Greg Loves Sarah

:-) Hold your breath, Texas! Here I come….again!

Tomorrow, I head back to Big Sandy – a lovely little place made lovelier by my sister and brother-in-law living there! Here’s a picture taken with my cell phone on my last visit. Aren’t they the best!?

OK – I’ll wrap up this little post with a few random statistics for ya. I will confess that I can’t exactly prove any of these…and you know what “they” say about statistics. SO…don’t use them in your college-level papers.

Here goes….

• Each year, Americans throw away 25 trillion Styrofoam cups.

• In China, people eat a bar of chocolate for every 1,000 chocolate bars eaten by the British.

• In a lifetime, the average driver will honk 15,250 times.

• In a year, the average person walks 4 miles to make his or her bed.

• In an average lifetime, people spend 4 years traveling in cars and six months waiting for red lights to turn green.

And my favorite….

• 96% of people put the peanut butter on first when making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. :-)

*NOTE: I can probably count on ONE HAND the number of times I’ve used my horn on purpose in traffic.

Y’all have a lovely day! And may it get EVEN LOVELIER tomorrow!

We at EIS* [that’s for you, Mel] interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you a special announcement. Thanks to the thoughtfulness, generosity, and talent of my friend [and “adopted lil’ brother”] Josh, you are cordially invited to join me HERE at my new site!

For the last year and a half, I have been a faithful blogger at www.xanga.com/sperkins. It has been and will continue to be great fun and a real source of encouragement to keep up with my friends (and them with me) there!!!!

Alwaysperky.com was a Christmas gift that I am very grateful for!! SOOO…I will be blogging from here now! Just as with Xanga, you can leave comments [hint, BIG hint] and you can also e-mail me. One cool thing about having my own place is that anyone can comment (whether you are Xangan, etc. or not)….Very cool!

If you are wondering about the site’s name, credit for my nickname – “Perky” – must go to Ben M. He came up that well over 2 years ago. As for getting it to stick, that was Ben, Nik, and the Southeast Asia teams. And, I’ll have you know, STUCK and SPREADING, it is!

So, y’all ENJOY! Stop by often for a visit! Say HI! My e-home is your e-home!

As for latest happenings, Saturday was certainly a grandiose day! What made it so sweet?? Melanie and Mr. Bogner came for a visit……:-)

My friends, all of you, are treasures!!!!

Sarah
