Christmas has come and gone, my tree is packed away along with my lights that twinkled in the windows. The wreaths have been stored and the Christmas villages have been tucked away into their boxes for another year. It's after the first of the year and I'm driving home after visiting the grocery store and I still see people's home lit for Christmas. The blown up Santa down the street is still waving his hand at me as if he's coming too see us soon. When is it too long to have up Christmas decorations and should a bulletin be sent out in the mail to inform everyone that "It's Time"?

My husband and I recently moved across the country to the east coast. I was sitting outside enjoying a cold beverage, taking a break from unpacking and watching people walk by, when a lady walked by pushing a stroller. At first I didn't notice anything unusual about this, oh a woman getting her exercise after having a baby, but then I looked a little closer and found I was looking at a woman pushing her dog in a stroller. What is this? When did dogs become unable to make a short walk around the neighborhood? Are dogs becoming lazy? Are dogs becoming the new babies? Is society so caught up in the next trend, they put dogs in strollers?

Our's are blueberry muffinss and bacon while the kids unwrap their presents. What are yours?

Season's Greetings to All!!!

Have you seen this yet? It's a blanket with sleeves, I personally think you will look like a monk in this but maybe that's what you are into. What do you think?

She has just revealed she has a crush on Chace Crawford, who doesn't, and we are supposed to care? Is this really news?

Who usually benefits from a quickie, men or women? How many have just done it to get someone off your back so you can continue doing what you were doing previously?

I was out yesterday doing some last minute Christmas shopping and wandered into the men's clothing section. I was checking out this rather hip dress shirt for my husband when I realized I didn't know his shirt size. With women it's small, medium, large or extra large or from sizes 1-42 and so on. With men it's 32-30, 34-30, 34-34, etc. It includes length's and why women's clothing does not, I'm not sure. All women are not 5'9. Most women I know are under 5'5. I'm 5'2 and everytime I try and buy new pants they are always too long. So after I pay for the pants then I must turn around and get them altered. This has been a huge reason behind my skirt and dress wearing years. If the fashion industry would included the length's in their decisions in women's clothing, maybe we would not have to walk around with our pants legs too long or our skirts too short or hanging below our knees and their true vision would become reality but until then sloppy dressing will remain, even those with money

A couple of years ago I tried out for "American Idol." I have never witnessed such a display of humiliation by an entertainment show and aggravation on my part in my life. I have been an extra in a couple of movies and I understand the hours of standing around doing nothing, but this informed me more about the entertainment industry than ever before.

After rising from my bed at an ungodly hour and racing to downtown Memphis to stand in a line waiting to be the next big thing. Lines and lines of people were in front of me. We all were excited about the prospect of getting there and this helped us all get through the hours of waiting. Once we were allowed to sit down, the producers then made everyone learn a song that would be shown in the intro of one of the shows. Then we were made to sing it multiple times in all that can be summed up as publicity for the show. After this we were allowed to sit and watch the hundreds of contestants file in lines that resembled lining up for a roller
