So I am a bit slap happy...


We have been extremely busy since right after Christmas. Its a good thing....however, there is no rest for the weary. When I can't sleep, I work, when I can't work I sleep. I have even set my alarm and gotten up at 3 a.m. to work a couple of nights and then take little cat naps through the day. I am so glad my office is in my home and I can go to work in my pajamas! I can do laundry while I work and I can cook meals while I work. It is a little lifesaver decision we made back in October that I will be thankful for the rest of my life we made!!!
When the interest rates dropped, there was a scramble for many homeowners to refinance, and that threw us right into overdrive. What a great way for me to learn the business, but I must confess its a little difficult for me to keep up on my school work right now.
So being as brain dead as I am right now, I received this old joke in an email this morning, and it made me giggle all over again, so I thought I would share it with all of you so you can see just how goofy I am getting to be. (Ok, so those of you who know, know that I have always been quite a bit goofy!)

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller, whose name is Patricia Whack.
'Ms. Whack,' he says, 'I'd like to obtain a loan to buy a boat.'
Patti furrows her brow and asks, 'Well, how much do you want to borrow?'
'$30,000,' the frog says.
The teller writes this down, then asks his name.
'My name is Kermit Jagger. I'm the son of Mick Jagger.'
'Really?' she asks, eyebrow raised.
'Yes,' he says. Then he digs into his pants pocket and produces a tiny pink porcelain elephant. 'And I want to use this as collateral.'
'Ummm, okay,' Patti says, accepting the elephant. 'I'll have to ask the president about this.'
'That's fine,' he says. 'He'll vouch for me.'
Patti walks into the bank president's office and explains the situation. 'There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000 to buy a boat. He wants to use this' - she holds up the tiny pink elephant - 'as collateral. I mean, what the heck is this thing?'
The owner says: 'It's a knick knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone.'

Crack me up... I have three of the four songs you mentioned on my ipod. The only one I don't have is that Kennyh Chesney song, and only because I haven't had time to borrow J.C.'s cds to burn yet!
