    I love your quote! Much more inspiring than the one I chose (which makes fun of people and is essentially mean...ugh.)

    Lost it! Seems one of my celebrations for small things is not going bonkers every week, when the garbage truck sets off the car alarm! This week a neighbor chimed in and started blowing his horn until I could race out there and turn it off...don't think he's too happy when my car goes off every week...

    Timing is everything...both these quotes were read before the weekly noise tradition, and both make perfect sense - even made me smile when the neighbor chimed in...thanks, ladies :)

      You are so kind! And I love the image you conjured of your innocent attempts to stave off neighbor-rage. I'm totally doing that now as I curse the neighbors with garages who take up spaces on our street. Thanks for checking us out!

      Yes, I've learned so much just by visiting everyone's blogs. There are really some wonderful, thoughtful writers out there.

    Great accomplishments, guys! Although I would prefer the girl's night out to all the exercise (makes me tired just thinking about it). :)

      Too true - too true... I left out the part where my bike ride was ten minutes though. Does that help?

    Thanks for visiting my blog recently. Congrats on your achievements this week. Unfortunately, due to illness, I didn't get to post a 'new post' for Friday but hopefully will be back on track next week.
