My Opinion Counts

Florida is such a nice place to vacation. I think our family should go in together and buy property in Florida . People from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales have the right idea. They have been investing in property in Florida for some time now. Now they have a great place to go to enjoy beautiful weather. They can relax on the beach or go to Disney World and ride the rides. Florida has so much to offer. We enjoyed visiting Edison's home. I had no idea of all the things he invented. Many are on display at his home. I remember the big banyon tree that had all the branches intertwined in unusual patterns. You would never lack places to see if you owned a place in Florida. This is a sponsored post.

My nephew Jason, his wife Amanda and their new baby, Myli, are on their way for a visit. Myli is 5 months old and I have never met her. I can't wait to hold her. I love babies. Especially the ones I don't have to get up in the night to hold.

Right now at Active-Sandals.com they are having a huge inventory sale. Check out the popular rainbow sandals for the best selection on the web. These sandals are so popular because they last so long. While looking around on the site I found some really cool Teva sandals. I am so glad because I have a pair of Teva's but they are almost 2 years old. It is time to get another pair. OMG! My sister, Grace, is going to love this site. They have their Croc's on sale for $15.88. Now I can get more colors. On orders over $75.00 they offer free shipping. This is a sponsored post.

Yesterday we went for a much needed Dairy Queen break. I was going to get something small but OMG!!! they have their MINT OREO BLIZZARDS this month. They are mahhvahlus. Got to Dairy Queen's Fan Club site to register for coupons. This month if you buy any size Mint Oreo Blizzard you get a second one free. Now we have to go back since we didn't have this coupon yesterday. LOL

Many women have dreamt of their wedding from the time they were little girls. They have envisioned the day when they marry the person who loves them with all their heart. Russian Brides have that dream too. It is very hard in their country to meet someone who wants the same things in life that they do. At Lovers Planet.com singles can find a serious relationship. The website offers the chance to see pictures as well as profiles of singles they would like to date. As a member, singles are afforded the chance to special features. Today's fast paced lifestyle makes it hard to meet people. Russian women have a greater dissadvantage because of the low number of men per women in their society. They dream of love and happiness. This dating service gives them that chance. This is a sponsored post.

As a person who was in a wheelchair for a while I notice how steep ramps are. When we drove to the airport to pick up our daughter my husband got the wheelchair and I sat in it. I didn't know he hopped into the car and took off. Now, that little ole slope of a ramp didn't look very steep so off I went. I wheeled myself up and back down I rolled! I tried and tried but could not get up that stinkin' ramp. I pushed myself out of that wheel chair and frankenstein style walked around to the back of the chair and pushed it into the airport. I wonder if anyone watching thought they had just witnessed a miracle.

I love to get flowers. I know that some people think they are a waste of money but I guess that is why I like them. I am special enough to deserve something that is given for sentiment only! I also send flowers through the internet. At Digital Flowers.com they send their flowers out right away so the recipient recieves only the freshest boquet. I have found it so easy to send digital flowers from my favorite Seattle flower shop. Their shop also offers balloons, bears and candy. Their gift baskets are wonderful. Check out their site and see how you can order from where you are and have them sent to any location. They offer choices for different occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, and get well sentiments. Fresh flowers are just a click away! Sponsored post.

The woman astronaut, Lisa Nowak, who stalked a woman because she thought that woman was stealing her boyfriend, was not charged with attempted murder. She is very lucky. Go to CNN to see the story. When I think of how I react when I am upset, I can understand that she did something stupid. I would not have gone to the extreme that she did. It does seem strange that someone as intelligent as an astronaut could sink so low. To become an astronaut is a long a grueling process. On the other hand, they are human. Maybe we can compare astronauts to politicians.

Today we shopped at an antique store. Besides antiques, this store had lots of collectibles like Longaberger and Barbie. I'm not sure about the prices they were asking but they seemed high. I have been looking at some things online at ebay. The more months I check on baskets and dishes, the more I am able to compare prices. I am so glad I can check out things on my own time and get a better deal when I do shop. It is so much more fun to buy when you feel like you are getting a good deal.

Videos on the internet have become so popular. I just recently found that I can take videos with my digital camera and have become a director in training! PayPerPost has been running around the country using their version of reality tv By making videos called RockStartup, they are trying to get their name out so that people can have as much fun as I am and make money too! My most favorite RockStartup video was the Postie Wedding. I have blogged with Julie, Jules as she is known on PPP, since way back when her boyz were very little. My kids were still in junior high and high school and are grown and out of the house now. We have read about each other for many years so it was so sweet when she and her beau, Michael, were voted to receive the wedding through PayPerPost. It brought tears to my eyes to see how happy both the bride and groom were and to see the boy's acceptance and happiness to become a family. Julie is a beautiful person inside and out. She always cares with all of her heart even if it sometimes means she gets hurt. Her boys are caring and loving because of the love their mom gives. The reality video of this sentimental day was shared with all of us. I hope all the viewers could see what a community we posters have become as we shared the blessed day. The only thing that would have made it better is if we all could have been there! You can watch the video here. Enjoy!!!

Antonella Barba cannot sing! Why is she still on American Idol? I cringe when she is off key, which she is most of the time. Good thing she has controversy on her side because maybe she will get some modeling jobs from the gossip. Melinda is the star. Her version of Funny Valentine was so awesome. She has talent. Wow, that show was over quickly last night!

I finally figured out who sings one of my favorite songs, Black Horse and The Cherry Tree. It is KT Tunstall a new songwriter whose gravely voice reminds me of Carol King and Stevie Nicks. Add a little Janis Joplin raunchiness and you have her sound. Picture sitting in a smokey bar with a pool table and this skinny girl is strumming her guitar and singing songs from her soul. My favorite song is an upbeat story and makes me want to sing along with it. Now I have the CD so I can! She grew up in St. Andrew's beautiful countryside. Knowing she was adopted at birth gave her the insight of knowing that she could have led quite a different life that the sheltered one she enjoyed. Her intensity shines through the lyrics in each of her songs which she sings with her life inspired wisdom. Describing her inquiring imagination, she explains, "My songs examine and explore little specific emotions or situations or stories. They're kitchen table songs, like a conversation between me and one other person. It's almost like an alien has been sent to get emotional samples from human beings and put it all together on a record." Her CD joins my Cheryl Crowe, Fleetwood Mac and Carrie Underwood compilations. Information was gathered from Kt's website biography.
