EVERY girl color coordinates her watch bands with her hair scrunchies... Doesn't she?!

What? It's just me???

Ah well, I guess I've taken my anal retentiveness to a whole new level!

I have, in fact, discovered (albeit quite by accident) that I own a complete set of interchangeable watch bands in various colors (12 to be exact) which happen to go QUITE NICELY with my latest find: hair scrunchies in multiple colors.

The degree to which the same colors are replicated is uncanny.

I'm lovin it.

We purchased a new Camcorder.

I know... it sounds too "family-with-kids-ish" for us, but thanks to video blogging (otherwise known as vlogging or vblogging), now EVERYone with a web site is wanting one of these things!

And yes, this should be our final "big purchase" for the year... (see also our recent XM Satellite Radio purchase).
Next on our list: a new house with more property. So we've got some saving to do.

What To Look For In a Video Camera
Also known as digital video recorders... video cameras... and movie cameras... camcorders are the hottest new electronic gadget out there! Fortunately, thanks to major advancements in technology, the camcorders of today put to shame the old video cameras of yesterday.

If you are (or will be soon) in the market for a video camera for the purpose of recording home movies or sharing videos online, then perhaps some of the information that WE learned will help you in your own search for the right camcorder.

Hilarious changes in hairstyles, with the grand finale being... the ponytail!

It was a Saturday morning, and I was in the process of gathering my hair into a ponytail, about to don a baseball cap, when I realized:
I ALWAYS wear my hair in a ponytail!

It used to just be true "sometimes"... then more recently it was "just on weekends", but now that I got my Jeep... it's "darned near all the time".

Which got me thinking... When did I lose all respect for myself and my "look" so much that I resorted to wearing a ponytail and baseball cap virtually 'round the clock?

Believe it or not, there IS such a thing as spider humor...

Check it out!...
A forensic entomologist has unveiled the happy, friendly side of spiders. He calls them Happyface Spiders.

An idiot's guide to accepting, living with, laughing at and dying from cancer

There are a few people in my life who are LIVING with cancer and I, for one, cannot begin to imagine what they are going through.

Such is why I am intrigued whenever I hear another first-person story of someone's life with cancer, including their coping mechanisms, the highs and lows, the ups and downs, and the ultimate realities of struggling to survive this battle with something called "cancer".

Most of all, I appreciate when people are able to maintain their sense of humor through it all.

I'm in need of a vacation.

I mean more than just a day or two off from work. I mean a GETAWAY... a TRIP... an ADVENTURE where I have to travel more than 30 minutes to get there.

Ahhhh... but until Jim finds the time to whisk me away to some beachy paradise location, I'm left to reminisce about two of my all-time favorite vacations:

• A Caribbean Cruise; and

Listen to Bud Light's Real Men of Genius "Mr. Cruise Ship Entertainer":

• An All-Expense Paid Trip to New York City

Want to know how many door prizes I've won in my lifetime?...

Two.

A free t-shirt, and an all-expense paid trip to New York City!
