Maybe I should do this weekly instead of daily. I don't know why I have such problems doing this one little post each day. I write tons all day! Anyway, here it is:
Day 3:
soccer - even when my team is awful, and I get cranky when we lose, it is still good exercise. Plus, Sporting played tonight and they didn't lose, so that was nice
cheese- I love the Good Natured Family Farms white cheddar. I really do think I could eat a whole block all at one time.
babies - I don't have any, but the ones of friend's sure are fun. The one that visited last night sure was a cutie, even though she woke me up multiple times in the night. That's ok. She's a keeper.

Day 2 of Gratitude
These days might have to not be in order. It might just be that I post when I think about it because I am horrible about this lately.
Today:
mexican food - Chipotle for lunch. Enchiladas for dinner and tomorrow we're having Mexican too
cushy shoes - went for a long walk, I love wearing tennis shoes, much better than heels
chats with friends - hadn't talked to a friend in quite a while, had a 48 minute chat with her tonight to catch up.

Re-do 21 days of Gratitude
Day 1:
Rain - I cut two lawns today. The grass was really thick because of the recent rain. We need more
Football - I've been pretty lazy the rest of the day watching football. Chiefs won, now 4-0. All rejoice.
Baseball - Royals finished the season with a winning record and a win today. All rejoice.

Short person problems
I've got a beef with retailers lately. Not mine necessarily, but all of them. Or maybe it should be with Ozarka for not paying for prime shelf space.
This ramble is about sparkling water, but really it's about better research and better knowledge of the product's core shopper.
I'm going to go out on a pretty thick limb and say that the majority of consumers that buy Ozarka Sparkling water (or any Sparkling water for that matter) are women. Probably young, and probably not poor. Being that the average female in the U.S. is approx 5'4'', let's consider what happens when litre bottles of water are removed from the top shelf of the sparkling water section. Oh yes, after those first two are gone, you know what happens retailers? I CAN'T REACH THE OTHER ONES!
Now I'm willing to place the blame also on the stores that don't face their product. But, even if they did face the product, that would still only bring forward 2, maybe 3 bottles. I usually buy 5. Why? A week is 5 days long. When I can only reach 2 or 3, guess how many I buy?
I know shelf space is well thought out and important, but can we help a girl out here?

Back
So much for 21 days of gratitude huh? I got to day 2. Which means I really should just start over again.
It's interesting, I've been thinking about blogging here again for quite sometime, but couldn't think of where I left off. I knew there were New Year's resolutions somewhere on here (not followed, in typical American form). But I really couldn't remember what else was here.
I have decided though that I need to write more often. Not just for Advertising Week, which I do, and not just for work, which I do. But here... Random venting or appreciation or thoughts of what's going on. It'll help sort things out in my head I think. Sometimes I need that. Just to write. The anonymity of the audience helps. I have no idea who is here or who would even like to be here, but sometimes it's better that way. Just writing, no thinking.
I'm gonna try again. Here goes...

Selective Hearing
Day 2 of 21 days of gratitude:
pizza - had it for dinner, love it
mac book air - traveled for work, so light!
toe nail polish - pretty toes!
Favorite moment of the day:
Mom: Do you think when we are reincarnated we have to come back in a future life or can we come back in the past?
Dad: Are you asking me a question or am I just selectively hearing you?

21 days of gratitude
I went to a management conference a few weeks ago and a guy named Shawn Achor gave a talk about The Happiness Advantage. Essentially, we can train ourselves to be positive, thus relating to happier. He said some pretty interesting stuff, but at the end, gave 5 ways people could live a more positive life. He has a quick TED talk if you're interested, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXy__kBVq1M.
I decided I'm going to try one of his tactics. The one I'm giving a shot first is 21 days of gratitude. For 21 days, I have to list 3 things I'm grateful for. Each day I have to pick 3 different things than what has already been listed. Instead of scanning my atmosphere for negatives, I'm going to train myself to think of the positives.
Welcome to Day 1.
Mom (duh, Mother's day), sunshine (was a beautiful day) and short hangovers (Mitch's graduation party was last night).
