7/26/11- My day off!

"Welcome back Jonny!"  Why thank you .  Sorry for the lapse in entries last week folks.  Check out ourugust (shameless plug) for the full breakdown of excuses.  

Today, on my break from my computer screen, I decided to check out...the computer screen.  Hey!  The girl and I need somewhere to hang our hats!  AND...we may be coming to a metro-area near you.

What were you up to?

Text #1:  "Can you tell which car is mine?"

Leslie, is it the SC, the Explorer, or the Dodge station wagon in the distance?  My head tells me the sporty coupe.  My gut tells me it's not the station wagon.  That'd just be gauche!  My heart tells me it's the Explorer because it reminds me of my dear old Jeep Grand Cherokee (affectionately known as "The Purple Skittle") that moved my friends just about everywhere from 1997-2004!  

Text #2:  "Okay Jonny, this was my Tuesday." 

My mother thinks she's the modern age Tarzan.  Seriously!  I go away for a month, 28 days, and she's swinging from the trees.  Am I losing faith....

Text #3:  "Cousin It!!"

You look...um...pretty, Kaeleen.  Is the the...finished product?  Did you...pay yet?

Text #4:  "Get out of here!  I'm looking for apartment furniture!"

Well I'll be, Yvette!  With our powers combined, we are ultimate thrift shoppers.  Word to the wise?  Beware of bed bugs.  Those little bastards are relentless.  You'll have to light your couch on fire and burn down your entire house.  Don't say I didn't warn you!

Text #5:  "Who's a good girl?!"

Hey Jess!  Pick me, pick me! ...it's this brave lady!  Aside from nearly walking across the ceiling and bucking off four grown adults when it was time to have her nails clipped.

Text #6:  "Back in Chicago after singing at Gammage auditorium in Temple, AZ yesterday."

Okay, Colte...I know you're were singing, but why are there traffic cones, blue flags, and Heaven in the background?    

Text #7:  "Day one of Secret santas at Mac-Haydyn.  My first gift:  Island themed gift basket on my world tour starting at a certain mysetirous and magnetic island somewhere between Sydney and LAX!

Kelly, I'm confused.  I get that you're referencing LOST and it's winter in Australia right now.  Are you lost in Australia?  Where does Santa come into play.  Why is it a secret?

Final Thoughts

You never know where life is going to take you.  Sometimes it takes you to Tampa.  Sometimes Manhattan.  Sometimes San Francisco.  Be maleable folks.  Keep a bag packed in the top of your closet just in case.  Have a cab company on speed dial.  Be ready for adventure, available to risk, excepting of nerves.  Let the stress roll off your back.  Know that the trivial is not worth a loss of sleep.  And no matter what anyone says...you got swag!!

Till next time...

Jonny
