Evidently, the only books and articles that get attention have numbers in their title. (That’s why most everything we read begins with something like — “20 Tricks…”14 Things…” “15 reasons…” OH! And 7 Tenets of Taxi Terry — which you can pre-order now and thank me later.)
I’m not sure if it’s because I’m lazy or always pressed for time, but I’ve been known to give those with the smaller numbers (especially when it comes to articles) more attention. If there’s 3 things I can do to be more successful I’ll pick that over 50 things every single time. So today, I want to share an article I found today, “The ONE Thing You Need To Win Any Battle in Life.” After reading it, I think the title is wrong. Clearly it should’ve been “The TWO Things…”
Not to spoil it for you guys, I’ll only say that Colette’s aunt — when attempting to capture photos/videos of her — has the concept nailed:

I haven’t posted lately because… I’ve been too busy trying to make appointments for therapy massages and chiropractor visits. I’m a mess, you guys. Limiting my time behind this ole’ computer screen ensures that when I’m sitting down I’m also working. See that photo to the left? My favorite brother commented, “I do believe that’s the thinnest I’ve ever seen you.” Think I’ll have sympathy in my heart for him again? I’d say… doubtful.
Until about 2 weeks ago I swore I’d never visit a chiropractor. Ever. Now… I can’t wait to get there even though I’ve yet to see much improvement. The neck cracking thing? Still not used to that totally unnatural sound and wish I could skip over that part, but I try to think of something else and know it’s over quickly. I was surprised to find that my neck is a problem along with my sciatica issue. My neck feels just fine.
And for the record… for those of you that may not have had a chiropractic experience, please don’t think that a therapy massage is like any other massage you’ve ever had. It’s not a spa. It isn’t relaxing or fun. Once I’m on my stomach and can no longer see the cute 100 pound female about to do the “massage” I would swear she’s a sumo wrestler with elbows made of steel. Still… I have about an hour before my appointment, and I’m counting the minutes.
I’m doing this with determination like a BOSS. Here’s pretty much what I look like heading for the torture chair and my next adjustment:

A whopping 50 degree high today with rain and dreary, gray skies. Really, Spring? Is this the BEST you could do? No games of chase the tennis ball today because I don’t own a pair of hip waders.
As I was talking to my favorite sister in law on the phone this afternoon, I mentioned the viral video of the cat saving the child from being eaten by a vicious dog. (Libby and Gracie swear it’s a fake!) I couldn’t believe it when she told me she hadn’t seen it! CLICK RIGHT HERE if you missed it too. It’s short and because it doesn’t include sound, you can check it out even if you’re at work and no one will ever know.
Then she asked, “How do you find all this stuff?!?“
Rather than overwhelm her with the multiple sites I subscribe to or the lists of pages included in my Flipbook and Zite apps — I simply gave her 3 URLs that I figure will keep her busy for awhile. Just in case you’re not planning on throwing a tennis ball today either, I’ll share them with you too… and hope you find at least one thing of interest:
- Mashable — http://mashable.com
Seriously, if you can’t find something here of interest EVERY SINGLE DAY, just go watch T.V.
- LifeHack — http://lifehack.org
Here you’ll find tips on life. Plain and simple. Go here and get motivated.
- Sad and Useless — http://sadanduseless.com
The most depressive humor site on the Internet (their words, not mine), and most often times I can at least get a snicker from the crazy photos they share.
That’s it! Extreme variety with only 3 options — hope you enjoy!

I’ve not been around because I’ve been struggling with the letter “P” — somewhere between Projects and Personal is where you would find me.
As an aside… just typing this reminds me of my son’s kindergarten graduation. He had to recite a few lines and his opening was, “My name is Mr. Q.” Of course, I thought he was brilliant. I recorded him onstage and pulled out the old VHS tape a few years back to save on DVD. I was totally amazed at how southern he sounded and how s l o w l y he talked. Funny, because today he doesn’t sound like that at all. It’s ME who has the horrid southern accent.
I wanted to at least share something so you guys would know I’m alive. So here’s proof that someone likes the sunshine and warm weather almost as much as I do.

Couldn’t catch the new drips because he was too busy cleaning up the old drips. That’s how life is too sometimes, isn’t it? We’re so busy trying to catch up on what we should’ve done yesterday, we miss a whole lot of today. But maybe it’s just me…
I got a call over the weekend from Perry’s family inviting me to a fish fry/cookout in mid-June. MID-JUNE, you guys! I don’t even know what I’m going to be doing this upcoming weekend. If I were the host, I’d be calling to say, “Hey… wanna come to eat tomorrow?”
