Advertising Is Good For You

Just came across the perfect quotation for all the women graduating

Remember...

There is always

a little girl

in the stands

that wants to be

just like you,

don't disappoint her.

Happy Graduation to all my family and friends who are getting their diplomas.

Four minutes of freakin' awesome

No screen grab could come close to expressing how truly amazing this video is.

It packs into four minutes enough inspiration for at least a dozen TV commercials.

I suppose it qualifies as performance art but, seriously, it's so incredible, it should have it's own genre name. Maybe it already does — if so, please let me know what it's called.

When someone says

get ready for a sh*t storm.

Good morning

It's Friday so, of course, it's a good morning. I plan on enjoying it. As soon as I snap out of my Benedryl-induced coma.

What would you fill yours with?

Mine would contain my husband, a few beers and cats. And some air holes.

For you landlubbers, the complete adage is:

Red sky at night, sailor's delight.
Red sky in the morning, sailors heed the warning. 

Tomorrow should be a beautiful day.
