Spring Fever...in the Fall?

Is it possible to get Spring Fever in the Fall??? It has been so beautiful outside this week that I am finding it hard to remain in doors and focused!

I had a fabulous lunch outside today at Chuy's where there was much laughing and enjoying of the delicious creamy jalapeño dip. The weather was gorgeous and just begging me to stay outside ...but I had to go back to work.  It was a sad realization.

I just want to go play outside...almost time for Happy Hour!

Really Kirk Cameron?

Kirk Cameron is going to save America by returning us to our Christian Roots.

Really Kirk? I liked Mike Seaver better.

This article annoys me. 

In all fairness things may be taken out of context…and yes I am probably one of those skeptics he refers to. Here are my top four excerpts from the article.

1.     "The role of God in history — or "His story," as Cameron says - has long been a topic discussed by religion scholars and some evangelical groups.” -Now this is just annoying. Enough said.

2.      “A clip from his show The Way of the Master in which Cameron listens to co-host Ray Cutler argue that the design of a banana is evidence of creation over evolution has become a viral YouTube video and Internet meme.” – I want to look this up for a good laugh, but I am afraid of what I will find.

3.     "I used to think I was too smart to believe in God and be a Christian, but the more I've looked into and studied it and researched, the evidence is clear on the side of there being a God and Christ being that God." -Is he serious? He can provide hard evidence? I would REALLY like to see this evidence and his citations.

4.      "Now, with secular humanism and new militant atheists, you have people trying to make it sound like Christians are a joke … . It's a wake-up call today. It's a call to man-up." -Man-up is my term, it’s what men in the world of dating need to do! Don’t steal my words Kirk Cameron! Ok so its not really “my word”, but how does he propose Christians “man-up”?

All that being said and/or mocked, good for him for standing up for what he believes. But please Kirk, don’t shove it down our throats. I’ll have to stop watching Growing Pains reruns.

OMG No Facebook???

So Facebook is down, for fun I Google'd "Facebook problems today" and found 48 news articles relating to todays (and yesterdays) Facebook outages.

I just find it entertaining that you can find all these articles in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, New Zealand Herald on this breaking news story. Headlines should read "Life Halts: Facebook Servers Down"

I guess everyone will just have to talk to each other for a while...and maybe once Facebook is back up I can share this so someone will actually read it?

I hope your day didn't suck too bad without your Facebook fix. Make that 54 articles in the 3 minutes it took me to finish typing this.

Keeping up with myself

This weekend I am celebrating my 28th Birthday. I started it yesterday with a day off of work, a one and a half hour massage, lunch at a fabulous wine bar with fabulous ladies, shopping, dancing, and a private booth at a local bar. Today I have to work and tomorrow is time spent with my family (both the real one and my dance girls)

Now Friday was a pretty fantastic day. The massage was absolutely perfect and I can't wait for another one, lunch was great, shopping successful, there were a few snags along the way but we had a good time. There were lots of people who couldn't join us last night so we have already decided there is need for a re-match. Which brings me to my question for the day....

Lately I have been staying so busy. When I say lately I mean the last several months. I moved, went on vacation, had two pledge drives, lots of birthdays and other celebrations, happy hours, dance performances, and the list goes on. (In between all this I am trying to maintain my new gym going regime.) It makes me wonder how long I can keep up with myself and when is it time for me to say stop, slow down? I guess it doesn't really matter that I am another year older tomorrow, that doesn't have anything to do with my question it was more the amount of activity that is circulating around the birthday.

I honestly think the answer is simply that I keep going as long as I am enjoying the time and having fun. I just need to pay attention to making sure I am not killing myself in the process!
