TGIF!

TGIF indeed.

Disaster at the home-front

Complete disaster when walking in my front door yesterday...

Apparently Betty doesn't think my mortgage papers are worth keeping.

Shoeless

During my leisurely stroll through the city this afternoon, I happened to walk past Nine West which had every cute shoe under the sun in the window. Of course I walked in and saw countless new styles lining the racks. I would like to try on this one, and this one, and probably this one too...in the smallest size you have - a 5 or 5 1/2, I said to the sales lady. While excitedly waiting to try on these new, fancy shoes, the lady came out of the back room...completely empty-handed. I'm sorry...we don't have that small of a size in any of those pairs. Really?!, I replied. How about these and those...can you check those? Again, she emerged from the back room shoeless.

So there you have it. I'm going to be walking around this city barefoot because certain stores don't believe in carrying size 5. If I ever open a shoe store, I will only carry size 5. And I will be the only person shopping there.

Business Talk

Recent conversation I had with my dad:

Me: Dad, $30,000 is not that bad. Some people spend way more then that on their weddings, and since I don't plan on walking down the aisle anytime soon, just take it out of my wedding fund.
Dad: no response

Halloween '05

Because this picture makes me laugh every time I look at it.

Tuesday's Things I like about training for the marathon vs. Things I don't like about training for the marathon

I like being able to get outside on a nice day in the city and go for a refreshing run. I do not like catching bugs in my mouth while I briskly run down the lake-front trail.

Go Cubs!!!

I'm with Holly on this one...GO CUBS!!

Betty's Favorite Yoga Pose

Savasana (Corpse Pose)

Quotes by Fadman - 7th ed.

Email Fadilicious sent to the admin. staff in regards to his recent promotion:

Ladies,
Given my recent promotion, I will get the privilege, nay the honor, of working closely with one of you. I must confess that I am lucky for not having to make the choice myself about which one it will be. Choosing among four fine, graceful, beautiful ladies is no easy task indeed.
In order to prevent any further calamities in our already troubled office, I beg you not to fight over me. I realize that I am young, hot, smart, beefy and have a perfectly shaped a__, however fighting will be beneficial to no one I assure you. Whatever process you choose to decide on who will be 'Licious' lady, I promise to make amends to the unlucky, unchosen rest of you somehow, some time. Till then, I remain
Your most obliging AC,
Fadi

Quotes by Fadman - 6th ed.

"Hail to you my gracious lady. I am celebrating the event that you and I got the promotion on the same day. That, is the real celebration."

- Fadi, in an email to Eileen regarding her recent promotion

It was the "Dogg Training" episode.
