KU or UK

Having lived and spent a great amount of time in both states I find it hard who to root for on many a occasions.

Today I root for Kentucky but in hopes that Kansas makes it all the way as well. Who's your favorite team by the way?

Please don't say North Carolina, Duke or even Michigan State. I love most teams but just like my football picks there are some I just hate to watch and these are some!

Fill us in on your thoughts. Let us know who you root for, if you have a team or just plain ole don't like basketball. Our comments are for everyone, YOU included.

From Tornado to Beautiful New Lawn

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Scotts®. All opinions are 100% mine.

This time last year was the beginning of hectic summer. After the long harsh winter of 2010, and it was a very cold and snow blowing winter, we lost a loved one. Needless to say it was the loss no one ever wants to inccur but it happens and for the grace of God we are making it through it and doing fine. We've been looking into Scotts® Snap® Spreader System. 

Then we had a Tornado that took out half of our town. You can read a little more here if you'd like in a previous post. "Tornado Damages, When Will It End". After this we of course were always wondering, OK what's next. My Aunt, bless her heart continued to tell me, "Bubby, don't say that!" 

I really was at times wondering what was next. What to do about our lawn? I think Scots Spreader System or and Snap will definitely be a product with supplies in our garage. We thought our lawn was going to be completely ruined. Let me tell you about the huge limbs that tore holes in the lawn and trees that dissappeared altogether. Our lawn is empty. At least for now. Let me just say that regardless of your situation if you put your faith in a God of your understanding you will make it through. You will be shown the way. 

Here are a couple of pictures from the storm and our backyard at the time.

Don't forget about or if you don't know then go to their facebook page and like Snap perks on Facebook. Great perks for everyone, especially if your lawn is in need of attention.

Overall it appears that there is NO MESS, self seals making it easy to store in your garage or storage shed. Take a look and read up on the:

We hope to use Scotts to repair our lawn to not only it's normal state but to an even much eyecatching lawn when our neighbors drive by. I know some who will definitely stop by and ask, "hey how'd you get it to looking like that again?".

  

Perfect Morning

Thanks for the guest post by Esteban Vinson
I didn’t have a client until ten o’clock this morning. It was wonderful! Usually, I have someone lined up at eight o’clock. I am thinking that I don’t even need to have eight o’clock appointments anymore, because usually my eight o’clock never shows! The ones that do show are usually really late and push my day back.

I do have one or two who show up on time, which is nice. So this morning, because I had so much time, I got up at my usual six thirty. I walked the dog and hopped in the shower. I was out of the shower by eight o’clock.

I poured some coffee and sat on the couch and flipped on the “Today Show” on Direct.TV. I had forgotten how nice it was to be at home in the mornings. I started the laundry and watched television. I let my hair air dry a little before I started blowing it out. By the time I got ready ( full makeup, etc.) It was only nine o’clock!. I had an hour to kill, so just watched a little bit more television and cleaned up around the house. When I got home from work, I had already worked out and the house was clean--- perfection!

Football

I appreciate the guest post, Rodrigo Coffey

Now that it’s football season, my group of friends know what we’re doing every Saturday. This is the first year that I haven’t had season tickets, and I’m actually kind of looking forward to not having to stand in the sun or cold for four hours at a time.

I’m also looking forward to being able to wear whatever I want to watch the game, rather than being expected to dress up. We haven’t decided whose house we’re going to be watching the games at, but our friend John has a brand new big screen and HD Cable, so I don’t think it’s going to be a hard decision to make.

One thing that I really love about football parties is the food. I love all kinds of tailgating food. Hot dogs, chili, chips, beer, I could go on and on. Even if we’re not watching my team’s game, the food alone will be enough to get me there. It’s going to be nice to stay in for a change. I spent my Saturdays this summer out and about, always doing something that requires money. I really look forward to saving money and still being able to do something social.

Does This Go Together

Sometimes it is very difficult in making the decision of what to wear. At least for some folks. For me, well I do sometimes just grab the next available thing hanging in the closet and go with it. Others like my significant other takes time, changes a couple of times and then asks the unanswerable question, "honey does this go together", or "does this look alright"?

Well of course it goes together and of course it looks alright. What else am I suppose to say? I know I'm suppose to be honest but I generally have to watch my honesty with some as I have been called brutal honest. That at times leaves a mark.

So I tend to give myself permission to be a little less than honest or a little above what I think in my honesty. Like the old man and his wife who just came up out of the cyclone cellar to find his home and everything in ruins. He says, "hey look ma, nothing the matter here, isn't it grand the wind stopped blowing"?

So I guess you get my point, only the old fart wasn't being dishonest with his wife he was being dishonest with his self. He really seen nothing wrong when in fact they had lost everything. Trust me, if you read back to a few months ago or last summer you will see that I went through a tornado and we lost pretty much everything. At that time it wasn't important to decide what we was going to wear, it was important to just have a little something to wear and for that we were grateful!

The next time you look into your wardrobe or closet, where ever you keep your next outfit, just remember it's more important to have it than what others are going to think about what you have on. Sure we get caught up in what others think way too often.

I say give yourself permission to be happy, comfortable and grateful on a daily basis!
