Important Margarita Health Issue

this info has recently been brought to my attention (just in time for Cinco de Mayo -thanks Deb!) ...thought a few of you might also benefit from this. I understand that you can get this treatment at several local places -without a prescription, if you know who to ask.

Important women's health issue: Do you have feelings of inadequacy? Do you suffer from shyness? Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive? If you answered yes to any of these questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist (or bartender?!) about Margaritas. Margaritas are the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident about yourself and your actions. Margaritas can help ease you out of your shyness and let you tell the world that you're ready and willing to do just about anything. You will notice the benefits of Margaritas almost immediately and with a regimen of regular doses you can overcome any obstacles that prevent you from living the life you want to live. Shyness and awkwardness will be a thing of the past and you will discover many talents you never knew you had. Stop hiding and start living, with Margaritas.
Margaritas may not be right for everyone. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use Margaritas. However, women who wouldn't mind nursing or becoming pregnant are encouraged to try it. Side effects may include: dizziness, nausea, vomiting, incarceration, erotic lustfulness, loss of motor control, loss of clothing, loss of money, loss of virginity, attraction to the same sex, table dancing, headache, dehydration, dry mouth, and a desire to sing Karaoke.

Seriously... it's ridiculous.

As of today, prices up here on the northcoast are $3.66 a gallon for reg. unleaded at Costco and a whopping $3.79 a gallon for reg. unleaded at the 76 station... GAAH! talk about depressing.

Found these babies whilst strolling the aisles of my local Walgreen's the other day. Being the adventurous chick that I am, I tried 'em out because, you know, I like to walk on the wild side every now and then...
















They're pretty yummy -taste like a chocolate covered cherry -only without that cloying overly sweet/rich taste and without all the gooey gunk inside. I gotta say though, I think the peanut butter M&M's are still my fave!

How's this for irony?

I'm gonna go buy this book so I can learn how to get rid of stuff! LOL!

I know I've mentioned several times over the past few months how I've been trying to purge mountains of stuff that has taken over our house. Crap that we've moved with us from house to house as well as all the stuff that we're bogged down with since we sold my folks' house and moved my Pop up here with us.

Last year, I read an article Peter Walsh wrote in Woman's Day magazine, titled Mind Over Matter (July 10, 2007) and it hit home for me like no other 'get organized' article I've ever read. He talked about the 'stuff epidemic' and how "we live in a culture that tells us, 'You are what you own'." "As soon as those items become more important than living a fulfilling life, we no longer own our possessions. They own us."

After I read this article I was so motivated I could hardly wait to get started on cleaning and organizing. Something that really resonated with me were these three questions to ask myself when I'm trying to declutter/purge:
*What do I want from this room?
*What feeling do I want when I walk into this space?
*What kind of life do I want to live in this house?
these questions have helped me see beyond the emotional stuff and focus on what I want my end result to be.

There is so much good stuff in this article I actually saved it so I could refer back to it because it just makes so much sense. There are tips on downsizing, an outline for a 'plan of action' as well as some eye opening philosophies on why we hang onto things as well as reasons to let the stuff go. Seriously, a great article.

Pssst! Does this clutter make my butt look fat? LOL! Gotta love the title of his latest book, don't ya? I never really thought about it until I saw this book but there are definitely some interesting parallels between overindulging/overeating and hoarding/collecting clutter. Not sure I'm ready to delve into this one just yet, but I find the psychology behind all of this fascinating.
