Okay! I’m into doing a lot of eye exercising this month — and some little hand calisthenics to boot. Now, I’m going to rachet things up a bit, and do some mental exercises. How about looking at some plants that are friendly, and will be easy to plant and maintain come spring. I guess you’d call this making some kind of plan for garden improvements.

“Self,” it goes without saying — where would we be without it? It’s who we are. Our “Spirit” and “Personality” is all wrapped up to the core.

When it comes to dressing — men have it over us women. They keep it simple, comfortable and stylish for the most part. As far as what to wear — they don’t have much choice (hence “Men’s Wear Daily”). They do it well. I guess that’s why it’s easy for them to stay neat.  So I don’t have much to say to them.

I’m not against schools. I don’t think the four year universities are all what they’re “cracked up” to be. Also, there is a lot of excess baggage coming with that degree.

I’m always looking for the simplest ways of doing things. It all comes from making things way too difficult in the past.

Education is the work that our children do to prepare them for their life’s work, but it’s getting more and more expensive these days (it gets worse in the college level).

The time is always right to find extra savings for the “money jar” or the ole “piggy bank”. But did you know that some times are better than others for getting the most “bang for your buck”? Well, there really is a time to do most almost everything, but I forgot about the list until I saw this article on line. (more…)

Okay! Enough is enough of the cute little cupcakes. Time to get back to the daily fare. Time to get back on track with my eating plan. If “not now then when”? After all it is summer the best time to shed those extra pounds.

Doing a little “window shopping” today when this passed by. The colors were pretty and that’s probably why I “thumbed up”, but then I realized what it was. This is one of my pet peeves: UNCOMFORTABLE SHOES!!! It can be hard finding a comfortable pair of shoes these days. (more…)
