I’ve always noticed that some of my articles get referred from time to time. Since I’ve seen this, I got curious and began checking them out. I think it’s pretty darn interesting! Why you might wonder? Because that article you write when it’s Referred gets seen by so many more people, sometimes even other people might link to it or refer to it on their own blogs. It’s also a link on other websites which is pretty darn cool! I followed one of my recent blogs and it was featured in Ger...

I have to admit it I just love Justine Timberlake’s new song “Sexy Back” ! The rhythm, the feeling it evokes of just wanting to dance no matter where you are or what you’re doing is just so catching! You start humming, then it’s bopping your head, then pretty soon you’re in a full groove moving to it! I don’t know about you, but I love music and this is one heck of a dance music! I’ve also always loved club/house music and these are definitely two of the hottest ones I’ve heard in a l...

It was very interesting to see this news article online from Reuters on Yahoonews.com , given a recent article I did on body image and our young girls; Link . Two points in the article I'm posting below stood out very clearly to me on why what they’re doing in Italy is a good thing. 1: "Madrid's fashion week has turned away underweight models after protests that young girls and women were trying to copy their rail-thin looks and developing eating disorders". 2: " O...

At least he can't be "Diddy" in the UK. Sean "Diddy" Combs has to relinquish his name in the UK because there's someone already with that name there. A music producer Richard "Diddy" Dearlove took him to court over the use of the name "Diddy" because it was his first. Link I've never heard of this person Richard "Diddy" Dearlove before. I guess because I don't live in the UK. He says he might not be as successful as Sean "Diddy" Combs but he is a successful business person in his ...

I woke up crying, I couldn’t help myself. I was hoping that today wouldn’t affect me, I planned on not even thinking too much about this day but it’s difficult not to. I knew that once I saw and hear the events on television all over again that it would bring me back to that day. I told myself that I won’t write about it, because after all nothing happened to me that day, I didn’t lose anyone, at least I don’t know for sure. But when I look back, it did affect me as it has so many o...

This year’s shopping for Homecoming was a lot different than last year's. This year my daughter has been working part time and could fund her own outfit. She was pretty proud of herself and I was of her too. We spent Friday evening at the mall, second evening, because she couldn’t find what she wanted to wear. Finally she settled on a nice blouse that had a jewelry attached. It looked great on her too. What was great about it was I chose it after she was ‘spinning’ around for so many ho...

My daughter told me about an incentive that was going around by email being supported by her school mates and that has become a campaign by many teens. They are encouraging each other to stay home from school on September 11. They want the policy makers to make September 11 a national holiday. They reasoned that since dead presidents can have a day in remembrance of them, why can’t there be a holiday celebrating the memories of those everyday Americans who died on that day? It would be ...

I almost didn't bother with my Power Saturday today. I was feeling tired last night (Friday night) and had made up my mind that I wasn't going to bother with it today. However, when I woke up, I felt re-energised and didn't want to deny myself my 'me' time! So I ate some oatmeal, had some juice, took a nice shower and got ready to start my day. First I dropped my daughter at work as routine (she's down to weekends only which is better all around!) and then I ran two errands before it w...

I mentioned in one of my random blogs that I was in search of a new vehicle, a used one. I was keeping my fingers crossed that it wouldn't take me long to find the one I want and it hasn't! Yep, at last I have my own wheels again. It’s a used one owner only, and in really great condition. It needs two things done, but very minor that our mechanics shop will do for us at minimum cost. I’ve been driving around in it and its pretty fast for a car that old! I have to actually take my fo...

My daughter and her friends are enjoying Homecoming tonight. She’s supposed to be having a sleepover. One of the teen that is supposed to be there is not. She is supposed to be sleeping in my home. She won’t be. Why you might be wondering? Because she’s being quite devious! I spoke to her mom two nights ago and assured her that I’m in agreement with the sleepover and they will be fine. After the Homecoming everyone is supposed to go to a party at one of the girl’s home. The...

Re-editing and trying to post again. This time I won't even try to go for image. I'll just put links to the pics. There are only three rith now.1) I took a photo of our Fighter fish. He's a bad guy. He bullies the other fishes in the tank but they give as good as they get!2) The other picture is a snapshot of the tank. There are some new babies in there. Man those Molly fishes can breed! So we have a Fighter Fish, some Mollys and some Guppies and a Clone Loch (spell).3) The third is a...

Well, the day is practically half over. It was a fun-filled day of enjoyment! I wish I had a camera to take pics but I didn't. And I didn't feel like getting the cellphone (my daughter's or hubby's) to take some although I wanted to, just too lazy to leave the pool! Enough of the beer for the weekend, stretched into today since it was a holiday. And (my English teacher would be very upset with me for beginning a sentence with 'And' but I digress!) I've got to cool it on the beer because...

It’s Labor Day and I hope your day is going great so far! I’m going to get the kids ready to go out. Pool party and barbecue at my cousin’s house today! They’re getting antsy because they can’t wait to leave. Let them sweat a little!LOL! _________________ Lately it’s been really difficult with my four year old. She’s just been non stop fighting with her brother over everything. There are times when they do get a long but the fighting and disagreements are happening too often thes...

Speaking of crushes, I keep going back to my younger days (yea, all of 20 odd years ago!) when I lived on the island. There was a group of people I hanged out with and we had a great time. There was a doctor, a lawyer, a couple of diplomats, a couple of liaisons (their title), and me. (I was a student teacher at the time – I actually had my own classroom too). We used to party from Thursday to Sunday. Most times I would be getting home with just a couple of hours to get to work. Ma...
