A little teary...

Last night, I listened to Janey rehearse a speech for school. Her topic was Girl Scouts and she used such great expression. It really was wonderful.
Then I asked if I could look through her speech folder. I had no real reason to do this, she has been doing fine. I was just curious, I guess. I came across the instruction sheet for this speech assignment. It asked for 5 possible topic ideas, things that are meaningful to you and easy for you to talk about. Here was Janey's list:
1. Dance
2. Girl Scouts
3. Dogs
4. Rabbits
5. My Mom

Old friends doing wonderful things

So, did you see Tim Gunn's guide to Style on Bravo last night? The wonderful woman being outfitted was one of my oldest friends, Angela Jia Kim.



Here are links to her websites:

Her Piano Site

Her new skin care line, OM Aroma

And her new social networking site

I am so proud of her!

Is a true friend a "yes" friend?

I don't think so. Telling people only what they want to hear can make a weak person weaker. A strong friend will be truthful -- even if that means saying something that isn't popular or easy to hear.

And here is a little gripe I have lately --

If you truly want advice, then accept what is offered to you, thank those who offer it and move on. If you would rather just state what you think so that others will agree with you and and give you kudos for a job well done, then fine. Say so. Don't disguise it as a looking for advice.

It seems like there are so many people who think

What should I do? = Tell me what I already did was right.

End of gripe session today.

Am I weird?

There seems to be fascination with Ninjas and Pirates. The obsession has even filtered into my favorite online game, Pack Rat.

Well, I hate Ninjas and Pirates.

What's wrong with me?
