GREAT Household Item!

I found this item while standing in the check out lane at Garden Ridge http://www.gardenridge.com/. I have to be honest and tell you that it was purchased awhile back and hadn't even come out of the box until yesterday evening. I ALSO have to tell you that even though we were stuck in our home for a few days with this ice storm, Wayne didn't "think" about opening up the box until yesterday like I just stated. You know the same "yesterday" I broke my left baby toe. "Gee Honey, you want to try moving the TV into the guest room now!' L.O.L. Well, he decided to just put them under the corners of the TV and when I felt better we could try moving it then. Sounded good to me.

So, this morning, I got to studying the box and how it "brags" on how EASY it is to move things so I decided to try it...what the heck? Wayne's gone to work and if I can't...whose it going to hurt? Let me tell you ladies! This product is AWESOME! I moved that big ol' TV ALL BY MYSELF, broken baby toe and all! It restores my confidence in the advertisement world...it works!
And I will end this blog with I am WOMAN hear me ROAR!!!

I'm Ending This Blog With #1 More Recommendation About Your Finances. Set Up A Budget! Do This Like...Yesterday! There Are Resources On This As Well. I Am Not Recommending Doing This Without Doing This In Our Household. Nothing AGGRAVATES Me More Than To Go To The Doctor And They Tell Me I Need To Lose Weight And The Person Telling Me Could Use Some Weight Loss Themselves! We Attended A Dave Ramsey Conference In 2010 And My Husband Listens To Dave Ramsey Daily On The Radio. You Can Access The Closest Radio Station By Going To His Website http://www.daveramsey.com/home/ . Another Step We Took And Just Completed In December Was A 10 Week Course Through Crown Financial Ministries http://www.crown.org/ .

I'm Not Endorsing Either One Of These Programs...I'm Just Letting You Know That I DO Practice What I Preach. We Got Tired Of Doing The Juggling Act Every Month And Being A FULL Time REALTOR, We HAVE To Set Up For Those Rainy Days!

When It Comes To Teamwork...Which Animal Are You?

I Was Asked To "Chair" The P&R Committee This Year For Our Board. A BIG Part Of This Position Is To Get "Captains" For The Relay For Life Teams In Each Of The Counties That Are A Part Of Our Board. For The Past Two Weeks I Have Been Trying To Recruit REALTORS From Our Local Board To Assist And To Also Be On This Committee.

I Have Been REMINDED Of One Of My Favorite Childhood Stories And Decided To Share It With You. So, Tell Me...Which One Are You? Cluck Cluck



The Little Red Hen

Once upon a time, there was a little red hen who lived on a farm. She was friends with a lazy dog, a sleepy cat, and a noisy yellow duck.

One day the little red hen found some seeds on the ground. The little red hen had an idea. She would plant the seeds. The little red hen asked her friends, "Who will help me plant the seeds?"

"Not I," barked the lazy dog.
"Not I," purred the sleepy cat.
"Not I," quacked the noisy yellow duck.

"Then I will," said the little red hen. So the little red hen planted the seeds all by herself.

When the seeds had grown, the little red hen asked her friends, "Who will help me cut the wheat?"

"Not I," barked the lazy dog.
"Not I," purred the sleepy cat.
"Not I," quacked the noisy yellow duck.

"Then I will," said the little red hen. So the little red hen cut the wheat all by herself.

When all the wheat was cut, the little red hen asked her friends, "Who will help me take the wheat to the mill to be ground into flour?"

"Not I," barked the lazy dog.
"Not I," purred the sleepy cat.
"Not I," quacked the noisy yellow duck.

"Then I will," said the little red hen. So the little red hen brought the wheat to the mill all by herself, ground the wheat into flour, and carried the heavy sack of flour back to the farm.

The tired little red hen asked her friends, "Who will help me bake the bread?"

"Not I," barked the lazy dog.
"Not I," purred the sleepy cat.
"Not I," quacked the noisy yellow duck.

"Then I will," said the little red hen. So the little red hen baked the bread all by herself.

When the bread was finished, the tired little red hen asked her friends, "Who will help me eat the bread?"

"I will," barked the lazy dog.
"I will," purred the sleepy cat.
"I will," quacked the noisy yellow duck.

"No!" said the little red hen. "I will." And the little red hen ate the bread all by herself.
