"MUST-HAVE" MONDAY

Sorry all of you PC users, I have to boast about my Mac. Tim gave me this lovely machine for Christmas. I had only ever used a PC before and it took me awhile to get used to it. Well, I have to say that I will never go back to a PC after experiencing the brilliance of my Mac:-) Isn't it cunning? There's no tower! It's all wrapped up into one piece of heavenly bliss! I tell ya, if your computer is about to die, look into getting a Mac and experience the joy for yourself.

BEES AND PENNIES

Awhile ago my sister posted about how pennies help bee stings. I thought, "What in the world, I've never heard of such a thing?" I had always just used baking soda mixed with a little water, isn't that what everyone else uses? The other day I was outside sitting on a bench while my kids were playing when I felt something very sharp and painful on the back of my arm. Sure enough, there was a bee stinging me! I just sat there, not saying a thing, just looking at my arm. Then I remembered the pennies that my sister had talked about. I ran inside and grabbed a penny and taped it to my arm where the bee stung me. About two hours later I took the penny off and there was no trace of anything ever stinging me! It really does work! Who knew that pennies could actually help with bee stings? Craziness I tell you, craziness!

DID YA LOVE IT?

I know, I know, everyone is posting about Breaking Dawn, but I have to post about it too because it's part of my life just like everyone else! :) I have heard different reviews, and I am not going to give anything away, but I really enjoyed it completely.... from beginning to end. I am just sad that this is supposedly the final book in the series. :( Now what am I going to read? I guess I will just have to go back to being a non-reader. When the movie comes out I am going to be one of those people that says, "It wasn't nearly as good as the book." I have never been on that side of things before. I always watch the movies and never read the books, therefore not having that problem. I guess I don't want my little world of Bella and Edward, that I have been living in for the last year of reading the books, to end. I am in mourning. Am I the only one? Is there anyone else?

FLIPPING OUT

This show is hilarious! It's called "Flipping Out" and you can find it on the Bravo channel. They just finished with season two and I am a big fan. It's about an extremely obsessive compulsive guy named Jeff Lewis. He flips million dollar homes for a living and is very successful at it. Everyone needs to DVR this show. I can't even describe how crazy this guy is, it makes me laugh through the whole show. You will just have to watch it for yourself and find out.

WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?

To many of you this is going to sound silly. When did people start using only one space after a period or a question mark in a sentence? Apparently it's been going on for a long time, but nobody told me. I have actually noticed this on many of your blogs and wondered about it. I have recently learned that that's what they're teaching in schools now, one space after a period. I guess I am out of the loop. It's a hard habit to break, changing two spaces to one space. Is anyone else in the dark on this or am I the only one?

WE'RE BACK!

We had such a great vacation in California this past week, it was too short and we didn't want to come home. We went with Tim's parents and stayed with them in their beautiful condo on the beach. Thank you so much Larry & Becky! Other than some minor problems (flat tire) on the drive there, we had a wonderful time. I created a slideshow to show everyone what we did on our trip.
