March 5, 2013 NOTHING is better than reading with your child before bedtime. We do it every night. Sometimes, it's the same book 5 days in a row because he loves it and laughs each time you get to a certain part.
And sometimes, it's a classic!
March 4, 2013 When Ali Clair of China was in the office recently talking about being the new Miss Maine USA, I learned that in this contest the contestants do not pick their platform, but the overall Miss USA Pageant has its charitable alliances with organizations dedicated to raising awareness for breast and ovarian cancer. Whether it’s encouraging women to get a mammogram or advocating for more ovarian cancer research in D.C., Miss USA is committed to fighting for every woman who is battling breast or ovarian cancer.

Kid: "Mom, can I have a puppy?"
Mom: "Go ask you father."

February 26, 2013 I am a creature of habit. I wake up, get ready for work, work, then the gym and then I stop by Walgreens after the gym and pick up my Diet Arizona Green Tea. One day, the radio station's traffic manager, Sharon Griffith, asked my if she could have my empty Diet Arizona Green Tea can. I said sure and asked what she wanted with the empty can.

February 26, 2013 It is no big secret that my interests are best described as eclectic. My tastes in just about everything are all over the place. So, while in the Army-Navy store in Belfast, I was beside-myself happy with this little discovery. It is an Army Survival Manual! The date on the front is 1970, but inside it is dated from 1957. It is a great read and some very cool skills.
