Yogi lessons
No, not that Yogi. The other kind .. as in yoga. That’s right, yoga. See, I’ve had this DVD sitting around for probably 6 months now. Just took the plastic off last week. Popped it in after a long walk, thinking it might benefit me. And it did. But wait – there’s more! Tuesday night, [...]
Self-sabotage or something else?
Self-sabotage or self-preservation? Let’s look at the root of both words: Sabotage – to damage, disrupt, interfere with or harm. Preservation – referring to protection, safeguarding, maintenance or continuation. I’ve used the first when I might really have meant the second; talk about different meanings… yikes! Have you ever charged so hard down a goal’s [...]

Panera Cares: The question is .. will we?

We should have bought the full-sized model however but that was our oversight! Regardless, the rotisserie is fun, simple [...]

Kapow Kapow, baby
As much of a tomboy as I was growing up, I just love me some kitten eyes now. Nothing says Kapow Kapow, Baby more than smoky, smoldering, meow-mix kitten eyes. Think Sophia Loren – Eva Mendes – Joan Collins – Brigitte Bardot – smoky and spicy hot! Not appropriate for day time. Barely appropriate for night (me-yowza!) My source [...]
