Happy Hump Day

Isn't this a fabulous image to start hump day? I thought so. The image of course if  of Mrs. Obama on her first visit (as first lady) to NYC giving the opening remarks at the Time Magazine's 100 gala. She was also being honored as one of the 100 most influential people. And yes, the President made the list too.   I really liked the image where you could see the entire dress but she wasn't smiling so I opted for this one. Oprah wrote the piece for Time. See it here.  Also, there is a blog post in the Chicago Tribune about whether or not her image is changing. See that post here. I personally don't believe her image has changed. I just believe its how its now being interpreted. I for one has seen her as fabulous as she was the day her husband announced he was running.  

Also, in signing into my gmail, I noticed one of my old college classmates (and good friend) has a new article up so I thought I would post the link to it here - way to go Kim! Love seeing your name in the bylines

Well here's hoping you enjoy the rest of the day. 

Articles for your reading pleasure.

Hope you had a great Super Bowl weekend. I had no intentions of watching the game but my mom definitely did. When I got to her house I could hear the TV as soon as I got out of my car. I thought surely the  Cardinals - after the two touchdowns were gonna win - so much so I left early in the fourth quarter only to hear the Steelers came back. Gotta love it! Congrats to them. 

I have come across some really great articles over the last couple of days.  Here a three of them. 

The first article is from USA Today and is based on a poll showing half, yes HALF of all Americans want to live somewhere else. Count me as one of those. More on that much much later in the year, for now check out the article here.

The second article is an opinion piece from the New York Times. It delves into your identity and what life is asking of you - not the other way around. Thought-provoking. The comments on this article deserve an equal amount of time as well as people debate both sides of the issue. See it here. 

This last article, from USA Today, looks at exercise over 40. And no I am not there yet - but i am really really close. See it here.

Comments are welcomed. Let me know you are out there. Have a great day!
