Okies, since its Monday and you know I hate mondays. "You must have the case of the mondays." -Office Space. I still find that funny. But for some strange reason I feel sort of upbeat. OH! I know its because I am off today. So, being in an upbeat mood with caffeine added here's something to think about: (see the complete list)
