Things I think are Great This Week...

Okay, this is not Oprah! (Or Pioneer Woman) I can't give away spectacular things to everyone. Would if I could. Truly! But... Simply cannot afford to do it! Although, I am helpful. I will say...try Amazon.com or Walmart.com :) That being said...I highly recommend watching this movie: MAMMA MIA( Note: I'm not one for musicals. I think there is waaaay too much singing. But this one! Oh my goodness! I love it!) It is so fun!!! Time just flies by! There is tongue in cheek comedy. There is romance. It just makes you feel so good! And you have got to watch it to the very end-past the credits for encore preformances! Love it!!! The costumes and dancing! ha! I'm gonna go out and get me some of those "Kiss Boots"....you wait and see! Then I'm gonna buy this movie, put on my boots, dance on the table and sing loudly along with them! Don't think I won't... cause ya know I will!!! And perhaps, with a little luck, Kiss Boots will come back in fashion someday?! That could really help me achieve my 5' 6" goal!!!


Also, for those of you who also enjoy the Powerbar Plus Protein Bars (and you know who you are:) I came across this website here : http://www.allstarhealth.com/

They carry every type of powerbar imaginable to man! They carry the Powerbar Plus Protein Bars in flavors that I have never seen in the store. Exciting! Also, they just charge $ 5.95 shipping...no matter how many cases you order!!! And the kicker.....they are cheaper online than they are in the stores! I found this site last month. Just love it. I saved money, they shipped my order to my door (which I love!), and they also send you a reminder e-mail when it is time to reorder! How simple. How wonderful. How simply wonderful is that?!! Eating healthy has never been easier for me! Now if I could just get my cases of vodka shipped to my door.....but I digress! :)





Another thing I found moving, motivational, heartfelt and wonderful is this book:

THE LAST LECTURE I read it in two days. And we all know how busy I am, so that is saying something:

1. It is an easy read.

2. It is just so beautiful and inspiring that you don't want to put it down.


It truly put me back in a zen place! Reminded me what is important in life and what little things to just let go! I highly recommend this!


Let me know what you think if you try out any of these...or if you already have. And let me know if have some size 6 Kiss Boots you are no longer using...or, if you want to come dance along with me! It'll be fun!!! I have a new found enjoyment for ABBA music now...who'da thunk it?! :)


Want me to recommend more things that I think are great in the future? Or perhaps, you're still trying too hard to rid the image of me singing and dancing in Kiss Boots. Is that image now seared permanently in your brain? Good luck with that!! Maybe this will help:
"I am the dancing queen....old and petite, singing waaaay off key....
Dancing queen, can you seeeeee..me dancing slighhhhtlyyyy off beeeeeaat?
OH YEAH!
I can drink,
I can rhyme...
having the time of my life! Ooooohhhh...Watch that dork..., causing a scene....she thinks she's a Dancing Queen...."
LOL!!!

I have always been a HUGE Abba fan! I have their whole collection of CDs! No kiddin'!

My very first live musical was seen in FW with Kiki - she took me to Chicago, the musical. I LOVED it. Now, I watch every musical I get the chance to see - even the little hokey local ones!

Haven't seen Mamma Mia yet but I plan to. I love Meryl.

I love Meryl too...I forgot her on my sexy list. I have always thought she was so beautiful in Bridges of Madison County. I have seen Mamma Mia at Bass Hall, but have not rented the movie. I will tho. Looks wonderful. Nice song by the way, your head thinks way too fast. :)
