I know I say it every year, but where did the time go?
I can’t believe it is 2005!
Weren’t we just recently worrying about Y2K?
I mean think of this – people born in 1980 will be turning 25 this year . . . whoa!

Just thought I’d share!

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot
strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage
earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood
of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by
discouraging the rich. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed
money. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You
cannot build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative and
independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they
could and should do for themselves.

-Abraham Lincoln

. . . Did Christmas become only about lists of things we want other people to buy for us. I mean it is understandable in small children, but when we become adults shouldn’t we be able to focus on the TRUE meaning of Christmas (the birth of the savior Jesus Christ) and not get so wrapped up in gifts and stuff.

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?
****************************************************
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like
sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep
the chips and dip coming.
* Alan, age 10

No person really decides before they grow up who they’re going to
marry.
God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who
you’re stuck with.
* Kirsten, age 10
******************************************************************

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by
then.
* Camille, age 10

No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get
married.
* Freddie, age 6 (Very wise for his age)
******************************************************************

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at
the same kids.
* Derrick, age 8
******************************************************************

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

Both don’t want any more kids.
* Lori, age 8
******************************************************************

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

It’s better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need
someone to clean up after them.
* Anita, age 9
******************************************************************

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN’T GET MARRIED?

There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn’t there?
* Kelvin, age 8
******************************************************************

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck.
* Ricky, age 10

Sometimes life has a nasty way of wearing you out . . . Lucky for me Scott has agreed to take a few days for us (just as a couple) to recouperate. I am SO excited. We are going to a B&B in South Lake Tahoe I can hardly wait for the weekend.

Today Scott and I officially became members of the church we have been attending for about two years. It is so nice to have found a church where we can feel at home. The great part about MPPC is that it is a large church, but we have still been able to develop a small church group of friends who we treasure!
For more info . . . check out MPPC

I just found out that (lucky me) I will be rotating out of my current group (Special Assets) and into a new group (Middle Market) in the next few days. I know that rotating is part of my job, but does it really make sense to move me when I have 2 months left before maternity leave? I just think it is a waste of resources . . . I mean I will need time to figure out the dynamics of the new group and by the time I have that down it will be almost time to go. Not to mention that the Holidays are one of the slowest times in Banking . . .
Oh well I just wanted to point out that it is not really fun to have little or no control over your own career!

1) When there’s only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn’t you.
2) Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.
3) Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones.
4) Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor you’re on.
5) Hold the doors open and say you’re waiting for your friend. After a while, let the doors close and say, “Hi Greg. how’s your day been?”
6) Bring a cat basket and take a nap in the corner.
7) Bounce a superball around the elevator.
8) Light a cigarette and tell people, “Smokey Bear doesn’t know what the heck he’s talking about!”
9) Drop a pen and wait until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream, “That’s mine!”
10) Stand in the corner reading a telephone book, laughing uproariously.
11) Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.
12) Move your desk in to the elevator and whenever someone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.
