Today is Long Letter Day where you're supposed to write a long letter to an old friend (which is impossible for me. I can now only write letters with 140 characters or less). Today is also National Go Barefoot Around the House Day (strangely enough, there's Hallmark card to celebrate that).
Attention! The service I use to provide audio for VDJ seems to be down (as of 6:07am). May be switching services soon...

Gotta See This
Get ready for 30 seconds of cuteness...
Actually, this is exactly how I felt last night!
Did You Know
Maybe I should stop watching "Swamp Wars" with my 4-year old. Turns out any TV past 7 is bad for a kid's sleeping pattern, but especially if the show you're watching is violent. And get this -- one in four pre-schoolers have a TV in the bedroom because many families think it will help their kids sleep. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends to get the TV out of there.

Joke of the Day
A little guy is sitting at a counter eating breakfast at a restaurant when a big guy walks in and hits the little guy, knocking him off his stool.
"That's a judo chop from Japan," he says, and then walks into the bathroom. The little guy gets up and sits back down to finish his breakfast.
Moments later, the big guy comes back out of the bathroom and hits the little guy again.
"That's a karate chop from Korea," he says. The little guy gets up and leaves the diner. The big guy sits down and orders breakfast.
As he starts to eat, the little guy comes running back through the door and knocks the big guy out.
He looks at the waitress and says: "When he wakes up, tell him that was a tire iron from Sears."

Shoplifting On the Rise: A Sign of Recovery?
Check out this insane logic (which may be true): More stores were ripped off last year than the year before. Most of it done by the employees themselves. So how is this tied to a recovering economy? AA professor at a business school claims that when employees are desperate to keep their jobs, they behave. When they know they can pick up a quick job at another store, they take chances. Make sense to you?
13 Things Your House Cleaner Won't Tell You
From Reader's Digest:
#1) Don't ask me to clean your five-bedroom house then say you need it done in two hours...
Other random gems:
4. Please do not ask me to sew on buttons clean the wheels of your bike, scrub out your mailbox, or pull out the refrigerator in order to clean behind it.
6. If your house is a disorganized mess it makes it harder for me to clean
7. It makes me crazy when I’ve just cleaned a floor and my employer walks all over it in dirty shoes.
11. It’s a huge relief when clients allow me to take my child with me to work. Sometimes I just can’t find a sitter but I still need the money.
13. Be nice to me. I do a better job when I am happy and feel appreciated.
