NOTHING SUBSTANTIAL, JUST AN OPINION

I just was watching morning television while waiting for a call from the sub center, and decided to comment on the style of female television journalists and commentators.

One journalist with an exceptional person style is Rene Syler. She makes curly hair look GOOD!



While Oprah Winfrey can be more than a little over-the-top, she has been a major influence on the full-figured women.



In Cleveland, lately, the newscasters have been doing the lingerie under the suit look, complete with boobies on display in the AM. At the most modest, it looks like this:



Which is still more skin than I want to see in the AM.

WARNING! - PUT DOWN THE COFFEE BEFORE CLICKING

You've been warned! Don't click here before putting down the hot coffee. I won't be responsible for the mess, pain, and coffee stains on silk.

You'll see that ArmyWifeToddlerMom has been added to the Blogroll. That post about the Ninja Toddler would have qualified it for the list by itself.

A very influential book I read a few years ago is "Your Money or Your Life". There's a Web Site that helps people detach from the over-consumption that plagues our society. There is a study program, and many free resources on the site.

Why so GOOOOD?

1. My asthma meds have kicked in, and I can breathe.
   
2. I've been organizing, and I'm about 1/2-way through the urgent paperwork backlog.
   
3. Even though I'm bloated from the steroids, I still lost weight.
   
4. The weather is FABULOUS! Last month's snows have been followed by several weeks of rain, but today is dry and the garden is BLOOMING!

Despite some setbacks, I've managed to maintain a positive attitude (in great part thanks to the FlyLady web site. The emails are appreciated, even on the occasional day when I just delete it. I've learned, like Scarlett O'Hara, tomorrow is another day. And, if I make the effort to focus on the basics, and gradually dig my way out, I can lick the Housework Monster.
