A is for Awesome

And for Alex Wong who I'm betting is going to win this season's So You Think You Can Dance. He's a ballet dancer from Vancouver (another reason why he's great) and he proves it in this dance that he can indeed tackle any style.

Forgetfulness

The other morning, I opened the microwave and saw a ziplock bag with ground beef inside. The other night, I opened the oven and saw four taco shells on a baking sheet inside.

I think Sheldon is getting early-onset Alzheimer's.

Warning! This may not be true.

The increased testosterone flowing through Connor's body due to puberty has spawned many arguments lately that included threats to beat his brother up. This card that Aidan created for Connor's 14th birthday contains evidence of this but there's also a slight glimmer of hope that deep down inside they may love each other.

But then again, it may not be true.

Snow at the end of April?

14 and counting

Happy 14th anniversary, Sheldon.

Happy 14th birthday, Connor.

Let me introduce...

my newest niece, Jessica Mei-Yin Lee-Wen.

Now if only I can convince hubby to fly me Down Under to meet my little namesake.

Marketing 101 for Men

Thanks to The Friend's Hubby for sharing this with me.

1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I am very rich. Marry me!" That's direct marketing.

2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you say, "He's very rich. Marry him!" That's advertising.

3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say, " Hi, I'm very rich. Marry me!" That's telemarketing.

4. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie. You walk up to her and pour her a drink. You open the door of the car for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride, and then say, "By the way, I'm rich. Will you marry me?" That's public relations.

5. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says, "You are very rich! Can you marry me?" That's brand recognition.

6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I am very rich. Marry me!" She gives you a nice hard slap on your face. That's customer feedback.

7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I am very rich. Marry me!" and she introduces you to her husband. That's demand and supply gap.

8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person approaches and tells her, "I'm rich. Will you marry me?" and she goes with him. That's competition eating into your market share.

9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say, "I'm rich. Marry me!" your wife arrives. That's restriction for entering new markets.
