Professionalism With a Capital "P"

This video is pretty amazing! It will make the hairs on your arms stand up when you hear how calm, cool and collected the pilot is as he communicates with air traffic control.

The professionalism of this crew is outstanding and the acknowledgment of their efforts is well deserved!

Bless His Heart

I guess an apple a day doesn't really keep the doctor away? In a bizarre freak accident on Tuesday a Rookie basketball player was hurt by eating an apple in bed.

Apparently it went down a little something like this...

Derrick Rose's laugh briefly replaced his sheepish smile when asked if the freak injury he suffered Monday morning had come as payback for giving up Gummi Bears.

A self-described sweets freak in college at Memphis, Rose needed 10 stitches to close a gash in his left forearm after he said he rolled onto a knife while eating an apple in bed.


I wonder if any crackers were involved?

Cheers to safely eating your crackers or in this case apples in bed!

Jean Squatting; It's an Art


Today I came across another priceless moment when I got Cookie Ready for school and then managed to get myself ready (after a Grande Coffee, several conference calls and realizing that it is 1 PM). It went a little something like this...

Size 18 Month (Cute As A Button) Target Jeans: $8.00

Size ? (two season ago, sucker for a sale, pre-baby fitting) Old Navy Jeans: $29.50

Realizing that my daughter has not learned the art of "squatting" in her jeans to loosen them up to...PRICELESS

For all blogging Mom's who "squat" around the world each morning, you are not alone in your quest for a looser fit. For everything else there is MasterCard to help us afford a pair of recessionista jeans that would actually fit. But I say why chance the horror of having to face the bad lighting of a dressing room and face the fact that gravity really does effect our dairy aires.

Cheers to happy squatting and looser fitting jeans!

Detroit Isn't Rockin'

Are you curious about what I am doing right now...

I am sitting in the Detroit Airport for the next SIX...yes, SIX hours.

Oh well, looks like I have will have plenty of time to catch up on a few phone calls and maybe do a little online shopping. Maybe I will even run up and down the escalators for fun, or even take a tour of the airport. I wonder if the man who drives the golf cart around who screams, "Excuse the cart, cart coming through" will give me a lift?

Stay tune for more on my airport adventures....

Right now I would like to take the time to give A big fat shout out to Verizon for their wireless Internet capabilities, you are saving me from becoming the next 5 o'clock news story in Detroit..."Today at Five, Houston woman found wondering around the Detroit Airport, taking random pictures of passengers and claiming it is material for her blog...more to come at 10!"

Priceless Moment Edition 001

Unopened Running Shoes with nifty little running device: $88



Treadmill: I am guessing around $300. Not really sure it was a gift from the Hubby, but don't worry I asked him for it. Oh, could you imagine the hint that would have dropped if I had not ask for it.



Uncharged I-Pod: $200



Choosing to have a 100,000+ calorie Frito Pie, a glass of wine (okay two glasses), cookies and watch Grey's Anatomy curled up next to my Charlie girl (our precious whippet) instead of using any of the above items: Priceless

Yes, today I shall eat Frito Pie! However, tomorrow I will settle for a nice plate of air with a side of motivation.

In conclusion to this priceless moment, please note that some (ALL) New Years Resolutions are planned with good intentions but not necessarily planned to be executed on January 1. I feel (STRONGLY) that if a resolution is attempted anytime between now and 12/31 11:59 2008, then yep you can mark it off the list. So at that rate, I should have plenty of time to get out there and get this post baby butt back into shape.

Maybe I should hang one of my old swimsuits up as motivation...nah. No way these baby bearing hips are getting back in to that thing. But if that miracle should happen, then you can bet your bottoms that I will be(thinking about) posting a pick of that.

Have a Good Evening! I think I will squeeze one more cookie in before calling it a night.

If you have any motivation tips, PLEASE send them my way. However, please exclude any tips on which lighters are the best, because I too know that a good old fashion fire under my butt would motivate me quit nicely!
