10 Major Agers


We all know Dr. Oz by now. He made his debut on Oprah's show informing us of what our poo poo should look like. This no non sense approach to informing the public was a hit! People LOVE him and now he has his own show. I have to say, I really enjoy it. He covers many topics on each show and it really is entertaining. Especially when he tries to dance/exercise at the end, the poor man doesnt have any rhythm. I wouldn't recommend watching it everyday as I think one might get paranoid if you take it all too seriously.

That being said, I watched this episode on 10 major agers as he calls them. Products that aren't great for your body that you might not have known about and are probably in your home. Take a look, you might be surprised.

Last Minute Gifts

Ok...so you waited till the last minute and your car broke down and now you are SCREWED! Well no worries, if you are reading this post then you have the internet, and oh what wonders we can accomplish with it..thanks Al Gore.

Gift Cards are always an option!

At amazon.com you can get an electronic card so nothing is actually mailed, just emailed. That way there is no card to lose! You can print one out as well, or have it mailed! They cover all options!


www.magazines.com
is also great! You can put a print out of the magazine cover in a card and there ya go!

Harry and David have a WONDERFUL Fruit of the Month Club where they ship a different fruit every month to enjoy all year!







You can do it...stop procratinating! You will feel better when its all over and drinking egg nog. OK, not egg nog, I mean who really drinks that stuff?

Good Luck All!

Photos of 2009



Photographers never cease to amaze me. They catch moments in time that can never be recaptured and with such detailed and confusing (if you ask me anyway) machines. Here are some of the American photos of the year from Pop Photo.com

Bruce Feirstein




"The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success."

Bruce Feirstein


This is entirely true! It's funny how hard work and determination are qualities that this society thrives on, however, if you actually practice this you are risking "insanity". That is, unless you make a ton of money doing it :)


Bruce Feirstein (born 1956) is an American screenwriter and humorist, best known for his contributions to the James Bond series and his best-selling humor books, including Real Men Don't Eat Quiche and Nice Guys Sleep Alone.

Project Wedding



Sheila,
this ones for you :)

Love this website and blog for Brides! Especially the real weddings section. It's always nice to see that all of that money may actually create a beautiful day that you will be happy with. There is nothing more frustrating than being a bride to be. So much stress, so much money, so many details, juggling everyones feelings along with your own and trying not to pull your hair out in the mean time. It is true, however, that when that special day comes it's all worth it! My advice...go with your gut, but be sensible. Take people serious when they offer help! Things will go wrong so expect it and laugh at it. Don't forget what this day is all about! Love Love Love and a life long commitment. Bless your union!

British Boy Suspended for "Chip Dealing"


You can't stop the natural talents of a business man, even in middle school. This young chap had been selling chips with a 50% mark up to fellow students even though the school had a recent "junk food ban". This got the poor guy suspended. Really? Is that necessary? Then again...it looks like Daddy wasn't being the best role model...Read the full article HERE

Going Vertical





When you have a one year old Christmas decorating takes on a whole new challenge. Our poor tree only has ornaments on the top 1/3rd. Everything must be safe and out of reach. Well this year I went vertical. I hung large ornaments from door frames and light fixtures. I also created a modern tree sculpture out of an old vase and put it on our tv stand out of reach from little hands. Hang stockings by those plastic temporary M3 hooks that wont pull off and wont ruin your mantle. Don't be afraid to get creative and think out of the box!
