Rise and Shine
Wednesday 08-20-2008 10:00am CT
I was just looking at my September Good Housekeeping Magazine and there was an article titled "Get Up & Go!...Everything you need to rise and shine--and make it out the door on time." In it they covered the best gadgets to bolt you awake to begin your day. Three of them you can dock your iPod into, another has a projection feature and one even has a bed shaker feature...I kid you not!! While I found all of these to be quite facinating, I then went to look at the alarm clock we have. My husband, Dan, has the iHome product, the first one the article raves about. I on the other hand still have the clock that got me out of bed in college. Ok, it may be a bit archaic, but it works just fine! sure it's dated, but it's in great shape and so far I have not been late for anything. Dan did try and switch out my clock. He replaced it with some new-fangled smaller orb that I did not like...began a hasty search for my trusty and ever-realiable-relic-of-a-clock, which I found sequestered to the guest room. After that fit of panic whilst scouring my house I quickly made the switcheroo and remained in yoga breathing mode to bring my heart rate back to normal. And when Dan asked why I banished the neon-numeric-orb to the guest room. Words were not exchanged, they didn't need to be I think the look on my face and sweat soaked shirt said it all. And when he was gone, I reset the alarm on his clock...LOL!
The Athletic Skort Has Many Foes!

Ok, What is the dee-li-o with people finding something wrong with the new running "skirts"...they are actually skorts...what gives? (It was the skort/athletic skirt bashing I found on www.msn.com that drove me to defend my favorite athletic apparel) I being a sporty person, happen to LOVE them! I play tennis, they are perfect for it. I golf, again, fantastic. I also run, and love them for, it simply for the versility! Why should I buy several sets of running tights when my skort fills the bill. I'm not trying to be aerodynamic here, I'm just wanting my backside covered while I run! I can only see if you are an avid runner logging miles and miles, then yes, the tights are a must. But, I am not a marathon runner. For instance, I was at my aunt and uncle's who have a boat...I didn't have my swimsuit, but at least with my athletic skort, I can climb around on that boat however I choose without any peeking issues. And if it would have been warmer, I would have jumped into the water to do some tubing, because, in a skort, "I Can!" In fact if I wanted to do a cartwheel, in a skort, I Can! If I wanted to climb the rock wall at Dick's, Hey, know what? In my skort, I Can! I think the new catch phrase for the skort should be..."I Can!" because you CAN where them anywhere, look good and play any sport...yes, I even do yoga and pilates in my skort...because, "I CAN!" Look at it this way, limit yourself, you accomplish little...if the posibilities are limitless...your accomplishments in the sporting world are endless! So, put on your athletic short and Just Do It, Because You Can!
Food Blunders
Tuesday 08-05-2008 11:44am CT
So, how many of you have gone out to dinner or to a fast food place and the order is messed up in some way? If you are not raising your hand you are SO lying...LOL! My order always seems to have something wrong with it, probably because my order entails several levels of changes. However, if there is something on my sandwich I did not want I simply pick it off. However, if I wanted a chicken sandwich and voila, it's a burger...yes, it must go back. And the process is simple you tell them the mistake, it's corrected and all is right with the world. But that was not the case for Reginald Peterson of Florida, who called 911, not once, but TWICE after a sandwich shop left off the sauce! For Real...I read this today! Peterson made the first call to emergency so that the officers could have his sub made correctly. The second call was to complain that the police officers were not arriving quick enough. Workers told police that Peterson became belligerent and yelled at them while they were preparing his order. Then they locked him out of the store when he left to call the police. He refused to calm down and was arrested on a charge of making false 911 calls. No word yet on charges of disturbing the peace or staging a coup with subs from another food place. I'm just curious what he does when he loses his internet connection...YIKES!
