Lakers

Do you think the Lakers did the right thing by letting Mike Brown go?

Will they be successful now that a coaching change is in the works?

Or is it time that the Lakers just realize they really need to rebuild because they are now an old team?

Thought...

Be Thankful

The Holiday Season is already here. Stores already have Christmas decorations up! Starbucks is serving coffee in red cups and it's not even Thanksgiving yet.

Even though things are going fast and it may feel overwhelming. Be sure to take time to be thankful for the things that really matter: family, friends, food health.

Be Thankful

Was this Global Grind bloggers headline inappropriate??

I was on twitter yesterday and saw this headline: "Gabby F*ck School..."
I was immediately pissed off when I saw the article. The writer whose name shows on the blog as "Dimas S" was very concerned about Gabby pursuing a college education! If the writer had done his research he would know Gabby Douglas has already waive her NCAA eligibility because she has gone Pro... Even if she hadn't what is Erin with pursuing education and a career at the same time!

What do you think of Global Grinds headline?

Where do you get your daily news

I really like social media and I really like that social media allows me to get news stories on a regular basis that are not just local to me.

I have found though that I now mainly get all my news related information via the Internet. I hardly ever watch live TV thanks to my DVR and it is very rare that I watch my local news.

Where do you get your news relate information?

Anyone still receive the newspaper?

Welcome to L.A. Dwight Howard

I am so happy the Los Angeles Lakers management worked this deal out! Also thank you David Stern for not interfering!

Are the Olympic athletes parents financial woes newsworthy?

Over the past 24 hours I have seen many TV news reports and online media outlets report on the financial woes that athletes parents have.

Is this news?

I do not think this is news at all. Is it "news" because the children are "famous"?

Yeah media outlets can report on whatever they want we all know that. But this type of "Lets go find ALL the "dirt" type of reporting is just nuts. It has nothing to do with the athletes themselves!

These type of stories is why many people do not take the news seriously anymore. Many so called credible news outlets are becoming tabloid TV!!

Olympics 2012!

If you're like me you may be on Olympic overload!! But I love it. I have not watched any tv in the last week except for the Olympics. Even though I check results online and know who won I still watch the events.

Do you watch the games live online, on your mobile phone?

Do you hate the spoilers?

What have been your favorite Olympic moments so far?

Kim & Kanye vs. Kim & Kris

Maybe I've been bamboozled by the K's but I think latest Kouple (Kim
& Kanye) may be really be in LOVE.

Yeah I know we all thought Kim
& Kris were in love too. But you can look at the latest pics of Kimye and Kim does look happy...

Kimye has also been going strong 73 days!!!! That's longer than the first K&K marriage lasted...


Do the piks tell a story of real happiness?!!

Detox!

If you're like me trying to eat healthy and work out be sure to check out @doctoriansmith on twitter. He has some great information and he has been sharing information about the "3 day detox" the 3 day detox in a nutshell is:

"No soda or white bread. All fruits and veggies but no white potatoes. Must eat 4 small meals. No white rice or pasta. Whole wheat pasta ok.

100% whole grain or whole wheat bread is good. No cream sauces. Limit sugar. Drink as much water as u want. Stick to skim or lowfat milk.

No baked beans. Be careful of butter. Don't waste calories. Snacks must be 150 calories or less. Focus on crunchy veggies like carrots, nuts

Make sure u weigh urself b4 starting w/no or few clothes. Only weigh once a week! Walk or run 1 mile per day. If you can do more great:-)

As far as fruits and veggies. Eat as much as u want per day. No bacon or bread crumbs on salads. Only fat free dressing. Eat every 3 hr.

Remember. 4 small meals. 1 meal every 3 hrs. Snack if ur hungry. 150 calories or less. Drink lots of water before and after u eat.

Yogurts is fine and can add fresh fruit to it

Sweet potatoes are ok"

Also as far as "meat" goes Dr. Ian Smith recommends chicken and fish. Be sure to check him out!

Thank you @doctoriansmith!

weekend!

The weekend is here!

What are your plans?

Yard work, working out, socializing??

Whatever your plans may be. ENJOY cause it'll be Monday before we know it ☺

Apps! Apps and more Apps!

Most of us have smart phones, tablets etc. etc. It is very rare for anyone to have one these devices and not be addicted ☺ to some sort of app...

My fave iPhone apps are photo collage, instagram, fruit ninja and draw something!


So please share what's some of your fave apps??

Which apps do you think should disappear?

Work it out!!

For the last 3 weeks I have been on my workout GRIND! I am impressed with myself :-)
I am determined to run a 5k soon. So far I am doing 100% cardio! Starting July 1st I will be switching my workout routine up a bit.

I have also changed my eating habits. Lots of veggies, fruits, chicken and fish. The hardest thing for me is eating breakfast daily! I have never been a breakfast person!

Any workout tips you have for me or healthy recipes?? If so send them my way!

Thanks

Serenity Prayer

Happy Monday! This week when things seem a bit hectic. Take a moment; breathe, relax and remember the serenity prayer. A nice reminder that there are many things we just can't change, but we must accept that and press forward.

Greetings!

I know it's been a while but I am determined to blog at least 3 times a week! Starting this week!!!

Have a great week everyone!

Lady Laker Fans...would u rock this shoe???

so many funky shoe styles these days... Would you rock these?

Racism/Prejudice

Do you believe racism and prejudice are learned behaviors?

Rihanna and Breezy

Everyone knows about the terrible beating Breezy gave Riahnna...

I never thought the two of them would ever hang out let alone make music
Together. But they have.

Lately Rihanna has been posting some tweets that seem like they are directed at Breezy and his current girlfriend Karrueche Tran.

The wackiest twitpic of all came Friday night. When Rihanna posted a pic of a rice cake yes,a rice cake. And everyone knows she's referring to Karrueche who is Vietnamese.

In the song cake with Rihanna and Breezy one of Rihanna's lines is "sweeter than a rice cake"

So far no tweets from Karrueche or Breezy in response to the pic...

Miranda Lambert vs. Chris Brown

By now I'm sure everyone is aware of the twitter feud with Miranda Lambert and Chris Brown. However this has become more than a twitter feud.

During a recent performance Miranda held up a sign that read "Take this Chris Brown" I understand Miranda is upset about what Chris Brown did to Rihanna but holding up that sign and telling her fans to tweet it; what is she trying to accomplish. I know not everyone is going to forgive Chris Brown that is fine but Miranda it seems to me is trying to get a feud going with her and Chris. I hope Chris continues to learn from his horrible mistake and hopefully he and Miranda will make ends. Heck maybe they can do a song together???

Whacky Nails!

It's whacky Wednesday. What do you think of these whacky nails ☺

Would you rock these nails????

M.I.A flashes middle finger during super bowl halftime show!

It has been a few years since any drama occurred during the super bowl half time show...

The last as we all know was Janet Jacksons "nipple gate".

When I heard Madonna would be performing I thought that Madonna would do something outrageous. Turns out I was wrong instead it was M.I.A who was the one being "outrageous". While performing with Nicki Minaj an Madonna M.I.A flipped someone off. Or maybe she was just flipping off Tye crowd because we all know that's the classy thing to do...NOT!

What woulda make M.I.A want to flip off the crowd???

Makes no sense to me.

But congrats to Madonna for being 53 and FAB!!

How do you start your day???

How do you start your day?

How you start your day off can set the tone for how your day is going to go. If you start your day with postivity the chances are better the rest of the day will be good. Of course that is not saying that there will not be any challenges throughout the day but starting off positive will help those challenges be easier to deal with.

When I wake up, I say a prayer or read my daily devotions.  I also make it a habbit of reading  those friends twitter or facebook pages that are full of wisdom and laughter.

Try starting your day off wiht something positve : prayer, reading quotes, meditating etc. and you will see what a difference it will make in your day to day goings!

hello

happy Saturday to ALL

I have been debating about blogging for a few months now. The hardest part has been choosing what site to use to host the blog!
I have tried so many different sites and have come back to Blogger. Actually I am kind of stuck between Blogger and Tumblr!

So for the time being until I can make a firm decison I will be using both!  Decisions Decisions Decisions

Basically that means I will post the same post on each until I decide which one to go with :)
