A little tidbit of info I came across: 

"There is a saying that if you wait for the wind and weather to be just right, you will never plant anything or harvest anything. Many investors now are waiting for the market to stabilize or some other sign that the wind has stopped blowing. However, numerous studies have shown that waiting until after the market begins to recover means that you will miss much of the market's long-term returns. You have to be in the market to earn its return."

For whatever reason, our home is a magnet for praying mantises (I think that is that right word). Just the other weekend, I had to remove several plants around our porch in order to install a french drain. Upon doing so, I think I came across 4 of them. Yesterday I was outside when I noticed one on the side of our house, having a little snack!

nom nom nom!

I was going to be installing a french drain around our porch the weekend, but I have received a lovely head cold instead!  I started one of the trenches yesterday, but could only go so far until I had to call it quits.  Sick+sweaty = yuck!  I realized that I had blogged about the last time I was sick, as colds were passed around where I work ,so I went and looked it up.  It has been about 15 months since I was sick!  That's pretty sweet, no?  I don't do anything special except taking a daily multi-vitamin (when I can remember!).  Oh well, I just have to get some quality Xbox time in today!

Found this interesting article on MSN/Careerbuilder the other day about how to "properly" slack off at work.  I don't know about you, but some of these ideas would do more harm than good in my workplace, what about you?
