Chasing the Winter Blues Away

If you are looking for a fun afternoon activity in the middle of the winter, here's a fun one -thanks to the creativity of my sister-in-law, Heather:

1) Separate into two teams - Men vs. Women

2) Create a suprise scavenger hunt list of 10-15 items that would be difficult, unique or embarrassing for the members of the opposite sex to find in your local super store.


3) Drive to your local super store and set a time limit

4) Document all found items with a digital camera- all members of team must be present.







5) After all items have been documented on camera, be the first to call the home phone number and leave a voicemail as a team, singing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.

Side notes: Strange glances, laughter, and smiles are to be expected.

Monday Musings

1) It's amusing to me that everyone brings out the flip flops and summer clothes as soon as it hits 45 degrees in Northern Indiana!

2) It takes me all day on Monday to get focused on the work week - by the time I hit my stride, it's time to go home.

3) Sometimes I wish I could get a sneak peek as to what life will be like when I'm 60 - am I making the right decisions now for the future? Would I change anything if the sneak peak wasn't what I was expecting?

4) I'm really out of shape - I played Wii tennis and boxing like a mad-woman on Saturday night with the neighbors and I could hardly raise my arms to get dressed yesterday morning.

5) The bathing suits on the front of the Target ad yesterday confirmed my thoughts that I am getting old - I prefered the "Mom" suit on the 2nd page with more coverage.

6) Next week, my little girl will be 3/4 of the way through Kindergarten - where has the time gone?

7) It makes me smile that my little boy loves to play with his sisters' Barbies - he's going to be a sensitive little jock!

8) It's nice to see my hubby's smile again - it was missing for a few months, but a new job brought it back to life.
