Gay People Are An Amenity??

Gay People Are An Amenity??

... apparently in Florida, they are! What's next? Interracial family friendly? Immigrant friendly? Bearded circus woman friendly? I mean, are there hotels that aren't accepting money from gay couples? I can just see the waiver for that: "You two chicks can get this room together but only if you sign this ...

FOR SALE: Sanyo Incognito (cell phone)

We’re switching carriers! I just ordered our new cell phones from AT&T and am looking to sell my Sanyo Incognito for Boost Mobile. For those who are unfamiliar with Boost Mobile, it’s Sprint’s no-contract line. Their unlimited plan is $50 and includes all the talk, text, instant messaging (AIM, Yahoo, or MSN) and data you can possibly cram into a month. I’ve been with them …

Healthy-errrr Eating :)

If anyone has missed how much I love to cook (and — ahem — love to eat) then you’ve obviously not been around here long, or haven’t been paying attention. Recently, (after our failed Cabbage Soup Diet attempt) Lynsey (The Party Plan Coach) and I made a pact to eat healthier. As such, I’ll be trying to cook from scratch a little more than I …

Mommy Makeovers?

What would you do if you could have a free makeover?
I think all moms would agree that pregnancy and childbirth change our bodies in ways that we never thought possible! Once you’ve had five children like I have, you start to realize that it’s just never going to be the same. Your hips are different. Your stomach is different. Your breasts are different.

Facebook is Brilliant. Not.

I logged into Facebook and posted this status update, reprimanding their system for continuously bombarding me with the very same friend suggestions that they present me every day:
“Dear Facebook: Stop suggesting the same people to me to add as friends! When I “X” them off the first time, that’s pretty much a good indication I don’t know them or don’t LIKE them, …

REVIEW: Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go Wireless Internet Device

Since my mom moved back to our hometown four hours away (from South Carolina, half a day away) almost two years ago, we’ve been somewhat frequently traveling back and forth to visit.
