At least the birds here didn't have to fly to far to find green grass, but they must be so confused!

Commute was no issue either, once I got dug out of Prescott. I hear it's supposed to be 90+ degrees next week. I feel sorry for the birds. Yep…no snow over here in Bloomington, MN.

Crazy! The snow day part was fine, but we could have lived without the power outage. At least we got homework out of the way.... Tim said there was green grass 20 minutes from our house. Crazy!

It got criticized for being an ad, but I don't have a problem with that at all. I thought about going into advertising at one point (do all English majors?), but that wouldn't have meant that I wouldn't have wanted to tell good stories or believe in what I was doing. The thing from the video that stuck with me the most was how one of the women used her mother's negative description of her chin. I'm sure her mother didn't mean to be hurtful, but we can all see through the guise of someone saying things to be "helpful." I liked it, too.

I'm still learning about human nature and what we can and can't control in ourselves and in others. But I'm reassured by this story and the idea that we do have some choice.
