Summer Games

We had some beautiful weather here on the East Coast this weekend. Which gave us a reason to spend more time outdoors. (my favorite) For my Bfs birthday his sister gave him a game called Ladder Golf (or Lawn Golf). I've seen this game a lot down at numerous shore houses this summer but never got into playing. Well Friday night some friends came over the house and since the weather was so beautiful we picked teams and decided to play. Needless to say I need PRACTICE big time, the game is really fun! So I guess you know where I'll be if you don't see my posting for awhile. LOL. (Oh, a few cocktails while playing doesn't hurt either... :)) What are some of your favorite Outdoor Summer Games?

Grillin it UP!

Since its such a beautiful day...my boyfriend and I decided we are going to Grill tonight after we hit the gym. This is usually an event...we get the radio and some chairs and sit out back! Its actually one of my favorite things to do! We grill up an assortment of meat, anywhere from Chicken to burgers(chicken burgers mmmmm), London Broil, Rib Eye and Shrimp. Most of this food goes into storage containers when we are finished. (for lunch the rest of the week or to go on a salad) I'm looking for a really good "side" to go with our delicious grilled food. Can anyone offer up some suggestions? If you could provide a recipe that would be wonderful! :)

Bring it on AGAIN...

After I got done the gym, making dinner and cleaning up last night(whoosh)...I found myself exhausted. So I plopped down on the couch and started flipping through the channels. (this is rare for me..I never watch TV) I came across the movie, "BRING IT ON AGAIN!" Being a Cheerleader for 8+yrs I continued watching. I love Cheerleading...especially competition cheering. I helped choregraph routines with my girlfriend who coached a squad. Its just exciting to me.

This movie however...was unbelieveable! I could not believe the way some of the girls were treated. It was so unrealistic to me. I do recall that there was one or two *$tches in HS who were mean to certain girls (boss them around, etc) but not to this extent. (telling them which boys to date/who to hang out with, etc) It made me laugh it was so unrealistic. Has anyone ever seen this movie? If so, was it like this when you went to school? So caddy.

Friday Surprise!!

So I'm going about my daily routine at work. You know, run of the mill Friday stuff..filing, finishing outlines, sending reports etc. Needless to say, it was the week from *ell! Nothing was going my way and I was anxious for Friday to finally be here! When all of a sudden, I get an unexpected visitor, a face I see everyday but not in my work environment. It was my sweet boyfriend with a dozen of these beauties. He's is seriously the sweetest thing ever --he said just to cheer you up. Awwww... I'm so lucky! xo

So I'm curious...What are some of things you've been surprised with in your life(other than flowers) from someone you care about?

Show me the (BLOG) $$!!

I need some insight here. Being that I'm new to the "blogging world", I'm somewhat ignorant on how added benefits could be really beneficial to include on a blog! These days everyone could use a little extra income - I hope someone out there can shed some light on how I could earn some dough from my blog? I see these pay-able ads you can sign up for but I'm not really sure how that all works etc? Are there other add-ons you can put on your blog to earn some extra cash? I'd love to add something like this to my site but I don't want to go into it blind. Any help would be awesome! Thanks! :)

A Girls Best Friend

How many times have you been running out of the house with that new black or dark top on and skkkrrreeechhh you stop dead in your tracks bc you have big white marks all down the front from deodorant! Annoying right? Of course a little water and some elbow could do the trick but then your left with a big wet spot! Yuck.

While I was on my daily web search, I stumbled upon these nifty reusable sponges. I just had to share my fantastic find! The best part...no Water required! I'm definitely purchasing one of these babies. :)

20 Ways to make someone SMILE :)

LIFE IS TOO SHORT....not to! Granted I know everyone has a bad day here and there (we all do) but the fool-proof way to get through it is to SMILE and know that everything will be OK. You are strong and you have worth but most of all - we're all special in our own way!

The best thing you could give someone is a reason to Smile. I usually make a To Do list at the start of each day and one of the listed items is to SMILE & make someone else SMILE.

Here are 20 Ways to Make Someone SMILE! :)

1. Send some flowers to your partner at work.

2. Compliment a friend or work colleague on their appearance.

3. Donate something to charity.

4. Take a friend out to lunch.

5. Let someone know you miss them.

6. Make a surprise telephone call to your partner at work, just to say hi.

7. Hold a door open for someone walking behind you.

8. Hug your partner for no reason.

9. Leave a joke on a friends answer machine.

10. Send a card to a friend letting them know what a good friend they are.

11. Give up your seat on the train to someone when there aren't any left.

12. Share your umbrella on a rainy day.

13. Ask a friend if they need anything while you're out shopping.

14. When it's raining, plan an indoor picnic with a friend or significant other.

15. Leave a love letter somewhere where your partner will find it.

16. Send someone an unusual and unexpected gift : like chocolate, flowers or a creative item.

17. Tell your love one you're proud of them.

18. Tell someone you thought about them all day.

19. Cook a surprise meal for your partner one night, especially if they normally do the cooking.

20. Tell your partner you love them with all your heart.

Did you know it takes only 17 muscles to smile, but 43 to frown. Why waste all that energy frowning when you could just smile.

Just remember, smiling is the easiest and cheapest way of improving your looks.

Pssst. SMILE ...PASS IT ON! :)
