Some of my friends and I decided to go play tennis this past weekend since it was perfect weather on Saturday. It wasn’t too hot or too cool so we hit the courts. As luck would have it, I think I got a shin splint. Now I don’t know much about shin splints so my friend recommended I check this web site. It’s full of all kinds of wonderful information on what a shin splint is and how to make it better. In fact, it has a list from a-z of injuries. It will explain what the injury really is and how to make it better so you can’t ask for more than that. It just might save you a doctor bill you know, and I like the sounds of that.
I am so very blessed
I have had a best friend since 4th grade. We have been through our rough spots but we always manage to come back together as best friends. I don’t know many people that have had a best friend as long as I have and with that in mind, I feel so very blessed. I can call her and she instantly knows how to make me smile or laugh like a couple of school girls. We have been through some very hard times together and knowing that she’s there for me means the world to me.
I don’t hardly even have to explain to her what I’m feeling because she knows me well enough to know just by the tone of my voice. Isn’t that amazing? I sure think so. I would give the world to find a husband that understands me like she does but most of the ones that are like that already have boyfriends. Well girlfriend, I just wanted to let the world know how much you mean to me and make sure you know just how much I treasure you for who you are and I think that’s a pretty amazing person. After all, if you can put up with me for all of these years and still love me, that makes you the most special person on the face of the earth to me!! I love you more than words can say girlfriend.
Swine flu scare
There are so many people that are over reacting about the threat of swine flu. I have started seeing people walking around all of the time in crowds wearing surgical masks. I could maybe see it on an airplane or in Texas but not everywhere. I just don’t understand all of the over reacting. Not once have I heard that the threat is as bad as some are making it out to be. Now I could see someone being afraid if they did this.
Gotcha didn’t I?
Can you believe what they did to these Poodles?
There was an extreme grooming competition and you would not believe what they did to some of these poodles. If you have ever had a poodle and taken them to the groomers, you can tell they know they look good by the way they prance around after getting groomed. Well I wonder if these dogs pranced around or tried to hide from embarrassment. I personally think they would be embarrassed! I was embarrassed for some of them myself but some of them were really awesome. See for yourself.
But my favortie one was this one. This poodle lost a leg to cancer and what a better symbol for him than the USMC!!!
I love our neighborhood
One of the things I love about our neighborhood is the fact that there are a lot of really big trees. They didn’t bulldoze down all of the trees to build the neighborhood and then plant a bunch of little trees. I hate it when they do that. With the old trees left in tact, there are also a lot of animals and birds throughout the neighborhood. I absolutely love to watch the squirrels play in the trees and on the ground. The only problem I have with them is they love my bird feeders. I feed more squirrels than I do birds. I also have a squirrel feeder but they don’t only eat their food, they like the bird food too.
Well I needed something to keep them away from my bird feeders and not hurt the squirrels. I tried putting Vaseline on the pole and that worked for a short time. Then I found a squirrel repellent that won’t hurt them but keep them away from what I want them away from. This stuff works great. In fact, it will keep a lot of unwanted animals away like skunks too. My best friend had a skunk in her back yard and boy was he a stinker. He sprayed my dog when we were visiting. Since she got this repellent, no more stinker!!!
Some of you might have seen this before
With spring busting out everywhere, it brings to my mind this video that I had gotten. Life is so precious and so beautiful as is nature but the things we take as the 7 wonders of the world are all man made in some form or another. Watch this and you’ll see the 7 wonders a bit differently. I sure did!!!!
Divorce hurts children too
It’s sad when a family breaks up. Sure it’s hard on the couple but what about the children? They are sometimes treated like property or a bargaining chip which only hurts the children even more. Luckily in this day in time parents are beginning to realize just what divorce does to their children and are trying to make it as painless as possible for their children. Usually it takes lawyers and sometimes mediators to come to reasonable visitation or time-sharing if you will, for both parents. With lawyers or the court system, there’s a lot of money involved also which can lead to even more arguing.
Now there’s a software called Parenting Plan which acts as a mediator would but saves the parents a lot of money. It’s also recognized in all courts so it could save your children a lot of heartache, you a lot of money and the courts a lot of time trying to make two adults act like two adults instead of two children fighting over their children. Can you imagine how a child would feel in that situation? I have seen it happen too many times and with the divorce rate so high, I’m going to recommend this to anyone I know getting a divorce that has children.

Mom’s treating us girls to a spa treatment in NY
My mother is really going all out with herself and including us girls too. She’s been doing a lot of redecorating and remodeling and now is thinking about doing a little upkeep on herself. This time, she has decided to make it a family thing. She just called each of us and told us that she’s treating us to a trip to New York for a laser hair removal holiday and shopping spree. She said that she was checking out some places online and came across this site. This place uses state of the art technology and a highly skilled cosmetic staff and provide permanent hair removal solutions to thousands of satisfied customers in each of their modern clinics. You can even contact them today to schedule a Free complimentary test patch and receive a price quote.
Mom must have liked the price quote they gave her because she went ahead and scheduled appointments for all of us for next Friday. We will all have the treatment and then get the whole weekend with Mom in New York City. We used to go there at least once a year for different shopping excursions or spa treatments. It’s Mom’s way of still spoiling us and she does a great job of it.
Looks like Mom’s remodeling more than the house
Like I have been telling you, Mom is doing a lot of new things to the house like new blinds, new furniture and even some remodeling of the beach house. Well it seems that she’s even doing a little remodeling of herself too. She started complaining about having some discoloration on her face. I guess you would call them age spots and she’s not liking what she’s seeing. Daddy was always telling her how beautiful she is and now all she gets to hear is how she thinks she looks and she’s starting to think she looks old. I think she looks great for her age but when I said that, she didn’t appreciate it.
Next thing I know, I find Obagi Clear in her bathroom cabinet. No I wasn’t snooping, I was looking for a bandage. In wanting to make sure my mother had bought a good product, I decided to check it out. She couldn’t have gotten a better product after what I read. It’s clear so you don’t look ‘made up’ when you put it on or chalky like some creams and it is a prescription products for fighting wrinkles and age spots. I also saw where they will send you a free gift on orders over $60. Mom did good when she found this product. In fact, she’s looking younger already.
