And I just about died laughing at this poem. (sorry if it offends anyone but it's SO true! And just to set the record straight, I absolutely love being a social worker, I wouldn't choose any other career).

How to Get to Heaven
A woman knocked at the heavenly gate,
Her face was scarred and old.
She stood before the Man of Fate
For admission to the fold.
"What have you done," Saint Peter asked,
"To gain admission here?"
"I've been a social worker, sir,
For many and many a year."
The pearly gates swung open wide.
Saint Peter touched the bell.
"Come in and choose your harp," he said.
"You've had your share of hell."

I am attempting the electric slide. I love my Dad dancing in the background! haahaha.
I tried to find a serious picture of us but Lauren doesn't do serious.
Dad and Matt chit-chatting.
The second book goes through the popular restaurants and fast food places and gives the four worst menu items and the four healthiest menu items. It was a real eye opener to see that half of an Outback blooming onion is 1,155 calories. That is only HALF! And the worst restaurant dish in America is a platter of Aussie cheese fries from Outback coming in at a whopping 2,900 calories. Bleh. There are some good choices at Outback! The prime rib dinner with sweet potatoes and string beans is 730 calories...not bad. Ok and just one more thing, I used to LOVE the Aloha Pineapple Smoothie from Jamba Juice but then I learned it has more sugar than a banana split from Baskin Robbins!! Who would have known.
