I can't keep up. Do this, don't do that. It seems that the rules change every few months when it comes to just about anything. I say make your own rules!

Both Doug and I met our significant others online! And if that isn't proof that it works, no matter what the rules, then I'm not sure what is. But apparently, some felt the rules needed to be tweaked, so here we go. They don't look much different than the old rules though.........

I recently started working out with a trainer. His name is Nate and he nearly killed me yesterday. Well, it FELT like it anyway. He had this smirk on his face the entire time. I think he enjoyed it. Is that normal? I'm guessing it is.

Are there certain shows that you wish were on all year round? The first one that comes to mind for me is "Drop Dead Diva". Best show ever! It's on Lifetime and I think it only comes around in the summer. What a shame. It's the best story line and just a fun show to watch.When I saw the list of new shows starting soon, I was hoping that this show would be included, but looks like I'll have to wait. There are some other good ones coming up though!

Since moving back to Minnesota, after many years on the east coast, I have found the cold weather to be invigorating! Some call me crazy, but it's true. Ask me again at the end of February, and I'll probably tell you I can't wait for it to warm up. However, I have decided that since we are now in Minnesota, it's better to embrace the snow and colder weather, and make the best of all the opportunities that those who live in warmer climates don't have! Here are a few things I want to try. If not this winter, then for sure the next.

I took a long walk last night and had a chat with God and a few other folks who live "up there" in the clouds. I thought about the recent changes in my life and what I wanted most out of this new year.

Have you been thinking about packing your bags and moving to a whole new place? I highly recommend it, as I've done it myself many times. I've made new friends and discovered some pretty cool things along the way. But if money is the issue, you might want to think about a few specific places where they will actually pay you to come and live there! Some of these places might not seem terribly attractive, while others could get you thinking. Happy Trails!

I've never been a smoker, but I do remember chewing on a few candy cigarettes as a kid! Eating candy cigarettes did not encourage me to pick up the real thing later in life, but some people think that's exactly what will happen if we continue to allow kids to purchase candy cigarettes.

One of my favorite ways to spend a snowy day is with a good book and an equally good cup of hot chocolate!

Making hot chocolate the old-fashioned or even instant packet-style way works, but sometimes it's fun to step it up a notch by making it spicier, richer, or grown-up friendly. Here are some delicious ways to mix up the best mug you've ever tasted ...
