VillaWare Interbake - Waffles - Pizzelles - Sandwiches Maker
*******UPDATE*******
I just got an email informing me that the item I selected has been discontinued! ARGH!!!!
I think I managed to snag the last VillaWare InterBake 3 on the Internet! It has been discontinued and I am dying for some pizzelle and cannoli, but I wanted a dual purpose appliance that also made waffles. Seems simple right? NOT!

Nala Berry Supplement Good Dog Calming Water Additive
Amazon.com: Nala Berry Supplement Good Dog Calming 8 oz: Kitchen & Dining
I originally purchased this item in Sept 2010. I have 3 dogs so I ordered 3 bottles. We use a 3 gallon water dispenser so I had to do a little math to calculate how much was needed for 3 gals of water. Our dogs are small coming in at 7, 10 and 12 pounds respectively, so their water lasts 7-10 days.
T-Mobile Royal Wedding Dance Down the Aisle
Very well done spoof on the recent trend of dancing down the aisle at weddings. I doubt this will happen, pretty good look a likes! Better than the movie they keep playing commercials for.
I think this would be Harry's idea of a jolly good time, but the Queen would most likely frown.

Best Hair Brush Ever!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know it's weird. Why am I writing about a brush?
I like how boar bristles leave my hair feeling, but the bristles often do not feel like they are stiff enough to penetrate all of my hair.
I've been using the standard plastic tipped paddle brush on my dry hair and a wide tooth comb on my wet hair. My hair is very healthy, shiny and has minimal breakage. Last week I went shopping for a new brush

Little sad this Easter...Missing my nieces and nephew
Every Easter, Christmas and Birthday we deposit money into the accounts we opened for our twin nieces and our nephew when they were born. As I transfer the funds into their accounts today, it is making my mind wander to both a happy and a sad place.

April is Autism Awareness Month - for my nephew
April is Autism Awareness Month
My adorable 28 month old nephew, Logan, was officially diagnosed with Autism today.
He is fortunate to have excellent parents that even though he is their first child and they are in their early twenties, were mature and aware enough to know something just wasn't right with their son early on and availed themselves of every resource at their disposal to aid their son when by the age of 18 months he wasn't talking and didn't like to eat.
Logan started working with a Speech Therapist several months ago which helped lead to a diagnosis at this early stage. Now with the official diagnosis, he will be able to start work with an Occupational Therapist and we have every confidence he will be able to "catch up" to his peers.

The Drama Triangle - Moonlight Memories

...lyrics from the song Beautiful Pain by Rosanne Cash
"Do you want to be honest, or do you want to win?
You could have it all if you could gracefully give in
Like when a martyr knows he's a martyr
And looking in the mirror makes you cry harder
'bout your glittering ball and chain
In love, In love with your Beautiful pain
Excuses and old theories repeat themselves and die
But when they don't hold water
You try to keep them safe and dry"

- I am logging everything I eat and analyzing the nutritional content and passing the knowledge onto him,
- We are moving to a more temperate climate so we will be able to enjoy the outdoors more of the year (the heat kills me ever since I finished chemotherapy),
- Jerry takes lunches made for him with love from home,

Hip Hip Hurray! for Catherine Zeta Jones
I get quite tired of always having to 'speculate' on whether a famous person has bipolar disorder. I am on the TV, radio, etc to explain the illness and what I think of the person's behavior and if it's really bipolar. (It's always bipolar!) I am sure there would have been calls about Catherine Zeta Jones if she had simply gone into the psych ward. But she didn't! She told the truth!

Vermont Teddy Bear 'Crazy For You'
Speaking as a person who is descended from a long line of crazy people, I want this bear.
I love this bear. I think it's adorable. It seems we have gotten way to politically correct in this day in age.

Yoplait Light Boston Cream Pie Yogurt
Yogurt is a food I always wish I liked and every few years when I would forget why I didn't like it, I would try it again and INSTANTLY remember why I didn't like it.
This year my husband and I vowed to get healthy and I desperately wanted a healthy, creamy snack (like yogurt) that I could eat whenever. Yogurt was that snack. From constipation, osteoporosis, high blood pressure to yeast infections, yogurt helps it all. I am hard pressed to think of anyone that wouldn't benefit from yogurt.

About 6 weeks ago I decided I was going to like yogurt come hell or high water. I was especially interested in it's immune boosting benefits because

San Antonio Highland Games & Celtic Music Festival
Had a great time at the festival on Saturday(http://www.sahga.com/). I'm glad we went for the bands early sets instead of waiting for the late ones. By 4:00, the clouds had gone away and it was full sunshine. Sounds nice? I hate it! It was 90 degrees and after 4.5 hours, I was dripping, my face was bright red and I was exhausted.
Romeo's 1st Celtic Rock Concert |
This year had record crowds which was quite surprising since the Poteet Strawberry Festival was also this weekend and it is a MUCH bigger event. I was disappointed upon hearing that. The Strawberry Festival usually falls closer to my birthday, which is next Sunday, and Jerry & I were going to go this year since this is our last festival season in San Antonio. Oh well. We still have the Floresville Peanut Festival, Luling Watermelon Thump,

Rid Fleas the Affordable and Easy Way
Rid Fleas the Affordable and Easy Way
I have been a cat or dog owner since a very young age, so I've seen my fair share of fleas. A few months ago we introduced a months old Chihuahua pup to our home, which already had two dogs in it. Latte, the new pup, obviously brought the blood sucking baggage along because our two dogs now have them. So how does one rid fleas?
You may be tempted to rush out to your veterinarian for some prescribed repellant. Or, if you're one of the many misinformed, you scrambled to your local Walmart for an over-the-counter fix. How many of you know that you can't really rely on a retail store to help you rid fleas? I could remember years ago, like 12 or so, when those green shampoos actually did

Aarrgghhhh!!
Well it was a long day at work filled with anal, retentive, micro managing, over reacting, unnecessary stress.
So to help me relax when I came home, I redesigned my blog. Let me know what you think! Feedback and suggestions are always welcome, though maybe not appreciated (lol).
TIME FOR SOME BEJEWELED!
Then maybe I'll do some laundry. NOT!
I do have to get ready for the Celtic Music Festival tomorrow. I look forward to this all year long.

How To Lose Body Weight Fast | LIVESTRONG.COM
Livestrong has a lot of useful articles, calculators and resources. I have made some comments in red on the below article (original attached):
Overview
Overview
There are many ways to lose body weight fast. You can try diet pills, fad diets and fasting. These options, though they will enable you to lose weight quickly, can cause you a great deal of harm. It is better to choose a natural weight loss strategy as a safer alternative for quick weight loss. This process can by rewarding and quite simple.
Step 1
Cut your calorie intake. To lose 1 lb., you must create a 3,500-calorie deficit. You can easily do this by cutting down on high-fat, high-sugar foods. Cut sodas, cakes, cookies and fast food out of your diet. To help cut the calories and make sure I was eating a well balanced low calorie diet with plenty of protein, fiber and other nutrients as well as making sustainable changes in my eating habits, I signed up for http://www.myfooddiary.com/ . At $9.00 a month and excellent customer service, I have learned quite a bit in the 6 weeks I have been seriously using it and have lost 5 pounds even though I don't use it on weekends and I have had some really bad days. To read more about my experience with My Food Diary click here : http://kissytina.blogspot.com/2011/03/my-food-diary.htmlStep 2
Drink plenty of water--at least eight glasses per day--because water serves as an appetite suppressant that keeps your stomach full and fends off dehydration (which can cause false feelings of hunger). My doctors always tell me to stay properly hydrated, you must drink 1 fluid ounce for every 2 pound of body weight.Great week so far... Busy April planned
This week has been pretty good. Jerry and I are laughing more than ever. He's been so worried about me and he is adoringly protective. The only times I've ever seen Jerry angry or protective is when you mess with his women (which means me or his mom). I think this is going to be a great year for us and can't wait to see what happens.
After 3 months of fiddling with different dosages and times, the medication has finally started working without the side effects. Jerry says I'm no longer doing the Riverdance in my sleep and the hand tremors have ceased almost completely! Great! I can hold a pen AND write legibly again. Yay me!

Jerry's position with the county scored us Office 2010 Professional, Project 2010 and Visio 2010 for $30! Couldn't beat that and now I can teach myself OneNote, Project and Visio to add to my resume.
