Hurry on over - don't miss out on this one.

Request from a special person

A very special person (and her very special hubby) needs our help. I am hoping that everyone that reads this will be there for them.

They aren't asking for money or possessions so no matter how strapped you have become with the economy the way it is - you can help them. It really is very easy. What they are asking for are prayers and/or good thoughts to be sent their way. See I told you it was easy.

Alicia and Josh are trying to become parents through adoption because they know that they have so much love to give. You can read all about their request here pretty-please .

I think they will be wonderful parents - just reading all the fun they have together and all they have been going through to become parents, I just think any child would be lucky to have them as parents.

Nicole's Nickels: Keurig Platinum Brewer Review & GIVEAWAY!

I would absolutely LOVE to win this prize. I have 4 adults living in my home (can't believe I have adult children) and before we all leave in the morning we MUST have at least 1 cup of coffee. Some mornings we could go through a 14 cup pot and other days I'm throwing out 3/4 of it because it didn't get drunk. This would be the perfect solution.

You need to jump on over and check this out. Try your luck - what have you got to lose? I think I've found another blog to add to my list of favorites. Just poking around I found some great give aways, samples, deals and great ideas.

Sunshine and Lemonade: Blog siesta

Kat is back! If you have followed the trials and tribulations of this family the past year - I can say I have - you will be happy to know she is back and it looks like things are finally going to settle down for them. Whatever settling down is for a family.

To celebrate her return - she has a wonderful cookbook giveaway, from a wonderful Southern Belle (she'd probably hate that term) Ms. Paula Deen!

Go check out this post (as well as some of the others she has) and enter to win this fantastic cookbook. Can ya tell I already did??

Fantabulously Frugal: Giveaway Day 26: Smashbox "Try Me Kit"

Smashbox - mmmm so many different types of makeup out there, so many to chose from. I confess, I have seen this "brand" many times, but have never tried it. I have been using Bare Minerals for about 3 years or so, even got my daughter to try it. She uses it too - although not that much (but then other than eye makeup - basically liner, she doesn't need makeup).

But I bet she might like this one. Heck I might like this one! One way to find out.

Here is a great giveaway by Fantabulously Frugal - a Smashbox Try me kit. You can try it too (if you win) free. But lets not dilly dally (need a new word here) entry to giveawy ends on May 31st.

Ladies - Food for Thought

Girls Rule....

1. Aspire to be Barbie - the bitch has everything.

2. If the shoe fits - buy them in every color.

3. Take life with a pinch of salt... A wedge of lime, and a shot of tequila.

4. In need of a support group? - Cocktail hour with the girls!

5. Go on the 30 day diet. (I'm on it and so far I've lost 15 days).

6. When life gets you down - just pull up your big girl panties and deal with it.

7. Let your greatest fear be that there is no PMS and this is just your personality.

8. I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok. They know me here.

9. Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

10. Don't get your knickers in a knot; it solves nothing and makes you walk funny.

11. When life gives you lemons in 2009 - turn it into lemonade then mix it with vodka.

12. Remember where ever there is a good looking; sweet, single or married man there is some woman tired of his bullshit!

13. Keep your chin up, only the first 40 years of parenthood are the hardest..

14. If it has Tires or Testicles it's gonna give you trouble.

15. By the time a women realizes her mother was right, she has a daughter who thinks she's wrong.

Have a great day!
