Sometimes you gotta break the rules!

OK, now look, I'm not saying ignore the ten commandments, drive while impaired, or kill that client who ripped you off.  I would never suggest armed robbery or forging a signature or even cheating on your taxes.  But "no dogs on the bed!"  Now come on.  How bad can that be?  Who comes up with these rules anyway?



So go ahead, wear white shoes now.  Who says you have to wait 'till after Memorial Day?  Go outside and run through the puddles after a warm rain.  It won't kill you.  Laugh in church, let the bed go unmade all day, ignore the ringing phone.  Take a day off in the middle of the week and lay around and read a good book.  Go ahead!  Who say's you can't?  I think I might talk with my mouth full today, just for the fun of it and I'll have dessert before my meal too.  Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.

Good point Marian! Sometimes we need a break from the rules. Sounds like a good change of pace.

One of the best things about working in real estate is that you can give yourself permission to break the rules.  The unhappiest REALTORS® I know are the ones who can't give themselves a day off once in a while.

First of all...If there was a LIKE Button on each comment, I'd have to click it on Bliz's comment...Too Funny!

Second of all...I think I'll take today off.  You don't mind, right?  That Kirby is just too darn cute to say NO to.

More opinions than you want to hear about.

No dogs on the bed?  Where are they supposed to sleep?

I have forwarded this post to Tish as my way of letting her know I'm breaking the rules today and playing hooky.  I think it'll go over better coming from you.  Plus, I'm a chicken.

Great! You have me laughing, Marian! Those little rules are meant to be broken--like the uniform skirt I wore that had to touch the floor when we knelt, and once school was out we'd roll up at the waistband -- can you imagine how silly we must have looked?  Fun, though!

This is a cute post Marian.  It is uplifting and makes me feel a little sneaky.
