting her know that it was pretend, but she resolutely ignored me. You could tell she knew it was pretend and liked pretending. I'm okay with that. Check out the gap toothed grin (and her self-picture ( Read more... ) -
I need this for AdRock
Proving that you truly can buy anything on Amazon.com.
For $80 they give you a kit you use to swab the inside of your dog's mouth then mail in the sample and they'll send you a DNA report telling what kind of dog you've got. It's idiotic, but people ask me all the time what kind of dog AdRock is and I don't know any more than what it said on the ( Read more... )
