Hi everyone!
I just wanted to give a heads up to those of you who get my posts sent to you via email. As of tomorrow morning I will be directing the traffic for this URL to a new website. I’m not sure how this will effect all of you, so I just wanted to give you a heads up that you might need to subscribe again to receive emails. Sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused!
Elizabeth at Coupons Make Cents was kind enough to let me write a guest post for her blog! You can read my guest post entitled If you are what you eat, my daughter would be a chicken nugget here. Also, while you’re there show her some love by checking out the rest of her blog; she has all kinds of information on how to save money! 🙂
Okay everyone, I’ve been looking at the free themes that are out there and the every one that I like seems to be a total pain in the butt to alter. I’ve tried 7 different themes and I can’t get any of them to do what I want. So do any of you know any good theme designers who are cheap? Please help!
Mmmmmm…new Wilco. It’s a shame you don’t really hear them on the radio, cuz they are so darn good. If you’ve never heard of them take a listen to their latest song, I Might. You can thank me later for introducing you to their awesomeness. 😉
As a bonus, I’m adding in a song I heard on the radio the other day that is from a few years ago. It was orgionally sung by Michael Buble, and while I’m not a fan of his, I thought his version wasn’t bad. However, I loved the version by Blake Shelton featuring Miranda Lambert 100 times better. It’s just more my style. Oh and in case you’re wondering what song I’m talking about, it’s called Home. I don’t know what it is about this song but it ALWAYS gets to me.
So insignificant at best is about to get a major overhaul, but I don’t want to do it without taking all of my wonderful reader’s opinions into consideration. I’d really love to know how I can make your experience with my blog better. For example, is there something I can do to make navigation easier? Also, how about font color? I tend to be drawn to darker background themes with splashes of color…but this often means white font against a dark background. Does it hurt your eyes when you read my blog? Would it be easier if I went with a darker font? Please feel free to critique anything and everything, but I ask that you keep it constructive! No attacking! I do have feelings, you know! 😉 LOL In turn, for your opinion, I will try to use as many suggestions as possible. I want to make sure all of you enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy writing it! So please, have at it in the comments below! 😀
Edited to add: First of all thanks to those of you who have already taken the time to leave your opinon. I just have one more question I’d like to add. Do you prefer 2 or 3 column blog formats?
This post was written as a part of the Ultimate Blog Challenge.
I think this question or one similar is something people often ask themselves or others. There are always things in our life or even the world, that is essentially completely out of our hands to change, so the idea of wishing then comes into play. I could do the selfless thing and wish for world peace, but I guess I’m just not that selfless. LOL Sorry if that disappoints anyone. 🙂
Okay enough babbling. Below are the 3 wishes I’d make:
1. I would love to go back and live my life knowing what I know now. If I had this ability I wouldn’t have let myself be influenced by others in elementary school and I definitely wouldn’t let the things they said to me affect me today (I’m working on it, but sadly it’s something I still struggle with). I also never would’ve dated this guy Matt (aka “the criminal”). The only time I ever dated solely on looks and I definitely paid for it. Another thing I would’ve done is go away to college. I would’ve liked to experience life on my own for a bit before getting married. Unfortunately, I choose to stay home and go to school, though. I was only a year into my relationship with my hubby, at the time, and didn’t want to leave him. I realize now that if we were meant to be we would’ve stayed together whether I went away to school or not. I’m sure there are also other things I would change, but those are the major things.
2. I want my daughter to have a long and happy life. I’d like her to be able to live to her fullest potential and have a lot of the struggles I’ve had to go through over the years. I can’t imagine most people wouldn’t wish this or something similar for their kid(s).
3. I would like to be financially stable. I don’t need to be rich…I just want to have enough money that I don’t ever need to have to stress out about money again. Bills get paid without worry, we can take the occasional vacation, etc. Money is the source of so much stress that it’d be nice to have that stress of my shoulders.
So what about you guys? What would your 3 wishes be? I’d love to hear them!!!

Well the kid was at it again tonight. LOL
The kid: “Lisa!” *pauses and then when I don’t respond* “Lisa!”
Me: *jokingly* “Lisa? Who’s Lisa?”
The kid: “You!” *laughs*
Me: “Me? My name isn’t Lisa, it’s Mom.”
The kid: *completely serious* “Your middle name is Lisa…your first name is Mom.”
Where does she come up with this stuff? LOL Silly girl.

I know, I know, I missed last week! With the holiday things got a little insane, so I apologize to anyone who might have been looking forward to my comments. Okay so that was none of you? Good…moving on. 😉 LOL
Since I have such a hard time fitting 2 hours of TV in on Wednesdays I didn’t get a chance to finish watching the show until yesterday and then immediately watched the results. So for that reason my thoughts on the dancing and the results are combined.
The guys group dance: This was so unbelievably unique and cool. It was one of my favorite dances of the evening. The way they some of them used their clothes as part of the dance, was just extremely cool. I think it was Chris who had the maroon hooded sweatshirt on? The way he manipulated the hood was almost creepy. LOL Loved it, loved it, loved it. Can’t say that enough.
Melanie and Marko: Once again these two brought it. Loved the music, the costumes and the choreography. It was no shocked they weren’t in the bottom 3.
Sasha and Alexander: This routine bored the heck out of me. I don’t know if it was them or the choreography or both, but yuck. It was a crime they weren’t in the bottom 3…they definitely deserved to be there.
Jordand and Tadd: I just love the Smooth Waltz, like the Vinnese, it is so romantic and flowing. The costumes and the visuals always take my breath away and this time was no different. I guess I see why they were in the bottom 3 when you compare them to the others, but it’s times like this where it breaks my heart to see them there.
Clarice and Jess: I loved this. It was nice to see Jess do something that didn’t call on his Broadway background. I also think their chemistry, as a couple, has gotten better. I found the emotion to be very believable. I was glad to see them not end up in the bottom 3.
Ashley and Rich: This was just awful. I felt no smoldering from either one of them and definitely no chemistry between them. It was like watching two cold fish dance. They definitely deserved to end up in the bottom 3. As a side note…when you were watching them did some of the moves remind you of parts from Dirty Dancing? I kept getting flashes of that movie as I watched them. LOL
Ryan and Ricky: This was so creepily fantastic that I can’t even stand it! The dance was incredibly unique and they were totally believable. So much so that they were freaky looking as they danced. I don’t have a clue why they ended up in the bottom 3. Ricky gets on my nerves a bit, but I love Ryan and frankly it’s not about personality. If you looking at their dancing skills they were way better than a lot of the other couples, especially Sasha and Alexander.
Caitlynn and Mitchell: What is it with dances this year bringing me to tears? LOL The emotion in this dance was just so beautiful, as were the moves. The part where Caitlynn was doing the sideways splits and then jumps up and basically folds herself around Mitchell with her back to him, was unbelievable. Another favorite dance of mine for the night. Glad they didn’t end up in the bottom 3.
The girls group dance: Why is it each week the women are killing men in their dances? LOL This dance was decent, but after the guys group dance there was no way this could hold a candle to it.
Results:
I think without a doubt Ashely was the right choice to go home. Between her performances over the past few weeks and her solos, I just haven’t been all that impressed. With the guys, however, I was a bit torn. I ultimately think Chris was probably the right choice, but if you solely look at Tadd’s solo last night it definitely should’ve been him. It was insanely underwhelming. All in all though, I think the right choices were made.
Like usual below are a few of my favorite dances from the night. Enjoy!
So last week I talked to you about New Chapter Holy Basil, which can be found at BestPriceNutrition.com. Well today I’d like to talk to you about New Chapter product you can find at BestPriceNutrition.com; it’s called Turmeric Force. I was lucky enough to be picked to review this product and let me just say I was not disappointed!
I’ve had issues with my ankle for years. Some days are worse than others, but no matter what I am in pain on a daily basis, which is why I jumped at the chance to review New Chapter Turmeric Force. In order to try the supplement I was given 10 soft gel pills that were to be taken once a day. It took a few days, but I did notice an improvement in how I was feeling, especially when waking up in the morning. Along with ankle problems, I also have back issues and I noticed that both of these weren’t as painful. Plus, without going into detail, I could tell the detoxifying herbs were working. In general I just felt “better”.
As I stated before the Turmeric Force pill is a soft gel. I love soft gels because they are so much easier for me to swallow. I’m always having problems with pills getting stuck in my throat and that never happened with the Turmeric Force!
Another plus about Turmeric Force was that once I swallowed the soft gel I never tasted it again. I’ve taken pills or supplements before that I will continue to taste for the entire day and it makes me sick to my stomach. Thankfully that did not happen with this supplement.
My overall opinion on the Turmeric Force is that it is definitely worth trying if you want to detoxify and/or help inflammation. I can honestly say that I miss taking the supplement and am going to be buying more very soon! If you’d like to give it a try, make sure to stay tuned because there should be a giveaway from BestPriceNutrition.com coming very soon! 🙂
