Common Sense Living

We get this little Spanish newspaper here. I don’t know why. There’s nobody Spanish around here that I know of, but we get it every Saturday morning.

I can’t read Spanish, but I flip through it for grins, and there’s good coupons in there..

But they had a spread on the hot Latino babes competing for Ms. Universe. Lots of pretty girls, but…

Ms. Mexico, Ms. Guatemala, Ms. Peru, Ms. Haiti, and Ms. Gran Bretana (where the heck is that?), all have tatoos. And I’m not talking a cute little butterfly. I’m talking huge body art. Ms. Peru is a lovely girl, but that tatoo that starts below her neck and goes down onto her thigh, is really ugly.

I personally feel that these huge tatoos take away from their beauty. And isn’t Ms. Universe supposed to be like the perfect upstanding young lady?

Am I being too much of a prude?

I find myself staring at the tatoos instead of them. I feel sorry for them in a way. They have to live with it long after the coolness wears off. Just my opinion.

What’s yours?

Could you use a laugh?

This is the twitter page for a guy who tweets things his dad says. It’s hysterical. A little crass at times, but funny.

School is starting real soon. That first week is going to be pretty tough while we adjust from play mode to school mode.

One thing that will make life tons easier is to start backing into the regular sleep schedule. Make bedtime 1 hour earlier, and start setting the alarm clock. If you or the kids have been getting up at 10, set the clock for 9 tomorrow, 8 the next day, and so on.

This strategy will work if you’ve been off work a while and you need to get yourself back into a more normal sleeping schedule.

And don’t forget about healthy eating to keep you all strong, healthy, smart, and full of energy

You can find all sorts of time saving recipes and nutrition info at Rebel With a Fork. It’s a life saver for me – all my data in one place. And all of our favorite recipes. It’ll save you a ton of time.

I know I do sometimes. And sometimes its justifiable. And most of the time it doesn’t change a thing.

Sometimes we need to vent and get things off our chest – and we need to let others do the same -

But sometimes, I even get sick of myself – let alone others.

So I had to laugh when I got an email for a stop complaining hypnosis program. I swear!

I started thinking about how you could use this. Like, maybe we could send the link to the biggest workplace complainer, or how could we use it on our kids?

What ideas do you have for using a stop complaining hypnosis program?

As you head off for a great weekend of celebrating our freedom, don’t forget about those pesky mosquitos. The West Nile Virus isn’t going away.

They don’t like Vitamin b-12. Weird, but true.

Even so, put on the bug spray. Just be sure to shower before you go to bed.
Don’t you hate when you have to pick the lesser of 2 evils?

Which reminds me, if you’re going to be out in the sun for a long time, take the sunscreen with you.

Have a happy and safe 4th of July holiday weekend!

Need some great grilling ideas?
