TOM'S

Have you heard of these?! They are called Tom shoes.  Now, you're probably thinking..."okay...so what?!  What is so great about them, anyway?!"  Well, ladies and gents...I have an answer!  They are so wonderful because everytime you buy a pair, the company "TOM" will give a pair of shoes to a child in need.  I told you it was pretty great, now didn't I?! 

What could be better than buying a pair of shoes?!  How about getting a pair of new shoes, AND helping a child...THAT'S what's better! :)

So, go buy some...seriously.  And, if you're thinking, "oooh...I wanna help a child in need, but I don't need those shoes...," well, of couse I have a solution.  I'm a size 8.5! :)

My Obsession Begins...

In case you didn't know, I am OBSESSED with Dancing with the Stars. Perhaps, obsessed is an understatement... I pretty much stop EVERYTHING I am doing to watch it.

And it is starting in just minutes!!!

Now begins a series of Monday Nights, equip with low brain activity... :)

FREERICE.COM

I heard about this website on Oprah. A father created it for his son in order to get him to study for the SAT's.

Here's how it works: You go on the website and answer questions. All of the questions consist of words you have to define, but its multiple choice...


For example:

Disobedient means:

a) endearing
b) afraid
c) glad
d) non compliant

Then you click on the answer...

For every correct answer they donate 20 grains of rice through the UN World Food Program to help end world hunger.

When was the last game you got be become smarter AND help end world hunger???

Do your good deed for today...

$3,000 Later...

So. I went to the dentist today. It is my least favorite place in the world, in case you didn't know. (I would rather do ANYTHING else in the world instead of go to the dentist, since I have had such terrible experiences) When I got there they said I need:
a new crown
an overlay
3 fillings
not 1, not 2, not 3, BUT 4 wisdom, teeth extracted
and...they are impacted
(Oh, and I do go to regular check-ups, so it isn't like I have been slacking)

JOY!!!

and, the best part is...I get to pay $3,000 for all of these things I DO NOT WANT!!!

I am so depressed right now :(

Time for a Change...

...so, I felt like it was a time for change. I have had my hair blond for a long time, and I was getting sick of it. I decided to do something different. On Monday, I went to the Hair Salon and came home with brown hair (with a little blond in it). It has taken me a few days to get used to it, but I think it is growing on me... (and, yes, I am aware they are fake smiles)
