So working in my industry and spending my entire day corresponding with people. The following are the list of pet peeves I have acquired that usually cause fits of annoyed yet entertained laughter:
1.) people who speak in pronouns
2.) emails with no subject lines
3.) emails where the entire content of the email is in the subject line and the body is empty.
4.) people who ask questions in a reply to an email that they obviously didn't read because had they read it they would have the answer to their question.
5.) voicemails in which people don't leave their phone number or they do leave their phone number but only say it once and at lightening speed.
Hahaha ... I swear I am going to start a business etiquette consulting firm! Until the economy is a little more conducive to me starting such a venture I will just keep giggling and keeping a list of these things and call it research.
Oh, how I love the characters that are human beings!

The right side of the bed
So the past couple of months, with the exception of the fabulousness that was our wedding, life has been a bit of ummmmmm ...shall we say a bitch (please excuse my language)!
Life has been testing me that's for sure. I kinda feel like life has been Will Smith's character is 7 Pounds and I have been all those people being tested to see if they were still good and kind when people or life was cruel and unfair. If you don't get what I am saying, I highly recommend checking out the movie. Warning: it's very emotionally intense.
Anyway, what I am trying to say is that I refuse to be anything less than fabulous. As the Parrotheads say, "No bad days!" I will not let life kick my butt; situations can be wretched, but I refuse to be.
I woke this morning inspired ... feeling like myself again. Amazing what not having to get up four times in the middle of the night with the dogs can do for your outlook on life. ;)
So anyway, watch out world! I love my life, my husband, my family, my family of friends, and all the wonderful variations to my days.
My name is Bonnie and I found the right side of the bed this morning!

My New Year's Resolutions
I don't normally make resolutions, but I think I can keep these ones and they are worth striving for anyhow ... so here they are:
1) Communicate better, more fairly, and more often
2) Laugh more
3) Love deeper and stronger
4) Be thankful
5) Be a better friend
6) Fulfill more of my life's passions
I think that sounds like a good year's work.
