Is the work week over yet? I have been swamped at work this week- last minute grants to get in, proofread another one, letters to get out to donors, events to plan, 10th anniversary planning, and the list goes on and on. The good news is that two of my bestest girls are in town for the weekend- Taff and Katie! Two of my orginial 9 Felix girls! What is sure to be a great crazy weekend, will also leave no time to catch up on rest, but will be well worth the time catching up with friends!

pet Peeve of the day

There is nothing that bothers me more than when I go into our staff kitchen at work and the coffee pot is empty! Rude coffee drinks. I mean, seriously, if you notice that it's empty, or you take the last cup, all you have to do is start another pot. It's not that difficult and you can't claim that you didn't notice or you didn't know if anyone else would drink some. Um, it's 9 AM- you know there are a lot more cups to go before the day is over!

Happy 123456789 Day!

In just a few minutes, the time will be 12:34:56 and the date will be 07/08/09.* This is only going to happen once so we figure it's news worthy enough to make the site on a slow Friday.So, what are/were you doing when the clocks read 123456789? Let us know in the comments section below! If you missed it, well, don't worry, you didn't miss much. Just the time really. (pretty cool, huh?)

This is an awesome concept and something we should all do. I am guilty of buying online because of simplicity or going to big chain stores because of the abundance of choices, but at the end of the day, we need to support our communities.

it's the little things....

You know it's a good day when... I was staring at the vending machine, debating whether I really want the candy, even though I knew it will add another 20 minutes worth of pain in the gym. I was literally pacing back in forth changing my mind every two seconds. My coworker walked by and asked what I was doing so I told her my dilemma. She replied to screw it and pick which one i really wanted. So, I put in my 75 cents and picked Starburst, all time favorite (plus I thought fruit is a food group as opposed to chocolate, so it had to be better than the Twix looking at me). Well, I must have made a good decision, because not only did they drop down, but TWO packages fell! I promptly took them to my coworker with the good advice. Those 20 extra minutes will be well worth it 'cause I ate every single one!

Today is my parents' 36th Wedding Anniversary- crazy, huh? I am so proud, honored and humbled to call them my parents. What blessings and wonderful inspirations that continue to be, day after day. I hope someday I can claim the same great milestone. happy anniversary!
