What do I say to this?!
Brett: I thought Black Friday was the day Jesus died...
Lauren: No, that's Good Friday.
Brett: Well, wouldn't it make more sense if Black Friday was the day Jesus died and Good Friday was when everything goes on sale?

Is this a natural reaction or am I crazy?
Today, on my way home, traffic was stopped on Highway 42. A couple minutes later, I hear sirens coming from behind me. I move my car over to the right and watch a fire truck and police cars navigate throught the traffic and pass me. Just when I think “Yay, traffic’s moving now!”, I realize that they are turning onto MY street! And the panic sets in. I start thinking,...

What's your favorite movie?
Since I was about 6 years old, the answer has always been Dirty Dancing or Steel Magnolias…but I think I need to bump those two down a notch. It’s Forrest Gump.
Forrest Gump: Will you marry me? [Jenny turns and looks at him] Forrest Gump: I’d make a good husband, Jenny. Jenny Curran: You would, Forrest. Forrest Gump: …But you won’t marry me. Jenny Curran:...
It's like finding $125 in your glovebox!
I was cleaning out the “office” at my house yesterday. I noticed a piece of mail from Honda that had been laying on the desk for months. I was pretty sure I had read it before and it wasn’t important. I started to crumple it up, but then I stopped myself and decided to re-read it.

Career Milestone
Lately, I’ve “gotten my feet wet” in the marketing consulting business. I’ve met with a few clients to share my ideas about their marketing efforts - Rick Volland (for Capital City Grill and Stroube’s Chophouse) and the Asian House. It’s something that I’d like to get more into, especially when sales and leasing season slows down.
(That being said,...
Bad Day
Lauren: Brett, can I pleaseeeee quit my job?!?! I had such a horrible day!
Birdy: Sure, if you want to downsize to a trailer. And I can't even promise you a double-wide.
I'm still considering his "proposal", even if he was only joking...

Fonville Winans
I had been eyeing these black and white prints (all circa 1930s) from Fonville Winans at The Royal Standard and The Foyer for years but I never had a reason to actually buy any prints. But recently Brett mentioned that he wanted to go get “some stuff” to put on the walls in his new office. So, here was my chance. And as it turned out, he loved it! We got 6 prints, 5 for the office...
