Random Five Friday – Handle with Care

Posted on May 30, 2014 by emjayandthem

1. For all the snow we had this winter, record amounts in fact, we need rain. How does that work?

2. No plans this weekend. Oh sure there’s yard stuff to do and inside stuff to do but, for at least 2 days, I have no particular place to be and I am absolutely digging that!

You got it!

3. Yesterday I was reading a message on my Smart phone and happened to catch my reflection — I stopped, laughed and realized that a lot of us, including me, make the same face when looking down: we look like Grumpy Cat! From now on I vow to bring my phone to eye level even if I look odd doing it.

Need to stop making this face! source Reddit.com

4. Lilacs. Still gorgeous. The end.

Just heavenly! An Emjayandthem (C) photo

2. I came across another Traveling Wilburys song that I’ve been playing a lot of lately. George is adorable and Tom is cool but I think it’s Roy’s haunting voice that draws me back again and again. You?

Have a great weekend, peeps!

Random five Friday and it’s all right

Posted on February 28, 2014 by emjayandthem

The last Friday in February! Wow, here we are. Seemed like 2 weeks ago it was … Christmas.

Here are my random 5’s for today:

1. A week ago I wrote about Eagles & Crows. The next day, out of the blue, I received a highly complimentary email from a top executive in my company about a project I’ve led and excelled at. The best part? The crow was copied on it. Karma! 🙂

2. I started to complain about today’s -9F temps when I saw this snapshot from my homeland in Saskatchewan, Canada. I stopped right then and there.

Yes it’s in Celsius but at -40, Fahrenheit and Celsius ARE the same!

3. Today, I’ve loaded up the Jeep with my tunes and coffee and the Garmin and am off to points North for meetings with community leaders and business owners. Next to solving problems, this is the part of my job I love most. Why? It’s different every time. I get out of the office, I meet new people, develop relationships and stretch myself. It’s good. Real good.

4. Did I mention the tunes? Road trips mean I can put the Mp3 player on shuffle and see who pops on. Heard this the other day, and it’s been all right ever since.
