Too funny not to share....
*** Adult Truths *** 1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. 2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. 3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.. 4. There is great need for a…

Baggy Tee Turned into Cute Top
So lastnight at Zumba we had a little Christmas party...dancing to Latin Christmas music and having a good time as usual. After class our instructor gave us all Zumba T-Shirts for Christmas. They were labelled 'one size fits all' but I believe they are about the size of a Large-XL adult tee. Everyone in the class was…

Seared Tuna with Wasabi Green Beans
I saw this in my husband's "Men's Fitness" magazine the other day and it sounds soooo good! I am going to try it. It is very lean at only 166cal per serving so you could even add some brown rice to the meal and it would still be low cal. I will add my 'review' of the meal, to this thread, after I have tried it. *crossing…

Why Why Why?
Why, Why, Why? Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are almost dead? Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they already know there is not enough money?
