Misc. musings of the week:

*Did you know today is National Doughnut Day?
Ok…I’ll bite…
Where’s my Doughnut???

*Gay Marriage
I really don’t understand the big uproar by some organizations/groups/people over gay marriage.
Please tell me….how does the union of a gay couple effect your life….
Really….
It doesn’t.
So why can you live and let live?

*Wall-E
Hubs and I (well ok…it was just me as hubs fell asleep) watched Wall-E last weekend.
And honestly…I get the message…Really….
But I still thought it was a lame movie

*Social Security
Every year (at least I think it’s every year) we get a statement of what we have earned as far as social security goes and what we would qualify for when we retire.

When I retire at 62 (you don’t really think I’m going to work til 67 let alone 70 do you???) I will get xx amount of dollars. Combined with hub’s social security and our retirement we should be sitting pretty well in our old age….
If social security is still here and viable.

*Got Milk?
I learned something yesturday.
You cannot drink a gallon of milk in one hour….and keep it down.
I got that second hand from a friend whos son tried it on a dare.

I searched on-line for more information and it appears that this is true. Even if (and that is a HUGE if) you managed to drink the entire gallon of milk your body will not let you keep it down.

My guess is it’s due to the lactose.
Your body simply cannot tolerate that much!

*Marketing
I love marketing..especially for small business and am always reading up and talking to other small business owners on their marketing platform.

So imagine my delight at coming across a delightful company (based here in Seattle) and their marketing strategy! They offer customers the chance to submit mockumercials using Utilikilts!

I love Utilikilts but I don’t know of any male that wears one!

Check out the CALL ME mockumercial.
I LOVE this one!
What a marketing concept!

*Stellar Week
This week was a stellar one and a bit unusual for us in the Puget Sound area! We’ve had an entire week of 80-90 degree weather. I think we broke 92 yesturday and I finally had to break out the fan last night.

I’m hoping summer weather has arrived a bit early this year!
