The Middle

Nearly every family vacation we ever took until I was 17 was to "The Middle" Waupaca, Wisconsin to be exact.  Sometimes we would fly and sometimes we would drive the whole way.  Chris and Bear and I would be piled in the back seat asking if we were there yet every couple of miles.  Priceless.  We would alternate between playing and playing tricks on each other.  I have so many wonderful memories from childhood eating ice cream, station wagons, waterslides, and visiting our family in Wisconsin.I usually find myself watching tv Saturday night after a wedding and then again Sunday morning when I'm way to tired to get out of bed.  What do you watch to wind down after a great night?

So this weeks tv obsession is The Middle.  It's full of nostalgia and characters that feel like friends.  This is one of the shows I watch when Mike isn't in the room.  I laugh way  louder than the situation warrants and I don't want him to think his girlfriend is insane.  Then later I'll rewatch it with him and only laugh half as loud.

This particular episode is my favorite.  Interviews are always a little bizarre to me.

Happy Wednesday! xoxo Suzanne

In this episode  Mike begins searching for a new job when the quarry is shut down for scientific research because of the discovery of a dinosaur bone.

The Middle Recap : “The Interview”

Interviewer:  So tell me, mike, what brings you to hoosier grain?

Mike:  Well, you called me, told me to come in, and, uh, here I am.

Interviewer:  how about you tell me a little about you?  What are three words you would use to describe yourself?

Mike: .. tall........Mike...........Man?

Interviewer:  Okay.  Well, what would you say is your best quality?

Mike:   Tall?

Interviewer:  What's your worst quality?

Mike:   WHY WOULD I TELL YOU THAT? (laughs) I mean, I'm trying to get a job here.

Interviewer: (gasps) IF YOU WERE A COLOR, WHAT COLOR WOULD You be?

Mike:   I guess I would stick with the color I am.

Are you even allowed to ask me that?



MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY

I'm sorry readers!  My Motivational Monday post is a little late... I promise I won't make it a habit!I stumbled upon a super inspiring story the other day that  I just can't forget about.  Pete Eckert calls himself a "blind visual artist."  This 4 minute long video will surely make your day.

"Sound gives an image just like light gives an image. Sound wraps around images and if your in the sound's shadow, it'll give you a description of where and what the thing is your looking at."  - Pete Eckert

Today's tune is performed and written by Stevie Wonder, who is also blind.   Listen to this awesome live version of "Uptight" performed in 1965.  He was 15!      XOXO.... Jessica

Singer FAMILY!

This morning I went to a local English Pub named Shakespeare's, where I watched the Live 2011 Women's World Cup, Semi-Final game between USA and France. The atmosphere was amazing, full of families and friends who had woken up early to partake in cheering on our USA soccer ladies. I have grown up on the soccer field and I have practically been playing soccer my whole entire life; in fact soccer has become a sport that brings my family together. Unfortunately, my parents live in the Bay Area, and my sister in Los Angeles. Luckily, my friends and my boss Suzanne, who have become my family in San Diego, shared the morning and my love of soccer, celebrating the USA Women's victory!After the game, I started to ponder the idea of Family. While doing this, I came across this quote:

Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts. ~Author Unknown

Regardless of who your family consists of, whether it be family members who are blood related, friends, roommates, bosses or pets, it is important to keep life sweet and a little nutty by always having your fudge near by!

The Singer family, who exude characteristics of fudge, sweet in flavor and rich in love are a great example of what family is about!
