Next To The McDonalds Drive-Thru

Totally lost any appetite I had. If I was the McDonald's manager I'd been very displeased by this sign.

Miscommunications With 602 284

For some reason I have mentally blocked phone numbers starting with 602 284 from being copied to my phone. I mentally track Shawn, Chip and Carolyn who all have phone numbers that start with 602 284.

I discovered tonight that Chip must think I am a terrible communicator and Shawn must be so perplexed as to why I am always getting him involved in my business. Since August 21st I have exchanged 51 texts with Shawn thinking he was Chip. Shawn always responds so kindly and he actually seems interested in the topic at hand. Tonight in response to my status that I  was expecting the RU updates Shawn promptly responded with a smiley face. :) I thought the smiley face was an odd response so I searched through my previous messages and discovered that while Shawn must think I am insane, Chip must be quite frustrated at my inability to provide timely statuses. FYI Chip-The RU counts are in your inbox.

Don't Break Into My Car

The other day mom tried to hide her purse in my car. I'm sure nobody could see her purse hidden under the drink carrier. Also note Sydney's giraffe shorts, maybe she thought they would help camouflage it. LOL

Etiquette For When Your BFF is Not On Facebook

Twice this week I have taken a picture of my computer to send to Jane. One was a status update, one was a wall message and now we have the pic below. Is this my responsibility to send or am I just going above and beyond? Do I wait for a conversation and then report in any pertinent updates? Can I answer on her behalf (like below, I answered "we" love Sara) Or does what happen on Facebook just stay on Facebook? (Ha Ha we all know the answer to that)


Safe to say, Jane may not be missing Facebook but Facebook misses Jane.


P.S. More and more people are taking Facebook breaks. Just this last week I noticed my cousin was off (she's now back). I don't think I am on Facebook enough to need a break.

It's Hot In Texas

Thanks Amy for the pic!



Third Finger On My Left Hand

After 14 years of marriage about 2 months ago my wedding ring began digging into my finger. About a month ago I actually stopped wearing it and it took about 3 weeks for it to look actually healed. Yesterday I decided since I was going to be on Plano this week (meeting mostly people I didn't know) I should put the ring back on signaling that I was indeed married.

I'm not happy, less than 24 hours later my finger is inflamed again.

Playground Instructions

Adult Supervision is higly recommended
Dogs are prohibited
As for glass beverages, they are discouraged.


I wonder if there is someone assigned as the "official discourager" or if its handled via peer pressure

I Didnt Dress Her

This may become a series. In this photo we have summer tshirt, diaper (I know, I know, if only an SLA was assigned to potty training it would be complete. It's now intermittent however we are approaching Sev 1 status and I have just opened the problem ticket), and two different high heels.

You can read the whole article here, but a word of warning you are only going to become more disgusted.

Things I Learned Today

(As a reminder, I work for Dell)

95% of fortune 500 companies choose Dell
All of the G20 governments choose Dell
3 of 5 hospitals in the US choose Dell

and some things I already knew:

Newsweek rated Dell as the #1 Green company in the United States
120,000 Dell devices are shipped per day

Go Dell!

Good Morning, Doug!

It's The Thought That Counts

Tonight Jane and I are both flying out of Burbank airport, our flights are 40 minutes apart, I am at Gate A1 she will be at Gate A2. While waiting for my flight I saw this cute little book in the gift shop (no clue why I wandered in there) and thought I could circle the bff on the cover, have SWA page her overhead while she was waiting at the gate and have them present her with her surprise gift. fun, huh?


Then I remembered.....she probably would not be at the gate long enough to receive the gift or because she was late it would cause more confussion than anything. Oh well, its the thought that counts.

Long Eyelashes

Sydney's eyelashes are so beautiful, someday she will love this post.
