High Fives: 01/31/09
I’m struggling to find some high fives this week. Every morning I have been woken up to my alarm clock blaring NPR news stories like … RECORD UNEMPLOYMENT! BIGGEST DROP IN GDP! WE’RE ALL GOING TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET! And don’t even get me started on the whole Wall Street Executive bonus payout story. Why can’t they throw in a little happy happy now and again? Perhaps more cute puppy stories?
On with the Fives:
- I just found a new Twitter-er? Twitter-i? Twitter-ite? to follow. I know, maybe it’s a bit depressing to look at, but I love the Internet. Or more appropriate, I love the people on the internet. Always wanting to inform.
- Whatever your opinion is on the Iraq war, I think it’s always moving to hear someone say: “I just voted and I’m very happy.” I know that feeling and I’m proud that our troops had something to do with it. Sure the reasons for going to war was a big farce, but even positive things can happen in the middle of mistakes.
- “I believe life is good.” Listen to the audio. It’ll make your heart melt.
- I am officially answering the call to service and volunteering for this place. I am redoing the website and sitting on the marketing committee. Sadly, the teal has to stay.
- Oh yeah, you can also do some good to by participating in the:

Shameless!
In the interest of full disclosure, please note that product links redirecting you to other sites such as Amazon
, BlueHost, Freshbooks and OpenSky may take you a purchase page of a company where I am a member of an affiliate program. As a result, I will often get a small percentage of the revenue or a commission off of something you have purchased. I am not otherwise paid to link to these sites, nor do I link to any products that I don't actually use or covet in real life. On the rare occasion I accept payment to review a product, it will be duly noted in its associated post.
Have no fear - you are under no obligation to buy anything to get the full enjoyment of this site. We can still be friends even if you never click on an affiliate link. Rest assured, this is all low pressure. I will never show up at your door with tiny vials of Avon perfume or trial jars of pearl cream to entice you. That said, I do truly appreciate when you do purchase something from a linked site - it all helps to keep the lights on and a roof over our heads.
