THE TIME I GOT AN AWESOME NEW JOB!
A few years back I was in the middle of a job search. There weren’t a lot of jobs to be had at that time, so the competition was fierce. Having hired quite a few people myself over the years I knew how hard it was to differentiate yourself from everyone else in the massive […]
MY HOME DEPOT SHOPPING EXPERIENCE
BLACK FRIDAY IS FOR WIMPS It’s not that I don’t enjoy Christmas shopping, I really do. It’s more that I’m a hopeless procrastinator, putting it off until the last possible moment. Some people get their rush from Black Friday. But for me and an always surprisingly large group of others, we enjoy something I call […]
CHANGING THE CLOCK…SO THE KIDS WILL GO TO BED
Today was a very busy day, and when the kids got home from school it just got busier. You know the drill, carpool, karate, art class, dinner, homework…and I still had a couple hours of work to do myself. Daylight Savings Time had just ended a few days ago and the boys were having a […]
The Time I Took the Toyota to Target
There I was, in the parking lot at Target, walking back to my car. Late-model Toyota Highlander, gold in color.

The parking lot was pretty full for […]

FAMILY FUN AND MAKING MEMORIES LIFE-LONG MEMORIES
When the thunder and lightning began at 4 a.m. the day of The Color Run, I took it as a great omen. I love summer storms, so for me this was just like having fireworks to celebrate the beginning of my first 5k. Just a few hours later our fellow members of Team Shout® and a […]
HAVE YOU EVER HAD AS MUCH FUN AS A 6TH GRADER?
A few weeks ago I asked my sons what they needed in the way of school supplies. My eighth grader listed the usual things—pencils, notebooks, and hair gel. But my sixth grader insisted he only needed one thing: a barf bag for his math class. I‘m not much of a math person myself, so I […]

July is National Grilling Month—that’s right, the entire month! Even a holiday as popular as Turkey Day only gets one day in November, yet grilling gets the whole month of July. And just as the Thanksgiving holiday serves as a reminder for us to be thankful for turkey the entire year (or something like that), National […]

PLEASE QUIT CALLING ME, CARLY RAE JEPSEN
Curse you Carly Rae Jepsen! I love this Call Me Maybe song, but it’s been in my head since Friday. And today is Tuesday. Call Me Maybe is destined to become the Summer Song of 2012, and I’m fine with that; the song is upbeat, catchy, and easy to dance to. BUT IT WON’T STOP […]
