Do you have this problem?

I love spring.  Don't get me wrong.  We've suffered through -45 and snow up to our knees and the puddles make me feel like hope is near!  But I can't help but fret over what to wear on my feet. 

Try to muffle your laughter, but it's true!  Tim Black constantly laughs at myself and office mates that talk about our shoes.  But it's frustrating to know what to wear these days.  I am currently trudging around in my "winter boots."  Sweating a little more than I'd like to in my winter coat, but I tried heels yesterday.  No dice.  Not only has the ice made it impossible to dig my heels in, my normal defense mechanism for landing on my hind end, I slip and slide like a kid at a water park.  It's still too cold for sneakers.  The soles seem to freeze after a couple min. and make me toes ache. 

Oh I have my problems don't I!  LOL

Guess the snow boots win until I can get away with rubber boots! 

When Should I Wed?

Think you can convince your boss to let you nap?

Remember Kindergarten when the lights would dim and you would snuggle up with your teddy bear for a nap?  Wasn't that the best! 

Well turns out us adults should be taking a page from the wee ones and having a mid-day nap.  A recent study showed that if we just had a 60-90 minute nap every day our brains would work better later on in the day.

What Guys Wished Women Knew

Men constantly spit out the phrase "I just don't get women"  Well guess what guys...you aren't see through either!  Shaunti Feldhamhn (I can't pronounce it either)  Lists some things guys with women knew about them...

Please keep your stress to yourself. Thanks!

The Academy of Finland's educational arm has found that parents who push themselves too hard at work could harm their children's success.  Research is showing that children can "catch" stress from their parents.  And in turn start performing poorly at school.  Being calm and happy at home could really help your kids out -not to mention make your life more enjoyable. 

Merry Ho Ho for your Bow-wow

Do you talk to your pet like I do?  Treat them like one of the family? 

I am constantly making sure everyone in my household treats my cat Lu (or Lu Bear as I call him) like any one of us...maybe even a little better!

Lights, Coco, Action!

Well the weather outside is....Great!  And it doesn't feel like the Parade of Lights would be here yet but it is.  6pm on Saturday grab your hot chocolate, the family and your Christmas spirit and head on down to Rosser Ave. or Princess Ave to take in the Santa Parade. 

Wow, what a weekend

It starts off with the beautiful temperatures that we are seeing today and continues with non-stop action!  Whether you're into the arts, sports or cattle, there is something for you going on in Westman this weekend.
