I thought I'd take a stab at my favorite voices (besides MINE.. hahaah).  As a singer, I tend to be hypercritical and there aren't many voices that thrill me.

Annie Lennox. I agree with Brian on this.  So clear and amazing.  Pure.  She has a tremendous instrument.  Everytime I hear "Everytime We Say Goodbye", I cry a little.

Enya. I imagine her voice ( Read more... )

No one can say they didn't try.  It has to be hard being married to an icon when your career is mediocre compared to hers.  It's a classic Fanny Brice/Nicky Arnstein story.  I hope that they keep it civil.

I've been having many encounters with the insect world lately.  Our area has been overrun with stinkbugs.  They turn up everywhere.  I was shaking out a pair of pants and there was a stinkbug flying out at me.  Cierra was in her room and one landed on her foot and all she could do was scream for me to help ( Read more... )

I've been reading more and more about "hypermiling" - trying to get the most gas mileage out of your car.  I know gas is expensive, but I'm not willing to risk my safety or the safety of my kids.  Not to mention my comfort ( Read more... )

One commercial that I simply cannot stomach is the one for Mentos Gum.

 Just read this article on 12 tips to save money without feeling deprived.  I'll share them here:
