I love these costumes! This photo is from last Thanksgiving. Let's hope these men and women will be celebrating the holidays at home this year.

Another Red Friday is upon us. Remember to wear something RED today to show support for our military men and women. In this DOD photo, U.S. Army soldiers conduct a dismounted patrol in a village near Forward Operating Base Blessing, Afghanistan, last month. The soldiers are assigned to the 4th Infantry Division's Company A, 2nd Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team.

I found this fantastic video, produced by The Warrior Song Project and decided today was the perfect time to share it. The song is available thru iTunes at a cost of .99 cents. All profits go to the Armed Forces Relief Trust. Spread the word.
Happy Veterans Day
What was your wedding cake like? Was it exactly what you envisioned? Was it disappointing? Or worse... a disaster! My mom was a master cake decorator and she was called in at the last minute many many times to fix horrible wedding cakes. So when my niece showed me this website it was like deja vu; I've seen disasters like this before! I thought a visit to Cake Wrecks might just start your week with a laugh. Enjoy!
Everyone I know seems to be struggling with low energy. Don't know if its the time change, the long rainy summer, financial stress, the impending holidays, the H1N1 scare or a combination of all of these - but folks seem to be slogging through their days with sacks of wet cement tied to their feet. I don't think it's a local thing, either. The internet is full of advice on how to overcome the Blah Beast. Most of those articles are so cumbersome I quit reading half way through. But iVillage posted this little piece that seems uncluttered and actually helpful - 5 Steps to Boost Your Energy. Let me know if it makes a difference in your week!
