Okay, the bra looks gorgeous. Well, it should if it costs The $6.5 million dollars. But who would buy such a bra… even if it is comfortable? The only thing that I can come up with is that it is a good way for Victoria Secret to get it’s name out to the masses with Christmas just around the corner. Okay, that sounds logical, but to go… this extravagent? Couldn’t they come up with a 6 thousand dollar bra??

” A Thai snake charmer kissed 19 highly poisonous king cobras in an attempt to set a world record Saturday.
One by one, the cobras were released onto a stage set up in this Thai beach resort town, as the snake charmer, Khum Chaibuddee, kissed each beast and then moved on to the next.”
Snakes give me the creeps plain and simple. As a matter of fact, G and I were out for a walk a few nights ago and saw this baby snake trying to cross the sidewalk toward a pond in a nearby field. Yes, we live in a strange …read more

I was hoping that all of the things that could go wrong with house were behind us, but apparently not. Today (Monday) Britt opened a window in the loft and the window fell out… straight down three floors to end up on the grass below. Wouldn’t you know that it would have to be a holiday and I can’t get a hold of anyone to replace the window. I left a message with the builder and now I just have to wait and see.
So, here’s hoping that it doesn’t rain tonight. I wonder if this could be Feng Shui related?? …read more
