I have an addiction and thy name is Facebook  I joined about a year ago after nagging from some friends that I just HAD to.  So, after finally caving into peer pressure I reluctantly signed up.

 

It's almost scary the speed at which old acquaintances, exes and people who never spoke to you in high school start friend requesting.  ("You haven't changed!"  Really?  I thought my dork factor had depleated since we graduated.)  I was in danger of my computer crashing from too much activity.  My ego might have grown that day from the popularity head spinning that was going on.

 

After getting the basics, my first post was made.  Positive comment and like button presses soon followed.  You like me!  You really really like me!

 

People wanted me to join their mafia, help slay vampires, become their Farmville neighbor.  That's when you get sucked into the abyss.  Pretty ...

My garage door opener has failed.  The door started to go up, but then decided to play a cruel trick on me and stop about a foot into the process. Of course I immediately started pressing the button over and over because I was sure THAT would fix it. 

 

When that didn't work, I got the bright idea that I was going to fix it.  Sure, I've never looked at the workings of a garage door opener before, but hey I'm Gail Lewis!  So I decided to crawl on top of my car to look at it, that was my second bright idea.

 

It wasn't long before I lost my footing.  I was on the trunk of the car, sliding off the back towards a closed garage door that was so close to the car I didn't have much room to fall.  With the grace and agility of ...

It's that time of year when we all make resolutions to do better.  So if you're thinking about nutrition and exercise, here are a few of my favorite resources.  Some of them have been mentioned before, but we could all use a refresher.

 

 

Mariel Hemingway- Healthy Living From the Inside Out  - This is my new favorite one and it's bargain priced on Amazon at the moment for cheaper than what I paid a week ago.  (Don't you hate that?)

 

Marilu Henner - 30 day Total Health Makeover - She's always energetic, this is still my go to when I fall off the wagon.

 

Alica Silverstone - The Kind Diet. - Just got this one a few weeks ago and have already learned a lot. 

 

Food Combining - When I follow this rule.  I digest and sleep better. That's the benefit of not putting alot of junk ...

On this date in 1843 A Christmas Carol was first published. 

 

What's your favorite holiday classic?  Every year I try to catch the dance scene in Charlie Brown Christmas .  It always makes me smile.   If the movie Holiday Inn is on, I must stop whatever I'm doing and watch it.  It's fun, has great music and dancing and of course you can't go wrong with Fred Astaire. 

 

When I was a kid, I looked forward to the shorts of Hardrock, Coco and Joe, Suzy Snowflake and Frosty the Snowman that would be shown every year on the Ray Raynor and Bozo shows. Seeing those reminded me that it wouldn't be long until Santa came to visit.   I now have copies of those on my Ipod and can enjoy them all year long.

 

Is there a holiday special that you must watch every year?

For those wanting to looking into kinder ways to eat and treat the enviornment, Alicia Silverstone has a new book out called The Kind Diet.

It not only is a great recipe book, it is also very informative about the chemicals and treat\ment of animals in our food supply.  She also has a website to check out www.thekindlife.com

 

Marilu Henner's  Total Health Makeover and The 30 Day Total Health Makeover are also good sources.

 

I encourage you to read and consider the material.  Even a small change is a big step to better health and environment.
