This photo opp costs New York State taxpayers a whopping $328,835. A nice chunk of change if you ask me. By the way, the White House aide that is responsible for this photo, resigned. Hmmm, I wonder why. *Photo Credit: MSNBC … [Read more...]

We went to the circus about two weeks ago and we had a ball. The kids are still talking about it. I had fun but I felt bad for some of the animals, especially for the elephants. I hope they start taking good care of their animals because without them, there is no circus. Anyway, here are some pictures for today's Wordless Wednesday. Enjoy! A big thanks to Mom Central for providing me with the code "Mom" for a great discount of $15 each ticket. … [Read more...]

I recently had a wonderful opportunity to join other mom bloggers and some very important people for the "Spot A Mom movement." The movement was created by 1-800-Flowers.com to honor all the moms in our lives. From our grandmothers, our moms, our aunts, to our sisters, our friends and beyond. The event was held in the penthouse at the Buckingham Hotel on 57th St. where the world-renowned Opera Singer Giovanni Martinelli once lived. First of all, the hotel is absolutely … [Read more...]

Woman shot by arrow in NYC.
March 20, 2009 by 1 Comment
Can you believe it? I was shocked when I heard the news on TV. This happened in the Riverdale section of the Bronx yesterday. It appeared to be an accident. The 27 year old man that was arrested said he shot an arrow into the white fence in his backyard (he uses arrows for target practice) but when it went through the fence, it ricocheted up and that's when the woman got shot in the stomach (OUCH!). At first, she thought a baseball bat that slammed into her. Poor lady was just … [Read more...]
Just in case you didn’t know..

What a crappy day it has been! I've been exhausted all day long. My husband has been feeling the same way too. For some reason, losing that "extra" hour is like losing your strength, in my opinion. Yea, it's nice that you get more daylight throughout the day but you feel like sh*t too. As I was browsing thru the web, I found some interesting facts about Daylight Saving Time. I learned that the incorrect way to say it is, "Daylight Savings Time". I never knew that. There is no "s" … [Read more...]

The city that never sleeps.
February 11, 2009 by 6 Comments
The City That Never Sleeps is now called the most expensive city in the US. Isn't that crazy? They say you need to have a six digit income to make middle-class. I couldn't believe it. We definitely don't have that kind of income in my house. I guess we're not considered middle-class anymore. We're more like poor! Check out the full article and see for yourself. … [Read more...]
Awesome Video of Plane Crash on the Hudson
January 23, 2009 by 1 Comment
This video is long but if you fast forward to 2:00 minutes, you can see the plane "land" on the Hudson River. About 3 minutes later, you can see a boat coming to their rescue. Now that is what I call fast response. Truly Amazing! … [Read more...]
