Why 2010 Will Be A Great Year To Travel

Just finished scanning the Travel Section of the New York Times and came across an article about the new hotels opening this year. 
New York City is leading the way, with forty-six new hotels in 2010. 
Houston, a city that I adore, will have thirty new properties. Don't you just love competition in the hotel industry?
So for those of us wanting to visit the Big Apple in 2010, experience Texas hospitality in Houston, or walk along Chicago's Miracle Mile, we'll have more choices than ever.  And if you're thinking that a trip to my hometown of Atlanta sounds appealing, there has never been a better time!
Time to start packing and make those reservations.

Snake in firewood reported on 11Alive News

Well, this should make the MWY think twice about hauling our firewood from the backyard to the deck without his gloves.  I just read this and honestly, I'll probably have nightmares about it.

A Poem About Our Girlfriends

Vivian Keeton Hinchey shared this on Facebook today. It touched my heart and I thought it was a wonderful poem to share with my daughter as well.



A Poem About Our Girlfriends
Someone will always be prettier.
Someone will always be smarter.
Some of their houses will be bigger.
Some will drive a better car. ... See More
Their children will do better in school.
And their husband will fix more things around the house.
So let it go, and love you and your circumstances
Think about it!
The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.
The most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children.
The richest woman you know, she's got the car, the house, the clothes~ might be lonely.
And the word says, 'If I have not Love, I am nothing.' So, again, love you.
Love who you are..
Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say,
'I am too Blessed to be Stressed and too Anointed, to be Disappointed!'
'Winners make things happen~~ Losers let things happen.'
Be 'Blessed' Ladies and pass this on to encourage another woman.
'To the world you might be one person, to me you are special!
