Keep Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

Last night, The Beast got hold of the remote control for the DVD/CD player in my car (okay, I gave it to him to keep him occupied...) and managed to get one of the CDs to play. It was one of the "Glitta" CDs that I haven't heard in ages. The first song that came up was "Rollin'" by Limp Bizkit. He quickly turned it off (right when it was about to say "shut the f%^& up and back the f$%& up before we f$%^ this track up." yikes. serendipitous timing on his part!). But it was there to greet me in the car this morning. Strangely enough, I found it really pumped me up and got me going this morning, even though I'm still suffering from a Daylight Saving Time "hangover."

I just took the "What Dog Breed are You?" quiz from Dogster. Very pleased with the results. :)

The Caretaker

Your family is what makes you tick, and you never "flea" from an opportunity to hang out with the whole gang. A family picnic complete with hot dogs, deviled eggs and a refreshing swim in the lake is hard for you to stray from. Your sparky temperament and dogged intelligence mean you are not only a blast to hang out with, but great to work with as well. Your close pals appreciate your patience and forgiveness, knowing you'd rather let sleeping dogs lie than dwell on the mishaps of the past. Your dashing good looks may one day lead to a modelling career, if only you can tame the unfortunate clumsiness that sometimes causes you to go flailing from the catwalk.

Happy Tuesday!

Happy Daylight Saving Time

It was a struggle to get out of bed and ready for work today. D had to wake The Beast up at 8; he was still fast asleep! The first work day or two after "Spring Forward" always sucks. Alas.

I keep thinking March 10th is a date of some importance. I hope there's nothing crucial I'm supposed to be doing today, because it's not on my calendar! I think it may be just a holdover date--maybe the day my dog, Blackie, had puppies (albeit, 27 years ago)...? I keep random information like this in my head for far too long (and yet I'll probably forget my dad's birthday on Saturday).

I went to see my college singing group in concert this weekend at an alumni club event. I had a great time over dinner with two other alums, but the concert itself was something of a letdown. Maybe it's just because it was the first day of their spring break--and winter in Connecticut can beat you down--but they were completely lifeless and not engaging, and really didn't sing all that well. I wonder if alums thought that about us when we toured! Hmmm.

I just found out that I will be taking a Dale Carnegie course in public speaking through work at the end of April. I know it's a great idea, so I suppose I'm excited about getting better at it, but I am dreading the actual speaking part. I guess that's the whole point! I read the training summary, and apparently I will be required to present before the group at least 8 times over four sessions. My presentations will be videotaped and critiqued. Doesn't that sound like a fun way to spend 16 hours? Wish me luck.
