I'm dreaming of a succulent fruit of the sea crepe. What could be more delicious this New Years Eve?

Imagine a flute of bubbly with an exquisite first course of thin French crepes filled with Gulf Coast Shrimp, Scallops and Stone Crab, accompanied by an indulgent drizzle of Saffron Beur Blanc.

Now I simply need the perfect partner...

What is with the sense of entitlement, I wondered. Isn't that something one outgrows, one matures out of? I suppose some people never do. I suppose some people ALWAYS expect things from others, as they did when they were young children regardless of how old they get or who they are with.

So what do you do when you encounter such a soul? Do you say something or do you simply accept the person for who he or she is?

Should we or shouldn't we take diet pills?

Side effects? Health issues? But are they safe? These are concerns that I have always had about popping diet pills.

At times I've rationalized ... but are the consequences of being overweight more unsafe?

It's time to start all over again. I suppose we all are given some cross to bear. For some of us, that cross might have to do with dieting and weightloss. I know that this is the case with me.

Dieting and maintaining an agreeable size is an ongoing challenge and certainly the biggest battle I face.

If I could just keep tight-lipped! But I simply love to eat! I love to cook!

One strategy for losing and/or maintaining a healthy and sexy weight is scrapbooking! it is true, when we take the time to scrapbook our lives, we find more of an incentive to want to look our absolute best. Pictures don't lie and when we have more weight than we should, the pictures reflect this and usually in an unflattering way. Have you ever noticed how someone who you nbever considered fat... looks fat in a camera lens?

There is really no excuse for putting on weight, at least no truly acceptable excuse.

With so many healthy alternatives readily available, how is it we can get so fat?

Do we simply not care? And if we don't care... what has happened in our lives to make us not care about taking care of ourselves? Shouldn't taking GOOD CARE OF OURSELVES be our first priority?

Every business owner should have an exit strategy. Even if you are not planning to retire for 10, 15, 20 or more years- it just makes good sense to have a good sound strategy.

So many times, business owners are so wrapped up in the every day details that long range plans are put on a back burner. Before you know it, the revenue has all been eaten up in the cost of doing business, taxes and payroll.

My dad, a sharp business man always said, "Pay Yourself First!"

To be honest, I never really understood what he meant until one day I realized that for everything I had worked so hard for, I had very little to show. Oh sure I had more equipment, supplies, and more STUFF than I would ever need... but I didn't have any real financial security because I had failed to understand the true essence of paying yourself first.

I was at a party on Thanksgiving night and one of the guests was telling me about a detox diet.

Everyday for a week the dieter is suppose to drink a concoction of water, lemon juice and cayenne.

I've often done this first thing in the morning as a good flush, but had never thought about doing it all week long.

Perhaps I shall give it a shot. It is suppose to flush away all the cravings and dependence on things like sugar, to which I have become terribly addicted.

The coincidence of the first day of the month falling on a Monday makes for a great starting point to embark on a diet.

Sure, anytime is a great time to go on a diet if you are in need of losing a few pounds... but to my way of thinking there is something very special about embarking on a weightloss journey when the first falls on a Monday.

Today, Monday December 1, 2008 is a perfect day for such an adventure! Leptorexin
