black beans

a guy loved backed beans, but he promised his wife he'd give them up because they gave him such terrible gas. however, one day on his way home, he had a craving so strong that he stopped and ate three plates of them. he was sure he could get rid of all the gas before he got home.

but the plan failed, and he arrived home, buttocks clenched, to find his wife at the door. "honey, i have a surprise for you," she said. she blindfolded him, led him to his chair at the dinner table, and told him not to peek. just then, the phone rang and she left the room to go get it.

he couldn't hold his gas any longer, and he could hear his wife in the other room, so he leaned one way and released a series of loud, violent farts. he prayed the stench would be gone when his wife got back. finally, she came back, removed his blindfold, and said, "surprise!" he opened his eyes to see twelve guests seated around the table.

to love someone...

"to love someone

is to learn the song

that is in their heart

and sing it to them

when they have

forgotten the words..."

happy birthday UL

happy birthday underwriters laboratories. =)

here are some interesting points of history throughout UL’s 115 years of service:

- william henry merrill (founder) issued UL's first test on march 24, 1895.

- in 1942, UL began testing devices to protect against sabotage of u.s. wwii equipment.

- in 2002, UL partnered with disney, creating a safety exhibit featuring timon and pumbaa from disney’s ‘the lion king’ at ‘innoventions at epcot’ at the walt disney world resort in florida.

- and in 2006, UL water hired me (yay!) as a project assessment handler; and later promoted me to administrative specialist to the project management department. [titles. (rolling eyes)]

i have loved working for this company and i have learned MANY things about life and about business. UL has been by far, my favorite job. =)

i can hardly stand it!

God doth knoweth the desire-th of my heart. =D

chipotle and Jesus

hello, (waving) my name is stephanie and i’m addicted to chipotle. i think it's super delicious.

i would eat it every day if my body would allow it (even though it's TOTALLY worth the aftermath). instead, i eat there about once a week. why not. i'm young. =)

i checked out their website and it turns out that it's more than just super delicious food. it's healthy too! always a plus. =) while there, i stumbled upon the story and found this quote by chipotle's creator steve: "sometimes, moving forward means taking a few steps back. "

i've taken some much needed steps back and you know what? i'm ready to move forward with what's next in my life. it took me a while to get to this point but nevertheless, i'm ready.
