gtf, icy cool freshness...not so much
After reading this post and this one too and hearing rave reviews last year from co-workers I really wanted to try the GTF. I finally made my way to Starbucks. I waited eagerly as they prepared my icy refreshing beverage. I picked it up and put my straw in and took a big gulp. The icy coolness hit my tongue and sent a message to my brain “Bleeeccchhh!” What I thought would be a...
[your first name] needs : does lauren really need...
There is a game circulating around the internet. You go to Google and search “[Your first name] needs” Sarah did not know about this game when she posted this. A lot have been going to her blog and mine because of this game. Which has gathered some interesting comments (some of which Sarah felt were inappropriate and removed). What do you get when you search your name? Please...
a tribute to suri
Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry When I take you out in the surrey, When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top!

sunshine...it's important
Have you heard? There’s a new study out saying that the sun may actually be good for you! When you go outside in the sun your body produces vitamin D, which is important. If you don’t get enough vitamin D it can cause cancer. Your body needs 1,000 units a day. You get 200 from food and 400 from supplements. To get the amount your body needs you should go outside for 10 minutes...
day 'o gardening
Sunday here was beautiful. It made me want to garden, which happens every once in a while, usually in spring. Last year I planted Peony bulbs, which are sprouting nicely…yea!! and I also planted some Ranunculus bulbs, which aren’t doing well. They have gone missing and my best guess is that squirrels or other furry creatures got to them. Since my ranunculus weren’t going...
rod stewart = rage
I like to think of myself as having an eclectic taste in music, I love lots of different kinds of music. You name it, I could probably like it. But there are a few singers that I can’t stand… 1. Neil Young: he sounds like a castrated porpoise. I would rather listen to nails on a chalkboard. 2. Mariah Carey: In the past few years I have become more tolerant thanks to Brandy....
