This morning I was fortunate enough to be able to sleep in (almost 9 o'clock!). Such a luxury.

It's a cool 72 degrees and cloudy, with a great breeze. We'll probably have some spotty showers throughout the day, but just for this morning the weather was perfect for sitting on the deck, drinking a cup of coffee and enjoying the peace.

So I did.

Which reminded me of the mornings I could only enjoy my deck from the inside, looking out, like the morning pictured here, from just a few short months ago - a cardinal on my deck, in snow!

Good morning, everyone. Enjoy.

Commercial I love....

O.k., so I'm still on the tv commercials theme...

But here is one I love:

These three little guys getting their groove on as they go back to school just never fails to crack me up.

Enjoy.

Food for thought

A dear friend sent me an email today that contained the line:

"A friend will help you move. A good friend will help you move a body."

As someone who has been through a divorce, I found it hilarious. Hope it made you smile, too.

Annoying tv commercials, volume 47

I don't know too many men who consume yogurt.
Women consume a lot of yogurt.
So if I were a yogurt company, and some ad exec came to me with the idea of a very young, very blonde, very pretty woman pushing her grocery cart along the dairy aisle, and then pausing in front of the yogurt display, I'd probably be onboard.

Up to the point....

Where the very young, blonde, pretty woman yanks the foil seal off of a package, shoves the package onto her face and proceeds to suck the yogurt out with such force (talent?) that the little plastic container crumples towards her mouth. She then sheepishly wipes the non-existant smear of (ahem) yogurt from her face.

So just who is the target demographic for this ad, eh?

I used to buy this brand's yogurt.
You damn betcha I'm not buying it anymore.
