Catchy title isn’t it?!
This morning I was laying in bed and was reading all my news reports to see what is happening in the world and I was struck with the thought, “I wonder how many people who protest really know what they are protesting”?
Honestly, I think the majority of protesters don’t know why or [...]

So, I don’t have cable and I haven’t seen this new reality show, “Extreme Couponing” but I have heard and read a few things about it to know, it is in the same category as the Hoarder reality show and whatever other reality shows are out there.
First things first, these people on the show ARE [...]

Where to begin, where even to begin!
So tonight, I was watching that TV show with Jamie Oliver about his food revolution.  UGH!!!!  I was getting so stressed out and so upset during that show!  I could honestly feel my blood starting to boil and I could feel my heart racing and many times I had [...]

Good Morning Everyone!
Once again I don't have much time but, I haven't written anything for a week now, which is NOT a good thing!  Sorry about that.  Life sometimes gets in the way.  There are so many things going on right now in my life and those that surround me, but, Housekeeping is NOT one [...]

So, I have decided that I should walk around with a video camera running at all times in my [...]

Good Morning Everyone!
Ok, I take a deep breath and decide that I have been way too negative and too serious lately.  I don't want to have a blog that is only one way or another so, it is time to bring back the joy.
As I sit here and listen to one of my favorite songs…which [...]

Good Morning Everyone!
So, today, I was logging in on my computer and this article popped up on Yahoo that intrigued me.  As one being married to what I consider to be 'a man' or more accurately, a 'cave man', I thought, hmmm, I wonder what is considered 'a man'.
I read the article, holding my breath [...]
