Funny, Not Obscene!
October 17, 2011
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of American Family Insurance for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Remember when comedy was, uh…. FAMILY FRIENDLY? What the heck ever happened? My online pal Chuck was recently lamenting the state of the entertainment culture, and how heartily I agree. It does seem that […]
A Great Snack for a Good Cause

Comments Off on A Great Snack for a Good Cause
Yum! We love the Breakfast on the Go! snacks. I like the ones with dried fruit in them, and the kids like the ones with chocolate in them. š These things are so perfect for traveling. They don’t weigh you down like heavier snacks and fast foods do, either. One of these little packets with […]
Around the Interwebz, Part 2
October 13, 2011
More humorous tidbits I’ve accumulated while on Facebook or on the web. You can take this photo two ways. I choose to see it as the latest fad in rodeo competition: Horse Tossing. :grinny: SO. TRUE. :whistle: *chuckle* ME ME ME!!! I want one! Have a happy, friends!
Meet Me on Monday, It’s Tuesday!
October 11, 2011
Monday came and went with a blink of an eye! Since it was a holiday, of sorts (Columbus Day), we took a day trip up to the High Peaks area of the Adirondack Mountain Range in New York State. Autumn is glowing in all its splendor there. I’ll have more photos and some interesting stories […]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of T.G.I. FRiDAY’S for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. The husband works evenings a couple times a week, and by then, dinner has been served (and, hopefully, the kitchen cleaned up) by then. The last thing I want to do is re-cook another meal […]
Around the Interwebz, Part 1
October 8, 2011
Facebook is a fountain of…. well, faces, I guess. And funny and witty photos! This past week, it seemed that everyone was posting funny cartoons and images! I nabbed several and thought I’d share. Because sharing makes you feel good inside, right? Believe it or not, I have even MORE to show ya! I’ll have […]
Special Effects
October 6, 2011
I don’t often tinker with my photos, besides cropping and sharpening the image. But we took so many stunning images of the Adirondack Mountains when we traveled there two weeks ago… I was inspired! I use Paint Shop Pro X2, a very nice program. It comes with a “time machine” effect. This effect is perhaps […]
Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Review
October 5, 2011
I’m not a great big fan of coconut, but when I got this huge jar of Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil in the mail, my curiosity was piqued. I’d already tried Tropical Traditions Antioxidants Greens drink mix (berry flavor) and it FAR surpassed any of the dietary supplement drink mixes I’ve had. This […]
Meet Me on Monday #51
October 3, 2011
Well, well! I thought this meme was finished, but I guess it was just a summer hiatus. I like it because it’s so easy to answer and it allows me to be creative– when I’ve had enough coffee. Which I haven’t, by the way. But the morning is young. :coffeestat: Questions: 1. I can’t stand […]
