Jesus approves

This packaging from Ralph Lauren completely made my day!  It was complementary -even for my sale items.  

I really don't know why gift boxes, tissue paper and ribbons make me so glad - but I would have to place this gift box second only to tiffany's packaging.  

And of course Jesus said "ye of little faith" but who would have thought packaging this good would be free?

SERENDIPITY

1.  the faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident - American Heritage Dictionary

2.  good luck in making unexpected and fortunate discoveries - Wordnet

We had a perfect example of serendipity yesterday thanks to Trish.  Co and I stopped at the pharmacy to get a new pinky ball because his was lost in a particularly aggressive game of bounce back (Lee was playing -imagine that.)  Colonial didn't have pinky balls!  Colby was pretty bummed because he uses his ball against the garage almost every day especially when I am sleeping.

But the serendipity was that we parked next to trish, who was running errands and she happened to have a pinky ball at 139 main, which she had purchased to send to Colby at camp!  How weird is that?!

I love the word serendipity, because it sounds just like what it means.  It also reminds me of frozen hot chocolate from Serendipity in NYC, which was serendipitously located two blocks from the hospital  I had to spend two weeks at when I was 17.

What is serendipitous in your life?

So what's up with the euthanizing of our language.  If you change the name you call something does it really change what it is, or just your perception of what it is?

Yes, you got it it - I am talking about the DEVIL RAYS.  Of course we can't call them just the "rays"(said with a smile and a cute tilt of the head) especially when they are 2 and half games up.   Why did they have to drop the devil from their name - its so lame now.  "The Rays" - what is that? rays of sunshine?  Its certainly not a devil ray or a manta ray or anything you would want to name your team after.  Rays of sunshine lose in every matchup of mascots.  

Also on the list is the TRAFFIC CIRCLE.  Roundabout? Never.  Its always going to be the Traffic circle.  Maybe Jacks could do a new slogan - meet me at the traffic circle.  

On a darker note - how about "Ethnic Cleansing".  Lets just call that what it really is - SLAUGHTER.

And if we turn to KING CORN, there are a myriad of possibilities.  "Processed Food" = JUNK FOOD.  "Hfcs" = "TCBY" 

And finally, how about "partly cloudy" which really is "WE HAVE NO IDEA".

I am sure you have some good examples of this, tell me your favorites.
