Ketchup...

Ketchup...  

     Today is ketchup day. Why not? With everyone still seeing red from Valentines day sounds like it would be a logical progression in annual events. But then, what does logic have to do with the price of onions?

     Today is a day dedicated to those who want need to ketchup on all those unfinished tasks. Look at it as an extended holiday. Personally, I need to ketchup on goofing off. When was the last time you spent a whole day just goofing off? Work? P-f-f-t! Customers calling? How Dare!!! After listening to your voice mail message, I'm sure they will totally understand.

     So what are you going to ketchup on today? The bottle is still half full. And if it runs dry, I'm sure there is more in the pantry...

Love the "Ketchup Day" expression. I'm going to Ketchup on my messy desk today--yep, it got away from me again.

Ketching up - an elusive concept for sure.  Get one thing done and another just pops up to take its place!  But to ketchup on goofing off?  I LIKE that idea more than french fries : )

Micheal,

What a great post.  We all need to remember balance.  Something that is not one of my strong suits.

I guess the good thing about catching up on your blog is that I just went over 400,000 pts :)

I try to take at least one day a week to just goof off and "ketchup"!

Heinz should really try to bottle promote KetchupDay as a national holiday.

Think of the marketing they could put into this.

Brilliant!

My kids will only allow Heinz in my house.  And I'm going to be doing a lot of Ketchup on AR as I broke my ankle today. My right one to boot.  Anyone want to be my chauffeur???

Since I had an "early" morning obligation on Monday I am just now reading your blog. Maybe I'll take the morniong off since I have another obligation this afternoon. Something we call an inspection.

I always have stuff to 'ketchup' on! Hmmm, including my cabin. Probably in the fat chance category!
