awkward morning anyone?

At work tonight, I had an interesting conversation with one of my very witty co-workers. We were talking about favorite quotes {no idea why} and he mentioned one of his that I had never heard before...





An awkward morning beats a boring night...

Although so very true in most cases, I have drawn up a couple conclusions from this statement.

A. Anyone old enough to drink {legally of course} is too old to wear a t-shirt with sayings on it. (Which would probably put Spencer's out of business-let's be real-grown men and women wearing these types of shirts obviously are single for a reason and if they are not single, then the guys and gals wearing these shirts are clearly dating each other...)
B. Surprisingly enough, I have never had an awkward morning-which means I have lived a lot of boring nights, but that is something I am totally okay with
C. People that manage to be drawn on, surrounded by beer bottles or saran wrapped from head to toe have really bad friends for 2 reasons. (1. who lets a friend get this drunk and 2. karma is a b*tch...so look out for yours)



*Based on how drunk this guy is, I am quite surprised at how well his friends were able to surround his body with empty beer bottles so neatly because obviously they were pretty blitzed as well.

Here's to hoping that I never have an awkward morning and that my friends are kind enough to keep me out of trouble to avoid an awkward morning. I don't know about you, but I would not trade 100 boring nights to experience an awkward morning that ended like this...



At least he has a comfy place to sleep and a cool sombrero...here's to looking at the *bright*side!

PS- If my night ever ended like this, I would want a full video of how I got from point A to point Z so I can know what never do again...

So long 2010...

OK-Here we go... so 2010 was full of a lot of great and not so great memories (and that is an understatement for some of you I am sure)...and although 2010 wasn't the best year ever (ahem Tiger Woods and Lindsay Lohan), I am truly greatful for all that God has blessed me with in 2010 and I am sure you are as well.

 I finally got a puppy!
(Cooper-the most wonderful and lovable snuggle-bug ever)

 I got promoted into a wonderful new job with a great organization
(Love my job)

I got to see some of the most beautiful scenery ever in Alaska with my family
(Mendenhall Glacier)

Along with January 1 comes resolutions. I am sure a lot of you will be making some for 2011...turning a new leaf...beginning a new chapter...closing one door and opening another....Well I too will be making some changes in 2011. I will share a few with you now...but some will remain personal to avoid failure due to over-sharing.

Let's start with what resolution actually means. Some people think it means losing weight, quitting something that is bad for you -like smoking- (PS: if you are a smoker that should be on the top of your list), or spending more time with loved ones. Well, according to dictionary.com the actual definition of resolution is as follows: a formal expression of opinion or intention made...with that being said-I have put a lot of thought into these...*kidding*

1. drink more water
2. go to church often
3. save more, spend less
4. learn something new 
5. complete a 5k and 10k

I know those are pretty vague, but you get the idea. Celebrate all that is great and forget all that is not. Be sure to make a wish on January first...1.1.11...Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy 2011!

...Here's to looking at the *bright* side
