Fairy Godmother Makeover

I need one of these - a fairy godmother.  I want her to wave her magic wand and I'll be skinny again, with great skin and pretty hair. A closet full of clothes from The Buckle would be nice too! She'll just give me a slimming pill and poof! 20 pounds gone!  Oh, well, since it's magic, might as well go for 30 pounds gone!

On Friday, I am getting my hair cut and colored.  I've decided to try dark.  I'm not sure how it is going to look with my skin tone - might look like death warmed over - but I won't know until I try.  I know blond makes me look washed out.  My normal brown is blah boring.  I'm going dark! What the heck, it's only hair.

Most Important Men's Vitamin

What is THE most important vitamin for a man to take if he was only going to take one?  I have been looking for a men's vitamin that includes everything a man needs but not being male, I don't know what that is and my husband doesn't really care all that much.  I have been telling him for the last few years that he has to start taking Lycopene for his prostate but he has no clue what Lycopene is (he probably doesn't know what a prostate is either).  I set his vitamins out for him and he's good for the first day or two of taking them and then he stops.  Maybe if they tasted fruity and were chewable like the kids' vitamins, he'd remember to take them.

Web Directories

I just googled web directories and my URL for this blog and it came back as being in a directory for parenting/mothers. I don't remember doing that.   Does google index things that way on their own? 

Maybe I did do it and don't remember.  That wouldn't surprise me at all.  My memory is pretty much mush anymore.

Celebrity Weight Gain & Loss

Everybody makes a big deal about celebrity weight gain, like they're not human like the rest of us.  Of course, the rest of us don't have access to personal trainers on a daily basis and fancy diets and their choice of diet pills so they do have some advantages to the weight issue.  Of course, the average person's weight gain isn't splashed across the magazines for the world to see (can you imagine how horrid that would be?) so maybe it's not all that great.

Marie Osmond and Valerie Bertinelli did a great job with losing weight.  They look a lot better than I do and they're years older!
