tttttthat's all folks!  My eyes are red and will need the clear eyes I reviewed, everything stacked on my desk and all my notes for at least three months of reviews have been cleaned out and my fingers are cramping . . .  but the contest is finally over . . . a grand total of 77 reviews in three days.  Good luck to all my competition and hope that all of our hard work paid off! 

If you are already shopping for Christmas then you are a much better organized person than "I AM!"  Consider these stocking stuffer ideas that my children age 21-3 love, health and beauty products like Lip Smackers gloss; Travel games like those made by Milton Bradley and Hasbro (Trouble, Connect Four); hand held games and mini dolls like Polly Pocket. 

"By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer's best of weather
And autumn's best of cheer."
- Helen Hunt Jackson, September, 1830-1885

Letter to My Dad on Father's Day
For all the lesson learned, overtime worked, and beautiful memories made, thank you. Now I truly understand why and how you did what you did, as I try to raise daughters of my own. With age does come wisdom, and understanding.

Dear friend's Happy Happy St. Patrick's Day!  I am OOT and there is NO internet access here and gosh, it's San Antonio you would think a resort would have wireless. Anyway after spending several hours fighting with dial up I throw in the towel and send y'all the greenest of greetings but if this is DIAL UP I don't have the patience for it and will be back to add some reviews either when I am more patient or home whichever comes first.  Since I usually pray for patience and end the pray with "and give it to me right now!" it may be some time before I log back on again.  Did I mention the hour it took to set up dial up? Or the adventure finding a Walmart to buy the cord? Or the fact that the password that was assigned didn't work?  My ability to concentrate is truly gone . . .

 Have a great day! Mine can only get better.
