I have started a new site that I hope you take the time to visit. I am attempting to create a data base for those who have received medals of distinction through their military career. Stop by and read the stories or register your own.
Our Precious Gift is the freedom that we sometimes take for granted.
I have seen people wearing dog tags lately as a fashion statement and I decided to get one for Michaela. I selected a purple tag because that is her favorite color and had her school name, her name, a music note and viola player engraved on it. I finally received it in the mail today even after having a dumb moment. I ordered the dog tag and thought I entered my correct address when in reality I entered my work street address with my home city and zip. Of course I did not realize I did this until I received an email from the company asking me if I had moved because the tag was returned to them. I replied and told her that I had not moved and she responded with my shipping address. I felt like such an idiot but she told me not to worry about it and she promptly changed my shipping information and I received the tag today on Christmas Eve. She was so helpful and corrected everything even thought it was my own fault. The tag is beautiful and the service was beyond compare. Thank you Quick Trophy for doing such an excellent job on making me feel like you only customer in the world.
Just a little poll I wanted to throw up here to see if any of you received bonuses this holiday season. Remember the days when they are so standard that people counted on them for the holidays. These days some people are lucky to get a free lunch.
When we give of ourselves we give to the world. This is such an inspiring story of a boy with autism who gave of himself to the basketball team and a coach and team that repaid the favor. In the last game the coach decided to give the boy a chance to see what is was like to wear a uniform. With only minutes left in the game the coach put McElway in and he amazed everyone. Please watch this video of him playing in his first game and stealing the show. He scored 20 points in the final minutes of the game. You might want to make sure you have some tissues handy, I know I needed them. Merry Christmas
Thanks to all of the online gamers in the world a new word has been given the top spot in the dictionary…….w00t!!!!!!! I know I have used the term more times than I care to admit but isn’t it much cooler to say w00t than yay? You hear it most often used when someone levels in a game along with the famous
Parson is another term for clergyman or pastor. So Parson Brown is Pastor Brown. They are telling “Pastor Brown” that they are not married but he can marry them when he is in town.
“In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He’ll say ‘Are you married ?’, We’ll say ‘No man,
For you can do the job when you’re in town.’”

About 7 years ago Matt and I decided it was time to start thinking about a new car. We had a 1989 Toyota Corolla with a little over 200,000 miles on it. As many of you know
This is so funny. This is the first dance at their wedding and man do they put on a show. It is so cool to see them have so much fun with it.
My father-in-law sent this to me. It is a haka performed by Gingerbread men. It is so cute. If you do not know what a haka is let me explain. A haka is a traditional dance form of the Maori of New Zealand. It is a posture dance with shouted accompaniment, preformed by a group. It is one of my favorite forms of dance. It just has so much energy and life and they can be quite loud. We saw this type of dance done on your first trip to Hawaii.
For this guy not to have children he really hit the nail on the head. He must have had a crazy childhood. Just for the record the Wiggles to creep me out a little too. Have fun with this one and don’t take it too serious. I think everyone needs a pill every now and then. Just laugh for a minute but if you laugh for 10-15 minutes everyday you could lose 4 pounds a year. Think about it, you laughing right now aren’t you?
I took a quiz to see how much blogging ruled my life and I was surprised. With NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) going on this month I thought my number would have been much higher. I fell like I am blogging my fingers to the bone for NaBloPoMo but we only have 1 day left so it is almost over and I have done it. I have blogged everyday for the entire month of November. Horray for me. I am very proud of the fact that I accepted the challangen and completed it.

Matt and I spend our honeymoon in Key West and we had a blast. One of the things we did was the ghost tour and it was so much fun. You leave for the tour at dusk so by the time you get the really scary stuff it is really dark expect for the lantern carried by the guide telling the creepy stories. Michaela was in tears by the time we left the last house on the tour which was Robert’s house. It did not help her situation that most of the people in the tour were saying; do you see that in the window? It was all too much for Michaela to bear. It was so much fun; we hope to do it again someday.
I love to do those quizzes and put widgets and cool stuff on my pages. I was looking around for some cool Blog Stuff and I came across this site that has just what I was looking for. Everything from cool blog stickers (the equivalent to bumper stickers) to quizzes to see if you are a geek or how much energy your body produces. I know you have always wondered, would you survive a zombie apocalypse? You better stick with me because I have a 40% chance of survival, on the other hand maybe you should take the test and get back to me, and maybe I will be hanging out with you. Have fun and post your badges.40%
In 70-431, previous experience of 1Y0-259 as well as 70-292 counts a lot. This is why it is advised that one should go for 70-536 or 642-523 before attempting TB0-107, since that exempts one from 642-845 totally.
Workbenches can be a life saver and a space saver. I have a work bench for all of my sewing material and the added space comes in handy for those big projects. Matt and I have to sometimes share the same space so having the ability to quickly store away projects that are being worked on so that new projects can be started is priceless. With all of the storage space under the bench we are still able to keep a neat appearance through all of chaos.
Letters From Santa are a great pass time at Christmas. They help parents keep the belief in Santa alive. My daughters are 17, 13 and 16 months and I have rule: Santa does not bring gifts to children that do not believe in Santa. My two oldest will still tell you that they believe in Santa and that is the way I want it to stay. Christmas is such a magical time in a child’s life and I think we should do everything we can to keep that little part of innocence for as long as possible.
I was looking around for Christmas cards and it is getting harder and harder to find good quality cards these days. I want a card with a beautiful picture and a heart felt verse inside, why do I have to choose one over the other? Gallery Collection not only meets my needs for a personal Christmas card but they also have Corporate Christmas Cards as well. They did not forget out the little person, nor did they forget about our soldiers during this special time of the year. They have teamed up with Soldier’s Angels and donated a card to every soldier that tells them thank you for all that they do. They also supplied them with a blank card and envelope so that they could write home to their loved ones.
Serendipity 3, a restaurant in Manhattan that introduced the most expensive dessert according to the Guinness Book of World records was shut down due to an infestation of roaches and mice. The restaurant failed two consecutive health inspections and was forced to close its doors. What makes this dessert so expensive you ask? It comes with an 18-karat gold bracelet, 1-caret of diamonds at the base of the goblet, edible gold flakes and truffles that sell for $2,600 per pound. This just goes to show you that just because you pay and arm and a leg for something does not mean it is better than Baskin Robbins.
Wouldn’t it be nice to be surrounded by beautiful flowers for your Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner but think fresh flowers by the bunch are out of your budget? When you buy wholesale flowers you get to buy them straight from the growers at a discount price. You can not get flowers fresher than these unless you grow them yourself and what a wonderful treat for all of your guest to have fresh flowers at the dinner table.
I hope you are as excited about Christmas as I am. I know we have not made it to Thanksgiving yet but I wanted to put up some Christmas coloring pages to get a jump start on the holiday spirit. I am already reading Lani Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and pointing out Santa for her. I can’t wait. So anyway enjoy the coloring sheets.
