To be perfectly honest, I was feeling snubbed by the women at the meeting, so I tried to listen to the men’s conversation, thinking that I could participate in some of that chatter.  But all they seemed to be talking about was sports, or cars.  I could hear that one of them was trading in his dodge ram but couldn’t make up his mind between a chrysler 300 or a suzuki kizashi . Another guy was talking about buying a new infiniti ex as a graduation gift for his daughter that had just graduated college. Must be nice to have enough money to buy your kid a brand new car like that! I’ve been driving around a 1996 Chevy because money is tight, and these guys are talking about buying new cars. Why can’t men get more excited about fixing up their houses?

She has gone online and found Avista Resort to be a perfect top notch Myrtle Beach hotel for us both to stay at, and on her dime to boot! They have a great website at http://avistaresort.com that she found by spending some time on the computer at her work during her lunch breaks. We both like the beach and we both like to play golf, so it is a perfect match. And by going after Labor Day the prices aren’t as pricey and hopefully the place won’t be as crowded either.

It sounds good to me. I can take the time off, but I don’t have a lot of cash to throw around, so if she pays for the lodging I think I can manage the rest. I’m so excited, a girls weekend at the beach, gotta love it!

With almost half of the online game playing population looking for and playing virtual girl games the demand has been heard and they have done a good job in providing females with a good variety of virtual girl games to occupy our online time. My 11 year old niece got a laptop for Christmas and spends a good amount of time online, since she is the only child she doesn’t have anyone around the house to play with and spend any of her spare time with, so the computer has turned into her best friend these days.

It is a good thing that her mother is on the ball and is constantly checking in on her and does look to see what sites she has been visiting. She isn’t allowed to have a FaceBook or a MySpace account yet, but she seems cool with that for now.

We especially get excited when we see a bluebird; we don’t see them very often!  My hubby has been talking about trying to take pictures of them, but by the time he gets his digital camera, they’ve flown off!  I recently came across a website that  sells special bird cameras.  I’ve never heard of them before, but I was intrigued.  These are special wireless bird cameras just for taking pictures of birds!  They are weatherproof, have motion detectors, and one even has a flash feature for night time photos!

The cameras were more affordable than I would have expected!  I just might break down and buy my hubby a bird camera for his next birthday.  I think he’d be really excited to get a gift like that!  No more groans of disappointment when the bird has flown away!

Who else could portray the teen drama of the 80’s better than Molly Ringwald? The truth is, no one. I adore watching 80’s movies on demand on my direcTV, because they are so dramatic and funny. I also love that whenever I turn the television on, there is always an 80’s film to watch. Whether it is The Breakfast Club or “16 Candles,” I can always be assured that one of my favorite 80’s films will be on television.

“The Breakfast Club” depicts the lives of give teenagers caught in detention. The way these teens come to bond with one another, while being trapped in confinement, is hilarious. The kids all try to play pranks on the mean principal, and each kid has a distinctive personality. There is the sports jock that is pressured into playing sports by his father. There is the punk kid who probably never will graduate from high school. There is the girl with a compulsive lying problem. There is the immature nerd with a brilliant mind. And then there is the princess who gets everything, played by Molly Ringwald. As the movie goes on, it shows how the teens open up with each other and come to understand one another.

Overall, “The Breakfast Club” is my favorite 80’s film for the honest approach to adolescence that it unashamedly takes.

Swiffer Wet Jet has a really cute and fun commercial that I love to see each and every time it comes on the television. For some reason I seem to see the commercial more often when I am at home on our Best Choice TV, but wherever I see it, I like it just the same!

In this commercial it shows a woman who has replaced her mop with a new Swiffer Wet Jet. The mop is heartbroken and devastated, with the “Baby Come Back” song playing in the background, it will do whatever it can to make its way back into the hands of its owner who threw it out for the Swiffer.

The mop is shown in the background, looking like a sad, lost little mop. It even makes a desperate attempt to win her heart over with flowers. The mop is torn apart as she dumps the flowers in the garbage, and forever ends their relationship. It is enough to make tears form in your eyes as you watch the sad little fellow.

This commercial is so funny! It drew me in well, and I was even convinved to try a Swiffer myself! I hope there are more of these cute commercials to come!
