1. I was on the old Classmates.com website as I am getting an influx of emails in preparation for my 10 year reunion. (I'm sorry if that makes you feel old/young but so it is!) I've talked to three different people who are planning this reunion.  Interesting.  But anyway, I was scanning through some names and it made me sad to see how many people are divorced and even more sad to see that one friend (who really was a friend) is in prison.  It's really sad to see what happens to people when they make bad choices.

2. The cafeteria at work subsidizes the food. This is AWESOME! I just ate a huge breakfast for $2.15.

3. I made like 3 different training manuals for different things that have, somehow, magically disappeared.  How is this possible????

4. Is it just me, or is Paula Cole just really, really bitter?

5. It'll be interesting to see how the people I went to highschool with have changed (or not changed.)  Who knew that Peggy with her nose pierced would become an insanely domestic Mormon girl??

6. I'm wearing one of Scott's shirts under my sweater today.  Why have I never thought of this? The sleeves are long enough to poke out of the end of my sweater and the collar stays in place beautifully.  You guys don't know how good you've got it!

7. I've shared this passing point with many of you on an individual basis, but I think it bears repeating:  At some point in the day, EVERYONE looks in the mirror and says to themselves, "okay, this will work."  My concern is the perception of some about what is okay.  Example: a dress short enough to show the top of your knee-highs is NOT okay.

8. American Idol is in Season 5. I was reading online about the previous Idol contestants and what they've accomplished.  It's pretty remarkable.  Some have done nothing, really, while most have record deals that have done very well and one even came out of the closet. (Not Clay, although I expect that to happen any second now.) While Simon is criticized for being shallow, I don't think it's coincidence that those with the looks have done far better than their counterparts who may or may not have more talent.

9.  I'm glad the basketball player got the boot last night.  Let this be a lesson to all you golden children out there: you are NOT the sauce simply because you're good at everything.  You're not bulletproof and aren't as admired as you may think.  People will choose humble friends before they choose cocky friends.  On that note, I am SO much better than all of you. Just kidding.

10. If you're ever really thirsty, but feel too lazy to walk all the way downstairs to the ice machine, don't think you can fool yourself by chewing gum.  It just doesn't work.
