It’s that time again when I start to beat myself up about my weight and start to think about getting slim again!  One of my major problems is keeping hydrated during the day, I know that sounds crazy since I love tea but the fact is it’s very hard to make and drink tea when I’m running around and sweating all the small stuff.  For example I’m thirsty right now but if I don’t finish this post it’s not going to type itself out, besides who wants to reach for a plain old glass of water?  I’d...

I’ve been blessed with two daughters, both with very curly hair.  If you have curly hair, or have to take care of it, we may share a mutual enemy : tangles!  We spend at least an hour a sitting going through their hair, trying to tame those tangles sure takes a lot of time.  Even when braided their hair gets tangled and it’s become such a chore that when they see the combs come out they run and hide.  Recently I picked up some Organic Coconut Oil by Spectrum and I’m very pleased with the...

I can’t wait to watch OWN!  I’ve always been a big Oprah fan, my mom asked why I wasn’t on the show with the loyal viewers and I probaby should have been!  Come on January 1st!! I have some big changes coming up in 2011.   After 11 years in Maine we will likely move away, I’m not sure where yet but I’m hoping we get to back to Florida.  As important as were you live is, the most important even in my life will be to return to the work force.  I am officially in the home stretch of my stay...

I just finished watching No Ordinary Family .   First impression: The show is a mashup between Greatest American Hero , Bionic Woman and of course The Incredibles with the addition of a lair or Bat cave.    If the capes and costumes come out I might add Wonder Woman (favorite) and Superman but for now I’ll leave it at that. The show is not bad, might even be good at some point.  The part I did NOT like was the part when the wife, played by Julie Benz realizes she’s very fast.  Her... Read Full Story

I’ve been through the ombre hair look several times in my life, NO ONE thought it was fashionable.  In fact it seemed quite trashy as if you couldn’t afford to get your hair done.  Here are some pics of Drew Barrymore and one of Ashley Simpson at the end (the only two stars I knew by name!)  For some reason it looks really good on them, had this happenned last summer I wouldn’t even have had to cut my hair down! that makes me really mad when style is untimely.   What a sweet little dog...

I don’t get out much.  My husband and I don’t do the date night thing.  However, on a recent grandma visit we pushed ourselves a bit and went out.  We made it through dinner at Applebee’s for the 2 for $20 I believe we had.  Then it was on to a movie and the always long discussion about what we had heard and what might be the plot. We settled on Inception based on my argument that a Brad Pitt movie is a good movie.  In the end I actually liked and understood most of it… only the snow... Read Full Story

This video NEVER gets old.  I love the glamour and glitz and I love the way the maid is after her and even bosses her a little.  I wonder if Ms. Bennett was really that nice to her staff and in the morning no less. I’m really trying to establish morning routines with my kids but it’s hard when you are not made to wake up early and get motivated for the day.  Nonetheless I try to fake it to be a good role model and to get things accomplished. One more thing before I go and get myself ready... Read Full Story
