Smiling face...

My little ray of sunshine on an otherwise lack-luster Monday morning!

On Being Sick...

Being sick is only good if your interested in catching up on a little reading and rest...

Which is what I have been doing the last couple of days...

Thanks to the local public library.

An Example of 2:00AM Logic...

You know you've been up too long at night when you suddenly feel the need to photograph the contents of the fridge...

Cheap flights...

You know, according to reports I am hearing, between August 18th and sometime in November, the price of flights should hit an all time low...

Sounds like a really good time to get a great deal on a flight to SEATTLE!!!!

I am going to keep checking Travelosity for those great rates. Late summer, early fall sounds like a perfect time for getting away to the Northwest...

Trouble in Amish Paradise...

This is a very interesting video. I found it thanks to Down to Earth.
I have been fascinated by the Amish ever since I lived near an Amish community when I lived in Tennessee in the early 90's.

The video is almost an hour long, but well worth the time.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

A Little Sweet...

The other day Andrew was going to the store and I asked if he would bring me a bag of peanut M&M's. This is what he brought home...

...The can of DrPepper is there just to show you how huge this bag of M&M's is...

Do you know how many calories this bag has in it? Does he really want to me to be the one ton woman? Thank God I have kiddo's to help me eat them, otherwise they would go bad before they were all eaten.

Was there really such a demand for large amounts of chocolate and peanuts that they decided they needed to create this monstrosity? You could feed a small country with these...

The bag is so huge it required its own grocery sack to bring it home in...

So in spite of my lack of sleep lately due to sick children, I am running around like a five year old all hyped up on sugar and caffeine...

I really need to make several trips a day to Curves instead of one...

Just checking...

Testing 1...2...3... testing....

Is this thing on?

HELLO??
