The following is a sponsored post. I took up weight training a couple of years ago. Sadly, it didn’t last, but I did really enjoy working with weights and building muscle – and especially showing my male friends just how much I could lift! I hope to find the willpower to get back to the [...]

If you’d like to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, I’ve found just the place. Mustang Island Texas, on the warm Gulf of Mexico, offers a beautiful escape that is sure to make you forget all your worries.

TV Characters I Could Fall in Love With
I don’t think I’d ever date a celebrity, assuming that I ever got the chance. I just really have no interest. I see them all over the TV and magazines, but never really get a good look at who they are – and the glimpses that I am given usually make them far from desirable. [...]
Loving Pepperjam Network
For those of you interested in monetizing your blogs, I recommend signing up for Pepperjam Network if you haven’t already. I wasn’t really making any money through Commission Junction’s affiliate programs, so I decided to give Pepperjam a try less than two weeks ago. Since that time, I’ve made $45 from their affiliate programs. Pepperjam’s [...]

I have now decided to pursue my Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) certification – the most prestigious certification in the industry. I [...]
Hotel Accommodations for Less

One Year Later…
It was on March 8th of last year when Cruella went in for surgery to remove this tumor from her abdomen. What followed was the toughest thing I’ve ever gone through. Cruella seemed to be doing well, but a few days after her surgery, she suddenly got very sick. I rushed her to the vet, [...]
Hottest Bachelor in Country Music
Garry Allan was recently chosen by Country Weekly readers as the Hottest Bachelor in Country Music. I couldn’t agree more. And I don’t think there’s a woman alive who doesn’t find him incredibly sexy. Here’s my favorite of his songs – Watching Airplanes. *sigh* His voice just makes me melt.
Finding the Right Life Insurance Policy
Life insurance is something that none of us like to think about, because it means thinking about our own mortality. We’re just not ready to call it quits. But like anything else in life, it’s always best to be prepared. Our families shouldn’t have to worry about finances while dealing with such an emotional loss. [...]
