Is it the end of the month already? Well let’s wrap it up shall we?
Couple of months ago I invited some of youse (that’s how we say y’all in Brooklyn) to join me in taking that excess weight off.  I am happy to report that I did manage to take off about 10lbs and am now working on the other 50 or so-:) I was reading a post over at Building Bigger Barns about the Hackers Diet and I got so excited I read the whole …

Is it the end of the month already? Does time move faster once you hit age 30? Anything is possible:)

First off, I’m psyched that Re over at Bad Gals Radio reviewed my site and liked it so much she did an interview too, gotta love that.

I’ve heard that having contests is a great way to promote your blog, haven’t gotten around to doing my own but thought I would participate in one. Bloganol is having another contest where you can win prizes for completing seven simple steps.

Inaugural Address
Tuesday, January 20, 2009
Washington, D.C.
**EMBARGOED UNTIL DELIVERY**
My fellow citizens:
I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.
Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering …

Hell Freezes Over By Denise Lee Porter 1/15/2009

It’s OK to start a fight based on a lie
And send our children off to war to die
It’s OK to kill abortion doctors to protect the unborn
Is it only me that sees that as an oxymoron?
History will remember the Bush years and how he spent them
While the banks clamor for more of the money we lent them
Our jobs disappear and we find it hard to cope
What to do but cling to Barack’s message of hope?
A Black President will happen on a cold day …

So for me Entrecard is like a whirlwind tour around the world - it takes you places that you probably wouldn’t have gone otherwise and gives you a different perspective from the ones on MSNBC or Fox News.

Since we voted a Black man (or African-American male) into the office of President of The United states, I have been hearing some rumors that this means racism is officially dead. I am therefore writing this article for posterity and to answer the question that future generations will inevitably pose “Daddy, what’s racism?”

Dear Mr President-Elect Obama,

I’ve been reading about all this “bailout” money that has been or will be given to some of the companies that find themselves in trouble because of … wait, why are they in trouble? Was there a fork in the road and everyone decided to go left and not right? Oh crap, which way did Bill Gates and Steve Jobs go? Will they need a bailout too? Is that going to impact my bailout amount?

For the “5,10,15,20…25, 30 years of love” that I have had and will have with, my best friend of 18 and husband of 10 years, the one and only Woodchuck.
That my two oldest boys are well adjusted and as successful as they want to be even though I had them young and was still growing up when I should have been parenting. God really does take care of the babies.
That my baby (who is 15) did not turn out to be a brat, even though I have spoiled him since …

My husband and I had an argument the other day because someone on one of the forums he frequents said that we are not in a recession, we just think we are. I agreed with Mr Anonymous, hence the argument. So to clarify for my husband and anyone else who cares to listen in, here are my thoughts on the subject.

This one sentence describes exactly what is happening to this economy right now. The television tells …
