Paid Surveys, Opinion Polls and Product Trials

*read a chapter in my latest novel. (Can't remember the name and will have to climb over painters to get to it)

*move buttons on 5 pairs of pants. Did I lose inches around my waist?? Nah, the pants must have stretched.

*take a bubble bath. Every muscle in my back is aching. I've been sitting (at the computer) in this chair too long.

*Check out the Chicago Tribune. Chances are good that we will be moving there.

*If the painters are gone in time, maybe bake something. I have this craving for chocolate!

That's it ;)

Just finished an article for Southern Byways on this aquarium... you are going to love the Gator Bayou!

I found this hard to believe... but, did you know that it just so happens that the soles of the feet tend to sweat the most.

And then I looked at a pair of my cloth covered flip flops. Yup... the soles of your feet definitely sweat! That's where this product from Lush comes in handy... smells great and works! I must have the nicest smelling feet in our neighborhood!!

An easy way to burn calories is to wear them off walking... anywhere and everywhere.  Clip on the pedometer the minute you get up and for the first week, monitor your daily steps. Second week, try adding 500 additional steps. Be sure to choose a pedometer that offers a cover that closes over the re-set button. It doesn't take very much to accidently bump the button and you are back at zero steps.

An even better idea (the one that I'm using) is to buy one for yourself and your significant other. We have had our pedometers for 3 days now and for two of those days, my husband has beat me!! That was a shock.  Now we are trying to out-do each other and that has to good for the health!!

Any stories out there??

While you want to look as if you are wearing no makeup on the beach, we all know that we need a little help. Here are some colors to consider.-a sandy shimmer on the lids-a bronze shimmer for the cheeks-a pinky beige or an apricot beige on the lips.

It's all you, but better.

We are usually so busily longing for those things we can't have that we overlook what we have in their place that is even more worthwhile. Laura Ingalls Wilder

You mean there are thing that we can't have??

I was just thumbing through some of my Page a Day calendars and a little trivia for you. Do you know the original three flavors of the Popsicle... I would have thought chocolate would have been one of them, but it isn't.

You can all guess, but I will leave the answers here...

I'm curious to see how many know the right answers. :)

I'm still amazed at how many teens are baking in the sun. Yes, I did it too, but there was no one around to tell us just how bad it was for our skin. Now, we can have to color without the damage! Who needs wrinkles... and guys, this is for you as well. My husband is always using mine. He's from England and they have a tendency for very pale skin all year round!

I don't know if you can imbed the coding for You Tube into a message... it doesn't seem to want to work for me, but this has to be one of the funniest videos I have seen in a long time.
