Best. Prize. Ever.

Last week, Danny (my brother) and his wife Lena were trying to get Lena's airplane ticket for when she comes out to CA this summer.  Since I'm going to be coming out on the same day, they wanted to get my itinerary in order to sync up our flights if possible and simplify my parents' lives (we're both going to CA--she's coming from NYC and I'm coming from SLC).  So, to encourage a speedy response, they sent out and email to my parents and me saying that whoever sent my itinerary to them first would WIN A PRIZE!!

We all know I love prizes, so I made a speedy delivery--I got that itinerary to them the fastest!  Which means that I WON A PRIZE!!

When I saw the prize, I didn't think I could be any happier.  It is SO COOL.

Don't believe me?  Check it out for yourself.

BEST. PRIZE. EVER.

Please be inspired by this song's lyrics:

I'm Responsible© Joel Reese 2006 



                                                                       (Joel Reese The Singing Cowboy)

 (From the C.D. “Rise and Shine Round-Up!”)


I’m responsible…I eat the food on my plate
I’m responsible…I close the backyard gate
I’m responsible…I’m never late
It’s cool to be responsible

I’m responsible…I do all my chores
I’m responsible…I always lock the doors
I’m responsible…I keep my toys off the floor
It’s cool to be responsible

I’ve been given the gift of life – So I’m gonna choose to do what’s right
There’s so much important work to do…You can depend on me – To see
it through

I’m responsible…I keep my room really neat
I’m responsible…I think before I speak
I’m responsible…I don’t sneak a peek
It’s cool to be responsible

I’m responsible…If I make someone cry
I’m responsible…I apologize
I’m responsible…I never lie
It’s cool to be responsible

I’ve been given the gift of life – So I’m gonna choose to do what’s right
There’s so much important work to do…You can depend on me – To see
it through
(last time) You can depend on me – To do what I’m supposed to do
Yes, you can depend on me - To stick with what I say I’ll do
I choose to be responsible and you can too!


What cool cats they are.
