I Love it When Things Work Right!

Most days in my home business are not perfect. The computer is slow, there are distractions that pull me away from work, the ideas won’t come, or I get frustrated and annoyed at someone—those are the typical days. When the timing is right, however, and the computer is speedy; when there seem to be no troubles or people to get in my way, then I really get excited about work. I love those days when everything seems to go right! These days are so few and far between as to be extraordinarily special. I am quite happy, as a matter … Continue reading

Celebrity Updates: Fabio vs. George Fallout and “Hannah Montana” Sky High Ticket Prices

George Clooney is a “low-class scumbag.” At least according to the famous longhaired literary lover Fabio. As you’ll recall from my previous blog, the actor (best known for his role in those butter substitute commercials) and movie star George Clooney recently got into a scuffle at a Beverly Hills restaurant after the former “Facts of Life” star allegedly insulted some of Fabio’s female companions. The romance novel icon stunned diners at the upscale eatery when he exchanged fighting words with Clooney before both men started to get unflatteringly physical with each other. Now Fabio is going on the record, defending … Continue reading

Celebrity Updates: And The Winner Is…

A lucky kid who has a very wealthy father. That’s who won the chance to play an extra in Will Ferrell’s new movie. Confused? In a previous blog I told you about Ferrell’s idea to auction off a role in his new flick in order to raise money for the Cancer for College foundation run by his former fraternity brother at the University of Southern California. The opening bid was $5,000 and Ferrell made the comment that getting $10,000 would be a wonderful achievement. Well, consider Ferrell officially blown away. The winning bid came in at $47,100 from a Dallas … Continue reading

In fact, one lovely couple that happens to be very good friends of mine are celebrating seventeen years of marriage … Continue reading

The Marriage Blog Week in Review for Jan 20-26

Good morning, if you noticed a curious lack of the marriage blog week in review, I have to plead guilty. I wrote most of it, but yesterday, my daughter had a birthday party and we went out together to attend. It was a roller skating party and for those of you who follow my fitness blog posts, you know that my daughter and I have been roller-skating a great deal frequently, well we enjoyed ourselves roller-skating, but I was whipped after an hour and half on the skates and my legs felt like spaghetti. I’ll talk more about that in … Continue reading
