I love the one about the three Rs. And the one about eating one daily meal together as a family too.

A True Friend Is A Blessing

François de La Rochefoucauld, French Writer 1613-1680

"A true friend is the greatest of all blessings,
and that which we take the least care to acquire."

Why not touch base with a friend today?

Is Chris Isaak to Replace Simon Cowell on American Idol?



Is Chris Isaak American Idol’s New Simon Cowell?
Oh I do hope so. I love Chris Isaak. He has a great voice and he's funny too. He would be perfect and everyone would love him. Fingers crossed. Fellow crooner Harry Connick Jr. is also rumored to be in the running to replace Simon Cowell. Harry would be good but he and Ellen fight too much and that could be a big problem. I vote for Chris. A good way to describe Chris Isaak for those of you who don't know him, he's a cross between Elvis and Ricky Nelson.

Get to know him better. Watch and listen to 19 of his music videos here.

I'm A Woman Who Runs On Coffee

This certainly holds true for me.
"Behind every successful woman is a substantial amount of coffee."
I used yesterday's free font for the quotation marks. Like it?
I've had two large mugs of coffee this morning and I'm feeling powerful!
