Yesterday, my friend, Kaia, sent me this link and I thought it was just too cool not to share! You can create and personalize any type of the following charts:

“I like the color babe, it looks great!” The Finkster noticed over our family breakfast. Not sure if he noticed the box in the trash or the fact I didn’t have Don King  like bed head at breakfast – but either way, he noticed.

“Thanks babe, it’s part of the chocolate series,” I less-gray-fully stated.

“You ate a whole bunch of chocolate just to look like that?” inquired Dave’s oldest offspring, Jake.

Self, ignore the statement of Dave’s oldest offspring…

(Sometimes and in some moments – ownership needs to be shared…Wink

“No babe, chocolate is brown, and the hair color I use, is part of the chocolate series because it’s different shades of brown. Get it?”

“Ohhh….”

Which reminded me of a funny statement that seemed far too appropriate. My friend Jo put on her cell phone home page, “I could give up chocolate, but I’m not a quitter!”

Amen sister…both my hair and stomach say, “AMEN!”

This morning I exited our silent “library”, to enter my non-silent office. Unbeknownst to me, I had a meeting waiting to be had.

Today is no ordinary day here at the Fink household. Today is the long-awaited and much anticipated play date with none other than Alexandar T. Yes, by birth right, the boy has a last name; it’s just not how he’s known in Cal’s world.

Cal’s excitement was just a tad more subtle than the Christmas Eve frenzy, “Alexander T has LOTS of train track stuff, that’s what he told me…he loves train tracks but I’m going to play with all his toys, but not his train tracks!”

“Well maybe you can play trains with him for a little while, then ask him to play something that you like?” His confused face spoke more words than his silence. Cal’s devotion today was about how to be a friend to Jesus. The answer, spending time. Being friends with your Alexandar T. or Jesus requires one thing – spending time together.

As for me, I’m off to spend time on the elliptical while I call a friend who just had surgery, I need to spend some time there too. Then, off to the big play date! Drool

Isn’t the commitment to spend time together the nutshell of all friendships?
