Upon making this list, I realize that I watch way too much TV after my daughter goes to bed! LOL! Of course, she also likes to go swimming with her Daddy or watch her DVDs on the portable DVD player which enables me to watch too much TV even when she is awake!

SHAME ON ME!!!

10 Things You'd Bring on a Deserted Island

"10 Things You Bring on a Deserted Island"

1. MacGyver (he'll know how to make the best of everything we find on the island).

2. My husband.

3. My daughter.

4. Solar powered computer.

5. 2000 Gallons of sunblock (SPF 50+) that does not expire.

6. A fully staffed cruiseship.

7. A small boat to get back and forth to the cruiseship.

8. Some kind of wheelchair that would work on an island...hmmm...or maybe one of those cushy chairs that the Egyptian pharaohs were carried around in. Of course, I would need 4 strong cabana boys to carry me around. I'm going to have to give this one a little more thought. I'm not sure the cabana boys and my husband would get along well.

9. Matches. Lots and lots of matches.

10. A supply ship that would automatically bring food and water on the first of every month.

10 Favorite Things to Do During “Me” Time

10 Favorite Things to Do During "Me" Time

(Just what is "Me" time??? LOL!)

1. Take a long, hot shower (while sitting on my shower stool, of course) and listen to some relaxing music.

2. Watch a sappy chick flick in the dark with a bowl of popcorn on my lap and a box of tissues in reach.

3. Sleep!!! I like to turn my sound box on to the ocean setting, crank up the A/C, and curl up under my covers. Ahhh... a good nap sounds good right now!

4. Go online and price vacations that I'll never be able to afford.

5. Brainstorm about ways to come up with more "Me" time.

6. Shop online through Ebates.com and earn cash back for buying things that I had to buy anyway! They have the stores on there that I shop at anyway! (If you sign up using my e-mail address, both you and I get $5.00 for FREE you make your first purchase. End of commercial.)

7. Turn off the lights, turn on some soft, relaxing music, light my hydrangea scented candle, and just chill in my chair.

8. Cuddle with my sweetheart.

9. Cuddle with my baby girl.

10. Go to Disney World! (Hey, it's my "Me" time, right?!)

Ten On Tuesdays

10 Celebrities I'm tired of (in no particular order):

1. Angelina Jolie - she breaks up a marriage, marries the guy, adopts a bunch of kids (or should I say bought a bunch of kids), and our country applauds her. Good grief! (I should add here that I myself have adopted. I have nothing against adoption. I just feel that celebrities get a lot of breaks because they are rich. Plus, I think if you really want children, you should take the time to raise them yourself instead of hiring someone to do it for you. Just my personal opinion.)
2. Donald Trump
3. Octo-Mom (somebody stop this woman, PLEASE!!!)
4. Jon & Kate
5. That girl who The Bachelor changed his mind about and then she went on Dancing with the Stars and was getting all this sympathy. I mean, BOO-HOO! Seriously! Do you really think that's the way to find true love in the first place? And why is everybody feeling so sorry for her?
6. Adam Lambert
7. Miley Cyrus - not exactly the role model I want for my daughter!!!
8. Sarah Jessica Parker
9. Michael Jackson
10. Paris Hilton

So, I don't really watch the TV shows that these people are on. I just get really sick of hearing their names constantly. I realize that this post seems very judgmental. Sorry if I offend anyone.
