what a great idea pensieve has! a book drawing, i love it. who doesn't like to 'win' or get a 'surprise' and a book is something that can be shared, discussed and bond over. the other thing i like about pensieve is we are encouraged to write poetry and express ourselves . now i do not find myself clever with the words in any way (& the husband is an english lit major to boot) but pensieve has said this is not a competion but a way to express, so with that i entered one of the poem writings. try it, its fun!!!

The F word~ as I approach 45

When I was in my 20's the F word was $#@%. "What the f?" "f*you" "f*off" I don't give a "f" By the time I was in my 30's, married with 2 babies the "F" word became fat.
And I don't mean phat cool bitchin'I mean what happened to the skinny me? As the late 30's were closing in, the "F" word became FORTY! YIKES! When did 40 get here? And how? Anway.........I celebrated 40 just fine! (really its not bad :)Look at Teri Hatcher, Heather Lockelear, Sandra Bullock, Demi & SJP . Now happily the "F" words are all behind me. Hooray....yippeee....WAIT! HOLD UP!! GEEZ 50 is an "F" word. What the "F*"????

mr blackwell's worst dressed is in!

according to mr blackwell posh is the worst dressed.

gwen and eva are wearing darling boots! darling boots i could never wear. 1. i am already just under 5'8 and 2. i couldn't walk in them. reese always looks like a million bucks and halle berry really does look lovely.

so its a new year which means alot of us are ready to face the new year and make
'08 the best. losing weight and exercising seem to be at the top of many lists. weight watchers, jenny craig, golds gym, curves... are all offering specials for the new year. weight loss is a billion dollar industry, and ya know it comes down to just 2 words. STOP EATING!!! the thing is i can't! i know what i need to do, and i know what i need to cut out , but i just love food, and sugar, and cupcakes! and i love to bake and eat what i bake. and exercise??? blahhhh. now the sissie teaches jazzercise and is in tip top shape and she has explained to me that at *ahem* my age i really need to exercise for my bones and body and mind. so acali has decided i will cut back on sugar,add more veggies and fruit and less flour and i'm not going all crazy on the exercise but i will be working out 3 days a week to start. i'm not gonna call it a new year resolution, just getting healthy!
