Here’s your giggle for the day: I don’t know why adult, zip up, sock monkey, footie pajamas exist, but it makes me happy that they do.

The Happiest 5K
Yes, I participated in two 5K’s in one week. I know, ridiculous. They just happened to fall six days apart and I wanted to run in both. One because I believed in the cause, one because I wanted to encourage a friend of mine who was racing in his first ever 5K! Plus, it’s an…
Surprising Manicures
Meet Marla, my coworker and teammate extraordinaire. These are her hands. No, she did not paint her nails while impaired. She allowed one of our patients to paint her nails. We had goals to work on fine motor control and stability exercises for this little girl who loved to have her own nails painted. So…
Dabbling in Thievery
My conscience is needling me. I have something to confess. I stole this week. Twice. But before you report me, let me explain. I went to [a local store, omitted to protect the innocent] to pick up a few items, one of which was a pack of Chapstick to donate to a charity drive going…
5K for the 27M
Slavery still exists. I wonder how many people know that. And it’s not a little problem. There are more slaves in the world today that at any other time in history. 27 million men, women and children are enslaved. I first heard about this modern day plight at Passion 2012. I learned more of the…
Our Crazy English Language
Yes, I’m nerdy. I freely, and of my own accord read a book about the English language, linguistics, history, and the evolution of language. Here’s a small tidbit that made me smile. “Language, never forget, is more fashion than science, and matters of usage, spelling and pronunciation tend to wanter around like hemlines.” The Mother…
A Hospitable Life
Sometimes I see people. I hold doors. I help carry boxes. I let them in traffic. I send encouraging notes. Too much of the time, I don’t see people. I rush past them onto the elevator. I miss seeing them in the lunchroom. I fail to follow up on their rough days. I am too…
FOMO
FOMO is an epidemic. I am a FOMO sufferer… and you might be too. I will fight FOMO. FOMO stands for Fear Of Missing Out. It’s the anticipatory angst I have when invited to two events the same night and I have to choose. It’s the feeling of sinking I have when I know fun…
Traffic and Surprises
“Holy Traffic, Batman!” That was the start of a particularly distressing series of texts last night. I was meeting friends at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for a special Friday the 13th event. I thought I was meeting four friends, not three million of my closest friends! I left work, drove toward Disney, sat in traffic for…
The Breakfast Club
I’m a movie geek. I love movies. Watching them. Analyzing them. Listening to commentaries. And above all, quoting them. There are few situations in life that don’t remind me of some show or movie scene. I quote movies obsessively. So much so that after I speak a particularly well-crafted sentence, more than one person has…
