Totally bitchin' weekends worth mentioning
This past weekend was Gasparilla. Drunkards, Wenches, Pirates and Land-Lubbers galore...it was quite the spectacle. And for once, I was not quite the spectacle. Then Busch Gardens on Sunday: we rode EVERY coaster at least twice and sometimes, three times. A salad fork.
Weekend of the 19th. Business dinner that turned into a drunken poker fest. I won big. Who was it that said I had no poker face? Well, I do and it looks like this, :)
Weekend of the 5th. Football and Fultons = great time. Jones sodas at every Seahawks score. The Cider House (?) bar. Drumming for hours.
Weekend of Dec 29th. Partying at a South Beach outdoor pool bar chickee thing with some awesome friends: Jimmy, Vanessa and Champagne. Got asked to wear MK's varsity jacket. I immediately put it on over my party dress.
Weekend of Dec 15. Frat House Partying at FIT. Fun road trip. Frat house Olympics Commenced.
I could elaborate but I sensed your boredom.

THE FOUR AGREEMENTS
BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean.
DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY
Nothing others do is because of you. What others
say and do is a projection of their own reality.
DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS
Find the courage to ask questions and to express
what you really want. Communicate with others as
clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings and
drama.
ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST
Your best is going to change from moment to moment;
it will be different when you are healthy as
opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do
your best!.
>>The above is research for the survival guide. I
struggle with only one of these four agreements.
How about you?

AO 08
So the Australian Open has begun. As if I need another sport to follow! Soccer, hockey and, yes, football has been consuming what little free time I have these days. Sigh, guess I'll have to fit watching and playing tennis in there now too (secret WOO HOO!!!!)
I am reminded of a fun game I play. It is exactly like Marco-Polo in every way except instead of yelling 'MARCO' I yell 'ROGER' and instead of 'POLO' I yell 'FEDERER'
Let's play.
ROGER!!!...

Because some consider me a wealth of knowledge...
FACT: In the 1400s a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have "the rule of thumb".
FACT: In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase "goodnight, sleep tight".
FACT: It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after a wedding, the bride's father would supply his new son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.
FACT: In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old England, when customers got unruly, to settle them the bartender would yell, "Mind your pints and quarts!" It's where we get the phrase "mind your P's and Q's".
FACT: Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim or handle of their ceramic mugs. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. "Wet your whistle" is the phrase inspired by this practice.
...I'm trying to live up to the reputation.
