When I was younger, I LOVED New Kids On The Block! I had everything! The pillowcase. The sleeping bag. The BIG PINS you wore. The pictures. The t-shirts. I think that I even had a Jordan doll. I kept them, I knew that they would come back around. Well, I guess my parents did not think so much! LOL , they claim that the "attic leaked and it was all ruined." That could also go with the claim that our dog "ran away," they actually gave the dog away, but anyways! Fast forward to 2009............ Who, just who is making a reunion tour? New Kids On The Block! Yep! I was pregnant and did not want to spend money on a ticket... BUT, my dear friend Hilary got me a ticket to the concert! We went, screamed like we were kids again... It was WONDERFUL! I do not care that I am admitting this... I still love New Kids! I just really wonder what happened to Biscuit... No one says... Hmmmmmmmmmmmm So, did you like New Kids? It is okay to admit it if you did... What was your f...

I just finished THE LAST WORD by Kathy Herman. First of all, I have never heard of her before, but now that I have... I want to read all of The Sophie Trace Trilogy! Synopsis: Heart-pounding suspense meets heart-challenging truth as best-selling author Kathy Herman returns to Sophie Trace in her new page-turner, The Last Word (David C Cook, October 2009). Based on Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the gentile,” Herman’s second installment in the Sophie Trace series triumphantly demonstrates God’s miraculous ability to heal the broken. From a Q and A with the Author: Tell us about the Scripture verse upon which The Last Word is based. Why is this theme so important to you? The Last Word , the second book in the series, is based on Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salva...

I am not sure about you, but I know that we use TONS of paper towels in our house! Is there a spill? Get a paper towel. Is there water from me cleaning the nine million bottles? Just get a paper towel. Time to wipe down the counter, You guessed it... Get a paper towel! I have been hearing so much about Skoy Cloth and now I can add my own opinion! They are great! Not only are they just absolutely too cute to look at, they do work! From their website: USE Wet your SKOY cloth before using. Be sure to squeeze out the excess water for optimal absorption. It can be used with popular household cleaners, but works just as well with water. Note: Rinse cloth very well when combined with dish soap in order not to leave residue. We recommend that after your SKOY cloth has passed its prime, it can be used as a rag for heavier cleaning. Chlorine-use is not recommended. CARE The SKOY can be cleaned in your dishwasher and is washer and dryer safe up to 90 ° C...

Back when I used to have a job... ( As a manager of a sports bar and grill) Well, that was like a year ago... But anyways, We decided that since we all enjoyed reading so much that we would start a book club. The first book that we chose to read was, CHANGE OF HEART by Jodi Picoult . Okay, lets start by asking this... How many of you have ever read a Jodi Picoult book? At this point, I never had... But, we read it... and LOVED IT! Her book was awesome! Synopsis: Shay Bourne - New Hampshire’s first death row prisoner in 69 years – has only one last request: to donate his heart post-execution to the sister of his victim, who is looking for a transplant. Bourne says it’s the only way he can redeem himself…but with lethal injection as his form of execution, this is medically impossible. Enter Father Michael Wright, a young local priest. Called in as Shay’s spiritual advisor, he knows redemption has nothing to do with organ donation – and plans to convince Bourne . But ...

Well, this feels kind of crazy! For AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER, I have worked on New Years Eve. Actually, I have worked for pretty much all holidays/celebrations... I am 30 years old and I have had a job since I was 15! But, that is not the point! Last year, the job I had for the previous 10 years decided to shut its doors, with NYE being the LAST night of Diggers... (Diggers is the name of the place I worked at!) I was 7 months pregnant and when I got off of work (this time around 11:30 ish ) I headed home to ring in the New Year with the hubby and his sons... It was a nice change to be able to spend time with my husband... but it SUCKED that it was the LAST night I would ever walk into Diggers. You know, that was my family! I moved up there at the age of 19, got a job immediately and that "job" became a second family/home. They were there through it all... Birthdays/Death/Marriage/Pregnancy Anyways, I could ramble on forever about that... All I wanted to say was that with ...
