Random thoughts I had today

How is it possible that I have been out of the public workforce for 7 years now? Some days it feels like just a year ago, others like an eternity. Today, it feels like it hasn't been that long. Then I think of all the life changes we have had and realize, it has been that long!

My husband is leaving his current job, for a new, exciting job, and today is his last day. Last night I could see the sadness in his eyes because he has to say goodbye to some great co-workers. I must make it a point to get them all together frequently so he can keep those friendships.

I really want to try and make myself a much stronger and more productive schedule during the work weeks. I have so many things I have said, Oh some day I will do this or that. Well why not now? As my first thought I posted above hit me today, it also hit me that I haven't completed many things that I could have with all the time I am given.

My last thought for now is that my asparagus I am roasting in the oven smells amazing so I better take it out and enjoy it!

Packaging IN a Barbie

My daughter is 5. Her birthday was in November and she received a couple of Barbie dolls. Christmas came she received a couple more Barbie dolls. I just have to give you my opinion on the packaging of said Barbie dolls. Why oh why do the put plastic tabs through the dolls head/hair that you can't take out? Seriously! one of my favorite parts of playing with Barbies when I was little was doing their hair. Now you have two rods sticking out the back? Who's idea was this? 

I use nail clippers and get as close to the head as I can but it's still sticking out some. Do you have tips? What am I missing? 

One other small opinion on Barbie....I don't care how skinny she is, how trendy she is, all the normal complaints don't bother me. What bothers me is her new eye lashes! Have you seen those things? I'm a little jealous cause I can't get my false lashes to stay on like that! Talk about setting a girl up for disappointment!
