Be Happy About Something Darnit! 2008-06-12 07:04:52 Gratitude, happiness, smellin' the roses- there are a million different ways to say it. The point is that we need more of it. Oprah has been commanding her viewers to do a dopey-sounding "gratitude journal" for a decade. But lately I am beginning to think there is something to that.Yep, "the Oprah" has won me over. So I am definitely starting a new Linky. One day a week we gott Read more:Happy

Every weekend the nations churches and synagogues are filled with beautiful women, dressed in their best attire and looki
Lackin' a Linkapalooza -Whirlwind Edition 2008-06-15 18:12:35 Aren't Lotus & I and our babies cute? Meredith, the Queen of Hospitality, had Lotus, Karla and I over for one last lunch before I leave Nashville. I had to pretend everything was normal & I wasn't saying goodbye. I hate goodbyes. I tend to just rush away abruptly like it's it's no big deal and cry in the car on my way home. Kind of like what I did when I read this. ~sniffle~ The house is p Read more:Edition

Oprah, Dr. Oz & Fussy say Stop Poisoning Yourselves! 2008-06-18 07:00:00 My homeboy, Dr. Mehmet Oz and his amazing eyebrows, were back on Oprah
to teach us how to stop poisoning ourselves. The show started with two supa-unhealthy people. They followed Dr.Ozzie's instructions on how to stop killing themselves get healthy. Voila, now they are healthier and happier. ~Yawn~ It wasn't exactly titillating, hence the lack of photos for ya'. The good part was when he gave grea

Fight the Frump- Keeping the Wrinkles away. 2008-07-18 11:02:23 You may have noticed that your darling Mrs. Fussypants is a bit on the pasty ghostly pale Irish side. Fair skin and tons of wrinkles sadly go hand in hand. I have been researching the best sunscreen on the market in my ultra-frugal price range. I absolutely love Neutrogena with Helioplex. Much to my dismay, most skin damage is done by UVA rays and traditional SPF refers to UVB protection. ( **le s
Southern Livin'- Junebug Tricks 2008-07-17 10:49:38 I remember visiting my great-grandmother as a little girl and loving her 'country way' of doing things.

But the most amazing trick she taught me was how to turn a scary looking beetle into a toy. Justin, my eldest son, will demonstra Read more:Southern

How to be a social downer 2008-07-15 06:00:00 1. Show how totally unimpressed you are with the whole world. Expressing just how "above it all" you really are is a great way to show your superiority. This works to quickly set yourself apart from the people having mindless fun. 2. Share all your most recent embarrassing and depressing details of your life. When asked how you've been, it is important to really share all the intimate de
