Advice from Someone Somewhere

I found a few pieces of advice that I just needed to share with someone! Someone's mother probably said them I'm sure... I know mine has said a few of them. I guess it just takes time  and maturity to realize that "mama is usually always right!"

ONE. - When you say "I'm sorry", look the person in the eye.

TWO - Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.

THREE - Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much.

FOUR - Be engaged at least six months before you get married. (My mother would then say... no dating until your married)

FIVE - When you say "I love you"... mean it.

SIX - Don't judge people by their relatives.

SEVEN - Talk slowly. Think quickly.

EIGHT - Smile while picking up the phone. The caller will hear it.

NINE - When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

TEN - Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

Letters From Jane

Today, I am cheating. But I was asked to proof read this amazing piece for a close friend that is going in our school newspaper and I just had to share it with the rest of the world! Its fabulous and I am in love with it! Its not long, but short and sweet and to the point and I am just so proud of this "Lil' Lady"!

Without further delay;

"I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon." ~Unknown

As Women of the world we are programmed to believe that love will find us and that Valentine’s Day is the day for magic and sparkle. Prince charming (aka the cute guy from trades you’ve had your eye on) is going to come and rescue your lonely cat loving lives. In reality we just secretly pray we get through the day without our mother bugging us about an upcoming date and/or our dad not commenting on the fact that we already ate all of his chocolate chip ice cream ... in one seating... oops!
But seriously girls if you want to have a great v-day, do it with the people you love. That is what this day is really about! I love my girlfriends! I couldn’t make it through most days without them, so take this Valentine’s Day and show those loved ones that you truly care!

Lack of Posts

I know I know.... I'm a horrible blogger. It has been forever since my last post and I do apologize deeply (to those of you still interested).

Between, homework, tourism events, the new research assistant position, the new beau  in my life, fundraising and my bestest girlfriends, I haven't been able to spend 5 mins to write a quick post! I've even been horrible with catching up with some of my friends I don't see every day... I'm sorry Caitlin and Pam!

I had the Fire and Ice event this past week, to raise money for water wells in Africa. The partnership with the Rotary Club and my school made $25,000! Way to go! Pics to follow as soon as I get them from Catherine!

Fundraising for my trip to Belize has been a headache and a half and has taken over my life! Who knew it was going to be so much work! My class has purchased a canoe to sell tickets on.... I think it would just be easier to canoe our way to Central America!

Research assistant job is going well... read more at.... Wine Tourism Research  .

So sorry for the lack of post! ;)
