Some things I have decided

• Henceforth, February shall be known as Funk-uary. As in, "I am in a funk" or as in "I love winter and it's so funky" or as in "February stinks, it's smells funky"- You be the decider. In any case, please begin using it immediately. As in "Let's meet on the 17th of Funkuary."

• The post office needs to have a drive thru. Not just for dropping off mail, but also for buying postage. If they can put an ATM in a drive thru lane, they can do the same thing with the postage machine. GET WITH IT USPS! Ideally, they should have at least 5-6 lanes so that I never have to wait.

• Gas stations that are located in climates that reach temperatures of -10 degrees or colder should have gas pumps that are enclosed in giant bays. (Kind of like mini-storage places). Also the bays should be heated. The Dude says that fumes would be a problem. I say make it large and install ventilation.

• Babies must take naps. Babies who don't take naps will be sent to grandma's house. With no return address. This goes double for babies who aren't in their cribs sound asleep by the time "Heroes" comes on.
  

• Amazon's return policy sucks and I hate them.

• Anyone who calls my cell phone 3 times within 2 minutes in a non-emergency situation, and then doesn't even leave a message, shall forfeit their phone privileges for one week.

• I would really like to take a vacation. I probably need some kind of vacation. Sadly, a trip to Ireland to see Ms. Huis is not in the cards at this time. :( I am really good at coming up with vacation plans for me- but not so good with this whole planning a "family" vacation thing. I now know why my parents only ever took my sister and I to the North Shore, the Laura Ingalls Wilder museum or Mount Rushmore.

• It should be socially acceptable to trip able bodied people who insist on shuffling and refuse to pick up their feet. Especially when those people are just randomly shuffling around the aisles of the local Target.
  

That is all.
