Aiming for a red carpet moment at prom

Guest post written by Lisa Cruise

It's so exciting to watch award show coverage and see all of these stars dressed up in their personal and professional best. I get that it's their jobs to look absolutely perfect because that's how people are going to remember them for like a year, but it's also nice to look at them and think wow it would be so much fun to get that dressed up too! Or at least that's what my daughter and I think when we see award shows red carpet specials. But we were watching this year for another reason, to get ideas for my daughter's prom dress and beauty look.

Especially for the Oscars we were looking at the red carpet coverage and then looking through pictures of the outfits later when we saw the website www.debtsettlementfamily.com. Once I looked through it a little bit I thought that it would be really helpful to figure out how to finally settle all of our family debt, so that's what we're going to try and do.

My daughter really loved Emma Stone's dress so we're going to see if we can find something similar. It looks very grown up and I hope we can find something like it instead of too-revealing dresses that I'm sure her classmates will be wearing.

The Start of Abundance

Magic is believing in yourself. If you can do that, you can make anything happen.
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (German writer, pictorial artist, biologist, theoretical physicist, and polymath.)

As Johann Wolfgang von Goethe has mentioned, the start of every journey full of abundance is to believe that you can do it. Believing is one of the crucial element in anything we are trying to do.

Try to think back to a moment when you were told you can't do something but you did it. I bet it was because you started to believe in yourself and heck what others were telling you.

Wish all of you to continue believing in yourself, in your dreams, and in magic.

The World of Abundance

Believe it or not ...
Abundance will appear when you believe it
when you don't think about scarcity
and they will keep coming
it sounds quite ironic
but at this moment in time
i really believe strongly
what u tell ur mind
will simply come true
try it

Spring Break

Guest post from: Bruno Smith

My daughter is a college freshman this year. She is planning to go on a spring break trip to Florida with a bunch of her girlfriends. I am really worried about her starting to go off on trips without any parents or any “adult” presence with her. Granted, she is an adult legally, but there are just so many things that can happen. It is really hard to let a child grow up and make their own mistakes. She is definitely at the age where you can’t tell her anything. She just thinks I am an old woman from the dark ages. Well, let me just say this old woman has been around the block and does know a few things. I have tried to make her aware of some concerns that I have, and she seems to have an answer for everything. I asked her what she would do if she has a flat tire, and she said the girl she is riding with has AAA so they would just call them to come fix it. Then I asked her about her friend’s beach house. I wanted to know if it was in a safe area. She said to not worry about that because they had a security system they got through home security Florida. Obviously they had discussed that already since she had an answer for that one. I guess I am just going to have to trust her instincts. My baby girl is growing up.

Ensuring there will be apple pie at Thanksgiving

Guest post written by Jenny Haverford

When I found out that my mom wasn't planning on fixing an apple pie for Thanksgiving this year, I just knew that was unacceptable. I simply had to do something about this! I'm definitely by far the person who's travelling the farthest for the holiday festivities, so I had been told to just enjoy the food and not worry about contributing anything. Well, I knew that I definitely wanted to contribute some apple pie.

But I'm not sure if I've ever fixed pie in my life before, so I looked online with my clear wireless internet to see if I could find a simple enough recipe for it. I found all different types of recipes and even though I think that it's going to be a bit of a challenge for someone who's never cooked pie before, I guess there are harder things that I could have decided on fixing for the meal.

I told my parents about my plan for the apple pie and my mom said that she would help me fix it if I was having trouble.

Camping Gear

The article written by Alonso Kramer

Living in Montana, the countryside is absolutely beautiful. My husband and I are avid hikers, so we go hiking and camping all of the time. I recently bought a bunch of new camping gear for my husband for his birthday, and he absolutely loved it. Using Montana wireless interent serviceI often do my shopping online. The closest mall is about a two hour drive from us, so shopping online makes much more sense. Because my husband and I camp so often, much of our gear had become worn out over the past few years. I got him a new sleeping bag and a new four-man tent, which the two of us use. Two-man tents are not really big enough for two people in my opinion. There is a small river about an hour drive from our house, and we will go often to camp, fish, and hike along the river. My husband really enjoys fly fishing, and he has become very good at it. I have not quite gotten the hang of it yet, but he has been teaching me how to do it properly. He is definitely the master fisherman in our family, but somehow I am always the one that ends up cooking the fish. I guess I have to pull my weight somehow.

How Michael C. Hall convinced me to get Satellite TV

Thanks for the post, Lucius Gaines

With so many shows on tvbydirect.com there are many personalities that are played over and over again. Dexter played by Michael C. Hall is not one of these personalities. The creators really hit a home run with Dexter and found the perfect actor to portray the character of Dexter. Michael C. Hall does an amazing job acting as a man who has no feelings such as love or sympathy and is a very convincing sociopath. Although Michael plays a serial killer I cannot help but to be pulled in by him and feel sympathy towards his circumstances on the show. When I first started watching the show I did not really like Michael C. Hall as an actor, and his character rubbed me the wrong way. This is understandable since people really should like or feel sympathy for a serial killer. By about the 4th episode Michael had completely drawn me into his life and character as Dexter and I have been hooked ever since! I initially became addicted to Dexter and Michael C. Hall by renting the DVDs when I did not have cable, but I ended up subscribing to Satellite TV so that I could watch the new seasons of Dexter. I look forward to the new episodes every week!

Making it through the less fun parts of moving

Guest post written by Flora Hudson

Out of all the times that I've moved in my life, I've actually enjoyed packing because it makes me imagine how all of my things will look in my new place. Of course then once I actually have to unpack all of that stuff as part of the move, which is most definitely the less glamorous part of the whole process.

But, it wasn't as bad packing up and moving this time because I bought a house and was moving into it! So I'm definitely planning on staying there for as long as possible. I was switching over all my utilities to it before the actual move when I came across some information about energy rates with ShopElectricityRatesTexas. I thought ! that maybe it was time I take advantage of the different energy providers and find a better price.

So once all the movers had left, I felt really good about settling down and not having to pay as much for my energy bill at least. It's more of a relief than you would think, especially since I remodeled my kitchen before I moved in.
