Life Cereal

Tina | August 30, 2010

I am not much on eating cereal for breakfast. But I do like it as a snack once in a while. Can’t deal with super sweet ones that seem to be so abundant on the shelves these days.  Shredded Wheat is good and I like Life as well. Both can have strawberries, black berries, blue [...]

First Day of School

Tina | August 30, 2010

I found out the hard way that today was the first day of school here. I got stuck behind one of those large, smelly, yellow school buses on my way to work this morning. I was late to work and the day went down hill from there. I’m sure that there are a lot of [...]

Girls are good at math

Tina | August 24, 2010

I never could understand in my 4th grade math class and my 5th grade math class why the teachers seemed to think that girls weren’t any good at math.  Maybe they were just of the “older generation” that thought that boys were good in math but bad in language skills and that girls were the opposite.  [...]

Free HD for life

Tina | August 18, 2010

Sandy told me that she has decided to order the local tv satellite services that she found on the www.localtv-satellite.com website.  She said that she was getting the basic package from localtv-satellite.com that only costs $29.99 for the first year, and that she gets free HD for life just by signing up. I think that is a pretty [...]

Internet A Powerful Tool

Tina | August 18, 2010

It seems that most people are related to or are close to someone who is experiencing serious health issues or a major disability. The Internet has brought a good amount of attention to a lot of these issues and it can be a powerful tool in learning all you can about these health issues. I’ve [...]

Great picture

Tina | August 17, 2010

I wish I knew who to give credit to for this cake topper – it is priceless! I found this picture on a Yahoo story, and laughed until the tears ran down my face! I know a few young men who are addicted to video games, and this would be the perfect cake topper for [...]

Our Family Loves Cheerleading

Tina | August 17, 2010

Guest post by Jewel Cole Usually on Mondays, I have to take my daughters to cheer leading practice. Sometimes it is a bit harder to juggle their sporting events and my work life, but normally, I have to use a calender to keep up. One thing I must remember to do at all times is [...]

A disease

Tina | August 8, 2010

I find it very sad and frustrating that so many people that I know and love are turning to drugs and alcohol as an escape mechanism. These are such destructive coping mechanisms! What is even sadder is that they don’t see, or don’t care, about the pain that they are addicts, and that the addiction [...]

Sad News

Tina | August 3, 2010

My sister emailed me that in Fairfax County (near where she lives) there has been a great loss involving a drunk driver Sunday morning. One Catholic nun is dead and two others are in critical condition. A sad time for the local religious community. Drunk driving is still claiming way too many lives even with [...]

Sign of the times

Tina | August 1, 2010

I’m glad to see that more and more people are finally putting address plaques in front of their houses, down by the road.  There have been so many times in recent years that I tried to take my kids someplace and couldn’t find the house because there were no address signs visible from the road.  Fortunately for [...]

Coupons

Tina | August 1, 2010

I don’t know what I’d do without my coupons that I clip each Sunday. The savings is definitely worth the time and effort it takes to go through them all. They did just recently just raise the cost of the Sunday paper but it is still worth the price with the savings that I get [...]

A lesson learned – sweet revenge!

Tina | July 28, 2010

I don’t like mean girls at all. I saw this funny commercial on youtube, and laughed out loud – those mean girls got exactly what they deserved!

Variety is the spice of life

Tina | July 28, 2010

One of the things that I always enjoy about going on vacation is finding unique places to go. I don’t want to go around and always stay in the same chain of hotels and eat at the same chain of restaurants every time! What’s the point of going anywhere if everything is the same? Might [...]

Judge not

Tina | July 27, 2010

There’s actually a good lesson to this funny commercial I saw on youtube. It is easy to jump to the wrong conclusion! People should get all the facts before passing judgement!

Bad credit

Tina | July 26, 2010

Guest post by Linda Bradshaw I love my friends and family. I really do. I know that they usually have my best interest at heart, and that they really are trying to help me out with my problem with my bad credit that has been caused by Bank of America’s foot dragging handling of my [...]

Serendipity find

Tina | July 26, 2010

I was looking for a particular funny video I had seen a few days ago to share with my son, and found a series of videos made about putting thngs in blenders. This guy is nuts! This is a video of him blending an I-phone! I don’t think I’d be inclined to invite this guy [...]

What is it about men that they get so excited about cars?

Tina | July 25, 2010

Have you ever noticed at the parties that you go to that the men gather at one end of the party area and the women gather on the other?  What is up with that? One of the things that I try to do at a casual party is to integrate the men and the women, [...]

Looking for the recipe

Tina | July 25, 2010

Last night my hubby and I went to eat dinner at the local Ruby Tuesday. I tried the new appetizer, Boston Barbecue chicken wings. It is served with ranch dressing and celery. Well, I didn’t eat the celery – I read an article recently about secrets waitresses won’t tell you, and it said that at [...]

Recent break-ins in the area

Tina | July 25, 2010

One of the things that I find most telling about the economy is how many homes have signposts in their yards that advertise that they use some kind of home security system to deter burglars.  As more and more people are losing their jobs and falling off of the unemployment benefits roster, more and more people [...]

The Heat Is On

Tina | July 24, 2010

Yet another day of extreme heat today. I was hoping that this weekend was going to bring us some decent weather for once. I have a lot to do outside, but the heat just makes me crazy and I’m so sick of it. I usually adore the summer months but I have to tell you [...]
