I am about THIS close (my thumb and index finger are nearly touching each other) to breaking down and ordering my very own Snuggie. The ad below is quite irresistable. I especially love the part where the lady is so put off by having to answer her phone and take her hands out of a regular old blanket! Blankets just "slip and slide".
And as I understand it, right now I can get 2 Snuggies for the price of one?!! (How happy would Fermin be?!) Oh, and with a reading light thrown in?!
This commercial alone is worth the cost of the Snuggie! BRILLIANT.

My New Blog- Get Ready, Because It's Coming!
Sometimes I come up with an idea that seem so great at the time. I kick it around, sleep on it, and then usually, by the next day I've talked myself out of any forward movement with it.
What if I just did it? What if I at least started on it, before I talked myself out of it? I'm sure I'd find many of these ideas aren't, in fact, worth pursuing. But maybe, just maybe, some of them are.
So tonight, I have this idea. I keep kicking it around. But before I even sleep on it, I'm throwing my idea out here, on this blog.
Here's first some background information, and then...my idea!
Last time I made a cd it took me a long time. Sure, I had my reasons, ranging from losing my mom, to getting new recording software and having to learn to use it. But then months and months and months passed and the longer I waited, and the more I avoided it, the more daunting the task became. I have vowed to myself that making a cd will never take me that long again.
This past year, I wrote a lot of songs. I participated in an on-line challenge called simply "50 Songs in 90 Days". I've had in mind for a while now that my next cd would be called "90 Days" and I would salvage the best of those 50 songs.
At this point, the task seems big. So big I seem to already be avoiding it. I'm avoiding listening to those songs. I'm resisting sitting down and editing them.
So the idea I had today was, "How 'bout creating a blog all about the making of the cd?" It would be a great way to hold myself accountable, to keep moving forward, and hopefully entertain some visitors to my site. I thought I might post some songs, and perhaps invite feedback on which songs go on the cd, the order, etc. I thought I might tell a bit about the process as it is for me. I'm not sure what will come up, but I think at least for me, it will be a pretty cool journey.
Why not? I might wake up tomorrow and ask myself, "What were you thinking?!" But right now, the idea sounds great. Right now I'm excited about it. Right now I can't see any reason why I wouldn't want to do this. I love blogging, and I love looking back on something and seeing how far I've come.
So right now, my only question is, what can I call my new blog?
Watch for it on my site, because I'm just going to do it!

All Over the World
Today is a great day!
We have a new president- A great man, President Obama!
And not only are we celebrating him here in the USA, but I'm pretty sure it sends a message out to the world...

...Waiting For This Moment...
I have always loved the song, Blackbird, written by Paul McCartney. He said (not to me directly, but in a book I have) that he wrote it in reaction to the civil rights movement.
Today is a great day. By the end of it, we will have a new president- President Barack Obama.

She Doesn't Have to Shave
Whoa.
Women have it so hard. It begins when we are girls. Puberty and all those weird hormones. It's so embarrassing when boobs start growing and your mom takes you to get your first bra. Then when you start your period it is scary- blood always is!
Then we have to be careful not to get pregnant at the "wrong" time, and then we sometimes have to work hard to get pregnant at the "right" time. Some of us (it seems, most of us) go thru child birth. Ouch. Some of us do not. Ouch.
We have to get mammograms. We have to get pap smears. All super fun events that we do pretty regularly once we get to a certain age. But we get them to prevent bad stuff from happening, or rather to catch things early if it does.
We deal with PMS and periods every single month. UNTIL, we start going thru perimenopause. And then menopause. And then we only wish we could get back to having those damn regular monthly periods.
But at least we women do not have to shave our faces!
