BB12 Saboteur

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Big Brother 12

Hey Ya’ll, here is my take on the show Im so addicted to.

…..I do not intend to be a blogging queen for Big Brother 12, however I may post from time to time my crazy thoughts about the show….

So….my first thoughts about Sundays nights show…and this Saboteur Game they are now playing.

…First I hear Lebron James announce on ESPN that he is the Saboteur for BB12..

…………………I actually never even heard of that word until Julie announced it on the opening

night…

………………I wondered…if the house guest really knew what that word meant?!

So…

……Uh….Kathy, confuses me…if she is really in the police force, why did it look like she

suffered the most phycially in the caramel…she made it obvious that she wasnt even trying…

…That sure don’t look like someone who has any physical training to me…

….Then she played the blame game on Britney…who yes was weak in the game but atleast

attempted to move through the thick caramel.

…It appeared that Kathy was trying to place the fault on Britney….

…and then Britney doesn’t face up to Kathy….. but yet  doesn’t hesitate to run behind her

back ….and suggest that Kathy be put up for eviction..sneaky lil ninja (Britney)

I find it very odd that they both have the same southern twang and they both wear Arkansas Razorback clothing…I wouldn’t be surprised if they had some sort of connection.???

Ok, one other character that catches my attention, because he acts so goofy…and he made

himself look like he is the Saboteur…during the lights out thing…..

….Is Andrew…why in the hec is he even on the show…A Podiatrist interest in Big Brother seems odd to me…

……So at this point Kathy has openly admitted that she is not in this game to win the money but to prove that she can do it…

Kathy BB12

…and Andrew looks suspiciously sneaky and I just don’t think he wants to be there, since he is a physician and all, what is really his motivation…

Now one more thing..saying the word motivation..made me think of Enzo…that guy is a

Wild Cat! He’s formed alliances, made them all nick names and seems to taken this Bull by the horns…

We shall see what this week brings…

Meanwhile my addiction to Big Brother is carried in the background noise in my office with the Live Feeds 24/7 and a few bottles of wine stached for those special moments…

love & peace

Louisiana Summer BP Madness

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Some of the best memory’s I have of my childhood are of  me and my brothers  growing up, in a small trailer park in Louisiana.

We may have not had much money, but we had so much love and happiness.

We played outside all the time….riding our bikes…playing hide and seek….playing red rover, red light – green light….and in the summer we wanted to play with the water hose.!!!!

There is something special that happens when children get to play in water outside….even as adults, there is something magically fun that happens when we get to relax in water outside..

I remember one year when it was so hot outside and me and my brothers were splashing around in our little blue plastic pool…ya’ll must know what Im talking about?

…where I live now, they use those little blue pools to feed the animals in the pasture!

Anyways…as we played and were so content, my father decided to play superman and fly into our little blue pool of water! and what a splash he made!

…My parents took us everywhere with them…at least that what I remember…and so I have many memory’s of seafood boils we would attend.

….Back before I could appreciate the delicacy of oysters….there were many dinners I missed of oyster dressing, and oyster gumbos…when I think of oysters…. I think of my mama and grandma!

So…I tell you a  few personal things because…something sad has happened and the children in Louisiana will not have these memory’s this summer.

Looking back at the last 50 Something days….since the horrible BP Explosion I’d like to ask you to pause and reflect at the first victims of the accident….

…..For the Eleven men that died that day

…for their children, wives, girlfriends, mothers, fathers, sisters brothers, any all family and friends.

…..For the Shrimpers, The Fishermen, The deckhands, The Bait Stands, any and all who’s livelihood depended on these waters to bless their families.

….For the environment…. any and all creatures….. land and water

…..Those are just a few things….

…Our State Bird is the Brown Pelican, will it now be on an endangered species list…
This is a what a Brown Pelican is supposed to look like….

and this is what they look like now.

So….School is out for summer and the children are ready for some summer fun…

In a world where we want our kids to be more active and stay away from television and video games…Well…some parents wont be able to tell their children to go play outside.

Thank you everyone who jumped aboard and really showed us that you care for our children and our futures.

Last week…I attempted to organise a benefit for the families affected by the BP Crisis

….I tried to contact a list of local musicians as well as left a message at Mr. Billy Nungesser office.

Evangleine Downs RaceTrack and Casino was generous in offering us their event room! So..Im just waiting for someone to call me back…..

Im just a small town girl living in a fantasy world, praying that somehow, somewhere all my prayers and thoughts and actions might actually do someone some good.

….Final note…..Appreciate what you have in life….everything is a gift….you may not have it tomorrow…so live for today….if you feel something in your heart tugging at you….that is God, telling you….Just do it! If you think you can make a difference….Im telling you that you can!

Peace & Love

My Secret…Bikini Diet

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Do I dare??? even say that word…Diet!!!

But if I want to wear one of these! I must, I must look at my diet!!

Shhh….dont repeat it…..the word that many fear…

its the word that offends so many….

…its the word that make us suck in our bellys and sink down in their chairs and hide that bag of chips!

Now seriously…this is confession time.

Last year alone, I tried all kinds of different ways to drop weight….

…I tried the Slimfast shake drink, which I do like occasionally.

….I tried the 3 day Diet, which I still encourage many to try!

…..I bought the Flat Belly Diet book and tried that….

…..Went to the Doctors and took prescription strength weight loss suppressants

….All of those diets do work while you are faithful to them but as soon as you eat something else, the weight just comes back on….

So……

…..I was desperate to find a way to look good again!

and then a new year came…..
A new year and a new resolution!

And honestly….its been the best resolution I have ever had….

What works best is the old fashion normal way to be healthy…Simply just exercise and eat right!

So….

1st I joined a Fitness Club and committed to working out 5 days a week….

and along with that commitment, I also made a pact with my self to have confidence in how I dressed again….I was ready to look like a fashionista again and put away the cowgirl boots and blue jeans.

So…here I am 6 months later….and I feel so much better.

I feel so fabulous!

I addicted to exercising and when I cant seem to find the time, I make it happen where ever I am….Ive treated my self to a new outfit each month, to reward myself.

Besides the 5 day a week exercise routine Ive changed a few things about how I eat…smaller portions are a must…no packaged foods…I cook as fresh as possible and eat dinner as early as I can…
Of course the one thing I was told I should do but didn’t is give up my red wine!
But I think my readers already knew that one. Ha ha!

So….I found this cool website that has discount prices on brand named fashions…

I measured my body size and then picked out the bikinis I wanted and was finally able to wear one of them for the first time…confidently! Last weekend!

So if your looking to lose weight, have more energy, gain more strength, get rid of that

chunky cottage crap on your buttocks…the only way your gonna make it happen is to get up

and move!

Start out small and work your exercise time up each day…minute by minute…You will feel so much happier. Good Luck
Feel free to post comments or ask questions!
Have wonderful wine day! xxoo

ArmCandy

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Hi Everyone! Im ready to show you some cool fashion finds…

So…for all of us Fashionistas….that love jewelry!

….the newest trends in jewelry have hit me in the hardest
FASHION OBSESSION!…..since ummm TriGold Jewelry!

My history with bracelets goes way back to when I was just a few days old.

…I was given a gold bangle bracelet, to put upon my tiny wrist.

…And well….That must have started my passion for bracelets.

…Since then, I don’t believe the styles have ever really gone out of fashion

because….I still have bangles, as well as charm bracelets and elegant pearl

bracelets, that I have had for years.

…Well a few months ago I came across this beautiful designer of “Cuff bracelets”

A big fashion trend in jewelry for the last few years.

It appears if it is only getting bigger and bigger in popularity.

Miss Lucy and her talent and artistry in creating ARM CANDY Jewelry can be

found in her Etsy store.

Caroline Grace Jewelry is uniquely designed and no two items are alike.

…..They also offer very custom made jewelry upon your request.

For me….It was my love for The New Orleans Saints that had me

asking for a black and gold cuff.


….To my delight…when my package arrived, I felt like it was my birthday!

Preciously wrapped in a little white box, wrapped in pink and green tissue paper!

Not many pieces of jewelry affected me the way that this piece did.

…..I actually had tears in my eyes….it was so perfect! I love it and cant wait to

….request another one!

….Besides the “Cuff” jewelry Lucy also creates necklaces, bracelets, earrings

and some home decor as well…..

The unique pieces come across as antique precious pieces from Great Grandmothers jewelry drawer….with a modern day touch for the woman of 2010!

…If you follow her on Facebook and Twitter you are eligible for discounts and giveaways!

So…get ready to find your own unique Cuff or jewelry piece at

Im Addicted

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

Social Networking~ Are you Addicted?

Everyone seems to be doing it.

You are doing it…because yes…you have got caught up in it…

Whether you are working in an office…

….waiting tables at a busy restaurant…

or at a stop light somewhere in your city!

You are updating your status or checking on someone else’s status!

You are either doing it for fun or are doing it to make some money!

Social Networking is not just for the computer geeks and  nerds.

…Nope, it is for all of us!

We are of all ages…even my mother is now on Face Book!

So, from teenagers to Senior Citizens, we can be found updating somewhere at sometime…

On the throne, on the couch, in the car, in the elevator, in the grocery store, in church, while we run, bike, camp…oh yes, we update everywhere.!

Even celebrities, update on the red carpet, while they are in the studio, while they are eating dinner…

There is even this guy who sits with his grandfather and Tweets S##T, his grandfather says!

~~~~~~

Year’s ago My Space was the biggest trend for our teenagers and then it seemed all ages seemed to be utilizing the website for connecting with others, advertising or blogging.

Interesting fact…..Blogging…hum? Seems that shouldn’t come up in red  or in my spell check, considering how popular the word is today…

Maybe it will be a new word for 2010.

So, when I finally decided to get a MySpace, I was informed by my teenager that I was too old!…to have a Myspace and that it was embarrassing for her!

Nevertheless, I did create a profile….

The next social networking sight I found was Netlog.com.

Which I soon discovered was a “lets see how many people I can flirt with or hook up with! The content there did not appeal to me.

Then, last year sometime a friend of mine told me to find her on FaceBook.

I honestly didn’t know what she was talking about, but my curiosity got the best of me and I logged on to create a profile.

…I soon became addicted

…and then last Spring my daughter told me about Twitter.

Well, that was 800 followers ago! And  before Wine Glass Girl was created!

Interesting Fact ~A professional blogger found me on Twitter and noticed that I had a knack with words and well…..

….this is the rest of the story.

Social Networking has changed my life in so many ways.

I have been reunited with friends that I have met over the years of my life.

…And the friendships I have made with via Twitter and Facebook are some of the most special people, I have ever met.

Well…I haven’t really met them…but I can see their heart in their words and there a few extra special friends…that I have been blessed to hear the warmth and passion in their voices.

So I’ am thankful for social networking for giving me this chance to share with others.

The addiction is controllable for now but I do foresee in the future a possible stay in Rehab for TwitterHolics and FaceBook addicts’.

I apologize to my family if I am addicted. Countless hours updating and checking out profiles, uploading pictures, is this a trend, I hope not.

In the meantime…In the Entertainment world….

I hear there is a movie being made about social networking and I also found this talented artist that has given us a song about our social networking addictions! So click on Kelley James name and check out his music, Im sure he will become a huge hit with this song!

Happy New Years Everyone!

Make sure update your status before you drink too much!

Cheers!

3 Day

Monday, December 14th, 2009

The 3 Day Diet Plan

This is a diet plan I use when I want to rapidly lose weight in a short amount of time. There are many on the Internet if you Google (3 day diet)

…but instead  of you searching all over for the right one, if you trust me this works fast..its kinda boring but works really well.

In addition to following this the only calories I would say you can have are for 1 Activia a day, which is an instant belly fat reducer..if you can deal with the gas for a few days..stick to it!

And….of course

I add on another 60 calories for a glass of red wine of course, its a great detox-er and immune builder.

So here it is, good luck and let me know how well you do!

…..just as I posted this a customer brought me a plate of warm brownies!!!!!! Darn they smell good!

3 Day Diet Meal Plan

This diet is not recommended and should never be used for more than 3 days. This kind of diet is often used by those who experience “yo-yo” weight – it is not a good habit to get into.

Substitutions

Some people use the following substitutions for the 3 day diet:

  • Green beans instead of Broccoli or Cauliflower

Pucker Up!

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

infallible

It’s  such a girlie thing, we don’t even need a mirror anymore…

You see us of all ages applying…..
Lip Gloss….. Its like a girls best friend!

You can have the most naked of faces and just add a little lip gloss and Voile’

You look like your shining!

Every girl has her favorite Lip Gloss….
…but we often carry several kinds of lipsticks, balms or gloss in our purses and sometimes in our pockets…

But we all have our favorite lip gloss…

This past summer, while camping at the RV Resort in Baton Rouge. Louisiana (Cajun Palms)

Some of my friends were just hanging around the Tiki Bar…. watching our guys play beach volley ball, where I can also mention that they were winning, but they looked like they were dying….

….And my sister in law caught me putting on my lipgloss and said Oh Oh Can I borrow?

…well I didn’t seem to mind…so I let her apply some…

Moments later she asked me what kind of gloss that was….she said her lips were tingleling…

Once I revealed that it was a lip gloss with plumper, I received such a reaction…from other friend that was there…that she was glad that she didn’t use any…
God forbid….because she has pleasantly plump lips as it is…

….but for those of us who would like a little bit of a fuller lip we choose a lip gloss with a plumper in it…

So my favorite for the past few months has been Loreal’s ((infallible))

It has a great gloss with color and it last for hours!

It come in many shades of gloss ~
Plumped Pink ~ Plumped Rose ~ Plumped Red ~ Plumped Coral ~ Plumped Mauve ~ Plumped Plum ~ Plumped Tawny and Plumped Brown

Eggs Anyone?

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Eggs anyone!

So, today I woke up with the sun peaking through the wooden blinds laying in my husbands arms. The sound of Cajun music waking us slowly.
…but soon I get that calling and jumped out of bed to get my first mug of Community Dark Roast Coffee…let the dogs out and then found myself crawling back in bed for a minute until the house warmed up…
Closed my eyes with a big smile, just knowing that today was going to another ME day!
Looking forward to a visit to my favorite massage therapist, for that nagging sore knot I’ve been suffering with since falling in love with bike riding.
So, my morning is off to a beautiful start.

My massage was great…from head to toe…my body is at peace. Touch is so essential for any human being but for those who need that extra special touch, massage therapy is so beneficial in so many ways.

For me, I can now bend my leg the way I’ am supposed to! And I feel great!
After my massage, I stopped at a local grocery store that has the freshest produce.
Tonight our wonderful neighbors, who are like family to us are cooking and I’m bring the salad.
So, I wanted the freshest produce to make a yummy and splendid salad.
As I returned to my desk I decided to check in on Face Book.
As I reviewed the many different status updates, I came across one of my friends from high schools status. It revealed to me that she has just lost a dear friend and having a difficult time.
Well, the miracle worker I try to be at times came out in me.
And I started sending her messages of support and relief. I also began finding videos from YouTube to post, to lift her up.
As I was doing this I became so enthralled in the moment that I lost track of time.
Next thing I know the mechanic who was in our backyard yelled out to me from across the yard…“You cooking something?”

Well. …The light bulb went off in my ditzy little brain and I took off like a bolt of lighting!

To save some time this evening, when I came home from the grocery store, I put some eggs boiling for the salad.

I had every intention of going back in to get them in 20 minutes but of course, I got distracted! While helping my friend and tending to the shop business.
You cant imagine what I walked in my house to find!
Egg Explosion! Eggs everywhere!
From the kitchen sink all the way to the front door of my house! I even had eggs on the ceiling!
I must be the only person in the world that can burn eggs. Now I must be the only one that can make them explode!
As I was cleaning up, I had put in today to clean and she did everything she could to get rid of the seafood smell, but it just wouldnt go away.
Well….the seafood smell is gone…without a doubt…
Guess what it smells like now?

Life doesn’t go according to how we plan it. We just have to go with the flow and look forward to a glass of wine at 5! and Look forward to tomorrow.

Diary Days

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

 Diary Days

Have you ever had a situation where you know you were very emotional because of something that was said to you…
and it possibly made you so miserable, you cried and most likely threw a big fit?!
And then days or maybe just a few weeks later, the event is brought up again likely due to your emotional reaction that you had at that time and you don’t even remember what words were said to you in the first place, that caused all the pain?!
Many people suffer this way, just like you do.
Remembering certain things in your past…
…seems just so ridiculous hard to do!
             Personally, I am in the stats of those who have difficulty remembering things, so don’t feel alone, at all.
I have come to have an understanding that we must block out events in our past for some reason or another.
…………………Experts suggest that some type of repressed memory causes one to block out events that are painful or uncomfortable. So those experts say that behavior therapy would assist in the healing of such repressed memory problems.
Journaling… has been a form of therapy for centuries.

Emotional issues have been hidden deep into your memory can be recaptured by this type of therapy.

Recalling the events that you have repressed…

Reading your journal notes can toggle the memory and help you to overcome the repressed thought.

….when you reread what you have journaled.
As young girls, we are given a diary, to write our most secrets thoughts in.
I wonder how many of us young girls still have our diaries>?
I sure wish I would have kept a diary of my life…A lot would make more sense to me! According to the experts!
……………..I learned a long time ago…. when I went to a bible study…that I should write down all my prayers and keep a journal.
So, later in life I can look back at my prayers and see how God has worked in my life.

And, honestly, when I do look back in my journal at hat I had written down for my prayers….I see that….

He has answered many prayers that I wrote to Him about………….Not all are answered in my time….but answered, nonetheless.
Journaling doesn’t have rules to it…Its not important how long you write or how much you make sense in proper English…
Dating your journal entries IS important!
Just think how rewarding it would be to go back and read something you were going through and measure how much that situation has changed you today.
Kind of sounds like self help to me…and a whole lot cheaper than a shrink these days too.!
………………My oldest daughter….ever since I can remember, has kept a journal…

….Actually the very first diary she received as a gift was in front of all the family…and
When she opened the diary she was so excited…All 10 yrs of her little self she says “Its a Diarrhea?”
Yes we all laughed….and well today the laugh is on us…
She is in nursing school and after all these years still has the many journals she kept her life in during her adolescent years…
…Just recently she mentioned to me that she was rereading one of her diary entries and thought she sounded really weird and crazy.!!!
I can just predict that all those diaries/journals will make her a Best Seller one day!
However you decide to journal, whether it is for remembering your emotional status during that last argument or using it to overcome a fear or tracking your prayers, there is one thing that I know…

….somewhere down the road we will not be here…how do you want to have your grandchildren remember you…I think its a good way to leave a legacy too!
Find joy in writing and I wish you happy journal !
