Hidden away in the bottom of the old chest was a golden timepiece that had been in the family for several generations.
With five sons, the challenge was about who would inherit this antique piece of jewelry.
Max did some deep thinking and arrived at the perfect solution. He would order a custom made
pocket watch for each of the son's. They would be exquisite replicas of the original from Switzerland.

Now wouldn't a winter-time trip to the Super Bowl make for some fun after the New Year?
This year by Super Bowl I should be down a big 1-o-o!!!!

Seasons of transition....
This year I've witnessed much transition in my extended family. From young people leaving the nest to enter college to my mother moving in with my brother and my stepmom moving into a swanky retirement village.
And now I too find myself in transition. Change is a good thing... it pulls us forward into the future and to becoming more and more the people we were created to be.

Dieting during the holiday may present a tough and difficult challenge, but with the help of a good program it is certainly not insurmountable. That is why I am glad to be on a doctor-approved weightloss program through Winner's Weightloss. By the New Year I should be down 100 pounds from my beginning weight.

"He is a huge fan of the New England Patriots and he has invited me to go to their next football game."
"Wow! That sounds like fun!"
"He said he has season Patriots tickets for two and wants me to be his guest all season."
"That is going to be alot of traveling. Just try to stay on your diet."
"Oh I know- tailgate fare can be a killer!"

"Oh I know- tailgate fare can be a killer!"
One of the first clues about a party arrive in the form of the invitations.
A big fan of creative invitations from way back, I think savvy hosts and hostesses that take the time to create one-of-a-kind invites are smart.
Afterall an invitation is the first introduction to a party. They set the tone. They suggest the degree of formality and fun. If done well, they will excite us by the possibilities that await us.

My Take On So Called Business Opps
Mention the words, business opportunity to me and I'll probably take off in the opposite direction faster than you can say, "millionaire".
Call me jaded if you want, but I just don't believe that most of these so called " business opportunities" are all that they are cracked up to be. I'm sure there might be some good opportunities out there, but I'm not aware of them.
Probably the best thing you'll get out of investing in a business opportunity is the education you'll pick up along the way. If you already are not able to see things for what they are... a good six months plugging away to make a cheerleading upline wealthy, will do the trick.

Do you have the need for audio racks?
Well if you are like the rest of us, there comes that defining moment when you realize that it is time to jump on the bandwagon and join the club.
But the big question that remains is where do I go to find the right sort of racks to best meet my needs. That is why I'm glad I discovered Stands and Mounts! Check 'em out. You'll be glad you did.

Cocooning or Traveling?
I vacillate between wanting to cocoon at home and wanting to taste the world. Traveling has always been a big passion of mine, but in recent years I've spent a big chunk of time cocooning right here in Tallahassee.
Now as my life evolves and new business opportunities open up, I am ready to extend my borders once again. That is why I like checking out sites like Condo Hotels

Dieting sure can be darn-right difficult! I've been struggling away at this for almost a year now and I've back-slidden more times than I'd like to admit.
I'm somewhere close to the 90 pound mark. I'd be long past it if I could just stay 100% focused on the goal. But the truth is real life gets in the way.
Stress enters the picture and noshing sure starts feeling ever so comforting.
Lori ought to set up a radar detector in my kitchen!

Prioritizing
This week I'll be getting ready to set up a small booth at an antique mall.
My plate is so full, it is hard to keep everything straight in my mind. Prioritizing helps.
If I can simply identify the most important tasks to complete first.
1. Complete this weeks blog assignments.
2. Price and box items going to the antique mall.
3. Start packing for the big move.
4. Follow up on all the loose ends.
5. Follow along on my calendar to make sure I don't overlook an appointment with everything going on.
6. Price out the wall sconces.

Don't Drink The Water!
"Don't drink the water!" He whispered as they eyed the passing pregnant woman. "That makes about the twentieth one we have seen today."
"Must have been a cold winter."
"Are you sure you wouldn't like to get pregnant?"
"At my age? Are you crazy? I do not want to have a baby."
"I don't know! I sort of get the feeling that you do."
"In your dreams, dear! Now lets just pick up the baby clothes for the shower and skadoodle out of this maternity palooza!"

An Impressive Trophy Collection
"Wow! You sure have the trophies !I've never seen such an impressive collection."
"Well, they all pale in comparison to the race marked out for me by the Lord."
"Sounds like you are committed to being at the top of your game in all areas of your life."
"I like being a high-achiever. But not for my glory- but for HIS!"

Not Applicable
As a single woman without children, I really don't see any real value in buying life insurance.
"Why spend the money on something like this? It's not applicable to my life."
On the other hand if I had a family, I'd be the first to sign up for term life insurance.

The Effects of Stress On A Diet
Why I think I could probably write volumes about the effects of stress on a diet. The biggest challenge I have faced before and during this diet is the varying degrees of stress in my life.
I don't know why I have let food be the crutch that has held me up during stressful times.
Even now, being totally conscious of what is happening, sometimes I can't help myself. I find there are times that I just want to plow into a hearty meal of comfort food.
I'll get a vision in my mind and I can't seem to shake it. What is up with this? I'm real close to the 90 pound mark and the 100 pound mark is just around the corner.
Yet, perhaps the most stressful days are approaching. Finding a new place to live, packing, hunting for land for sale or rent.

A Dream Life
Ever find yourself at a crossroads in life where you don't recognize the person you've become? The face in the mirror, isn't even a face you recognize....or the life you are living is so far removed from the life you once dreamed of for yourself?
You are not alone! Many of us discover that somewhere along the journey, we assumed a lifestyle that wasn't at all what we wanted.
Sure we might be decades into these mysterious lives. But we can still make the decision to refashion our future any way that we desire. We just need to decide to do it!
Let's live it up! For a bit of inspiration from someone who is living her dreams at an early age, why not get a set of Hannah Montana tickets.
