Missing The Office
I spent two days at a conference this week, so I wasn't at the office. But that's not what I mean when I say I am missing the office. I am missing The Office! When it not a rerun, I watch it every Friday. It's just close enough to real life that I can sympathize yet at the same time so far out that it makes me feel grateful for my job.
But I haven't watched in weeks. And now my office is the one that seems far out. Sometimes I just need Michael Scott's perspective:
Michael Scott: Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.
Oh well. Here's what I am grateful for:
1. It's Friday. Not Friday-The Office-Day, but Friday-McGrath's Fish House Tonight-Day
2. Canada Dry and Mounds candy bars.
3. Today is National Donut Day. For some reason, this makes me happy. Happy National Donut Day everybody!
4. Rain. I love rain.
5. Flip-flops. Right now they're about the only shoes that my right foot fits in to.

It's Like Riding a Bike
You know what they say about riding bikes: once you learn you can ride one for life. It is my personal goal in this blog to denounce that theory! NOT TRUE FOLKS! I proved it yesterday when I went for ride with my son and totally BIFFED it! As my son pointed out, though, at least I didn't bonk my head (I wasn't wearing a helmet).
My Five:
1. Not only did I not bonk my head, I didn't land on my formally broken ankle.
2. I got to spend time with my kids and husband yesterday - I had half a day off!
3. I can sort of get gossip from facebook. Not that I'm a gossiper silly, but I can get to kind of know the people that I secretly admire.
4. I have a personal trainer for a neighbor. We have a meeting on Saturday.
5. Watching Forever Strong as a family last night. Good movie.
