Well Maybe...

So I was browsing the shoes at Kohl's today, Do you think they pay much attention to their signage?

No, it IS creepy...

So, it's not just me is it? This is really creepy isn't it.

Yes, yes it is. for twenty bucks you're supposed to hang your jewelry on IT. Yeah I want a headless, armless THING to hold my jewelry......Bet a Target buyer got fired for this one.

I Won!

SO at my work they like to think we are a safe place. Yeah, whatever, anyways to prove to us how much they care about our safety the company trained all of the employees on the Safe Start program. In a nutshell, 4 things-rushing, fatigue, frustration and complacency cause 4 unsafe situations-eyes not on task, mind not on task, Line-of-fire, and balance/traction/grip. Got all that? So anyways when were were done with the traiing-5 2 hour sessions! we got the chance to call the Safe Start company and answer some questions on the phone and randomly have a chance at winning a "prize". OH BOY! A PRIZE!


They have prizes at different levels for you to choose from if you "win", A prizes are pretty cheapola, the Z prizes look pretty awesome..there's a Segway! Anyway I didn't get a Z prize but I did get a J prize! I looked at the stuff you can choose from and I got this...

Pretty nice huh?
Ben took it for a trial run...

Yum! What a good prize! And the price was right...free ninety nine!!
Now if my family watches these...

The Safe Start home DVD's then they can call in and win a prize too maybe.

WOW!

Have you noticed as your kids get older they don't get as excited about their Christmas presents as they did when they were little? Wonder why that is? Maybe because they always know what they are getting.

SO  As they opened their gifts I told them "ok holler WOW!"  and they looked at me and smiled and said,Mom, you're a dork..or something like that.

WOW!!

WOW!!

WOW!!!

WOW!

WOW! I love Christmas!

Well here's a Thinking kind of thing...

10 sec reading: My wife and the burnt light

by Paulo Coelho on December 30, 2011

On Christmas Eve, my wife and I were reflecting on the year that was nearly ending, whilst dining at a restaurant.

I started to complain about something that hadn’t happened the way I wanted it to.

My wife focused her attention on a Christmas tree that embellished the place.
I thought that she wasn’t interested in the conversation, so I changed the subject:
“This tree has a beautiful illumination”, I said.

“Yes, but if you look carefully you can see one burnt light among dozens.
” It seems to me that instead of thinking of this year as dozens of enlightened blessings, you chose to look at the one light that did not glow

New Years Eve Shopping we will go...

We popped over to the Amana Smokehouse meats store so DD could pick up her tupperware order from the very nice tupperware person who happens to work there.

Yum look at all that meaty goodness!

They have pretty unique things at the meat shop, candy, kitchen gadgets, mixes for sauces and cakes, and of course meat & lots of cheese too.

We had lunch at Applebee's and DD showed off her Christmas ipad while we waited for our food.

 Pretty amazing little thing it is.
