Sucker!!

I'm such a sucker for a deal. I'd like to think that I'm saving money, but we all know the truth there! Yesterday I bought the groupon for Michigan door to door organics. Door to door delivers organic and local produce/veggies. They even have organic recipes on their website and additional groceries in their market you can add to your order!

My friends and co-workers who use door to door rave about it, so I'm pretty pumped to get my delivery. In my box I should expect: yams, leaf lettuce, carrots bunch, cucumber, yellow or green summer squash, strawberries, braeburn apples, d'anjou pears and bananas! I realize that this is a lot of fruits and veggies for just one girl, but maybe I'll just have you over to help me consume all of it!

Snow-tastic.

As I brushed the snow off my winter coat this morning, I couldn't help but laugh. Living in Michigan always keeps us on our toes on what the weather will be like...but come on! Snow? Really? And not even the little flurries that fell from the sky yesterday that I decided to ignore and act like I didn't see. But snow that is actually accumulating on the ground! Sigh. The weather peeps say that the snow will melt tomorrow, or sometime soon. Until then...bundle up!

More stuff

Like I need more stuff...but look how beautious this post-it/calendar from Poketo is:

Must...resist...the temptation!

My Shameless Plug

Romel and I are hitting the trails in Brighton on June 11 for the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure. We are gathering donations and cycling 25 miles to help stop diabetes! With the monies raised, the American Diabetes Association will be able to provide community-based education programs, protect the rights of people with diabetes and fund critical research for a cure.

Just a little background on diabetes -- diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. There are 23.6 million Americans living with diabetes (including my mom with type 2), a disease that is outpacing heart disease, cancer and AIDS. And if we don’t act now, one in three children born in the year 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime.

To support me and the cause, you can visit my Web Page, to make a secure, 100% tax deductible donation. Go on...visit, donate...no need to be shy :)

Living for Today

Earlier this week, my friend laid her father to rest. It was sudden and heartbreaking. And if this past week has taught me anything, it has reminded me to cherish the moments in today. Because today is a blessing and the moments of tomorrow are no guarantee.

Thinking and praying for you and your family, MKaye.

No cupcakes for kiddies

My brother in law, Romel, told my niece and nephew that they could NOT have a cupcake because they were not behaving.

Tanith told him that 'her feelings were hurt'.

Kieran decided to express his feelings towards Romel on paper:



hilarious.

happy friday, all.

Academy Awards

Kim and I went to the Detroit Film Theatre last weekend to see the Oscar nominated short films. I didn't watch the Oscars on Sunday, but did record it so I could fast forward through it! I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but I was curious to find out who won the Oscar for animated and live action short film. The Oscar went to..."God of Love" and "The Lost Thing"! You must watch these if you get a chance, or any of the Oscar nominated films for that matter.

Here's a Wall Street Journal interview with Luke Matheny, writer, director and star of "God of Love". Hilarious.
