Hey guys!  I need some input from you all.  July is fast approaching and I'm completely at a loss with a giveaway prize for the For the Luck of Liberty Giveaway Hop that will run from July 2-8.  There doesn't have to be a theme but, it would be nice to have one.  So that's where you guys come in.  What would you all like to see as the giveaway prize? It really doesn't have to be theme oriented; I just want to see what kinds of prizes you would like a shot at winning!

SOME MUCH NEEDED OPINIONS PLEASE :)

I would absolutely LOVE some opinions from you, my lovely readers!  I have several reviews and giveaways coming up but, of course, I would like to have tons more.  That's where you come in :)  I would love your ideas on what you would like to see me review and/or giveaway.  I'm kinda stuck in the review department and since I haven't been blogging for even 6 months; I don't have sponsors beating down my door...yet.  Up coming reviews/giveaways (within the next week) are going to be for jewelry, under garment wear, bath and body, and hair.  Have you guys been pleased, so far, with the reviews and giveaways?  I sure hope so.  I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas!

I love this saying and will keep telling this to myself, OVER and OVER again!

Have a fabulous week!

Every night, I love to watch The Golden Girls.  I watched this show, when I was  little girl, with my mom and occasionally my granny.  They would laugh and laugh and I just sat there not understanding why they were laughing so much.... I can say that I enjoy it a lot more as an adult!  The characters were hilarious and I have yet to find another sitcom, now a days, that can make me laugh as much as these girls did.  I will continue to watch as long as they have reruns.

Married with Children...another favorite of mine!  I can watch reruns of this show, over and over again.  I love how these characters act towards each other.  The writer for this sitcom was genius when he came up with these characters!  I know a lot of you may not agree, but this show is one (along with The Golden Girls)  that I will always watch as long as they have reruns.

I really hate that more and more networks are turning to "reality" shows.  I will say that there are some that I do watch, but it seems like that's all there is anymore.  Just like movies, here lately, I've been seeing so many remakes that it's just getting ridiculous!  Leave the classics alone and come up with some new ideas.  Same thing with NBC, CBS, MTV, VHI ect... come up with something original because there is nothing original about reality t.v. anymore.

What are some of your favorite older t.v. shows?

Dear Diary: June 1st:
Just moved to Texas! Now this is a state that knows how to live!! Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. What a place! It is beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here.

June 14th:
Really heating up. Got to 100 today. Not a problem. Live in an Air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshipper.

June 30th:
Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today. Lots of cactus and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing the lawn for me. Another scorcher today, but I love it here.

July 10th:
The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least, it's kind of windy though. But getting used to the heat is taking longer than I expected.

July 15th:
Fell asleep by the community pool. (Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body). Missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson though. Got to respect the ole sun in a climate like this.

July 20th:
I missed Lomita (my cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning. By the time I got to the hot car at noon, Lomita had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag, then popped like a water balloon. The car now smells like Kibbles and ****s. I learned my lesson though. No more pets in this heat. Good ole Mr. Sun strikes again.

July 25th:
The wind sucks. It feels like a giant freaking blow dryer!! And it's hot as hell. The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and the AC repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to order parts.

July 30th:
Been sleeping outside on the patio for 3 nights now, $225,000 house and I can't even go inside. Lomita is the lucky one. Why did I ever come here?

Aug. 4th:
It's 115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to 85. I hate this stupid state.

Aug. 8th:
If another wise a** cracks, 'Hot enough for you today?' I'm going to strangle him. Damn heat. By the time I get to work, the radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like baked cat!!

Aug. 9th:
Tried to run some errands after work. Wore shorts, and when sat on the seats in the car, I thought my ass was on fire. My skin melted to the seat. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs and ass . . . Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried ass, and baked cat.

Aug 10th:
The weather report might as well be a da*n recording. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do **** for 2 damn months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this damn state? Water rationing will be next, so my $1700 worth of cactus will just dry up and blow over. Even the cactus can't live in this damn heat.

Aug. 14th:
Welcome to HELL! Temperature got to 115 today. Cactus are dead. Forgot to crack the window and blew the damn windshield out of the car. The installer came to fix it and guess what he asked me??? "Hot enough for you today?" My sister had to spend $1,500 to bail me out of jail. Freaking Texas. What kind of a sick demented idiot would want to live here?? Will write later to let you know how the trial goes.

A beautiful poem

I heard quite often “men don’t cry” Though no one ever told me why So when I fell and skinned a knee No one came to comfort me.And when some bully boy at schoolWould pull a prank so mean and cruelI’d quickly learn to turn and quip

“It doesn’t hurt”, and bite my lip.
