Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

Oh and PS

I am obsessed with my little guy!!  I can't take enough pictures, there are never enough hours in the day, and I can't possibly love him anymore!!

Less than 10 weeks until the Army 10 miler....

YOLO

Some Thoughts....Hysterical and SOOOOOO TRUE!!!!

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blu-ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Bud or Miller Lite than Kay.

17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

18. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

19. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

20. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at  the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever..  
22. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

23. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.

24. People who forward e- mail without deleting the tons of previous recipients should be shot and then tarred and feathered.

25. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974.  That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important. Ladies quit Laughing!

Cousin Christmas!

the first annual cousin Christmas...

 

HOLY Estrogen!!!!

Apart we are in many ways, and different we remain

Though we are still connected, the same blood runs through our veins

It unites us when we are lost, in dark times it is our key

Its where each one of us belong, in the Parker Family Tree

LIT-TRA-LY exhauuuusted!!!!

Happy Monday after a 4 day Holiday weekend!!!  On top of the thanksgiving day activities, the black friday shopping, the 4 game tournament for my U10 bball team and the tennis match Whitney and I lost in ha....holidays mean MISS DOMBROFF herself was in town.  I always thought I was a night owl but when Jessica comes to town, night owl takes on a whole new meaning.  In turn, today I am absolutely exhausted!!!  All totally worth it though...

Friday night we went to Jacksons!!  It was fun, hadn't been out out in forever!!  Not a great pic but it's the only one I have so here it is:

Saturday night though, now that was my favorite!!!  Jessica, Julie, Whit, Eric and I hung out on our couch!!!  In my pajamas none the less.  And we played GAMESSSSSS- my fave :)  A long game of Taboo ("i'm not good at giving" hahaha) followed by 6 rounds of scattegories and what do you know it's 1:00am.

I feel so blessed to have such great friends that go back 12+ years, that's amazing and not something you find everyday!!!  Nothing ever changes no matter how much time passes between visits....Love you guys :)
