Cigars and other symbolism for celebration

When thinking about cigars, I imagine a glamorous scene between two business men who are celebrating a new deal. I think of men who become fathers for the first time and hand out a cigar to each friend and family member as a symbol of celebration.

There are certain objects, products, etc. that bring to mind a celebration. A cigar is one of them. It symbolizes a good day, a new chapter, and a job well done.

Besides the cigar, what are other objects that can be used as a symbol for celebration?

I want to write a post on weight loss today but….

I can’t seem to think about anything other than the LOST series finale.  What a crazy ride THAT was!  I think my eyes are *still* puffy from all of the crying.  Wow.  What a wonderful show!  I will miss it! :)

Have you watched it?  What did you think?

Online degrees — marketing

I am just about finished up with my degree in web development. I am currently shopping around for a college to continue my education as my academic goals include obtaining my masters degree. I like the idea of getting my masters online degree.

Since this is an extra expense (I am taking the risk that this will pay off in the future), I am choosing carefully. I need a college that I feel will prepare me for the world of marketing and advertising. SO, I am doing my homework. Researching the best schools so that I can obtain the kind of experience I am looking for.
