Tis the season for top ten lists!



I love top ten lists and found a great site at top-10-list.org that gives millions of top ten lists just in time for the end of the year and the end of another decade!!!!




How about the top ten bloggers? From Michael to Kim!
Kim Kardashian at number 10, became famous for her personal life and her part in a reality television gig. She writes about her personal and professional life in her website. Oh joy! I am sure it is reviting...NOT!
Michael Moore at number one, is the creator and developer of Sicko, Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11, and his latest Capitalism: A Love Story. He has plenty to say and plenty of people care what he has to say, I am just not one of them.
Sandwhiched in between this top ten list are Taylor Swift, Perez Hilton....well you can find out the rest on your own :)

Time to shop? Again.....?

Do you like shopping for all of the after Christmas deals? I am not much for shopping before or after Christmas, but if I was here are a few things I would keep in mind that might be helpful for you!!!!

Shop Ahead for Upcoming Occasions
Use the after-Christmas sales to stock up on birthday presents, anniversary gifts, Mother's Day/Father's Day presents and end-of-the-year teacher's gifts. Some ideas to consider:

stocking stuffers can be used as party favors, in Easter baskets or as Valentine's gifts for the kids

red candy, candles and decorations can be used for Valentine's Day

green candy and decorations can be used for St. Patrick’s Day

solid colored gift wrap can be used year-round

solid colored party supplies (plates, napkins, cups) can be used for birthdays and BBQs

gift sets can be repackaged (if they’re in holiday packaging), and given throughout the year

Don't Overlook Thrift Stores they receive a lot of year-end donations from folks who are looking to grab a last-minute tax deduction, and that means there's lots of new loot for thrift store shoppers to sift through.

Snatch Up Bargains on Returned Merchandise! One man's Christmas return could become your next big bargain.

Do you make a lot of your own Christmas gifts? Then, use those after Christmas sales to stock up on holiday-themed ribbon, fabric and craft supplies.

From Jeans to Rats...give a gift that really keeps on giving!


There are many ways to show you care during the holidays, but that caring can be taken even further by giving gifts that will make a change for the better in the world.


* Offering hope to a global family in poverty, World Vision's Gift Catalog (www.world vision.org) has a choice of gifts you can buy in a loved one's name. For example, give a dairy goat ($75) in your children's names and a family in impoverished Uganda will receive an animal that will nourish their hungry children and help provide the family with an income, as they sell the goat's milk and cheese.

* While most people have pets for the companionship they can provide, many injured members of the armed forces returning from Iraq and Afghanistan rely on trained service dogs to live an independent life. Gift givers can support the Puppies Behind Bars (www. puppiesbehindbars.com) program, in which inmates raise service dogs for disabled veterans. The inmates teach the puppies a series of basic manners and commands in addition to several specialized commands. You can support the program by purchasing a Chewy Shoe ($16.75), a red, white and blue dog toy made of Vibrame rubber that features a tugging and towing rope. Puppies Behind Bars receives $2 for each pet toy purchased.

* Help the woman in your life look and feel good with a pair Genetic Denim's Gabrielle jeans ($154). One hundred percent of the net proceeds from every pair of jeans will benefit the Gabrielle's Angel Foundation for Cancer Research (www.gabrielles angels.org).

* It's not as flashy as jewelry, and it's certainly more interesting than a tie: For less than $8 a month, you can adopt a rat that has the potential to save a life. HeroRats (www.herorat.org) in Mozambique and Tanzania are trained to sniff out the TNT in land mines, pinpointing buried explosives by scratching at the soil. (Their light weight won't trigger the mine.) A trained rat is able to clear 100 square meters of ground in 30 minutes - a task that would take a human two days. Apopo (www.apopo.org) researches, develops and deploys the rats, but it takes funds to train them. Visit www.herorat.org to adopt one of the African giant pouched rats. The gift recipient will get an adoption certificate, photos and updates regarding the gift rat and the work it's doing.

Golden Globe Nominations Are Out!


Futuristic epic "Avatar" and downsizing drama "Up In the Air" led the field as nominees for the 67th Golden Globes were unveiled on Tuesday, signaling the start of Hollywood's awards season.
Despite the fact that it has yet to be released in North America, Oscar-winner James Cameron's ground-breaking "Avatar" scored nominations in the best drama and best director categories for the January 17 awards show.
