current exciting obsessions!

Just thought i havent written a 'current obsessions' list in a long time so here it is!

*installing the light in the back entrance tonight! yay!
*watching the snow melt in the backyard. i can see 95% of my lawn
*my new face cleanser scrub brush
*counting the days till we go on holidays
*palmers organic olive butter formula concentrated hand cream
*revlon cherry pop shiny sheers (red with out being killer!)
*the quest for the perfect ballet flat that i feel comfortable in (i'm beginning to think this could be an eternal quest. cant bring myself to wear flats. i feel too short!)
*to fake bake or not to fake bake (your opinions please!)
*trying to read wuthering heights...in the early stages...just cant seem to get into it...its my 'classic' read for the year...
*helping my parents pack up 35yrs of crap before they move into their new house. (90% needs to go in the garbage...sorry mom!)
*sad that i'm going to miss the delirious concert. but okay with it b/c i've seen them a few times already (you guys are going to have so much fun!)

I went to a really good conference last week. It was all about generational leadership and how each generation (baby boomers/genX/genY etc) lead and work in the workplace. It was presented by Dr. Liz Sayer from the Sayer Institute through the CWC (canadian women in communications). She took us through the DISC system last year, which i've done on a few previous occasions, and this one was kind of like the next level to understanding leadership. How leaders can understand their teammates thinking patterns and values through generational lines. Very cool. Cant wait to read the book we got 'the leadership challenge' by kouzes & posner. When john maxwell calls the book "one of the five best books i have ever read. i continually recommend it to others" you know it's gotta be good!

Can't wait for Maximum Impact in a few weeks! woo hoo!

Today's amazing (but true) fact:

Human tonsils can bounce higher than a rubber ball of similar weight and size, but only for the first 30 minutes after they've been removed.



I still have my tonsils....is that weird???


off to watch the snow melt...

You gotta know it was some sick intern who discovered the whole tonsil thing!

Don't fake'n'bake...it contributes to skin cancer because it gives you a false sense of security when you are out in the real sun...and besides there's no way you could ever be whiter than me!
