You know, I'm not sure why so many people blatantly ignore the basics of office etiquette...if you receive an email that was sent to 700 people. DO NOT, I repeat DO. NOT. hit reply all. I would like to assure you that 699 people do not care about your response.

To the Cyclists I Saw This Morning

Bravo to you for your 5:30 am exercise. However, you should learn some basic rules. I was "sharing the road," but you don't get to take more than half of it. You are on a road that has a bike lane, it would be great if you could keep yourselves in it or the right lane, but I cannot figure out why in the world you need to ride on the dotted line between the right and left lanes of traffic. Don't worry - I will not hit you because I don't care enough about you to go to jail. But let this be your warning...if you do this again, I will run my windshield washing fluid the entire time I pass you.

The future of writing

While I love my iPhone, I have issues with the future of parenting and writing. No, I do not have children. No, I do not know how difficult it is to teach someone how to write. However, I do not think that teaching your child to trace letters with their fingertip on and iPad is doing them any great service for the future. I mean, how would you ever write on paper to say, leave someone a note or in Snarky's case, keep up with your paper calendar, if you don't know how to write with anything other than the tip of your finger. I just don't understand how that is considered teaching someone how to write. Although I also don't understand how you come to be a college educated adult and not know how to properly hold a knife and fork, so maybe it's just me.

The Most Hated Holiday of the Year

So, I'm not really a big fan of Valentine's day. For so many years, it was just another day to me. Now though, I'm married to someone who thinks it is an important day. Funny - because this is the same man who has only purchased me flowers once in four years. So Fabio was all excited to cancel his gym workout and make plans for Tuesday night until he realized that dance studios don't close for Hallmark holidays.


Next week I will think about everyone who is receiving beautiful flower arrangements and how my husband doesn't purchase flowers because everyone would assume he has done something wrong. Oh yeah, and I will spend my Valentine's evening with 8 rowdy 7-9th graders. fun times.
