I Could Care Less about the New Twilight Movie: New Moon

I’ve been reading a lot of chatter on Twitter over the past month about the 2nd Twilight movie: New Moon. Here’s where I get real. Confession: I went to see the first Twilight movie with my wife at the theater. Having admitted that, I am compelled to also inform you that I was less than thrilled.

Does Coffee Stunt Your Growth? REALLY?

I’m here to tell you that coffee is very unhealthy for you. Everything is relative, of course, so it is undoubtedly healthier for your body than other energy drink alternatives.

Blogging is More Than Formulas

I’ve spent years reading, studying, and writing blogs to fit formulas in search of the golden ticket. And I’ve recently had my cathartic moment of truth when I realized my bloglife had to change.

Welcome Back Dexter

It is finally October. Yes, my favorite month is here. Fall is in full swing. It is the one month a year my bat purse doesn’t make me odd, dark make up is okay, and I get to watch all the cheesy horror movies until I want to gouge my eyes out with a dull spoon (and that is a good thing). Another thing I love about this time of year, my favorite serial killer is back with new episodes. Yes, I am talking about Dexter.

Flying the Not So Friendly Skies

I travel somewhat regularly. While I have watched the changes (especially those in air travel) make the experience less user friendly. However, my last trip gave me a much clearer insight. I flew with a friend who had not been on a plane in over a decade. It is one thing to deal with new rules, extra charges and other changes each time you fly. It is another thing to almost all the rules change since your last flight.
