Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday. In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends! My question/statement is . . . Do you watch anything special on New Years Eve? My answer: When I am lucky enough to not have to work...... We always watch Dick Clark.... Will be doing that tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is us before Christmas... We had a few snow flurries and went out to see how Broxton liked it... Thanks to that.. (I think) Broxton and I got sick... and started to get better... Then got sick again. Needless to say, we were sick on Christmas, but slowly getting better. I promise to be back to posting again soon... Just trying to get over all this sickness first. Hope you and yours had a great Christmas ( or whatever holiday you celebrate!)

Christmas is over... Did you get everything you had on your list? What was on your list? Now that you got the TV you were looking for, aren't you ready to start comparing TV Stands to put it on? As always... CSN has you covered! Did you get a nice flat screen? (Marc wants one so bad... told him we would get one when we got a house!) They have a wide variety of flat screen TV stands to please everyone in the house! They also have the corner TV stands... My grandmother had one custom built ages ago... I bet she would have enjoyed looking at all of them here! So when you are ready to start your search for TV stands to look great with your new TV... Please, head on over and see what all CSN has to offer!

It is cold outside most places... You know what that means? Chapped lips! Not if you have Carmex!!!! Did you know that Carmex now makes a tinted product? Yes! They now make their wonderful moisturizing lip balm in a tinted color. The tints that they offer are peach or pink. Think about it... It is cold out, add a hint of color to your lips during these chilly days and nights. I love Carmex and once again, they proved that they know what they are doing!!!! Side note... in 75 years, this is the first time that Carmex has added color to their product line! Wow! 75 years... and you can enter to win it here!!!!! Want to win some of your own? I know you do........... Mandatory : Just tell me... Do you wear any form of lip protection now?

With the holidays... People tend to let their health slip away... You know, eating more than normal... Eating more sweets than normal... If you want to eat more sweets... and not worry as much... Try HEALTHY CHOCOLATE ! I was sent a Xocai Nugget. I liked it, Marc says it tasted "healthy." :) I was surprised to like it, since it was dark chocolate... but I did! Hmmmmmmm . Maybe dark chocolate is finally growing on me? From their website: Xocai Nuggets: Xoçai ™ Nuggets are extremely high in cocoa content, combining the exotic flavors of dark chocolate with açai berry and blueberry. Each 12-gram Xoçai ™ Nugget is made with rich, dark, Belgian Chocolate and has an ORAC Value (or antioxidant content) of 3,120. The USDA recommends at least 3,000-5,000 per day. Ingredients: Dark Chocolate [Unsweetened Chocolate, Raw Cane Juice Crystals, Cocoa, Lecithin (emulsifier)] Açaí Powder, Blueberry Powder. Head on over to their site to see what all good for you chocolate they have! Oh a...

The other day, I was finishing up wrapping a couple of the last presents... Then I heard the sound of tape being pulled... I came around the corner to see that Broxton did not think I had taped the present well enough. He had to add more! Of course, it was cute... So, I had to snap a few pictures! ( Please over look the mis -matched pajama's. This was when we were all sick and I just did not feel like changing WHOLE outfits every time... Just what needed to be changed!)
