As an avid lover of Autumn, I must express my absolute dismay at the snowflakes currently falling outside my window.
I think Hugh Jackman is just super. He's so talented. I mean, seriously. There aren't many leading actors who could pull off a cocky, iron-fisted hero in "X-Men" and then turn around and pull off hosting the Tony Awards by singing, dancing and entertaining the industry's finest. And, he's incredibly good looking to boot.
Thought I'd give a shout out to my good 'ol dad. He's currently a bit under the weather and a patient at PHH.
Word on the street is that Brandi and Michael Knight (of "Project Runway" fame) are becoming a hot new item. Any thoughts?
I was just watching "Access Hollywood." They had a feature story about Star Jones wearing a bikini. No story. No news. Just Star Jones in a bikini.
Had a phone conversation with my good friend, B, yesterday. It had been like five months since we had talked – not cool since we used to be almost inseparable back in our carefree college days. Anyway, we got talking about our relationships. He asked how mine was going. I asked about his.
I'm really into headbands and scarves right now.
I made banana bread yesterday and, I must say, it's darn good.
I have really great friends.
I thought I’d do a quick refresher course on leaves today, seeing as A and I will be busy all day Saturday raking. So, why do leaves turn color in autumn? I’ll tell you. (OK, so I actually stole the information from www.kidzone.com…)
I think cupcakes cones have to be one of my all-time favorite desserts.
Today was the day.
This is so repulsive to me. Is it really worth getting your name in a book? How would you even function?
It seems as though there are new school shootings every day these days. As a family member to a number of teachers, and an employee at a higher educational institution, I'm downright frightened.
Matthew,
I get to see my nephew tonight!!!
I’m a very emotional person. Try as I might to be less driven by emotions, most everything I do in life is dictated by my feelings. I laugh hard and I cry hard. That said, it is often very difficult for me to push feelings aside – even when I no longer realize I’m having them.
Remember that awesome game from grade school called “7up?” (The one where everyone in the class puts their heads down and later are asked to guess which, if any, student tapped them on the shoulder.)
Not sure if this email has any truth to it or not, but thought I'd pass it along to fellow pet owners out there. It certainly concerned me."I recently had a neighbor who had to have their 5-year old German Shepherd dog put down due to liver failure. The dog was completely healthy until a few weeks ago, so they had a necropsy done to see what the cause was. The liver levels were unbelievable, as if the dog had ingested poison of some kind. The dog is kept inside, and when he's outside, someone's with him, so the idea of him getting into something unknown was hard to believe. My neighbor started going through all the items in the house. When he got to the Swiffer Wetjet, he noticed, in very tiny print, a warning which stated "may be harmful to small children and animals." He called the company to ask what the contents of the cleaning agent are and was astounded to find out that antifreeze is one of the ingredients. (actually he was told it's a compound which is one molecule away from anitfreeze).
Therefore, just by the dog walking on the floor cleaned with the solution, then licking it's own paws, and the dog eating from its dishes which were kept on the kitchen floor cleaned with this product, it ingested enough of the solution to destroy its liver.
Soon after his dog's death, his housekeepers' two cats also died of liver failure. They both used the Swiffer Wetjet for quick cleanups on their floors. Necropsies weren't done on the cats, so they couldn't file a lawsuit, but he asked that we spread the word to as many people as possible so they don't lose their animals."
I'm pretty sure a company such as Proctor & Gamble wouldn't put such a toxic product out there for the masses. Still, I must say, when it comes to my pup's health, I'd rather not take any chances.
