five rules for life.

it dawned on me last night how lucky a girl i am. sure i complain about trivial things like having this damn cold for over a month, working till midnight, the weather, lame-o friends...but misery loves company, right? i realized that if i went on about all the things that i am truly grateful for, you'd all probably hate me...and i'd be labeled some kind of egotistical bragger. but what about bragging in moderation? i think i'm going to try it ;)

if you're not feeling so lucky in your life, maybe you should change what you're doing (not to say we couldn't all use a little brush up!) i ran across this fun submission-based site, five rules for life. here's the description from the site: 'the premise is simple - people from all walks share what they believe are the most important rules to follow for a happy, successful, and fulfilling life.' it's actually amazing how many different ideas are listed...but also how many are the same. if you have time, give them a read. there are over a hundred different lists that have been submitted. who knows, maybe you could submit one too.

and for those of you wondering why the pic of casey when you clicked in...i feel lucky to have a dog that can constantly make me laugh. 7 years later, and he's still my best companion. here he is last night, ripping the zipper to the pillow case on his bed and working his way inside. yes, he likes to be covered...and i should have known this was going to happen. am i mad? nope. how can i be when he looks so cute in there? :)
