It’s been too longs since I did my first simple pleasure post. Time to change that!

Simple pleasures are the best, and this weekend one that I really want to enjoy is being out in the garden. Having a little dirt to play in is so much fun, and if you don’t have your own little piece of land to enjoy nature in, there are always parks to visit. Feeling the sun on your skin, wind on your face, and grass beneath your feet. Nothing could be better, or more simple, than that.

I saw the wiener mobile!

And luckily I had my camera, and I was at a stop light! How random is that?!

Most of you know that we love the TV show, The Office. Steve Carrell is by far one of the funniest actors! And of course who wouldn’t love the Jim and Dwight pranks, and the Jim and Pam story. However, unlike most Office fans, when I heard the news that there was going to be an Office spin off, I cringed.

Obviously I think that taking someone away from the main show is going to be a loss to what makes the show funny in the first place. The Office is all about the interaction between the varied personalities, so having one of those missing is just not going to be as good. And then there is the whole spin off thing. Most spin offs don’t work. I can’t think of any spin off show that has been a hit (hello, Joey!). You know that saying, if it’s not broke don’t fix it… apparently people who are in charge of TV shows need to learn that phrase.

So, it shall be interesting to see who and what the spin off is going to be. There are rumors that it may be Bob Vance, or even Toby. But I want to go on record as saying I think it will be a big mistake (let’s hope I am proven wrong).

My good friend Richard is doing the Harmons MS Bike Tour to raise money for the National MS Society. This is a great cause, one that my family has supported for years (we usually do the MS Walk, or donate). Sadly a lot of members of my family live with MS, a very painful and debilitating disease which currently has no cure.

So, if you would like to support my friend in his efforts please click here and learn more about the bike tour and why he is doing what he is doing. It’s a great cause, and he is going to bike 100 miles, so I think he deserves to reach his fund raising goal!
