On my Mind...

i'm trying to gather some

opinions.

so therefore, i need yours...

age has been a topic of discussion recently

at the hackberry place. so i pose the question,

in dating, what is

too old or too young?

what are the rules? are there any?

is it weird if a 25 almost 26 year old girl dates a 21 almost 22 year old boy?

or a 26 year old girl dates a 23 year old boy?

i know there is a double standard with this type of situation, but

is it okay for a 26 year old boy to date a 21 year old girl?

why does gender make a difference?

maturity?

someone, anyone, please,

give me some insight.

it would be very much appreciated.

okaythankssomuch.

Reunion Time...

in two weeks.

we'll (my family and i) be meeting

these folks...

(not the chip, the people duh.)

in cabo san lucas.

its been a long time coming.

(like three years coming probably.)

It's hard, but true...

when people do you wrong...

Food for Thought...

people come into our lives

for specific reasons.

but it's up to us whether or not

we choose to learn from them.

so remember...

This topic, again?

please read.

Where Have the Good Men Gone?

(ladies, single or not, you can read too.

just note, your neck may get tired

from agreeing so much...)

News...

with moving to a new city and state

comes working at a new job,

and then comes being good at your new job.

well, i've got news.

i will be the new

sales director at

firebirds.

(i must have been doing something good).

the old one is leaving,

which means i'll be in charge.

it's kind of scary.

i'm definitely growing up.

for real this time.

wish me luck...

Back at it again?

so a few weeks ago

a girl i work with

mentioned that she wanted to build her

photography portfolio by taking a few photos of me.

well, since they've been posted on fb,

here are a few....

(you can also check out more on her blog)

(i feel a little silly posting these pictures

because, let's be honest, i by no means

think i am a model. i'm just helping a friend out

with her photography portfolio.)

Oh happy day...

happy valentines day to those in a relationship....

and...

happy single's awareness day to those who are not.

(sucks to be us, huh?)

Mature People Truths...

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever.

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? **** it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

18. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

19. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

20. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

21. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.

22. I would rather try to carry 10 over-loaded plastic bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

23. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.

24. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

25. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

26. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

28. Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber every year?

29. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

30. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate bicyclists.

31. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

32. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my *** everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!
