Or, sort of like my life with #1. I'm really dreading when #2 kicks in.

56% of My Brain Has Leaked Out

Sorry for the lack of original posts - or maybe that's a good thing? Haven't been out to take photos, and nothing's made me want to rant or rave.

Well, nothing that I can post about, anyway. This blog DOES have a "G" rating.

You Are 44% Open Minded

You aren't exactly open minded, but you have been known to occasionally change your mind. You're tolerant enough to get along with others who are very different... But you may be quietly judgmental of things or people you think are wrong. You take your own values pretty seriously, and it would take a lot to change them.

How Open Minded Are You?

Cheer Up!

Read a "funny" story from an airplane magazine I get.

A pilot and his co-pilot were almost to their destination; the pilot had noticed his co-pilot had been in the dumps through the long flight and hadn't said much of anything even when the pilot had tried to engage him in conversation.

Approaching the airport, the pilot gave the command to lower their landing gear and the co-pilot complied without a word. Almost to the ground, the pilot said to the co-pilot:

"Cheer up!"

The co-pilot retracted the landing gear, thinking the pilot had said "Gear up!"

Not sure I'd want a pig for New Year's, but a rasher of bacon would be nice.

Oh wait. That'd contradict last years resolution, to give up pork.

And I Will

As usual

You Should Stay Home for New Year's Eve

By the time New Year's Eve comes around, you are usually exhausted. You just need to rest. That doesn't mean you won't celebrate, but you'll definitely be toasting the new year in your own low key way. You'll reflect on the year that's passed and make plans for the year to come. And when the clock turns over at midnight, you'll be cheering along with anyone else. You'll just be in your pj's!

How Should You Spend New Year's Eve?
