An old, tired-looking dog wandered into the yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home. He followed me into the house, down the hall, and fell asleep on the couch.
Morgan seemed ok with him so I let him nap. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.
The next day he was back, resumed his position on the couch, and slept for an hour. This continued for several weeks.
Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: “Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap. I don’t mind but want to be sure it’s ok with you.”
The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar: “He lives in a home with ten children. He’s trying to catch up on his sleep. May I come with him tomorrow?”

Do you spend too much time at the computer? Do you struggle to find time to exercise? Do you feel like your butt is growing wider by the day? LOL Well, I have some tips for you.
Live Smarter has some tips for 20 exercises that we can do at our desks. Some of these I already knew about, but it’s easy to forget, right? I’m doing one of these exercises while I’m sitting here writing. Can you guess which one it is? ;) Which exercise will you be doing today while surfing?

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:
1) No matter how hard you try, you can’t baptise cats.
2) When your Mum is mad at your Dad, don’t let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don’t hit her back. They always catch the second person.
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can’t trust dogs to watch your food.
6) Don’t sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
You can’t hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
9) Don’t wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you’re sad is Grandpa’s lap.
GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:
1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don’t hurt.
3) Families are like fudge…mostly sweet, with a few nuts.
4) Today’s mighty oak is just yesterday’s nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise. It’s like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fibre, not the toy.
GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD
1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you’re down there.
4) You’re getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you
Once got from a roller coaster.
5) It’s frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
6) Time may be a great healer, but it’s a lousy beautician.
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.
THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:
1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don’t believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus.
4) You look like Santa Claus.
SUCCESS:
At age 4 success is . . . Not piddling in your pants.
At age 12 success is . . . Having friends.
At age 17 success is . Having a drivers licence.
At age 35 success is . . Having money.
At age 50 success is . . . Having money.
At age 70 success is . . . Having a drivers licence.
At age 75 success is . . . Having friends.
At age 80 success is . . . Not piddling in your pants.

I have a confession. This is the first time I have ever planned my meals out for the week. I think about what I’m going to cook during the week, the day before, or the day of, but I have never done a menu.
I just buy things on sale or dirt cheap (using The Grocery Game) and then I go from there. This week I’m trying something new and we’ll see how it goes. :) Yay for organization!
Sunday - Spaghetti fundraiser at church for
Haiti
Monday - Chicken taco salads
Tuesday - Fried pork chops, rice, broccoli
Wednesday - Homemade pizza
Thursday - Easy Chicken & Vegetable Bake
Friday - Taco soup (I’ve had this at church and I’m hunting for a good recipe.)
Go to Organizing Junkie to find out what everyone else is cooking this week. What’s on your menu?
Freebie Friday for 2/29/08
Happy Friday!
