Ever had anyone tell you to think outside the box? I hate the expression about as much as "Can I pick your brain?" No, you can't pick my brain - just like you can't pick my nose! My brain is not for picking - it is not a strawberry patch. IT'S MY BRAIN! Sorry - digression!
So this week I was told to think outside the box. Actually I was told to take the box, set it on fire and shove it off the cliff. Now that's a metaphor I can get behind. Take the standard and completely mutilate it. Totally destroy the bonds holding you in. Ooohhh - such visuals. I need my graphic designer husband to create a nice logo of that. I'd probably get called by homeland security wondering why I'm threatening the existence of UPS.
I mean I get it - don't get held up by the constraints of what you've always known. Of course, how does one think outside of ones experience. Ugh - I'm too tired to explore that thought.
Unfortunately - everyone else had already picked my brain and gave away all my good ideas. So I'm back in the box - it's on fire and being hurtled toward the the cliff - with my picked over brain inside.
Can you tell it's been that kind of week?
"Inconceivable!"

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Hi Jenny!
It is always intriguing and exciting to read our blog. It's so great knowing that you and your family are doing well. Just wanted to let you now that we often think of you. How wonderful it was to be a part of your Korea stay last year. We are doing well in our new host country, Phillipines. Hope to see you this summer! Sunny and Michael
