I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to have an e-gremlin in the system…one that I couldn’t find for weeks. And then to finally have a "eureka" moment point to a potential solution…

and it actually work!

I was starting to look like the mad scientist in the picture, and felt like I was just about to start pulling my hair out (Actually, I had already sacrificed a strand or two).

Aarrgh! Charlie Brown and I were having something in common. Frustration with a capital ‘F’, big time. I am SO glad that the darn thing is now working.  Saved me from early female pattern baldness.

So…as that screwy rabbit would say…
"On wid da show!"

There are many good places to have a hearty southwestern breakfast. But few  with the ambience of Sante Fe.

Yesterday, I had my favorite southwestern breakfast, Huevos Rancheros. I was very pleased that there were no refried beans on my plate. The chiles and hashbrowns hit the spot. I was going to dine on it again this morning, but was running a bit behind.

So I missed breakfast altogether. Drats!!!

After a long day of being at a conference, I was more than ready for sleepy time…but NOT before I burned some fire. It was time to feed the fire demon inside…or just to relive my former life as a pyro.
:o/

I was told that a big pile of wood would be waiting for me when I arrived. You see, I specifically reserved a suite that had a fireplace…but not just any ole fireplace - an authentic, southwestern, kiva fireplace. There’s just something about them that feels so down home cozy, that alot of the stress of this trip (like airplane and traffic problems) just melted away. I thought that I’d share a couple of pics of that fireplace with you from my vantage point on the couch.

Now to get back to burning fire…that is, after today’s lecture is o-ver.

Well as Murphy’s Law would have it, I’m just about to board a plane for a conference in New Mexico when my blog designer tells me that my feed has disappeared. I had been looking for my latest post to arrive in my email…actually my last couple of posts…and they are missing in action.

So the question is: "What the heckies is going on?" Technical troubles before a 3 AM roadtrip to the airport is just not what I’m cracked up for right now.

Right now, the soaking tub is calling (for my aching back).

So…just know that AFTER I rest my brain a bit, and deal with my back before I commit to a day on the plane, I’ll be digging into the bowels of this blog (hopefully with the help of my blog architect dude) to figure this out.

Damn you WordPress.

As the weather warms, and warm air meets cool air, the chance of tornadoes goes up. There was a time that my friends in the Los Angeles area would state that they never get tornadoes. But 2005 was a different year for them. With so many twisters hitting the City of Angels (26 in all), well, they can no longer pu pu the midwest because of tornadoes.

Tornadoes have shown their face all over the United States. So what can you do to

I admit it…I’ve been under the weather.

It appears that I’ve waited 48 years to have my first sinus headache. Except it was more than that.  With all the high winds and animal do, who knows what was in my sinuses.

But it was rearing its head on Sunday. I went around to several health remedies stores looking for my old standby, Cat’s Claw tincture  or concentrated gelcaps (not the dried version). None of the stores had it. So I suffered

Billy Blanks has just released the newest Taebo workout - Taebo T3: Total Transformation Training. It claims to be the most effective workout thus far. To me, that would be quite a feat as Taebo Amped is so darn effective and gets results quickly.

From what I could discern from watching

Just to let you know that I will be doing some upgrading to the software that runs this site sometime tomorrow, as I’m a little to fried to get it done tonight…though I tried.

So I thought that the best plan was to rest my brain first…to make sure it goes without a hitch.

This upgrade ’should’ be short, sweet and simple. I’ve already done a dry run on another site. So wish me luck with this one.

Then I can show you some pics from my day at the lake.
Until tomorrow…

Getting a good night’s sleep is hard for many. Looking good while you’re doing it…well…that’s nearly impossible, unless your sleep space is a work of art!

Fresh Home has uncovered 16 designer beds that are uniquely

When I was young, there was saccharin. Sugar Twin was the brand name and came in little pink packets. Then came the push for a new artificial sweetner, with commercials that claimed that it was made from natural ingredients.

That was more than stretching the truth.

The blue packets and tubes seem here to stay. One of the neurophysicists I worked with told me 2 decades ago that his research indicated that aspartame was a neurotoxin and advised that it

Today, I received a link from one of my Canadian friends who recalled our last conversation a few weeks ago regarding threats to our health due to nutrient deficient and genetically altered foods.  She stated that one of her good friends sent it to her…and that she was shocked by the film and thought I’d appreciate it. There isn’t an easy way to introduce this film except to say, "Watch it…then you decide. "

This is part 4, 5 and 6 of the documentary movie called, Esoteric Agenda. There are currently
