{November 7, 2009}   5 Types of Vacations

  
 

Besides being a nice escape from our everyday lives, traveling is a wonderful way to become a more well-rounded person, because it allows you to experience the way others live. The five types of vacations below are vastly different. But each one will give you a new perspective of yourself and the world around you.

  

The Adventure Vacation
This type of trip will have you stepping out of your comfort zone … a lot. Head someplace where hiking, kayaking, rock climbing, whitewater rafting and other pulse-raising activities are easy to come by. Instead of staying in a hotel, try camping out. By roughing it and taking on such adrenaline-pumping feats, you’ll see a side of yourself you never knew was there.

  

The Indulgence Vacation
Spa treatments, room service and gourmet cuisine are all on the menu during this trip. Book a room at a swanky resort, get a daily massage, and sample the finest foods and wines. The point is to invigorate all your senses, rejuvenate your spirit and return home feeling like well-rested royalty.

  

The Typical Tourist Vacation
Strap the camera ’round your neck, hop on the double-decker bus and snap away. On this trip, you’ll want to cram in all the landmarks, tours and photos you can. Go someplace you’ve read about or seen on TV. Learn about the history and the people there. Partake in their traditions and try the local dishes. In the end, you’ll have some truly amazing memories, not to mention a very impressive scrapbook.

  

The Act Your Shoe Size Vacation
Whether you take the kids along or not, consider this trip as your second childhood. Forget all the stresses of work and your adult life, and head to a theme park where you can ride rides, play games and go for a swim. When you take a vacation with kid glasses on, you see things in a whole new light.

 

The Staycation
On this trip, stay at a nice hotel, eat at restaurants you’ve never tried before, go shopping at a new mall and get tickets to a show … no more than 15 miles from your house. The point is to see a side of your city you’ve never seen before, so that when your trip is over, you’ll have a brand new appreciation for your hometown.

{November 4, 2009}   A GOOD PRESIDENT
I cannot believe it has been a year since we voted. So many people made a BIG fuss about President Obama and the whole race issue. Just for kicks here’s what he may have looked like as a white man. I like the REAL photo on the LEFT better!
 
Seriously his race doesn’t matter it’s whether or not he’s a GOOD PRESIDENT because I wouldn’t want to have a BAD one…
 
Oh wait didn’t we already have that?!?

Joke of the Week:
 
Question: Why was the ladys hair angry?
 
Answer: Because she was always teasing it.
 
 Weird Fact of the Week:
 
One in every 4 Americans has appeared on television.
  
*Now I am not exactlty sure how accurate this is but me, my 2 sisters, and mother appeared on Bozo the Clown show back in the early 80’s. Out of a family of 5 my father was the only person to not appear on TV. My most recent TV appearance was Election Day 2008. On the news they were showing people who were voting. I’m just saying…

{October 31, 2009}   Changing YOUR Look
Changing your look can be fun even when it’s not Halloween. For instance I recently changed my hair from long to short because it’s easier to manage.
 
Going trick-or-treating when I was younger was always a blast. What was one of your favorite Halloween costumes on yourself? How about on someone else? Let me know by shooting me an email. Have FUN tonight & remember:
 
“SAFETY FIRST DANGER LAST!”
 
Favorite costume on ME: I was a SNORK in preschool with an inflatable head (lol)
My Favorite Costume on Someone else: My sister Monica was one of the Misfits from Jem (super cute)

Joke of the Week:
 
Ralph was driving home one evening and realized that it was his daughters birthday and he hadn’t bought her a present. He drove to the mall and ran to the toy store and he asked the store manager, “How much is that new Barbie in the window?”
 
The Manager replied, “Which one? We have Barbie goes to the gym for $19.95, Barbie goes to the Ball for $19.95, Barbie goes shopping for $19.95, Barbie goes to the beach for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $375.00.”
 
“Why is the Divorced Barbie $375.00 when all the others are $19.95?!?”, Ralph asked surprised. The Manager replies, “Well, Divorced Barbie comes with Kens car, Kens House, Kens boat, Kens dog, Kens cat and Kens furniture.”

{October 23, 2009}   Happy Birthday SCORPIO

ANY person celebrating their special day from:      

October 23rd - November 21rst 

Deep, intense Scorpio may seem withdrawn, but natives of this sign hold within themselves rapid-firing brains and rich depths.

Beneath a controlled, cool exterior beats the heart of the deeply intense Scorpio. Passionate, penetrating, and determined, this sign will probe until they reach the truth. The Scorpio may not speak volumes or show emotions readily, yet rest assured there’s an enormous amount of activity happening beneath the surface. Excellent leaders, Scorpions are always aware. When it comes to resourcefulness, this sign comes out ahead.
