This is my sister, Danielle (and my niece, who has no bearing on this story whatsoever, but who just happened to be in the picture). You may remember her from her famous front page photo in the Tribune-Review a few months ago. Anyway... Danielle has recently begun working in the evenings - wow, this sentence could go in sooooo many different directions - at UPS. She's one of the people who loads the stuff that you order onto the trucks nicely and gently being very careful not to jar or toss the box. Danielle was informed the other night at work that she is the #1 new hire for the month!! Since being given this news is all of the recognition she will get - no fancy "I'm the #1 new hire" pin, or a t-shirt, or anything - I decided that she needed more praises and more accolades, so here's the info. for all the world to see. I'm sure she'll be thrilled :)

And... here's the much-talked-about picture of Big Sexy at his bodybuilding show a few years back. You know, the one he filched off of my picture pile and stuck to the mirror down in his gym as inspiration. He actually wasn't as thin/ripped as he wanted to be in the ab area for this show because he got a late start working out/dieting due to his hernia operation. What do you think???? :)
