Okay, I went to this online store earlier, and I was amazed at the things I never knew…Did you know that BlaBla was a 2008 featured brand, at least for this store. And they had something called Ju Ju Be diaper bags…*LOL* What now??? Here I thought a diaper bag was a diaper bag…Can someone tell me what a Ju Ju Be is??? I’m not much into brand name things, because you can usually get the same thing for a cheaper price.

Okay, I have no problems admitting when I don’t know anything about some subject or another. Like Hydroxycut hardcore…..I have no problem admitting that I don’t have any clue whatsoever what that is, what it’s used for, or any of the other questions that come to mind. One of these days I’ll have to find time to do a little research and find out exactly what that is.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear “memory cards“? My first thought was those little cards that are sometimes given to people with memory diseases to help them remember things. Also the Memory game came to mind, as that was my favorite game as a child. Next came the memory cards that are in computers, and just about every other electronic these days.

There have been times when I thought it would be nice if I had my CDL training, in order to drive big trucks like my Dad. He makes pretty good money, better than I have ever made, that is for sure. But than I have a severe phobia of large vehicles anyway, so it’s not anywhere near being realistic for me to want to drive big trucks, plus being on the road in a big truck is not the life I would want for my girls. But the money would sure be nice, especially right now!!!

Is there such a thing as legal steroids?? Oh, well I guess the steroids that the Dr can give you would be legal ones, assuming you were the one with the prescription for them…I can see the medical benefits of them, in some cases, but just to take them to get bigger muscles, I don’t agree with that…To me that’s just silly!!! You need to be happy with who you are, whether you have big muscles or not, and though it will take time, the more working out you do, and weight lifting, the bigger your muscles will be.

The variety of now-a-days astonishes me. We don’t just have simple flashlights anymore. We have crank flashlights, LED flashlights, Battery Flashlights, Rechargable flashlights, and Lord only knows what else. In some cases I like the variety, but in other cases, I miss the simplicity of going somewhere and being able to pick something up within a matter of seconds, because I didn’t need to stand there for an hour debating which type is better.

Brazil vacation packages aren’t something that I’m all that interested in. I wouldn’t mind seeing Brazil, as I have a yearning to see the world, or as much of it as possible, but there are so many other places that I would like to see, before Brazil. *LOL* Although if a trip to Brazil was offered, I wouldn’t turn it down!!…I know that seeing the world will probably never happen, but I can still hope and dream. Where would we be without our dreams?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
After Tamara Leigh earned a Master’s Degree in Speech and Language Pathology, she and her husband decided to start a family, with plans for Tamara to continue in her career once she became a mother.
When the blessing of children proved elusive, Tamara became convicted to find a way to work out of her home in order to raise the children she and her husband longed to have. She turned to writing, at which she had only ever dreamed of being successful, and began attending church. Shortly thereafter, her agent called with news of Bantam Books’ offer of a four-book contract. That same day, Tamara’s pregnancy was confirmed. Within the next year, she gave up her speech pathology career, committed her life to Christ, her first child was born, and her first historical romance novel was released.
As Tamara continued to write for the secular market, publishing three more novels with HarperCollins and Dorchester, she infused her growing Christian beliefs into her writing. But it was not enough, and though her novels earned awards and were national bestsellers, she knew her stories were lacking. After struggling with the certainty that her writing was not honoring God as it should, she made the decision to write books that not only reveal Christianity to non-believers, but serve as an inspiration for those who have accepted Christ as their Savior. Her inspirational romances are peopled with characters in varying stages of Christian faith, from mature believers to new believers to non-believers on the threshold of awakening.
Tamara Leigh enjoys time with her family, volunteer work, faux painting, and reading. She lives near Nashville, Tennessee with her husband, David, and two sons, Skyler and Maxen.
Two of her latest books are Splitting Harriet and Perfecting Kate.
ABOUT THE BOOK
All she wants is a job. All she needs is religion. How hard can it be?
Maizy Grace Stewart dreams of a career as an investigative journalist, but her last job ended in disaster when her compassion cost her employer a juicy headline. A part-time gig at a Nashville newspaper might be her big break.
A second job at Steeple Side Christian Resources could help pay the bills, but Steeple Side only hires committed Christians. Maizy is sure she can fake it with her Five-Step Program to Authentic Christian Faith–a plan of action that includes changing her first name to Grace, buying Jesus-themed accessories, and learning “Christian Speak.” If only Jack Prentiss, Steeple Side’s managing editor and two-day-stubbled, blue-jean-wearing British hottie wasn’t determined to prove her a fraud.
When Maizy’s boss at the newspaper decides that she should investigate–and expose–any skeletons in Steeple Side’s closet, she must decide whether to deliver the dirt and secure her career or lean on her newfound faith, change the direction of her life, and pray that her Steeple Side colleagues–and Jack–will show her grace.

I don’t think I’d be much good at diet pill reviews….I have never take diet pills, and don’t know anything about them. In truth, I don’t want to know anything about them. I figure dedication to healthy eating, and exercise are the way to go. Not that I’m a great one to be talking about healthy eating and exercise, as it seems that I’m on the go too much, or depressed enough not to want to do anything.
