So I have a confession. This whole extreme couponing adventure really makes me happy. This week, I’ve been putting this whole couponing thing to a test. Can I really get a whole bunch of stuff for practically nothing? Apparently, I can. Armed with the current Rite Aid flyer, coupons from the Sunday’s newspaper, and my Wellness…
1. I rarely talk politics, because when I left the Republican Party, I really left politics (for the record, I’m middle of the road, I am not a Republican/Democrat/Independent, I look at both sides of the argument and decipher the middle ground). When I saw my old boss’ name pop up in US News, I…
This week, I’ve been doing something a little different on Twitter. I’ve been posting up my outfits of the day as a steal versus splurge. I have a new spring/summer wardrobe. I’ve been sharing with the Twitter community my finds, because as a reporter from Florida asked me…is it hard keeping up with the latest…
I’m going to share with you the music and movies that have captured my attention. First off is a remake of a great 80s song. This comes from Emily Browning (aka Babydoll) from the film Sucker Punch. The movie SUCKED, but the soundtrack ROCKED. Enjoy. [vodpod id=Groupvideo.9147736&w=450&h=325&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26] Sucker Punch – Soundtrack Sweet Dreams Follow my…
I’ve had a lot of luck lately…luck in the $$$ $ense. It’s brimming over the edges so much that my co-worker started getting some similar luck of her own (every lotto ticket is a winner? You better believe it.). We could say it was the luck of the Irish rubbing off…and it was only the beginning. I always…
Since the Devils season ended, I’ve been forced by both jobs to take a much needed break. I’m not allowed to clock out after 5:30PM. I need to clock out at 5:30PM. No more staying late in the office. No more hockey writing until the playoff season is over (unless I’m needed in Rangersville). Perhaps this…
Since the season is over and I can take a little breather until the off-season ends (unless I have to hit Rangers territory), I usually spend my time reading up on other important things…like what to do when I’m in London…what’s the cheapest, most efficient way to get around, where to go, and what events I…
It’s the springtime, which means that my off-season is right around the corner. While my friends are rejoicing that my schedule is now freeing up, we still have activities to plan! What helps in this economy are severely discounted tickets. What also goes hand in hand is dressing the part. So…here are the top deals…
If you follow me on Twitter, you may have noticed some odd tweets to the Universe. As in the…”Dear Universe…you’re messing with me. Stop.” This morning, I relayed onto my friend all of the events that occurred yesterday and she just looked at me like…”Whoa, that is really deep.” So I’m going to share with…
She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace…
Remember that song, “Killing Me Softly?” Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song That is the power of a voice. That is the power to…

Easton will be selecting three people to be ambassadors for the sport that they each love. The selected group will travel the U.S. and Canada, attend sporting events and…
As I’ve been contemplating a lot of things these past few weeks, nothing makes you stop in your tracks like finding out that an icon has passed away. Elizabeth Taylor. Her violet eyes, her sex kitten ways, her marriages, her divorces, her diamonds, and her legendary walk through the hearts of many…she is the embodiment of…
Over the weekend, I watched one of my favorite movies, “The Devil Wears Prada.” Each time I watch it, I learn a new lesson in life. The lesson this weekend comes in the wake of the disaster in Japan. After watching the devastation sweep away entire towns, and the threat of a nuclear disaster, you…
When I first moved to New York, I befriended a lot of people in my office. Some, I hung out with every other weekend, traveled all over the place with, and shared a lot of those innermost secrets like friends are supposed to do. A couple of the big bosses said to me, “You think…
As a take off from last month’s self-discovery at the spa, this month will focus completely on BEAUTY…and finding happiness in beauty. Beauty comes in various forms, from objects of desire, to nature, to a beautiful moment…beauty is everywhere. But here, we’ll be getting into the deeper beauty. I wrote a post last night, but…
It’s the day after the Trade Deadline. Here are my ponderings… 1. Jason Arnott. Ever since Arnott said he wanted out back in December, we’ve watched his ice time grow less and less and less. He was taken off of the most productive line (with Patrik Elias) and left to dwindle into oblivion. That turnaround…
I’ve been avoiding talking about the Devils on this blog this year for a couple of reasons. 1) I wanted to focus mainly on the book project and the happiness project; and 2) the Devils weren’t winning and that didn’t jive with the happiness project. But now that they are on an 8 game win streak, most…
There are four days left in the love is happiness adventure, so this may be the last post on LOVE for the month. Today, I’m going to talk about something I was taught last night at the Meditation Center. Since the sister I’ve been working with is at the ashram in India for the next few weeks, I…
10 pounds down, another 60 to go. The ironic thing about this year is that I’m doing things different than I did last year…and it’s working. It can be tiresome to be at a plateau for a year and nothing works. Losing weight is never easy. Everyone has their own issues with ‘how’ they gained…
