I reported a couple of weeks ago that Angelina Jolie might be expecting again and the reports are coming down. It seems that I was right… or a lot of people are thinking like me.
“Angelina Jolie is reportedly pregnant with her second child with Brad Pitt.
The ‘Tomb Raider’ star – who is currently in India with Brad and their children filming ‘A Mighty Heart’ – is said to have been trying to conceal a baby bump and her feelings of morning sickness on set.”
All I can say is that I don’t know how she can juggle a home life with …read more

An inmate who used laxatives to shed 31 pounds so he could squeeze through a hole in a prison wall had been frustrated by the indefinite sentence he was serving, a judge said Friday.
Robert Cole, 37, spent three days on the run from police in January after slipping his 123-pound frame through a 15-centimetre wide hole he had chiseled with a butter knife in the widow frame of a hospital wing at Sydney’s Long Bay Jail.
Do you have any idea how small a 15 cm wide hole is?? That man really does need treatment and you have to wonder …read more

“The former Spice Girl has been offered the chance to host a US TV show, but since being dropped from the England team David’s obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has got worse and his wife fears he is too vulnerable to be left alone.
A source told Britain’s Closer magazine: “This is a hard one for Victoria. Career breaks like this don’t come along often, but David and her boys mean the world to her. The fashion world respects Victoria so this show could be huge.”
Someone tell me why this is so hard? Because you are a celebrity, family no longer comes first? …read more

Just in case you have been waiting… today is Johnny Appleseed Day! That means you had better serve something for dinner that has apples in it. In our house it is usually Apple Crisp and ice cream, but I do remember one year when we found this recipe where you added maple syrup to the filling and it sounded awesome. But for some reason ever time we attempted the recipe, we ended up.. throwing up. It tasted fine, but it simply did weird things to our insides?? Was it a fluke?? I don’t know, but after two episodes, we decided …read more

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another’s desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.

And I wouldn’t trade even one of the “little band of characters” that make up my family.

I don’t go to school anymore. I don’t work outside of the home, but I still hate Mondays. Doesn’t make a lot of sense does it? So, to get me out of my mood this morning, I thought that I would write down just five things to make me feel at least a little bit better.
1. The trees behind our house are turning the more gorgeous colors. (Not making a huge difference at the moment as I think those trees and other stuff in the fields are doing some horrible things to my sinuses…
2. The grass is thick and …read more

Have to get a handle on this hostility and my service guys. I simply can’t let them tick me off anymore. I just read of a study at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program in Oakland, California which came to the conclusion that people who tested high on the hostility scale were twice as likely to develop heart disease. That’s why I’m offering this video. We all need to laugh more!!

I have seen it before but it still has a way of bringing a smile to my face!
Ah… now I feel better!

I just love this little book. You are presented with 100 little tricks to make your hands and feet… absolutely gorgeous. Number 49 is about moisturizing your hands and all it takes is a little warmed olive oil and a pair of cotton gloves pulled on before you go to bed. In the morning, your hands will be softer than you can probably remember!
Must remember to do this tonight. All the best tips are useless if you don’t put them into action!

I’ll pass thank you. Can’t stand the fact that they put dried fruit into it and then there is not enough salted nuts. Yeah I know that salt isn’t good for you, but it just tastes so darn good. Now my idea of Trail Mix would be as follows…
-lots of salted nuts
-beer nuts
-regular peanuts (great big fat ones)
-Thompson raisins. I guess it do like some dried fruit after all. I forgot about raisins!
And then top it up with tons of Crunch n’ Munch… that stuff is to die for!
Now if I didn’t have to worry about high blood …read more

“If you are faced with the possibility of needing surgery in the future, chances are you will need some type of anesthesia to go along with it. There are many different types of anesthesia. Which one you will need depends on a variety of factors such as the type of surgery you are having and your state of health. Some surgical procedures require only an injection of local anesthesia into the incision area. Other procedures cannot be performed unless you are completely anesthetized — unconscious and unaware of pain. Your anesthesiologist will tell you which type of anesthesia you need.”
