Your Holiday Story....
We had all had those holidays which stand out in our memories. It may be a fabulous memory which makes us all warm and fuzzy inside, to be compared to every future memory and be measured by it. We all have those holiday memories we'd like to forget---like the year both my Mom and my Aunt felt they had to be the one cooking the turkey and my Mom's turkey imploded. (Seriously...it became a heap of bones and the meat sort of disintegrated)
As children we had ideas about sugar plums just as much as we anticipated the tooth fairy...probably more. Later in life as we married and somehow combined families, and our family traditions changed. We created new memories together. We have had that gift we thought was going to rock someone's world which turned out to be as exciting as a flat tire.
There are those of us that prayed, pleaded, and made deals with God (or whoever else was listening) to just this one time....get that one thing or to be able to give that one great thing which would change our relationship with someone.
Of course there are also those times when we all thought "What the heck was this person thinking" when we opened a gift which astounded us. An example of this was someone close to me, her mother-in-law gave her a retractable clothesline one year, a sink hair strainer the next, and it just went even further down hill after that. (I am not kidding) And yes, we try to remember holiday seasons are about giving, not receiving....but still "What the heck!"
Recommendations for Heart Rate Monitors?
I need your help! I'm in the market for a heart rate monitor. Specifically, I want one that has mileage, heart rate (obviously), time and calories. I don't really need GPS functionality. Cost is a factor, of course.
What do you use or can recommend? Polar, Nike, Garmin, et.al?

Heart on her sleeve
Taken with my Sony DSC-T100, this was originally a black and white studio project in my photography class, but I colored it in photoshop. It's one of my favorites.
Black Skinny Jeans
If you haven’t bought a pair of skinny black jeans yet, you really need to get on that! I’m not part of the crowd who spends $200 on jeans, so I’ve found you some of the best for under 100 bucks!
I popped in Forever 21 this weekend and picked up this pair for about $20!
Kate Hudson Says Her Baby Has Become a Boy
While her ex-husband Chris Robinson will soon be experiencing with a newborn once again when he welcomes his second child in early 2010, Kate Hudson says her days in the baby phase — at least with their son Ryder Russell — have officially ended. “He’s a boy, the baby has become a boy,” she concedes to Extra.
The moment of truth for the actress came when she noticed Ryder’s reluctance as she kissed her son goodbye each morning.
Heart Disease in Women
The following article was originally published by our Sugar friend, NurseBossyBoots. This was such an important contribution to the literature that I asked her if I could reprint it here: Coronary Artery Disease in Women --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A lot of people think that women do not get heart disease. More women die from heart disease than from anything else.The internet sites feeding into our bad body image...
We've all been there, those days when we're feeling really low, its our time of the month or we've just ate a ton and feel bloated and not so sexy. A lot of us turn to the internet to calculate our BMI, get healthy eating tips or to get some info on the latest exercise breakthrough. However we've disturbingly discovered the new internet sites that are feeding into our bad body image – and they are by no means pro anorexia sites.
