I have been getting healthy and getting back into society. I couldn't go to bed, I had somethings on my mind.

When I heard about the shooting in Connecticut I had an instant yank on my heart. I cried for a good bit. I felt so much pain and anger for the man that did this horrific tragedy. I don't understand why people that are feeling depressed, lonely, or upset have to take the such drastic measure for there pain to be felt by others. I know so many families that have kids and I can't imagine them be here one day then taken the next. It is so selfish and dumb to strike at the heart of a community. Kids shouldn't have to have terror befall them at such a young age. Even now, I keep breaking into tears. When my daughter came home I felt so privileged to have her just walk in the front door. I think I'm a person that sees the many blessing I have. Yes I do get depressed but don't think or do bad things. Families need to realize that kids are the gooey center of our families. Sure they can be sometimes frustrating to deal with. Sure they can be annoying, but enjoy these simple thinks they do, you never know when it would be there.  Hug your kids everyday and tell them how you feel.  When they go to school pull them aside and tell them without a doubt that they are loved. Make sure when you do hug them they feel that. Don't ever feel like they know. Cause I can guarantee that they need that little extra something before going out into the world. Try and do something with them. My daughter and I will choose a day where we wear animal eared headbands. (mouse, bunny, or cat) Remember to tell yourself, "the heck with what people think" I'm bonding with my kid. Live it up and enjoy life. Your kids will think you are weird, but they will have that memory with them always. I implore you to let your kids know you love them. 

I am going to keep the families of this tragic day in my heart and prayers. Pass this message on to your friends and families. Share the message of love.

For example, lets all remember how great and funny it was to watch the Patriots lose their perfect undefeated season. I am sure whoever bet on the Giants was laughing and getting rich at the same time then! In honor of hilarious moments and making money, today has been officially deemed Laugh and Get Rich Day!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Could you possibly think of a better way to spend a day then by laughing and getting rich?&lt;br /&gt;
No, neither could I.&lt;br /&gt;

We're thrilled that Governor Carcieri has bestowed such an honor to the world's first action figure hero and we're excited to celebrate 'G.I. JOE Day' with our employees, fans and fellow Rhode Island residents."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 10px; font: normal normal normal 1em/normal verdana; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;The convention is being held at the Rhode Island Convention Center located at 1 Sabin Street in Providence, Rhode Island. General admission tickets are available at the door, $12 for adults and $8 for children ages 5-12 (free child's admission with a paid adult). And, as always, admission is&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="bwunderlinestyle"&gt;free for those 4 years old and under&lt;/span&gt;. General Admission tickets provide access to the showroom on Saturday, May 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., or on Sunday, May 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Additional details and pre-registration information can be found at gijoecon.com, or by calling (817) 448-9863.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 10px; font: normal normal normal 1em/normal verdana; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Hasbro inaugurated the G.I.

To be honest, I thought every day was chocolate cake day. This warm (and flourless) chocolate lava cake is delicious enough to declare a national celebration. But to help keep us all focused, there are several national food day lists floating around like&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.statesymbolsusa.org/National_Symbols/American_Hollidays.html" style="color: #205d87; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;this one&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to make sure all kinds of decadent delights get their day. &amp;nbsp;I’m a little curious, though, how National Pie Day, National Peanut Butter Day, and National Chocolate Cake Day all fall in the same week. I have a sneaking suspicion that the final week of January is right about the time that most folks have felt pretty good about the three weeks of intense dieting and exercise they have done after the holidays. Admit it. Your thinking has probably come close to this at some point: “I’ve been to the gym twice this week. Of course I deserve pie/peanut butter/chocolate cake!”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=" text-left" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They require relatively little effort and bake in less than 15 minutes. Even if the cakes collapse into a quivering pool of warm chocolate, I promise you that your guests&amp;nbsp;&lt;i style="font-style: oblique; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;will not complain&lt;/i&gt;. Cover them with enough ice cream and in one, two, three, swoops of their spoons the cake will be gone.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=" text-left" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;But if you do want to impress a loved one, you might want a practice run or two to figure out the best results with your oven. If you underbake it, you will end up with a puddle of chocolate (there are worse things). If you overbake, by even a minute, no molten center – and you’ll end up with more of a brownie cake (again, not a travesty).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=" text-left" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Now get celebrating.

Opposite Day is usually celebrated on the first Tuesday of the new year, or in some cases of every month. Usually, a person would say, "After this phrase is over, it will be officially opposite day," and then Opposite Day will be officially started. Opposite Day can also be declared retroactively to indicate that the opposite meaning of what was said should be inferred. Opposite day games are usually played by schoolchildren.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;In the sense that opposite day "excuses" untrue statements, it is similar to the notion that&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossed_fingers" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Crossed fingers"&gt;crossed fingers&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;automatically nullify promises.

&lt;br /&gt;
I auditioned for the role of; ticket holder. &amp;nbsp;I sooooo did a bad job. &amp;nbsp;I was asked to do the line again and I did the same character. &amp;nbsp;UGH!! &amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

Well I just watched Smallville Season 10. &amp;nbsp;I am very annoyed and yet I'm sure all of us do when we watch any version of the Superman&amp;nbsp;Franchise. &amp;nbsp;I am always&amp;nbsp;troubled when I see Clark Kent turn into Superman. &amp;nbsp;Does he buy glasses and button up shirts in bulk? &amp;nbsp;Really, I want to understand this. Wouldn't someone in the Daily Planet or people close to him notice his clothes in a pile on the roof top? Or his glasses? &amp;nbsp;My husband says it is a cheesy Sci-Fy and we should over look the little details. &amp;nbsp;But I can't really try to overlook it. &amp;nbsp;It is such a bothersome item to over look. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

I do love Superman and have a weakness for super heros with DC Comics, and Marvel. &amp;nbsp;In fact "Super heroes" is a trademark co-owned &amp;nbsp;by DC Comics and Marvel Comics. I would love to hear from others on this silly problem I have.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
My new puppy has been getting use to her new home and the black Lab we already have. &amp;nbsp;I know for sure that our Black Lab is really kicking the little Black Lab around. &amp;nbsp;But a week has gone by and I feel that they are getting better&amp;nbsp;acquainted, &amp;nbsp;Now they only kick each other around 4 times a day. &amp;nbsp;I don't have to do as much&amp;nbsp;refereeing&amp;nbsp;between them. &amp;nbsp;The new gal is cute and she has tons of moxie. &amp;nbsp;Seeing that she is starting all the fights and she is only 5 pounds. &amp;nbsp;I think she will fit in just nicely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I watched "Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends" and relaxed. &amp;nbsp;I love that show, I really LOVE "Blue". &amp;nbsp;He reminds me of youth, and crazy things you try to not get caught at. &amp;nbsp;I think being youthful at heart and mind will keep you saint and happier much longer. &amp;nbsp;Try and let you inner child out and see how you feel. &lt;br /&gt;

I'm thinking of starting a group... Book or Mormon in 100 days. &amp;nbsp;Does anyone else out there want to start this goal with me??? &amp;nbsp;I hope so, please let me know and we can get started. &amp;nbsp;Or pass the word and have them sign up with me. &amp;nbsp;Who knows it could be the start of a beautiful friendship. &amp;nbsp;I'm off to bed now. &amp;nbsp;I will be listening to my ipod touch and reliving the 80's.&lt;br /&gt;

If you are reading this blog, I should let you know, I'm a bit strange with my ideas. &amp;nbsp;I often have thoughts wandering thru my head all the time. &amp;nbsp;Does anyone ever wonder why they have the drive to live everyday? &amp;nbsp;I think some people are motivated by money, love or family. &amp;nbsp;I think I'm motivated by seeing what will happen everyday. &amp;nbsp;I always hear about celebrities doing silly things. &amp;nbsp;But we personally don't even know them. &amp;nbsp;But yet we are so involved as to what they do. &amp;nbsp;When they have a happy event such as a wedding, or a baby we are elated. &amp;nbsp;I just find them interesting.&lt;br /&gt;
I think one celebrity I would like to met is Jason Mraz. &amp;nbsp;I have been a faithful listener to his music since 1999. &amp;nbsp;In fact I though we were at one time&amp;nbsp;destine&amp;nbsp;to met and he would fall in love with me. &amp;nbsp;But now I'm older and wiser, and know he will fall in love with me. &amp;nbsp;Ha Ha Ha Ha See what I mean, I have silly thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;
Today I was in church thinking of our new puppy we got yesterday. &amp;nbsp;He is a black lab and super small. &amp;nbsp;She is just off milk and is learning to run around without falling over. &amp;nbsp;She is peeing every half hour and is being&amp;nbsp;sneaky&amp;nbsp;about it. &amp;nbsp;She will be a puppy for a long while. &amp;nbsp;We just got our other black lab to stop peeing and pooping in our house. &amp;nbsp;I think our new addition will be good. &amp;nbsp;Since our first lab has been alone and now she has a&amp;nbsp;companion. &amp;nbsp;But right now she doesn't seem to like the new addition, but she will.&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Pumpkins are a wonderful fall vegetable. Whether you buy one to make a Halloween jack-o'-lantern or to cook up, please do not throw those pumpkin seeds in the trash. Toasted pumpkin seeds make a wonderful snack or garnish, and they are so easy to make. Most people bake them, but they can also be made in the microwave or in a heavy skillet on top of the stove. The kids will love them as much as the adults...&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://glclk.about.com/?zi=7/E7rJ&amp;amp;zu=http%3A%2F%2Fhomecooking.about.com%2Flibrary%2Farchive%2Fblv14.htm%3Fnl%3D1" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;Read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #666666; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal Verdana; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;See More About:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://homecooking.about.com/lr/pumpkin_carving/30072/1/?nl=1" style="color: #1155cc; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal Verdana; padding-left: 2px;" target="_blank"&gt;pumpkin carving&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://homecooking.about.com/lr/pumpkin_recipes/30072/2/?nl=1" style="color: #1155cc; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal Verdana; padding-left: 2px;" target="_blank"&gt;pumpkin recipes&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://homecooking.about.com/lr/halloween/30072/3/?nl=1" style="color: #1155cc; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal Verdana; padding-left: 2px;" target="_blank"&gt;halloween&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

These rich bar cookies use two flavors of chocolate. Fast and easy to make due to the cake mix. Your arm will get a workout from mixing up the bottom layer, but it will be well worth it. You might also consider experimenting with other flavored chips.

Did you know that the chicken you buy at the local grocery store may be injected with salt and water? If not, you're not alone. Most people don't know. If you notice the term enhanced on the label, you probably think it's a good thing. Maybe yes, and maybe no. And it's not just poultry. Meat products are also now enhanced.

Check out my jack-o'-lantern in the photo. It took about an hour to carve out, and I learned a lot along the way. Take advantage of my trial and error education and save some time with these pumpkin carving tips. Learn how to make your jack-o'-lantern do double duty as an air freshener. Remember, carved pumpkin jack-o'-lanterns are not suitable for food purposes after being lit up and displayed for decoration, but pick up some extra pumpkins during the season to use for cooking...&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://glclk.about.com/?zi=7/E7rM&amp;amp;zu=http%3A%2F%2Fhomecooking.about.com%2Fod%2Fhowtocookvegetables%2Fa%2Fpumpkincarving.htm%3Fnl%3D1" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"&gt;Read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
