Today
I'm currently listening to music while the kids are playing together. I wonder how will the kids handle the weekend separation when Jess goes on her senior trip to DC? They are very attached. Its nice that with such a big age difference that they can be so close. BTW, Anthony finally called his sister by her real first name to her yesterday. He has called her gaga from the time he started speaking. He knew what her real name was and has said it before, just never to her until yesterday. The three of us were sitting in the living room yesterday when I asked him his sisters name, of course he said gaga, then i said, no, whats her real name, and he said jessica. jess was so happy, lol.
hmmm, whats for dinner tonight? It feels like it should be an easy night. Might just see if I can get away with grilled cheese sandwiches with french fries, hell, it works for me.
My baby girl turns 18 in a couple of days, where the hell did all the time go? My little guy will be 4 this summer, yeah i know what your'e thinking, and yes, stuff happens. All things happen for a reason.

GAS BOYCOTT
We'll show you a gas boycott!
THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' GAS FOR ONE DAY (The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas),
This was sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this summer, take time to read this please. BUT THIS WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO $1.30 PER GALLON.
Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea.
I hear we are going to hit close to $ 4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action.
Please read on and join with us!
By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $2.00 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $3.08 at Arco and Costco for regular unleaded in Salem, Oregon and climbing every week. ($3.09 here in Birmingham)
Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 - $2.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace..not sellers.
The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.
How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas.
But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.
Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL.
If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now, don't wimp out on me at this point...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!
I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) .... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)... and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers .
If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted!
If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!
Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all!
How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!
I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you! Acting together we can make a difference.

Arbonne Products Great for All Skin Types
Arbonne for African American Skin
72
By jamisewilson
Is Arbonne a good product for African American skin?
Arbonne was founded in Switzerland and introduced in the U.S. in 1980. They pride themselves on using botanical ingredients in their skin care, cosmetics, and wellness products. Their most popular skincare product is the NutriminC line which effectively reverses the signs of sun damage with nutrients and vitamin C (NutriminC).
Arbonnes' products are safe for all skin types. There are no animal by-products used or testing, no harmful dyes and fragrances, and no mineral oil.
Sun Protection
African Americans have melanin which gives skin a darker tone. Melanin also acts as a sunscreen and protects the skin from ultraviolet light. Despite most myths, darker skinned people do need to wear sunscreen.
Most sunscreens only protect against UVB rays which burn the skin. The best sunscreen includes an ingredient called Parsol 1789 or avobenzone, zinc oxide, or ecamsule. It absorbs UVA rays which have been known to cause melanoma.
The Before Sun Collection from Arbonne contains this broad spectrum formula along with an SPF 15. The soothing botanicals of avocado oil and chamomile also provide a layer of moisturization and relieves dry skinafter sun exposure.
Healthy Skin
Healthy skin is not achieved simply by using the best skin care products. There is a combination of what you put on your skin as well as what goes in your body that helps you achieve the healthy glowing skin you desire.
Omega 3 fatty acids are becoming more popular as a daily supplement. They provide essential nutrients for healthy hearts, reduce inflammation, and help prevent risk factors associated with chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and arthritis.
Symptoms of omega-3 fatty acid deficiency include extreme tiredness (fatigue), poor memory, dry skin, heart problems, mood swings or depression, and poor circulation.
Omega 3 in African Americans could also help with diabetes and high blood pressure.
How does it help the skin?
Omega 3 aids in skin firmness which produces less wrinkles. They also produce lost fat cells that helps combat dry skin and flakiness. The anti-inflammatory benefits of fish oil help eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis.:
NutriminC Fatty Acid Dietary Supplement, NutriminC RE9 products, Figure 8 Protein Shakes, Seasource Detox Spa
Vitamin D
Vitamin D deficiency is a rising problem among African Americans. Many scientists would like to change the daily recommended dose of vitamin D everyone should get, either by taking supplements, from foods, or sun exposure. Vitamin D is good for bone health; it will help lower the instance of osteoporosis.
Skin produces vitamin D when hit by ultraviolet light in sunlight. The amount depends on where people live, skin pigment, age and other factors. African Americans and other dark-skinned people, and anyone living in northern latitudes, make far less than some other groups.
You can find Vitamin D in the Figure 8 shakes and Nutritional Hybrid vitamin packs.
Acne and Oily Skin
Isopropyl alcohol is too harsh and drying to be used as a daily cleanser. Cetyl and cetearyl alcohols are used as emollients and very effective in removing oils from skin to keep pores from clogging.
Benzoyl peroxide is not recommended for use due to the effects of irritation and possible skin discoloration. Salicylic acid is widely used in most acne treatment products. The normal amount is around .5- 2%.
Retinoids (Retin-A and Retinyl Palmitate) are a good choice for people with dark or sensitive skin because they can treat the problem while cleansing.
Do not combine salicylic acid with benzoyl peroxide or retinoids due to the increased risk of irritation, peeling, stinging, or dryness.
Good sources of retinoids can be found in NutriminC products. The Clear Advantage system is recommended for clearing acne.
Conclusion
As you have just learned, there are many advantages to using African Americans to use Arbonne. For overall healthy skin inside and out, there is a product that is right for you.

Top 10 Reasons to Run Your Own Business
Ten reasons why 2011 should be the year you finally start your own business
Getty
"I like having my own money at risk, then having to live with the consequences of my decisions (good or bad)," says Mark Dinges, owner of California Creations.
There must be some reason why some 600,000 new businesses are founded each year, right? Well, based on an informal survey conducted by Inc.com, there are plenty of good reasons to run your own small business. Nearly 500 (462 to be exact) small business owners responded to the survey in which they were asked to name some of the reasons why they prefer to own their own small business as opposed to working as an employee for a larger company. What follows is a list of the 10 most common responses along with thoughts from some of the entrepreneurs who sent them (along with thanks to everyone who participated).
1. You Control Your Own Destiny
Many entrepreneurs consider themselves "Type-A" personalities, folks that like to take control and make decisions. In other words, owning a business saves them from having to work for anyone else. "One reason to own a small business is the ability to direct the culture of your company," says Kasey Gahler, a certified financial planner in Austin who left a big company to start his own business Gahler Financial three years ago. "When you're in the driver's seat, you are making the decisions on how best to steer your company into the future. This might be overwhelming for some and one must know when and how best to delegate. However, when you are able to make your own decisions about how best to operate day-to-day, this leads to creating a culture, a brand and an organization."

However, when you are able to make your own decisions about how best to operate day-to-day, this leads to creating a culture, a brand and an organization."
2. You Can Find Your Own Work/Life Balance
One of the most oft-cited benefits of owning your own business is the flexibility that comes with it, whether that be working from wherever you want, setting your own hours, wearing a nightgown or even sitting next to your pet while you work. "I get to carry a knife, drive a pickup truck and hang out with my dog a lot more – what can be better than that?" says David Winters, who owns a mobile screen repair business calledScreenmobile in Charlotte, North Carolina. Just as important, entrepreneurs say that owning their own business lets them set their priorities. "I make my own schedule, allowing me to spend time with the most important purpose in my life and the inspiration behind my company--my son, Zachary," says Yamile Jackson, whose company, Nurtured by Design, makes ergonomically designed products for babies and toddlers. "He went from having such a traumatic experience at birth (weighing less than two pounds and losing power to his life support equipment) that his story was featured in the TNT movie 14:Hours. He is now my company's CIO (Chief Inspirational Officer) and my healthy 9-year-old boy."

3. You Choose the People You Work With
When you work for someone else, you rarely get to choose whom you work with. If you don't like your co-workers you'd better start sending our resumes. That's not the case when you own your own business, since you get to make the decisions about who to hire (and fire). "Over the years, I've hired dozens of personal friends, family members and former business colleagues to work with me in different capacities," says serial entrepreneur Christine Clifford, whose Eden Prairie, Minnesota-based businesses include The Cancer Club and Divorcing Divas. "Why? Because they care about me. Surround yourself with positive people who give you the confidence and optimism you need to keep moving forward. Weed out the people that put out negative vibes. The smaller your organization, the larger choice you have about who you work with."
4. You Take on the Risk – And Reap the Rewards
There's no question that owning your own business is a risky proposition. But, with risk comes reward. Said another way, the better you are at managing risk, the more rewards you can reap. "The thing I enjoy most about the company is playing the 'game' of business," says Mark Dinges, who owns a Tustin, California-based business called California Creations that makes sophisticated windup toys called Z Windups. "It's like combining high stakes poker with the greatest strategy game ever. There are an unlimited number of variables in almost every aspect of the company, and as soon as you think you have things under control in an area, everything changes. Specifically, I like having my own money at risk, then having to live with the consequences of my decisions (good or bad). Like every other great game, the more you play, the better you get. You learn to recognize good opportunities from bad ones. You learn how to look like you are committed to new products, without actually financially committing to it until you have feedback and orders from your customers. You also learn to create exit strategies for bad situations and how to maximize the good ones. The most fun is to work on a project for several years with your team, overcoming all of the obstacles, and then millions of people enjoy it around the world."

5. You Can Challenge Yourself
Some people thrive on the routine of their job – performing the same tasks day after day. As an entrepreneur, you can bet that each day will be filled with new opportunities to challenge yourself, be creative and learn something new. "The great thing about owning a small business is I rarely experience the same day twice," saysMichael Wilson, co-founder of Mad Dancer Media, a web design and brand management firm in Franklin, Tennessee. "Because every day, I learn something new about the act of owning a business. Whether its something about taxes, about accounting, or the plethora of other things that go into running a company, I am always fascinated by the parts and pieces of knowledge that I learn every day just to keep the business on track."

6. You Can Follow Your Passion
Many entrepreneurs say the long hours they invest in growing their business doesn't feel like work because they're actually having fun in what they're doing. "For me, it was a very conscious choice to make a living doing what I love," says Trish Breslin Miller, who started her craft retail store This Little Gallery in 1989 at the age of 27. "I figured I'd spend more hours of my life working than anything else I'd ever do, so why not make it my passion? I enjoy the satisfaction of promoting and supporting something I truly believe in; American crafts handmade in the USA."

7. You Can Get Things Done – Faster
Entrepreneurs as a whole seem to have an allergy to red tape. Rather than wait for approval – or for the guidebook to be written about how to do something – small business owners salivate at the chance to get things done. "Most large companies are too busy being big to be proactive," says Darren Robbins, who owns a screen-printing business in Austin called Big D Custom T-Shirts. "The best that most can do is react quicker than the other big companies when the wave comes at them. My company, on the other hand has the flexibility to be proactive, to run new things up the flagpole and be at the forefront of new products, techniques, or promotional strategies. Never underestimate the ability to truly be proactive."
8. You Can Connect With Your Clients
There are few things that get entrepreneurs as excited as when they get to interact with their customers. Rather than hiding behind a series of automated greetings, small business owners thrive on dealing one-on-one with their best clients – or making the decision to get rid of those customers they don't like. "You don't have to deal with customers who are jerks - you can even fire them," says Brett Owens, whose software company Chrometa makes time-tracking applications. Seriously, we did this once. Back when I did customer service related stuff for larger companies, I had to abide by the mantra of, 'The customer is always right' and there are some rare instances where that is complete BS!"

9. You Can Give Back to Your Community
Many entrepreneurs love the idea that in building their business, they can give back to the community or communities they operate in the form of the products and services they offer, by donating to charities and especially the ability to create jobs, which is particularly important these days. "I take great pride in knowing that I'm solving a problem others have and creating opportunities for people to have jobs that they love," says Chris Brusznicki, founder of a sports vacation rental business calledGamedayHousing. "There's nothing more American than that."
10. You Feel Pride in Building Something of Your Own
One of the biggest differences in owning your own company as opposed to working for someone else is the sense of pride you establish in building something of your own. "There is nothing like being successful through your own leadership, abilities, ideas and efforts," says Peter Leeds, who coaches investors through his business, the Penny Stock Professional. Not only are there benefits from such self-actualization – you also get to brag about what you do. "One really cool thing about owning a small business is that people are interested in you and your story," says Steve Silberberg, who owns a weight-loss backpacking adventure firm called Fatpacking. "Not that I have some egomaniacal need to talk about the business or myself all the time, but it's still nice that people are interested."
