Here are a few souvenirs from my recent web travels:

To ponder:

For Such a time as this for mommas

Courtship in the 24/7 era for teens, singles and parents of teens

Watching the wrong movies not what you think it’s about!

For laughs:

Rooting for Tim Tebow – laughed out loud at this!

For your consideration:

“V” …has anyone else considered this? – I wasn’t going to give this show a try until I read this.  The parallels intrigued me enough to try it out.  What about you?

To mark on your calendar:

I am over at Habits today, talking about purchasing your groceries.  I promised some links and tips here:

Can’t get past the evidence

Love Handles

Even though several people have already posted a link to this, I thought, why not post another?  You can’t get too much of it   After all, that’s MY man (or should I say, love machine?)!  And whether your marriage is great, you need a little help, or are really struggling, come check out this new series at Church @ the Ridge :

Favorite cookbooks

Earlier in the week I blogged about menu-planning on Habits for a Happy Home. One indispensible tool of coming up with a menu is, of course, cookbooks.  I’ll admit that there are weeks when I don’t crack open a single cookbook to plan. I just stick to tried and true favorites that I know by heart.  However, that can get a little dull and I find that I need some inspiration.  Sometimes, I just like looking a the beautiful pictures

Another source for recipes that has become very popular is the web.  Who doesn’t love just typing in what you want to make and coming up with several options.

What’s for Dinner? Part One – Planning

I’m over at Habits for a Happy Home today, so pull up a chair and join me, won’t ya?

Pardon my virtual dust

This blog is under construction.  After a long absence, I am hoping to be up and running again soon with a new look.  I would LOVE your input about things you would like to see on a blog.  What interests you?  Leave a comment and let me know.  See you soon!

Shredded

I know I am way overdue for a shred update.  Let’s just say that I am shredded, but not in the way I had intended   I was doing great until I got the head crud, then I fell off the horse.  I am happy to say that I am back to shredding and feeling much better (and worse) at the same time.  I really noticed the difference when I got out of my routine. 

I think I hurt myself…

I think I hurt myself last night when they announced that Kris Allen had won American Idol.  I jumped off the couch and pulled a muscle in the process.  I love me an underdog.  I have to say that I did take notice of Kris way back.  Everyone was loving Danny and Adam (both brilliant performers), but I said, ” I kind of like that guy”.  But that’s neither here nor there

Anyway, here is a video of my favorite Kris performance.  THIS is why I am thrilled that he won – aside from his obvious talent. Thanks to Michelle for sharing this on facebook.
