I sooo forgot about this.

1. What did you eat yesterday? (Christmas for some of you.)
On Christmas Day I believe I had some Twizzlers because I went to see that Sherlock Holmes movie and Twizzlers is my deal. Then probably some cereal, sandwich maybe. I didn’t go anywhere except to the movies.
2. Do you have any food traditions for Christmas?
None what so ever.
3. What’s your favorite holiday leftover?
Mashed taters.
4. What food do you always wish you had more of after the holidays?
PUMPKIN PIE!!! You didn’t say which holiday lol

So we had a break in clinic the other day which prompted more talk about this crazy weather. My coworker lives in the house she grew up in which was built in the late 1800s or very early 1900s so obviously it is very drafty. She was wanting something to put under the doors to keep the air from coming in and mentioned that commercial with those weather stripping things. I couldn’t remember the name from the commercial so I just started searching for weather stripping and then finally decided to hit the ACE Hardware site, well, because I figure they have everything. They seem to since every time I go in they have what I need. Sure enough though they happened to have these things which are called twin draft somethings for $9.99.

Well, I decided if they had those I wanted to look up the Snuggies, one for me and 2 for my dogs because I know they make them for dogs now too. I watch TV too you know. And what do you know, they have those as well. I then read a review this morning about how this group tests out those As Seen on TV items and stated that the Snuggies weren’t worth it because they were even more enormous than stated and when you wash them there becomes bald spots on the Snuggies due to cheap whatever it is and that the dryer lint trap overfloweth with fuzz from them which prompts the bald spots. They don’t last apparently. I’m almost heart broken.

Well, what else might they have that I need? Mole poison. Of course they do not have that but they did have an experiment that I might try for killing them. Carbon monoxide poisoning. Yep, you heard me right. They have this tube that you connect to your vehicles exhaust pipe and put the other end in a mole tunnel and let her rip. Those moles will be dead within 10 minutes so it says. I passed this tidbit of information on to a friend who said that is very creative but he was going to go all Caddy Shack on his mole to which I told him that would be interesting to see too but I didn’t have a shot gun nor C4 lol

This is a sponsored guest post written by Jason Harvey on behalf of Achieve Anything In Just One Year. Post powered by Sponzai.

On January 1, more than 100 million Americans will make a New Year’s resolution, according to a University of Washington survey. By March, however, most resolution-makers will already have broken their newly minted promises. 

In his new book, Achieve Anything in Just One Year: Be Inspired Daily to Live Your Dreams and Accomplish Your Goals (Amazing Life Press, $29.95, http://www.amazinglifepress.com/), Jason Harvey provides a blueprint for personal success that can make 2010 the year that resolutions become reality. 

Most resolutions fail because people try to change too fast and accomplish too much all at once,” said Harvey, a Certified Life Coach. “My book is about learning how to make small daily changes and be your own personal life coach.”

The most common resolutions – to quit smoking, lose weight, exercise more, spend more quality time with family, etc. – are also the easiest to break. “The truth is, we set ourselves up to fail by making resolutions that are sweeping and unrealistic,” explained Harvey. 

The resulting cycle of making and breaking promises is self-defeating – so how can individuals make resolutions stick? Achieve Anything in Just One Year equips readers with the tools to: 

• Be truly committed.Don’t just go through the motions – act like you’re making a promise to your company, or to your best friend. 
• Be specific. A resolution like “I want to lose weight” is easier to ignore than “I want to lose five pounds by March.” 
• Set a deadline. A timeframe equals commitment and helps quantify success. 
• Avoid overwhelming yourself. You may want to lose weight, quit smoking, achieve moderation with martinis and cut up your credit cards all at once, but let’s get real. Focus on a limited set of goals and plan on taking stock mid-year. 
• Change one thing at a time. Recognize that change is hard. Wait to achieve one goal before starting on the next. 
• Be realistic. Taking charge of a fitness regimen is a realistic goal, while exercising seven days a week may not be. Don’t set yourself up for disappointment with lofty goals. 

The idea is to take daily action that creates a ripple effect in your life,” said Harvey. “By transforming your life with small steps, you can stay motivated, focused and balanced. Best of all, you’ll feel happier about pursuing your personal success.”

I love it when we have sponsored lecturers. Not only are we getting an informative lecture but we get free dinner to boot. Now that’s nice especially when we go to some of the more prominent establishments downtown and essentially is free bar. Last time I got gypped on dessert because the person I picked up wanted to leave early. I want my dang cheesecake you know. Sure I know I don’t NEED it but dang it I WANT it and you know it’s the good stuff. This time we are going to High Cotton. I know y’all are jealous

Now this little event will be in a couple weeks and I can only hope that the weather is NOT going to be as cold as it has been this week. This is insane. And I saw on a news story yesterday about North Dakota at -50 with wind chill. Who WANTS to live in that kind of cold? Are you people insane? Do you hibernate during the winter? Do you have enough wood to burn because I can’t imagine the A/C-Heat units keeping the place warm. It would be running 24/7 I would imagine. The weather peoples keep saying that bad word of snow here and the schools are already going to start 2 hours late just in case. What wimps.
