My sisters only daughter is an absolute ski nut.  I don’t mean water skiing either.  She loves snow skiing, snow boarding and anything that has to do with sliding around in the snow.  She’s always looking for ski deals.  Me personally, I don’t care for snow at all.  But this is one part of skiing that has totally surprised me.  She won’t go out skiing unless she has the latest fashions for skiing or snow boarding for the new season.

See all of this time I thought the main thing was not to break your leg or neck and stay warm.  Well not anymore it seems.  You also have to be in the latest fashions for that year too.  Personally I know absolutely nothing about what’s hot and what’s not in the latest and greatest ski apparel but I did learn a lot when I was searching for a graduation gift in the form of ski deals for her.  It’s absolutely amazing what you can learn about on the Internet.  Not to mention, who would have thought an old lady like me would be surfing the Internet for ski fashions for my niece either?  I would have never dreamed a couple years ago but I think I’m as addicted to the Internet as she is to skiing.

Okay, Okay, it all makes sense now… I never looked at it this way before but have you ever notice how it seems that all or at least most of a womens problems start with MEN?

Woman has Man in it;    Mrs. has Mr. in it;

Female has Male in it;    She has He in it;

Madam has Adam in it;

MENtal illness    MENstrual cramps

MENtal breakdown    MENopause

AND .. When we have REAL trouble, it’s a HISterectomy. To honor all of the ‘MEN’ here’s a picture of the husband of the year just to prove the ‘Man Trouble we tend to have:

The winner of the husband-n-wife of the year is ………. ‘Scotland’  Ya gotta love the Scottish.  The Scottish are true romantics. Look, he’s even holding her hand.  Looks like my kinda guy………..not!!!!

With a little one soon to be here, there is so very much to consider.  Safety is the first priority!  In my day, no one thought about the things they do today about child safety.  With the stairs that come from upstairs, child safety gates are a must.  Not to mention having baby gates installed at all of the places the baby does not need to be when it starts scooting around.  KidSafeInc.com has been one of the best resources for me as far as safety goes.

They not only will tell you all about safety, but also carry the products you are looking for like extra wide baby gates for wide openings, pressure gates for adjustable openings, pet gates and especially stairway gates. You just can’t be too careful, now can you?  Actually, I should have said, you have to be too careful when there’s a little one or even a pet around, don’t you think?

I woke up this morning and just felt like a mac truck had run over me.  Don’t you hate that?  I sure do.  I have a dull headache, body aches and tummy just doesn’t feel quite right either.  Man I sure hope I’m not coming down with anything.  Maybe it’s just all of this stinking rain that has me feeling all ‘blah’ all over.

Throughout my lifetime, traveling is one of the things I have enjoyed the most.  I have been to Ireland, England, Japan and many more places but the one place I have yet to go is Egypt.  That has been a life long dream.  Why haven’t I been there before now?  That’s a good question so I checked into Egypt holidays to remedy that.  I was surprised just how affordable it was.  I expected to find out is was more than I could afford right now but a holiday in egypt is very reasonable.

All of the trips I’m looking at depart from the UK but that’s okay too because I can visit a cousin I have that lives there.  I could spend a little time with her and then head off for one of many holidays as they say in England.  Now I just have to decide exactly where in Egypt I want to travel.  There are a lot of resorts to choose from like Marsa Alam, Sharm el Sheikh, Luxor, Taba, Hurghada and El Gouna.  Marsa Alam, El Gouna, and Hurghada are all part of the Red Sea Diving holiday package.  That sounds lovely to me except for I’m not much into diving.  Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada both are part of just the Red Sea Holiday.  That suits me better.  They have beautiful beached on the Red Sea plus many Red Sea hotels offering luxury spa and health treatments.  That’s what I’m looking for.  Nothing like taking a holiday and coming home feeling alive and refreshed.  I’ll have to give one of them a try.
