Here it is in bullet points...

• I spent way to much time this week working on a new blog design.  
• I am a perfectionist and could not decide on a design I was happy with
• I am still utilizing the same old blogger template
• wondering if people even really care baout my blog design
• I care about my blog design, so i will continue on my mission for the perfect design
• Played mario cart on the Wii with Cheryl for like 45 minutes on Friday night.  She is much better at that game than I am.
• Had a delightful dinner with good friends on Saturday night and ate myself into enchilada heaven

Your turn...somebody please tell me something random!

The Book List...

Well, I made huge strides last year in my reading. Yes, I have always known how to read, but actually making it through a whole book is a different story. The reading makeover all started with a book called 1776. If you have not read it, you should.  I digress.

Here is a list of books that I read last year, as well as I list of books that I would like to read this year.  I would love to hear if you hav read any of these and what your thoughts are and if you have any suggestions for good reads.  

And, without further ado...

Stats Suck Sunday...

Well, I am trying something new here, and mostly because I love this guy's blog that much.  if you don't know how this works, go here, and Brody will fill you in.  It's basically a day for scattered randomness, that while important, may not justify dedicated blog posts at any other time.  Here it goes...

• I am in awe to learn that Brody would actually pray for Laker fans to not be Laker fans any longer.  This goes against my firm believe that God is a Laker fan.
• I am ready for the potty training part of my son's life to be over.
• I am still curious to know how the toilet paper go there.
• I love coffee and most likely will always love coffee, since I hate the headaches i get when i don't drink it.
• Wondering if I will still be selling plumbing fixtures in 5 more years.
• Amazed that I have been selling plumbing fixtures for 7 years.
• Grateful that I have a job and for God's grace.

I would love to hear your randomness!  (C'mon Trav, I know you have something random to say)

Yes, it happened to me...

OK, so I have heard of this happening to other people, and always thought it was funny, until today. 

Yes, the dreaded toilet paper stuck to the bottom of your shoe incident, or in my case, stuck nicely inside the bottom of my pant leg with just enough sticking out to be embarrassing.  The funny thing is, I don't even know how it happened. It was early in the day, and I had not even gone to the bathroom yet.  Well, at least not in the manner that requires the use of toilet paper.  Need I continue?

Well, I had just opened up the store and had finished helping a nice, older couple pick out a new kitchen faucet.  As I walked down to our warehouse to see if it was in stock, I noticed that there was something white sticking out around my shoe.  I quickly looked down and back and realized it was toilet paper.  I then proceeded to pull it out, and it was about 8 inches long.  I am pretty sure the customer never noticed, but as I was pulling it out, my boss was walking into the store.  He just looked at me and shook his head.

Here is the real head-scratcher though; how did it get there? Honestly I had not even used toilet paper yet, and I know that nobody was able to stick it in my pant leg without me noticing.  HOW DID IT GET THERE?  

Has anyone else had an equally embarrassing experience?  I would love to hear the story!
