I Heart Coldplay

This is a really uniquely creative and adorable video for such a huge band, just another reason they are one of my favorites.

This is going to be so good ... for a sneak peek at some images go here

Under The Weather

I am currently under the weather, stricken down with not one but two kidney stones. The largest of the two is currently on the move and causing me lots of pain, nausea etc.

I am hoping and praying to pass this beast sometime this week; because after just one day of this stuff and I'm REALLY REALLY missing being healthy and happy.

Quakes

Mmm ... these are so yummy and actually fairly healthy too. I have been enjoying the cheddar and apple cinnamon flavors, but yesterday I discovered my new favorite after trying the chocolate.

Free Rice

I have been addicted to Free Rice lately, especially during bouts of boredom. If you have not checked this site out you really should for the following reasons ...

Education
You can educate yourself on everything from vocabulary, chemistry, geography, famous paintings, various languages etc.

Fun/Games
You actually have fun acquiring this free knowledge by playing games.

Helping Others
You are helping the United Nations World Food Program provide food (rice) to hungry people across the globe. How? The games are trivia style and for every answer you get right you earn 10 grains of rice plus all the rice you earn is donated to help feed those in need.

So, this website is a total win-win because you get to become smarter while having fun and helping other people worldwide. Also, if you love the site and want to support the cause then help spread the word by adding a link to your website or blog.

Nectarine Mint

I discovered this delicious new scent at Bath and Body Works a little while back ... it only comes in anti-bacterial stuff but would be the perfect soap for a kitchen sink.
