<br />
A lot has happened in the last few years.<br />
<br />
I had to say goodbye to my father. Also to my lovely cat Chloe. I got married. We bought our dream home. We adopted a new puppy. I turned 40. I got my Florida Real Estate License & we traveled, traveled, traveled.<br />
<br />
Through these last few years I have grown in so many ways and have to say I feel more sound in my feet than ever.<br />
<br />
I still have a passion for writing & creating. I don't think that fire will ever go out.<br />
<br />
Actually, every day I have missed it and thought about it more than before. I love that there are so many opportunities to let our voices shine. I love that each person has a different point of view and when they create it is different from person to person. I love the freedom we have to create our own destiny.<br />
<br />
So. I hope everyone out there is taking advantage of their destiny and pushing the envelope to become what each and everyone of you wants to become in life.<br />
<br />
There is so much I want to do...<br />
I'll be here by your side. Plugging along...<br />
<br />

This past weekend I met S for breakfast at Cristo's diner in College Park.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
As I was driving through town, I saw that our Veterinarian </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was having an OPEN HOUSE. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After breakfast, I decided to pop by and see </div>

I thought it was completely adorable how they had the stuffed animals<br />
posed as if they were in surgery or if they were getting an Xray.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It put a huge smile on my face knowing Zoey and Chloe are in safe hands.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only was the tour a great experience but, when my BEST BUDDY ~ GUS </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was very ill earlier in the year S brought him to see Dr. Olson. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After 18 years together and a long struggle to get him better we had to sadly let him go.</div>

When I arrived they handed me this.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Dr. Olson and her staff are top notch! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They <u>always</u> go above and beyond and you can tell they love what they do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If your best buddy is sick and needs to see a Dr. bring him/her to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Varsity Veterinary Center</span>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They will take great care of them!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other day, I was going to S's office </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and, as I was leaving I saw that there was a </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
new store located in the same block.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">It's called: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: magenta;">RETROMENDED</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">1231A N. Orange Ave, Orlando, FL</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not able to resist, I popped in and as </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I perused around I chatted with Brandy, the owner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As, I busied myself looking for my needle in the hay stack</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found myself thinking how well put together this boutique was.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything had it's place. Color coded by rack. Every color in the rainbow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Music was light and soothing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vintage pieces from as far back as the 20's.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was really enjoying to be in this space.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had an arm full of selections and in the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
dressing room I went to try them all on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found myself not able to put down this one piece. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It reminded me of my childhood </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the sweaters my mother used to knit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looking in the mirror I saw myself as a small child running </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
around playing with my sisters and all of us having on one of my </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mom's hand made sweaters just like this one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SOLD!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I submerged from the dressing room with my needle </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and a huge smile on my face!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brandy immediately tells me that this is one of her </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
favorite pieces in the store too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BINGO! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again, SOLD!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am currently having my treasure dry </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cleaned but here are ones that I found </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on the web that resemble it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one is the exact same style and cut of the one I purchased. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mine is tan with bright green flowers.</div>

One of the coolest things I have seen in a long time...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: large;">The Little Free Library Project</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/46694008#46694008">http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/46694008#46694008</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It all stemmed from a loving son wanting to honor his late mother and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
her love for books and reading.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wisconsin resident, Todd Bol decided to dedicate and build a little library in his mothers memory thinking it would be the perfect way to honor her life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He had no idea it would become a nationwide phenomena and people would want to create and place them in their community too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little Free Library Project's goal is to build mini libraries and place them in parks and communities to help promote literacy and bring neighbors together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What a great idea!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The way it works is that visitors can pick a book and in exchange they can leave one to keep the library stocked. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No library card needed... just the need to read!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is said that contributors are encouraged to write a little note in </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the inside cover explaining the reason why the book was given to the library.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*****</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I heard about this I immediately loved the idea!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a huge - reader... I LOVE BOOKS! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have the Kindle Fire... and love the fact that it is easy to read in bed with... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but, on the flip side </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I miss having an actual hard copy of the book in my hands. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love to flip the pages and feel the parchment under my fingers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to make notes and dog ear pages to go back to...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, I am guilty! I will re-read books if I think they are worthy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So when hearing that my friend Jannette was raising money to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
place a Little Library in our community *Fleet Dog Park,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so excited to hear that she was working so hard to make it happen!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was thinking how cool... I bring Zoey to that same dog park and it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
would be really cool to see the little library there in all of it's glory. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
People can take a book, leave a book </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and help a good cause at the same time! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a few more days until her pledge date is up... She still needs donations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you believe in the cause please donate and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
help make this little library a reality!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
&</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When you are at the dog park check it out!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Wow, I can not believe it has been a while since I have written...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A lot has happened. We lost a member of the family, GUS, my cat of 18 yrs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Added a new addition to the family, ZOEY, our new GoldenDoodle puppy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(her name was Chloe but, seeing I already have a cat with that name we changed it up a little)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all moved to a house in the burbs... and, are settled in and loving it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The summer is almost over, storms seem to have become an every day occasion & </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am over joyed to have a pool in the back yard!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
S & I have been busy bees for the last couple of months. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All is great in my world.</div>

She is 5 months old and is a Golden Doodle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, that is half Golden Retriever and half Poodle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is the newest addition to our home and we are loving the heck out of her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am enjoying Saturday morning puppy school (Petsmart)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and am </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so pleased that training </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Zoey has not been too much of a stuggle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She already knows how to do an array of commands!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since becoming a part of the dog owner world</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
one thing that has been on my mind a lot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to admit, as a non-dog owning citizen </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never really paid any attention </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to who was and who was not picking up their poop. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, now that I am and I am out walking in the grass </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
dodging it, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to say it <b>grosses me out</b>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can not understand why people are so inconsiderate to not </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pick their dogs poop up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sit on my balcony and watch the people from our condo complex </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
walk their dogs and walk away from the poop like they can not be bothered.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
kicker is: THE CONDO SUPPLIES POOP BAGS FOR FREE!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

How can someone own an animal and not care enough about others to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
not pick up after it????</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was talking to the vet the other day and not only is it gross to step in...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BUT, dog poop is hazardous!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It carries worms that other dogs can easily catch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
& it is dangerous for children. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just think of the poop on your shoe (or) in/on a dogs paw being tracked </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in your house on the rugs </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and oops... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
baby on a blanket on the floor catches something.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
GROSS!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
IDK... people are just <i>silly</i> to me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My message for the day is:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do yourself, your dog and your neighbors a favor!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">PICK UP AFTER YOUR PET</span></div>

Drop-off and networking is between 1:00-2:00pm. The Swap will start <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">promptly at 2:00pm and will stay open until 3:30pm.</span><br />2. <strong><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">Bring up to 10 items</span></strong> <strong>to trade</strong>. You don't have to limit your swaps to clothing; bring accesories, shoes and even unopened cosmetics and perfumes.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">3. <strong><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">Only clothes that are washed, pressed and hung will be accepted</span></strong>. There is no need for them to be dry-cleaned.<br />4. <strong>Items will be inspected. </strong></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">Don't bring anything</span> stained, ripped or outdated.</span></strong> In other words, don’t bring anything you wouldn't lend to your best friend. </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">5. <strong><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">Please don’t bring items that should not be swapped for hygienic reasons. </span></strong><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">I</span>tems like underwear or swimwear should not be brought, unless they still have the tags on. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">6. <strong><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">Every item will have the same value</span></strong>, this is why it is so important that you are detached from all your fashion items and happy to see them go to a new home. </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">7. <strong>There will always be a chance that you might not find anything that you like, want or maybe fit in</strong>.

I went home with a friend one day in college and her kitchen was filled with kittens.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They were climbing all over me and he caught my eye.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was sitting next to the leg of a wood stove just watching me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to take him home!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He stayed with me in my college dorm room for the rest of the year </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and he has been with me every step of the way </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
until yesterday... He was almost 18 years old.</div>

As usual, Gus loved to get into boxes or even my luggage. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whenever I would travel, he would get in thinking </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he could come too! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just a few weeks ago when I was getting packed for Dallas... </div>

Today, I thought it would be great to give a little brush up on </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ETIQUETTE.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you ever sat and watched people as they were eating?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and it is not only comical, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
& disgusting at points </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but, in some cases it is thrilling to see someone </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
who is actually using proper etiquette.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It may seem a little "old school" but I love the formality of it all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I looked up the meaning of Etiquette and this is what it said:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a system of rules and conventions that regulate social </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and professional behavior.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Why do most people only bring out their manners </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when they know people are watching???</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Why not use them all the time?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
A formal dinner consists of 7 courses - in this order: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
soup, salad, fish, sorbet or pallet cleanser, meat or fowl dish, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
dessert and coffee.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a great picture that I found of a proper place setting. </div>

then guests follow and place their napkin on their laps.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Rule of thumb with Cutlery</span> - Use from the inside out, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
once a utensel has been used it should not touch the table again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Rule of thumb with flatware </span>- The number of silverware pieces </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Taste food before salt & peppering.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Proposing a Toast!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The custom of clinking glasses originally was used to drive away evil spirits.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you clink, do so with care, especially with fine crystal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the most part, simply raise your glass in the direction </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of the person being toasted. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Toasts should be long enough to cover the subject but short </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
enough to be amusing *about a minute.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Toast people in their native tongue:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spanish - Salud (SA Lud)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Irish - Slainte (SLAWNT tche)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yiddish - L'chaim (leh KHY yim)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
German - Prosit (PRO sit)</div>

Every Monday, I find myself clock watching.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sit in anticipation </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of the new showing </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of my favorite TV show.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not sure if any of you out there have seen it... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but if you have not,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it is <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">A MUST</span>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was laying in bed one Sunday afternoon </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
playing on my Kindle Fire & bumped into an HBO trailer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was all about the creation of the show, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the fashion, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the characters </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the whole idea behind the plot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was sucked in & lay in bed all day and night </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(until 3am to be completely honest)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
watching the whole first season.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
S kept telling me I was crazy but, I <i>could not</i> get enough!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the end... I have to admit, I did cry a tear or 2.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so into the characters, story lines & what was happening </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that when it was over </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found myself searching to see when the next season would air.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was in luck! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next season started only 2 weeks away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I called my cable company the next day & ordered HBO.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few days later I came home and found S on the couch watching the series </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was sucked in too... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
LOL<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are now into the second season </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& we can not wait to see what is going to unfold.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
******</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did a little research and found that the story line<br />
has come from a series of books.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, mind you, I usually am not the type of person to read a series of books.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tried that years ago with Harry Potter and lost interest when<br />
the first movie came out.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This series I am going to read though!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The author is George R. R. Martin & </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the series consists of 7 books.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. A Game of Thrones</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. A Clash of Kings</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. A Storm of Swords</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. A Feast for Crows</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. A Dance with Dragons</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. The Winds of Winter (not yet released)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. A Dream of Spring (not yet released)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The plot is clever, the characters are impeccably chosen &<br />
the producer has a marvelous eye for detail.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It feels like you are watching a movie that never ends!<br />
<br />
******</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favorite characters from season 1 are:<br />
<br />
Of Course, you have to love Eddard Stark, "Ned"<br />
He is the protector & honorable man of WinterFeld.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

For over a month now, I have been transforming my diet and workout.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A friend introduced S & I to these delicious shakes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& I had to share them because I am in <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">LOVE</span></i>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are looking for something to help get your </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
body in shape along with lessen </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the burden of figuring out what </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to have for breakfast & lunch,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this shake is perfect!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is the Vi-Shape shake by <a href="http://healthyfitandsexy.com/2010/06/14/vi-shape-nutritional-shake-mix/">ViSalus Science</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not only are you introducing a schedule to your eating habits </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but, you are adding the proper nutrients that you need to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
keep your body preforming at it's best.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I run in the morning - 2mi./3 days a week </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
come home </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
& do sit-ups, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
push-ups/other exercises.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then, make my shake!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is so simple!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
S & I bought 2 little single serve blenders. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta; font-size: x-small;">*mine is pink :) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We go to the grocery store Sundays and pick out </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
our fresh fruit, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
granola & nuts for the week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Then, Viola!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The powder tastes like cake batter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(not <i>too</i> sweet like all the other shake options out there)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You add your choice of milk. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(I use almond) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 ice cubes, 2 scoops of shake </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
& what ever fruit, granola, nuts you like.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I look forward to it every morning & sometimes </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also make one for lunch!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have leaned down, feel better & am 100% in<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"> <i>LOVE</i> </span>with these shakes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The line has many other options if you </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
want to add vitamins etc too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Try them out and let me know what you think!</div>

In my travels for looking for art of all kinds </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and stories that put a tingle in my spine,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found <i>this</i>...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"100 years later, Denmark's Little Mermaid Gets a New Gentleman Friend"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seems to be that in Denmark,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there is quite a "celebrity"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that has been bringing tourists </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to her side for over</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
100 years. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
In 1913, Carl Jacobsen of Carlsberg breweries </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
presented the city of Copenhagen with </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Little Mermaid Statue.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(She was placed at a test site in 1912)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sculptor Edvard Erichsen was commissioned to create a statue of dancer Ellen Price </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who appeared in the "The Little Mermaid"- Fini Henriques' ballet in 1909.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Much like the Disney story - The Little Mermaid, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the story behind Copenhagen's Little Mermaid is very similar but with a different ending.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In Christian Andersen's poem she gives her tongue to a witch in trade, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to become human so that she could join </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
her love and live on land.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Mermaid never actually marries her prince and this </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
statue represents her living as a mute, unable to walk without pain &</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sitting on the waters edge reminiscing over </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
her childhood / loss of her life as a mermaid.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">~ She gave it all up for love ~</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is quite a sad story, and many people visit her to see her aching presence.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has become one of the most coveted tourist sites.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It's that time of year again. </span> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spring has arrived bringing us </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the vibrant colors & warmth of summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As we brush off the chill of the winter weather </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& pack away our sweaters and coats</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we welcome the new bloom </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that comes with the mark of Easter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every year we spend time with family & </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cook to our hearts content while</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
enjoying our faith/traditions.<br />
<br />
ie: the usual dying of eggs & hiding of the basket.</div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yes, most of the time in my pjs.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today, I was a little under the weather </div><div style="text-align: center;">& needed something to keep me going.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Usually when that happens, I go to Itunes </div><div style="text-align: center;">& look around for something great to listen to.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today though, I was reading my usual <a href="http://www.msn.com/">morning news</a> & </div><div style="text-align: center;">saw that the 47th Annual ACM Awards were on TV last night.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(I seem to ALWAYS miss these award shows for some reason)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anywhoo, I started looking around on <a href="http://wonderwall.msn.com/music/hit-or-miss-acm-awards-18879.gallery">WonderWall</a> - </div><div style="text-align: center;">to see what people were wearing to the awards,</div><div style="text-align: center;">& I found myself looking </div><div style="text-align: center;">up a few bands that I had not heard of </div><div style="text-align: center;">before on Itunes.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I generally am not a lover of Country Music.</div><div style="text-align: center;">But, the next artists that came up I knew.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have heard a few of their songs in the past,</div><div style="text-align: center;"> but I never really </div><div style="text-align: center;">knew how talented they are.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">But, most of all </div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope to make this a place where my friends </div><div style="text-align: center;">can come to find out about </div><div style="text-align: center;">new & interesting </div><div style="text-align: center;">topics.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today, I wanted to introduce <a href="http://www.eggdrop.com/">EGGDROP</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4yxa4yUoTcFxtYHMwSTMgq2zXeTMvVSCqCalMMna2Id3qzSOmADmXhFOxk80bG4m0kzW38tCGb-dE9qL4A1V-YW9ndwNwe-6R_yePWZ_zS075wvegYOsH2cnL_WB7gwdbrzyzv7k8CPYA/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-03-29+at+10.23.57+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="32" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4yxa4yUoTcFxtYHMwSTMgq2zXeTMvVSCqCalMMna2Id3qzSOmADmXhFOxk80bG4m0kzW38tCGb-dE9qL4A1V-YW9ndwNwe-6R_yePWZ_zS075wvegYOsH2cnL_WB7gwdbrzyzv7k8CPYA/s320/Screen+shot+2012-03-29+at+10.23.57+AM.png" width="320" /></a></div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I did what I said I was going to do ---> clean out my closet from hell.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It took me almost half a day, but I did it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have a HUGE pile of clothing, shoes, purses & stuff that I purged.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was looking for a place to post it for sale thinking </div><div style="text-align: center;">I could make a little money to go buy some new wears.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Instead of lugging it to the local consignment shop.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I looked at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy</a> - they only do Vintage clothing.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I checked<a href="http://www.ebay.com/"> ebay</a> - the fee to post is kinds high.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I checked <a href="http://www.craigslist.com/">Craigslist</a> - it takes a lot of time.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I looked on the internet...<br />
& found<br />
<a href="http://www.bonanza.com/">bonanza</a><br />
<a href="http://www.thredup.com/">thredup</a><br />
<a href="http://www.dresm.com/">dresm</a><br />
<a href="http://www.style.ly.com/">style.ly</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">They all are <i>okay</i> to sell on... BUT, I found it a hassle to post.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, months back I was with friends and someone showed me <a href="http://www.eggdrop.com/">EGGDROP</a>.<br />
We fooled around with it that night selling a cold drink... lol<br />
<br />
I was laying in bed yesterday morning and thought, why not.<br />
<br />
So I popped up, grabbed my phone & started taking pictures.<br />
<br />
It really is as simple as that!<br />
<br />
You take the picture, add the description, the price and post it. <br />
and, there is no fee to post, sell or buy!<br />
<br />
Your listing not only can be posted on Eggdrop for sale<br />
but, you can by <i>only</i> a click of a button<br />
post it on twitter & facebook<br />
then, it gives an option to post your items to Craigslist.<br />
<br />
All in a timeframe of maybe 3 minutes an item!<br />
<br />
Now, I know selling stuff is a hassle & all<br />
but just learning the app was great!<br />
<br />
I <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><i>LOVE</i></span> new technology!<br />
<br />
Eggdrop is mainly used for local sales<br />
so this means people will be stopping by your<br />
house to get their purchases --> much like Craigslist.<br />
<br />
What I decided to do was add a line telling the viewer<br />
that they can have their purchase shipped for an additional fee<br />
& that I accept paypal.<br />
Tada!<br />
Just like if I posted it on one of the above sites but, you get much more exposure.<br />
<br />
Another great feature is on Eggdrop you can make an offer for the item. <br />
If you do not want to pay the listed price then you can offer your own.<br />
Genius!<br />
<br />
Try it out and let me know what you think.<br />
Clean the clutter away & make some money from it already!<br />
(if you don't someone else will when you donate or consign it)<br />
<br />
While you are there,<br />
check my sales out<br />
& buy some of my stuff! ;) lol<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a little girls clothing line </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that a high school friend of mine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
co-created.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The site is adorable, the song welcoming and the clothing <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">is cute</span>!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was speaking to a few of my mommy girlfriends the other day </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
about the clothing & they raved about the quality, cute-ness and price.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not in the mommy loop but when I enter </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait to buy my first piece!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*** I hope I have a girl to dress up!!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Did you know that over 95% of all people </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
have no idea </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what clothing they own </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because it's crammed and stuffed </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
into their closet & drawers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
For months now, I have been telling S that I need </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
to clean out and organize my closet...</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
each weekend I say I am going to do it... but,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
it just hasn't happened.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
Well, now that summer is on it's way the timing is perfect!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
I am a firm believer that: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
IF YOU DON'T SEE IT, YOU WON'T WEAR IT!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I have made up my mind that I am going </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to tackle my closet & drawers this weekend </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& get myself back in that 5% bracket.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have put together 5 easy ways to get it done & thought </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would share in case you are one of the 95% who need a nudge!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
:) here we go!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">1. Sort your clothing in 2 piles</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(a) clothing you wear </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(b) clothing you have not worn in 12 months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ donate (b)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">2. Categorize pile </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">(a) </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ie: work, going out, working out, summer, winter, sweaters, jeans etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">3. Iron everything</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(ugh, I know... this part is horrible, but, think of how nice </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it will all look on the hanger and folded nicely in your drawers.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*remember, this is a NEW start to a cleaner, more organized you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*and, this will help you sort your dry cleaning items and any items that </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you need to get altered & mended</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">4.</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Leave space between hanging clothing </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">& </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">also, keep articles in drawers in rows</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* this will help keep things in order long term</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*you can even go as far as putting each outfit on </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& taking a picture to catalog your wears</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Organize shoes, accessories & personal items too</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
everything has it's place & is easy to get to<br />
<br />
and,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ta-da!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Easy Peasy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Remember to keep this up with each load of laundry / dry cleaning pick up...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The one way to change a bad habit in life is to start and to not look back!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good luck, put some music on and have fun with it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you find some great treasures deep down in there </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that you have forgotten about!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
