{TGIM...rethinking Mondays}

dreading mondays

is a ridiculous way to

spend one-seventh

of your life...

but that's the weird habit

that millions of people

have fallen into.

{from the book...5}

designate today

as

Sweet Monday

{I am}

Why is my Monday going to be so Sweet?

.... because I am

following through

with some of my

crazy ideas

{and they are turning out to be amazing}

something you will see soon

What are you doing to make your

Monday Sweet?

{i would love to know}

{I've been boondoggled}

How can something packaged up so

pretty in pink

taste so bad?

{yucky-boo-boo}

I'll tell you why...it's because they are sugarless sweets

...sweets without sugar?

{what would my grandma say about that!?}

I thought I would give them a chance...

their pretty pink wrappers where calling my name!

yes.. I would buy anything and I mean anything if it was packaged up pretty

... just look at the sweet white dots on those candy wrappers...

*sigh*

{can't you just see me in a little pink blouse with sleeves just like that}

"looks can be deceiving"

boondoggled again!

{boondoggle: to deceive or attempt to deceive}

When will I ever learn?
