Gretchen Rossi, is that you?
The former Real Housewives of Orange County star shared a rare makeup free photo on Tuesday, captioned, "My Happy Place at the end of the day; with my boys cuddled in bed, no makeup, ready for beauty sleep #feelingblessed #lovemy4boys #grateful."

And while we admire her for sharing the pic sans makeup, we can't help but notice that she looks NOTHING like the Gretchen we're used to seeing.
Gretchen, 36, left the Bravo series two years ago and has since focused on her fashion line, the Gretchen Christine collection. She was married to Chris Rossi from 2004-2007 and is now romantically involved with Slade Smiley.
Keep up that selfie game, Gretch!

In addition to his wonderful pastels and sculptures of the human body, Degas painted wonderful impressionistic pastels of horses and jockeys which capture all the tension of a race or the start of a race.
The wonderful picture "Jockeys Sous La Pluie" (Jockeys in the rain) can be viewed at the Burrell Collection in Glasgow. It is executed in pastels and shows jockeys gathering at the start of a race in the rain. Degas has captured the tension and excitement at the start of the race. Degas was fascinated by movement and here he adds a shower of rain to an already restless image. Degas uses pastel and depicts the rain in long, fine, strokes of blue. The diagonal lines of these marks are echoed in the hatched strokes he uses to describe the grass and rain-filled sky. Indeed, Degas' use of weather and technique seem to perfectly match the twitching movements of the horses as they wait for the race to begin.

How to serve wine? 3 Mistakes You've Been Making
The first rule is cool for whites and at room temperature for red wines. Must still be treated with the utmost care before placing them on the table.
Before the service : cellar precautions
A common mistake is to avoid: for an old wine, they tend to lead very early to oxygenate the wine. However, on an old vintage, a natural deposit was formed: it is therefore necessary before the result, leave the bottle a few hours in the vertical position for the deposit falls to the bottom. The wine will be much better. Try using a wine rack if you don't have much storage space. It will be a shame to ignore this advice as much as your cellar has taken so long to develop.
The right temperature
Blanks must be refreshed the more they are softer, they should be served chilled . Thus, the great Sauternes are the best absolutely freezing . But this is an exception : in general icing is a mistake because the excessive cold obliterates taste and characteristics. Better example drink white burgundy quality not cool enough too cold. The fridge is often used, since it takes between 1 hour and 2 hours to "hit" the wine, while the use of an ice bucket can be worn at the ideal temperature in about 20 minutes.
Ideal temperature for dry whites and rosés : between 5 and 6 degrees
The red wines are young and full-bodied (eg Médoc ) may be opportunities few hours before serving. Very young to be win opportunities yesterday. This additional time breathing help them acquire maturity and fluffy. Against the widespread opinion, a mature Bordeaux (over 5 years) or old (over 10 years) does not need to be aired so long. If it is really old, decant it directly to the table. Even in this case, it may happen that fades and dies between the first and second glass.
Ideal temperature for dry whites and rosés : between 17 and 18 degrees
Fashion is complex corkscrews , designed to facilitate an easy opening On a wine cork and therefore a young , little risk of handling these complicated objects. However, they present a danger to the fragile old wines with cork may disintegrate. Our preference is always to classic "T" corkscrew. Select it with a long spiral as long plugs are used for fine wines . The metal part that enters the cork does not have the shape of a blade with a tip, but that because the cutting too much plug.
What is a corked wine ?
It refers to a wine " corked " when the plug, defective, prematurely aged and moldy. In this case the wine in contact, the developing properties of said stopper, that is, a taste and odor. For this reason it is customary to serve the master of the house first, so that it guarantees not to serve his guests to a non corked wine. At the restaurant , the sommelier must feel the cap in order to detect any abnormalities. If you detect a problem, you must return the bottle on the spot.
What glasses Avoid any colored glasses. Rather winemakers choose crystal glasses united to bring out the natural color of the wine. Glasses too small harm wines which must be enough room for you to make the turn in and they "breathe" exhaling their bouquet. The best lenses are large, tulip-shaped, clear and thin. The cutting itself must have the shape of an apple or an orange.

This persevering with career development is separate from traditional training as a result of it offers with future wants and any doable promotions. Based on Gomez-Majia, Balkin, and Cardy (2010), the variations between coaching and improvement, in coaching, the main target is solely on the current job; in development, the focus is on each the present job and jobs that workers will maintain sooner or later." This continuing education process is so important to the health care business that it's required by many state and federal companies. This requirement comes in the type of yearly certification and licensing requirements.

In all instances of studies carried out, the offspring is found to be lighter and shorter than those who have dad and mom who don't smoke. Incidents of placental abortion, prenatal mortality and premature labour are found to be more in case of moms who smoke. Smoking of the mom may additionally trigger congenital harm to the respiratory system of infants. Smoking parents are known to have youngsters with diminished potency of the immune system.
Most people obtained a correct Form 1095-A. However, if we contacted you because your Form 1095-A is incorrect, this is one reason why. Some kinds included the month-to-month premium quantity of the second lowest price Silver plan for 2015 as an alternative of 2014. The wrong quantity is listed in Half III, Column B of the Kind 1095-A. This doesn't suggest your tax credit was incorrect; that is purely an error in what was printed on the form.
After I first discovered the best way to do basic mindfulness workouts, I was amazed. I found that whole conversations have been going on just below consciousness. Not solely was it attention-grabbing to see, however probably the most wonderful part was that I could now typically end emotions of fear or anxiousness. All I needed to do was stop and watch my mind till I discovered the cause. Yes, it really is commonly that easy. Should you forgot to write down an appointment, for instance, it may be bothering you for hours. As soon as you see that, you write it down and you are feeling relaxed once more. If an argument is playing and replaying subconsciously in your thoughts and stressing you out, typically simply bringing it to consciousness will make you laugh and dismiss it.

Mom Giving Birth Never Realized What Her Corgi Was Doing, Until Photographer Showed Her These Pics
They say that dogs are a man's best friend, but I have always personally thought that the famous saying doesn't truly do our fluffy friends justice. Why? Because when you live alongside someone, when you think about them at all hours of the day and love them with all your heart, they should really be considered family.
You often hear young couples who are yet to have children refer to their dog as their 'baby' and older families whose children have flown the nest often rely on their canine companions to fill the void that their offspring have left.
To highlight just how incredible dogs are, watch this video to meet some of the most famous canines in history…
To illustrate just how amazing dogs are, let me introduce you to the most magical photo shoot you shall ever lay your eyes on. If this doesn't prove the power of a puppy, then I don't know what will…
The snaps were taken by Kristin Waner, a photographer from Odessa, Texas, who was tasked with capturing the home birth of a young family's third child.
Waner had visited the family before and taken the photographs for the births of two of their three children, so she already knew this would be a beautiful shoot.
However, she wasn't prepared for the family's pet corgi, Ranger. The adorable pooch was ever present throughout the entire birth process, staying loyally by Brooke's side as she delivered her fourth child into the world.
In the chaos of the beautiful moment, Ranger's interest and concern went unnoticed. It wasn't until Kristin edited the photographs that she saw just how key a role Ranger played…
"From the moment I walked in the door, Ranger was so excited. You could tell he knew something was happening. He quickly came in to greet me, then headed right back to the bedroom to be with Brooke as she labored," Kristin writes for Bored Panda.
"He was very curious as to what was going on. He laid under the bed watching her rock back and forth. He was a calming presence when the power and intensity of her contractions started," she continued.
"Every once in a while he would jump on the bed to give her a reassuring kiss to let her know she could do this. It was a beautiful thing to watch – the bond between mom and baby and man's best friend. This made me take notice."
"It's not something you see every day. Every moment I saw him interacting with Brooke I tried to take as many pictures as possible. I knew this was special."
"There were moments of laughter and moments of pain watching her overcome each contraction. Ranger sat on the couch watching her, making sure everything was okay."
"Ranger would come and give her another reassuring kiss then back to the couch he went. He knew she was in good hands so he waited patiently for the new baby to arrive."
Brooke gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl whom they named Berkeley – the first girl in the family, making her Ranger's first and only sister.
"Through all the commotion, little Ranger jumped up and ran right over to meet his new (and only) little sister. He loved her. He watched every moment from her getting weighed to her first outfit changed. He was so proud to see her and the work Brooke did."
"When I got home to look through all the photos I was in heaven looking at all the beautiful moments from this birth. I wanted to laugh and cry while looking through them. They were perfect."
"When I sent the preview to Brooke, she had no idea he never left her side. It was so nice that I could capture that for her and she now can look back and see things she otherwise might not have noticed."
"I can't wait to see Ranger and Berkeley's new relationship grow. I hope he helps and guides her through her new adventurous life just like he did with her mom."
Shortly afterward, Kristin uploaded a few of the snaps to Facebook where she got an overwhelmingly positive response from all who saw them…
"I was overjoyed by the reaction it got. There were no reports of nudity/sexual content, no disapproving comments, and no one leaving my page."
"Birth is raw and it is something people aren't used to seeing. It is something that does not need to be hidden though," writes Kristin. "With Ranger's story, I have had only positive feedback."
"People were seeing the beauty of birth and accepting it as nothing but heartwarming. I am so thankful I could share the beauty of life and the strength of this strong women through the eyes of Ranger."
People were quick to flood the comments with positive messages. "Oh my gosh, I hope the experience and energy in the room was just as beautiful as these photos make it out to be.
So much love here, congratulations on a loving new baby and a peaceful, perfect corgi by your side," writes one user.
"I love these!! The love the puppy shows is so amazing!" writes another supportive Facebook user, echoing the sentiments of thousands of others.
Since the photo series went viral online, Ranger has become something of a canine hero. But nobody will ever love him more than his family – especially baby Berkeley who will no doubt share a special bond with the doting doggie.
Looking through the snaps it's easy to think of Ranger as a third parent. The look of concern and love on his face are clear to see!
If you didn't already understand how a dog can be a member of the family, then maybe you now can. It's clear that Ranger is a very special member of the family indeed.
Just think how much this family can save on their future childcare bills thanks to Ranger! It's like a real-life Disney film!
If you already adored dogs, then you are probably feeling fit to burst having seen these! And, if you considered yourself a cat person before, then you are no doubt feeling rather conflicted right now…

Summer Novels, My Kitty Boys and My Hair!
Posted by
My big goal is to finish
The Goddess of Vengeance Wore Pink Galoshes
this summer. I know a few of us are trying to write novels this summer, and I thought it might be fun to keep up on each other's progress and encourage each other in this ambitious endeavor!
If you're interested, let me know in the comments what you're writing and what your goal is (mine is to finish before Labor Day, and I have about 70-80k to write to get there!) I'll have the challenge posted in my sidebar, so we can check in on each other's blogs throughout the summer. I'd love it if you posted too, and you're welcome to use my little badge or make one of your own. And, of course, if you have any other ideas for how to help each other out through the challenge, please post them below!
Another set of prospective kitty parents visited Buster and Bonzai today. It went very well - although there was an unfortunate moment when I was trying to hold Bonzai (our very shy kitty) and he freaked. I now have some unfortunate deep scratches on my arm from him using it as a launchpad... oh well. These new folks seem so nice though, and found our kitties very cute, sweet and fluffy. So hopefully these boys will have a new home come July!
Last but not least, pics of my new haircut as promised... although bear in mind, this is with me washing and styling it, and I'm a lazy styler. If it takes more than 5 minutes, it's not happening. So it doesn't look quite like it did fresh from the salon... I quite like it though. It's OK if I just let it air dry to my natural waves or I can straighten it after with the iron. I might still go with the
short cut
from my style post at some point, but I like the bangs and layers a lot too.
Yes, I was sitting on my front step taking photos of myself for the light. Pretty sure the neighbors think I'm someone's narcissistic teenager, not the homeowner. Because who does that? (Bloggers, that's who!)

Summer Resolutions
Posted by
Inspired by Kelle Hampton's
lovely post
(not a "writing" blogger, but I've mentioned my addiction to mommy blogs before), I thought I'd write today about summer resolutions. Softer and gentler than New Year's resolutions, summer resolutions should be like a puffy dandelion - easy come, easy go in a warm breeze.
So these are my summer resolutions:
I'll do yoga and go on long runs. When I want to.
I'll spend weekend mornings at Starbucks, drinking decadent coffee-related beverages with extra whip and working away on
The Goddess of Vengeance Wore Pink Galoshes
My mountain bike will make it out of the garage at least once a week.
Homemade ice cream will be made, and consumed, regularly.
Travel for work is a given, but I'll make the most of it. I'll do tourist-y stuff and explore local coffee houses for new writing spaces, rather than staying in my dimly lit hotel room to work. I'll go to the movies
by myself
for the first time ever.
I'll make it to the beach at least once, instead of just griping about how much I miss California, where it was a regular destination.
I will meet with other writers. Some time. Somehow.
My toenails will not resemble some kind of horror-movie villain. I will get a pedicure once a month.
I'll make some kind of art - play around with my point-and-shoot or my old beloved charcoals and see what happens.
What are your summer resolutions?

The Hypnotist and the Giant Tots
Posted by
Today was a surprisingly fun day at work, work aside. Every once in a while we have a "safety stand down", which is oddly reminiscent of some kind of high school assembly, only with grown-ups who are paid to be there. We have to leave our desks, turn off our Blackberries, and sit in an auditorium - where the air conditioning often seems to fail - to be reminded Not To Die. Not to die from drinking too much alcohol, not to die on a boat, not to die in a car (I'd turn this into a Doctor Seuss poem if I were even less irreverent or more poetic -- either one). With Memorial Day and 4th of July coming up, it was time for another lesson on How Not To Be Completely Stupid And Waste Your Life.
The Powers Who Be do their best to make this experience entertaining, though, and so today's presentation included a hypnotist.
And whoa. I believed that hypnosis was real, to some extent; I think our brains can be manipulated. Otherwise, no one would buy iPads or Tiffany engagement rings. But it's one thing to appreciate a technical possibility and another thing to see it in real life.
The hypnotist pulled about sixteen people from the audience, hypnotized them, and then put them to sleep by saying "Sleep" or shaking their hands, either way.
Then things got crazy. First, he told them all to think back to when they were four years old, drawing them back through high school, middle school, fifth grade, fourth grade... to age four. He said that when they woke up, they'd be four years old. And when they all sat up in their chairs, one 30-year-old guy was already rocking back and forth in the infamous pee-pee dance.
It wasn't the fact that they followed orders, donning costumes and trick-or-treating amongst the crowd, that surprised me. That seemed par for the course. What surprised me was the actual regression, like the boy - erm, man - who got up from his seat to go steal the Jason mask away from another subject, the adults skipping around and yelling "Trick or treat!" in high pitched voices, or the grown man and woman who bumped elbows while raising their hands and then began to catfight, swiping each other's hands.
One thing that I appreciated about the hypnotist's regression of those subjects, though, was that he told them, "You remember the toys you played with, the TV shows you liked, your bedroom. You remember all the happy things from being four years old, and only the happy things. You're four years old again, and you're happy." Because when he first started to take them back to childhood, I was nervous for them... some people don't have childhoods they need to return to.
Don't you wish that every child could just be four years old with only happy things to remember?

What's your outlining style?
Posted by
Since I didn't have the most current copy of
The Goddess of Vengeance Work Pink Galoshes
on my computer this past week to work on, I've been focused on outlining. I'm using a combination method, outlining a few chapters ahead, but still letting things develop. So far, I like this method a lot, as someone who tends to write by the seat of her pants rather than according to a strict timeline -- it's good to know what comes next, even though I don't feel the urge to know the exact events of chapter eighteen yet.
My outline is flippin' long, though. Right now I think every page of my outline is about 10-15 pages of fiction; my outline is more of a synopsis (and a detailed synopsis, at that; not the kind of thing any agent would want to wade through!).
I've read and been intrigued by several different outlining styles, like
the snowflake method
chapter outlines or chapter summaries
. For right now, though, what I'm doing seems to be working for me, even though this long outline is less efficient than some other methods (I've even found myself starting to outline
Bodie's Men
when flashes of inspiration come to me, which I think is going be my 2010 NaNo project). We'll see what outlining method I settle into when I've written ten novels - part of being a writer is experimentation, in my book. :p
The one thing I'm sold on? Outlining somehow, anyhow. I'm so much faster writing now, but I'm also enjoying my writing time more. It's harder for me to get road blocked when I know what happens next and how my character is getting to that next pivotal scene!
Do you "pre-write", assembling your outline before you touch fingers to keyboard, make it up as you go along, or outline-as-you-go like me? If you do outline, what's your preferred method, or are you still deciding?

This is what it's like in my head.
Posted by
Due to a lack of other inspiration, today's post is brought to you via stream of conciousness. In other word's, it's a little random (books, bangs, opposable thumbs, and quite a lot about sweets).
I've read
45 books
so far this year.
Hoping to hit 50 before June, for no real reason whatsoever...
I decided to travel light for work and only bring my work laptop (as opposed to my usual work laptop/personal MacBook combo), but sent myself the wrong copy of GODDESS. Brilliant. I was so excited to keep working on the interactions between Willow and Lauren, and now I don't know what to do with myself. Actually, I do. I have an outline to grow. That's just not as glamorous.
I made the best. carrot. cake. ever. to welcome MJ home from his business trip before I departed on mine (he got into the airport around 10pm Friday night, we had Saturday together, and then I left Sunday afternoon). I am dying for some carrot cake right now. Oh, and I miss MJ too. But that was some seriously amazing carrot cake.
My mom is visiting this coming weekend! I have big plans... high tea, antiquing and bookstores in Fredericksburg, VA, Gadsby's Tavern and Museum in Alexandria (plus my favorite cupcakery), massages and pedi's, maybe dim sum... I might also put her to work helping me paint and shop for the house. :p
Nothing yet on the kitties -- the potential new kitty parents can't take any new cats into their home until mid-July. OMG. I am really in love with these cats; it's heartbreaking to wait on their forever home. I know this is what I signed up for, but I don't want to fall any more in love with them!
I spent last week with MJ away nesting like crazy. Besides all the regular type house cleaning that goes along with three cats, a pile-up of more clothes than anyone actually needs in the laundry room, and an ant invasion in our kitchen... I even bought and assembled a dresser (which is impressive for me, since I'm less handy than any creature with opposable thumbs really should be). I unpacked several boxes still lingering in our garage. And yes, we moved nine months ago... I could have birthed a child in less time than it's taking us to unpack. Thank God for Glee -- I couldn't have been so domestic without a fun distraction.
By the way, am I the only one who ever gets tired of packing and begins labeling boxes "Random" and "Stuff"? That's a terrible habit.
I'm in Georgia right now. It's hot and I was caught in an outrageously-out-of-nowhere thunderstorm while running after work. Looking forward to exploring Georgia more though, I'm here a lot this summer!
Oh, and I got a haircut, but I can't find my camera battery charger so I can upload photos. My new hair is also very big... my hair likes to be big... but I like it soo much better. I have bangs now! And, as is turns out, an annoying coworker who likes to ruffle them! More to come later.
I am currently very interested in clean eating (like the boks by
Tosca Reno
), although less interested in giving up things like the aforementioned carrot cake. I'm *reasonably* trim on a diet that includes homemade ice cream, muffins and waffles on weekend mornings, and M&Ms as afternoon pick-me-ups... do I care to be *really* trim if it means giving up such sugary goodness?
I need to go catch up on everyone else's blogs. I'm a bad blogger, but my house is very clean and I had to spend every minute I could this weekend with MJ!

Last night, my internet gave out as soon as I finished typing up my blog post. This morning, I have the internet back but can't cut-and-paste last night's post over into Blogger for some reason.
So just trust me. There's supposed to be an entertaining post here. Hopefully I can fix it when I get back tonight. :)

Minor writing crisis: Good home, bad home?
Posted by
I told y'all about Submission Sundays, where I'd try to submit something once a week (and then promptly failed to blog about it, of course). This past Sunday I did a little hunting on
and found an anthology looking for horror/suspense flash fiction, which was exactly what I wanted -- I've been looking for a home for my odd semi-humorous through-the-eyes-of-a-serial-killer flash fiction (with a happy ending) for a while now.
And I got an acceptance back.
Now, here's where my crisis comes in. I haven't sold anything to an anthology since I was 12, and that was an unsatisfying experience (never saw it in print, another writer who contributed to it told me that my story was in it, but I never received a copy). This sounds like the same sort of deal -- the payment is "exposure only", and I can't help but think -- not even a contributor's copy? Is anyone who isn't a contributor going to buy this?*
I don't know if I'm being crazy or not here. I like seeing my words in print, as we all do, but I want it to be "real". I want the process to be competitive, my work to be great when it's finally accepted, and for it to be
I hope you guys get what I mean here! Obviously there are great anthologies out there... I'm just worried that I might send my lovingly raised little tale to the wrong home!
I kind of want to call the anthology and ask, Dorothy style, "Are you a good home or a bad home?" But I'll have to settle for googling (and any words of wisdom you readers have would be much appreciated!)
On a separate note (Well, not really, since we've been talkin homes), for those following the foster-kitty saga, the potential new family hasn't been able to visit yet. Hopefully they'll be meeting Buster and Bonzai this weekend -- cross your fingers for my boys!
*Yes, I realize I should have had this crisis prior to sending my flash fiction in. What can I say - I get a little swept away in the process sometimes.

It's Hard To Be A Girl (at least, it used to be), and Historical Fiction
Posted by
I just finished reading
The Girl With a Pearl Earring
by Tracy Chevalier. It was a good book, but a little depressing as I've found all Chevalier's books so far (I'm not sure if it's her writing style or just the unfortunate position and plights of women in earlier ages that leave me so grumpy).
The idea of writing historical fiction sort of blows my mind. I've written historically-inspired short stories and poetry. In fact, my undergrad thesis was a mish-mas of a few different elements:
an examination of how "history" and "fiction" combine to different degrees in different forums, with fictional dialogue and exposition used increasingly in actual historical texts to convey a depth that facts alone cannot;
an analysis of women's history in Warsaw in World War II -- women in Poland were much slower than women in say, Poland, to campaign for women's rights, probably in part because they were usually involved in quietly supporting the revolution and preserving their culture through cycles of Russian oppression;
a short story about a young woman in Poland, her mother dead, father in Auschwitz as a political prisoner, and her brother somewhere in the Polish Army, trying to protect her younger sister and wrestling with her own involvement in the war.
So the research for that short story evolved very naturally from reading and writing about Poland anyway, with a very concentrated focus (women in Warsaw from 1939 to 1945), and it was still quite a challenge. It blows me away how much research it must take to get the right details and construct the world properly to write a historical novel!
But man, I would like to. I have a lot to say right now in a modern setting, but someday I want to write more in a historical vein. I'm an amateur historian as it is -- it's just a matter of having a story that needs to be told in that setting. And then, of course, reading and reading and reading exhaustively.
What genres do you write, and what genres do you want to write?

In Which I Post Random Thoughts (And Cute Kitties!) Just To Post
Posted by
Well, I finished the A-Z blogging challenge and then started slacking off, didn't I? Now I'm at work -- yes, at 930 pm -- I'll be here all night, since I have to work a 24 hour shift every once in a while (the scary thing is I will go from here to meetings meetings meetings all day tomorrow!). I do get to sleep from about 2-6 if nothing crazy happens.
There are some plus sides to being up most of the night. I plan to work on The Goddess of Vengeance like... well... like it's my job. And I plan to finish
Making Toast
Girl with a Pearl Earring
. I'm in a hurry to finish up more books so I can return them to my lib when I go pick up the new ones waiting for me -- I have a couple 2010 debut novels to read! I just finished
Hex Hall
which I loved. It had great voice, great pacing, and the MC was just so funny and relatable. (Being one of those fiction multi-taskers, I am also working on Terry Pratchett's
-- I totally thought Terry Pratchett was a woman until checking the book flap -- as my bathtub book and
Prada and Prejudice
as my nightstand book)
I have a secret addictions in blogging: mommy blogs. It's enough to make me want to become a mommy blogger myself, except that my blog title would have to be Adventures of the Completely Unprepared. Babies for me are a few years down the road. First I want to enjoy my nice furniture and travel. I could blog about my cats, I guess!
Speaking of which... my foster kitties Buster and Bonzai have an interested family that sounds perfect! I hope they're a good match. I'm starting to get a little attached to these boys, which means they need to find their forever home ASAP before it hurts that much more to give them up!
Bonzai Cat is more important than your book!
A few of my favorite things... foster kitties, Buffy cat (She licked Bonzai's head a few seconds after I snapped this), books and the hubs!
So yeah. I will be right here, drinking vanilla Coke and trying to write something brilliant, if you need anything. And missing my cats, who I'm sure are currently wondering a) why their kitty litter hasn't been cleaned today, b) why I'm not petting them, and c) oh yeah, where is that tall blond cat with the opposable thumbs anyway?
what all are you guys doing this weekend?
I realize it's only Wednesday, but I need to begin planning now for my own sanity. MJ and I are both having one hell of a long week. I'm thinking about hitting up the local Cinema 'n Drafthouse (which serves up alcoholic beverages and tasty chow along with your $5 movie), although nothing looks that spectacular... there's Cop Out, She's Out Of My League, or The Green Zone to choose from. Maybe some golf or a mountain bike trip? And of course, because there's always something to do around the house... we'll be slaying some poison ivy in the backyard and preparing the guest room for painting!

Z is for the Zone
Posted by
Blogger ate my first Z post. Ghaa! Like it wasn't hard enough to write a post about Z! I didn't even know that could happen... Blogger is always so nice abut saving my drafts for me automatically, I never thought a post could just disappear. Oh well, live and learn!
As a runner, I chase the elusive runner's high, or the zone. This is when running feels GREAT and you never want to stop.
The runner's high happens once in a blue moon, oftentimes, but the feeling of euphoria is great when it happens. It also seems uncontrollable -- there are no set predictors for the runner's high, although a good night's sleep and proper hydration seem like musts to even have a chance at it!
I think the writing zone is the same way. There are things you can do to prepare and give yourself a better chance of falling into a zone where you write and write and write effortlessly, but there's no guarantee it's going to happen. Some days, you're just working away, forcing your legs to go as you run up and down hills, and some days you're just working away, forcing your fingers to move over the keyboard and your brain to give you something, anything.
But luckily, no one runs for the runner's high. It's just a nice thing that happens sometimes. And no one writes for the zone.

Infant social Developmental milestones
On this page and in the linked articles you'll find infant milestones of (head control, rolling...); (social smiles, copying...); (oh, these are MY hands) and (listening, babbling...)
They're not week by week, as the speed in which babies learn varies greatly from infant to infant. These milestones give an idea of how babies learn and reach them and what you could do to support them without pushing them.
Please remember, it doesn't matter if a child reaches milestones like those earlier or later. They'll all do reach them in their own time. Sometimes it may seem as if they're not moving forward at all. But they're learning at those times as well. It's just that you can't see the results of that learning yet. At other times, when the pieces of that puzzle learning suddenly match, they'll seem to jump forward.
So just gently offer your baby a variety of experiences, relax and enjoy.
Learn about normal physical development and how you can foster that in your infant. Developmental milestones of this age include: holding and lifting his head and his upper body, sitting and rolling.
Your baby begins to gain control over his body starting at his head, continuing with shoulders, upper and lower back, hips, legs knees and ankles. He'll train his coordination by kicking, exploring hands and feet and trying to grasp things. Your baby will be on his way towards crawling but by 6 months probably not crawling just yet, He can hold his own weight when held in a standing position and might enjoy jumping but he can't yet stand by himself.
Before our baby starts learning your language she'll make sounds or cry in different ways to communicate her needs. Learning this baby language can help you to settle her better and help her to get ready to learn your language.
When your baby has settled into your home she'll listen more and more to the sounds around her. She'll be especially interested in soft voices and attention from adults. A Little later she'll start socializing making sounds and experimenting with them cooing and babbling. Some of the first sounds she'll explore will be aaa, ooo, and k, p, b, m.
You can encourage her talking by initiating lots of conversations (taking turns making sounds) and talking to her.Return to top
Your Infant's Emotional and Social Development
Infant Milestones
Social and emotional development are very intertwined. The more secure a child feels, the more he's able to come into social contact with other people. The less his basic needs are met, the more he'll be focussed on getting those basic needs met first.
According to Erik Erikson the emotional development of the first 1-2 years of a baby's life are all about developing attachment and a basic trust. If a child's basic needs are met, he develops a basic optimism, if not he becomes more insecure and mistrustful later on as well.
So it is important that your child can develop a close relationship with one or more adults or older children. This relationship is strengthened through the time spend together in play, communication and routines of physical care. If bonding is disrupted repeatedly (for example due to a high staff turnover at his child care centre) his ability to establish relationships in later childhood can be disturbed.

John and Susan started Ashley Interiors in 1984 and their first store opened in Brockville in 1986.
John and Susan's philosophy from the very beginning was to get the job done right the first time, on time and within budget. They have always struggled with the perception that they are expensive, but actually, they win 90 per cent of the jobs they bid on, both residential and commercial. Clients are always surprised by this and while Ashley Interiors doesn't try to be the cheapest price, they remain competitive because they can do the job with fewer materials or in less time or both.
At Ashley Interiors, it's not just about the right product mix. It's about the skills and creativity to decide the best solutions for the problem.
Ashley Interiors carries many of the standard products that their competitors have, but because they have more of a design element to their business, they tend to have many more exclusive lines and unusual products. For example, everyone carries some kind of bamboo, but at Ashley Interiors, they have bamboo in 77 colours!
Ashley Interiors is always on top of the latest trends. They know what the newest products are and what new unusual treatments have been used. They attend a lot of workshops as well as trade shows and conferences. Since February 2007, Susan and her staff have been at international design shows in Washington D.C, Atlanta, Toronto and Montreal,
Come in, bring your design dilemmas and share their excitement for decorating!

Sunday afternoon, India, Eloise and I went on a spontaneous photo shoot at Queen's Park. The sun was shining, I had perfect models and the addition of flower wreaths made everything all the better.
Camera and I were pretty happy by the end. And I was rather pleased with the results of some photos India captured of me. :)
All in all, not a bad afternoon of photography...have a favourite?

Nepal- Impressions
Here are some of my favourite photos from the trip- temples, prayer wheels, rickshaws, lakes, skies, boats, and above all, lots of colour. (Also I couldn't not put one in of an outfit, this is probably the only bloggable one of the entire holiday, the rest of the time I was dressed like a scruffy child. The skirt I borrowed from a friend at work! Sadly I sat on those peach sunglasses..)
We did a little sightseeing when we first got to Kathmandu- visiting a few temples, marvelling at the flags (and the monkeys), before getting the bus to Pokhara (which is by the lake). From there we set off for a five day trek, which was exhausting, to say the least. The first three days in particular involved a lot of climbing uphill in the heat and more than once I did wonder why on earth we'd paid good money to put ourselves through such pain and misery. But hey ho, we made it, and were rewarded with stunning scenery, sunsets and sunrises, lots of tea, good company and maybe more toned limbs...? We then spent the rest of the trip relaxing in Pokhara by the lake, discovering the bazaar and the Peace Pagoda (underwhelming).
We returned to Kathmandu to haggle and buy up half the gift shops -scarves, rings, boxes, earrings and even a few hand made Christmas decorations. Now it's back to reality (and the cold), but at least the festive season isn't too far away.
Maybe more photos to come..

Hey guys!
I didn't expect to want to write a post about this because in previous years, the Priceline Skincare sale has been something I've willingly missed out on. In the last couple of months, I've really stepped up my skincare game (I even have a skincare routine post!) and I went a little bit wild during the sale. I knew exactly what I wanted to pick up and I basically picked up everything that I set out to buy and more (doesn't it always go that way?) and now I'm here talking about it with you! I hope that you enjoy! Also I'd love to see what you purchased if you got anything during the sale 🙂
I picked up quite a few things. I almost have a completely new skin care routine out of these new products haha. I was really keen to get my hands on some more of the Swisse skincare range after picking up the Manuka Honey mask. I also was looking for a spot treatment because I think my LUSH Grease Lightning is probably due to be thrown away by now. Anyway, let's get into why I purchased each item and see how much I saved!
Swisse Hibiscus Anti-Aging Night Cream $
24.99 14.99
I really like my Burt's Bees Sensitive Night cream but it is possibly too light weight for a night cream, for me. I like to have something really sitting on my face and slowly soaking in over night so my skin is really hydrated and well nourished when I see it again in the morning. This night cream is much thicker than the Burt's Bees one although I didn't know that prior to purchasing. I really just wanted a basic routine from Swisse and this was the night cream I picked! It is good to get into anti-aging products early! I wanna look 20 my whole life.
You can purchase this product here!
Swisse Olive Leaf Gel Cleanser $
9.99 5.99
Again, I really like my Burt's Bees alternative to this product but I wanted something from the Swisse range. This product foams upon application, unlike the Burt's Bees one that I've been using over the last month. This cleanser makes the skin feel squeaky clean and I am so happy I picked it up. Especially for only $6.
You can purchase this product here!
Swisse Deep Sea Hydrating Mist Toner $
9.99 5.99
This is a cheaper alternative to my LUSH one and but it is made with different ingredients. This also doesn't have perfume in it so it is already more friendly to sensitive skin pals. I won't tell you that you are going to be free from a reaction to this because you may be allergic to the essential oils that go into this product but it is a much safer product for your skin than the LUSH one. I probably will still use both haha.
You can purchase this product here!
Swisse Micellar Makeup Remover $
10.99 6.59
I really wanted a micellar water or eye makeup remover because my mascara doesn't come off with my face wipes and of course, I wanted to try the Swisse one because it doesn't have any of the nasty stuff that other micellar waters have. This has a really nice smell as well so it is a really pleasant experience when you use this product. And it does take off my eye makeup really well without hurting my lashes.
You can purchase this product here!
Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Medicated Gel For Acne $
11.99 7.19
I watched someone's skincare routine the night before I did my shop because I wanted to plan things to purchase and I came across this product and I'd heard a lot of good things about it so I thought I'd just give it a go because I had a whopper of a blind pimple on my cheek this week and I just need it to go haha. I have a bad pimple popping habit and hopefully acne treatments like this will help me curb that habit.
You can purchase this product here!
T.N. Dickson's Witch Hazel Toner $
6.59 3.95
This product keeps popping up in the beauty groups on Facebook because it is such an inexpensive natural toner. This product has two ingredients but it can give people allergic reactions so I'm being brave and testing it. I heard that you should still use this with a regular toner so I'm going to use it with my spray toner waters. Witch Hazel is really good for a lot of things so I'm excited to see if this works out for me!
You can purchase this product here!
Simple Spotless Skin Rapid Action Spot Zapper $
9.99 5.99
Another spot treatment in case the other one doesn't agree with me. This was also recommended on one of the Facebook groups. It says that spots will reduce in as little as 4 hours, I doubt that but I thought it was worth giving it a go for the price.
You can purchase this product here!
Simple Cleansing Wipes Two Pack $
10.99 6.59
These wipes may not be the best for your skin but they remove my makeup the best out of the face wipes at Priceline, in my opinion. I like to use face wipes as my initial makeup removal step. I usually use it on my face and neck areas, avoiding my eyes because that's what I use the micellar water for. I'd recommend them over the cheaper ones that you can get at Priceline and over some of the more expensive ones, like the Burt's Bees ones.
You can purchase this product here!
Burt's Bees Ultra Conditioning Lip Balm $
6.99 4.19
No real reason for picking this up other than I wanted another lip balm haha. I love the Burt's Bees lip balms and I definitely think that they're worth the full price but at 40% off, it is hard to resist them! My lips have been pretty cracked lately because I caught a summer cold and then had continuous hay fever so I really wanted another lip balm that was going to help me get back to smooth, soft lips.
You can purchase this product here!
L'Oreal Skin Perfection Blur $
22.99 13.79
Now I wouldn't call this a skincare item because it is used as a pore filler, similar to Benefit's Porefessional so I use it as a primer, but I won't argue with it because I got 40% off this product. I love this product. I don't think I could live without it.
You can purchase this product here!
Beauty Essentials Cotton Pads Round 100 Pack $3.49
There was no sale on this product but I was running out of cotton rounds so I picked this one up!
You can purchase this product here!
128.99 78.75
I was able to save $50.24! I was able to pick up so much stuff for such a good price and I am SO excited to use everything and have the most beautiful skin ever hahaha.
I hope that you enjoyed reading what I picked up during the skincare sale. I hope that you found everything that you wanted to pick up!

Holland's longest tulip route can be found in the Noordoostpolder in Flevoland. Over 100km through nearly 2500 acres of colourful fields make this one of the world's most beautiful routes.Discover the longest tulip route in Holland
Windmills, wooden shoes and colourful fields filled with tulips. That is how Holland looks on a postcard. Spring in Holland is marked by flowers and flower bulbs. The most famous places are Keukenhof and the flower-bulb region but Flevoland is not as well-known even though it boasts Holland's longest and most colourful tulip route in the Noordoostpolder!One of the world's most beautiful routes!
With nearly 5,000 acres worth of red, yellow and purple flower-bulb fields, Flevoland is Holland's biggest flower-growing regions! The fields can be found in East and South Flevoland and, most importantly, the Noordoostpolder. Every year in spring, there is a spectacular 'Flower-bulb route' encompassing over 100km through nearly 2500 acres of flowering fields. The route has become the longest and most colourful route in Holland and even, according to National Geographic, one of the world's ultimate road trips!Noordoostpolder products
The Tulip Route is marked by signs so it makes for an easy drive. You will pass through many wonderful tulip fields and have the opportunity to enjoy countless activities. Pick your own tulips at the Tulip Picking Garden, for instance, and stop to discover products made in the Noordoostpolder at several farms. You can also admire several gorgeous farm gardens lush with spring bulbs, unique plants and lovely arbours.VVV tourist office maps
The Tulip Route is available annually from mid-April through May. Inquire at your local VVV tourist office for dates and a comprehensive route description.Cycle the garden route
Another wonderful idea is to explore the Noordoostpolder on a bicycle. We recommend the 'garden route', which is about 19km long. An excellent way to discover beautiful plants and flowering tulips. The following gardens are part of the route:
- De Stekkentuin. Noordermiddenweg 13, 8311 PZ, Espel
- De Tuinen van Lipke Schat. Polenweg 9, 8314 PL, Bant
- De Goldhoorn Gardens. Klutenweg 13, 8314 PB , Bant

The Peoria Journal Star sports article, "Its kind of a legacy" was laying on my Panera Cafe table this afternoon. I flipped through it as I sat down and realized I knew two of the girls on the paper's cover. Not only did I know them but I had photographed them in similar volleyball gear the summer before. I have the privilege every year to photograph some seriously talented students. Taylor and Shelby both seemed to overflow with energy and passion for their sport and I figured I would be hearing their names again soon. This year both of the girls are a second generation of ICC Cougar's Volleyball players. Its cool to see how family members truly shape the next generation and can inspire us all.
P.S. The Texas State ball Taylor is proudly holding is special, its her mom's.


text: This perfect little family is expecting! Tiffany is welcoming a little girl into this world – and had 3 perfect outfits to show off her bump. Greg and Aisley were both wonderful sports, even despite the ridiculous amounts of mosquitos that plagued Ojibway Park that evening. So glad to capture this special time for you all.

Running a business is a challenge. You have to keep track of inventories, employees, and payroll, among a billion other things.

Most people today turn to search engines to find new businesses when they need something, and most of them never look past the first page of their results. If you want one of these coveted spots online, you will have to employ a method of marketing known as search engine optimization, or SEO.

|Are you familiar with the works of Shan Yu?
Theodore Huang (Di Xin reborn)
Motivation: "The ruler must be greater in both mind and spirit than those he rules." I rule, therefore I am superior. But peons can be entertaining, in their own fashion.
Relationships: George Huang [Most respected father]; Tina Huang [I love you dear sister]; Hak Hoh Fa [My Kingdom]; The Jade Court [Am I supposed to afraid of moldering old corpses?]; The Zhou family [They make a good eggroll, but fighting should be left to men]
Description: There was once a young man named Kuan Zemin who came to America for his education, and eventually got a job working for Eczitech, a biotech company in Seattle. He got married to a Chinese-American woman and had a beautiful daughter named Mai, who was talented with a violin and a dedicated student. He lived in a nice House with a big yard and owned a Mercedes. Then the financial crisis hit. Fired from his job and facing a mountain of debts, Kuan came to the Hak Hoh Fa looking to parley his skill at mathematics into gambling winnings. He lost. Faced with harassment and the brutal beating of his wife while he was away looking for a new job, Kuan finally came to the club offering his daughter, 16 year old Mai, as payment for his debt. Theodore Huang was there to inspect the merchandise. "I see why you don't want her anymore," he said. "But how much are you planning on paying us to take her off your hands? I thought you already owed us a lot of money." Afraid of offending the volatile gangster, Kuan could say nothing in reply. Bored of this commoner, Theodore ordered Kuan into the arena, where he would pay his debt if he could defeat the gladiators within. The three ghouls in the arena tore him apart - but they took their time about it. Mai watched. Afterwards George took Mai until she amused him no longer, then left her to his men. The wife disappeared that night and hasn't been heard from since.
There are a lot of stories like that told about Theodore, and it isn't clear how many are true. They say that he cuts the tongues out of his women so that they will never tell anyone what he does to them in the bedroom. Supposedly he eats men's eyes to see what they have seen, and chews their fingers to take their strength. Rumors abound that he and his sister Tina are in an incestuous love-and-hate relationship. Some say that he has anyone who calls him "Ted" strangled with their own intestines.
None of this is said to his face, of course. He sees himself as a great leader and father to his men, and punishes anyone who disturbs that vision. Despite his extreme nature, his father's steady hand (and the stories of the family's growing control over the dark arts) means that the Huang family continues to grow and the Hak Hoh Fa continues to turn record profits. A bigger question is what will happen when his father dies, and "little Di Xin" assumes control of his criminal empire.
