I grew up in a family short on money but big on love.&nbsp; I had everything I needed and my parents did the best they could to get me things I wanted when they could.&nbsp; I look back and wonder how they did it&nbsp;and now&nbsp;am in awe of them.<br/><br/>My parents did a good job of teaching me to appreciate what I have.&nbsp; I have always followed the "Happiness is wanting what you have not having what you want" approach to life.&nbsp; In turn, I have ende...]]></description><guid isPermaLink="True">http://jilluser.joeuser.com/article/316938</guid><link>http://jilluser.joeuser.com/article/316938</link><pubDate>Sat, 05 Jul 2008 14:28:07 -0400</pubDate><pubDateParsed>2008-07-05T18:28:07</pubDateParsed><title>I Love My Life...but who wouldn't?</title></item><item><author>JillUser</author><comments>http://jilluser.joeuser.com/article/313620</comments><description><![CDATA[I just reported this problem but wanted to let the people know who have been commenting on my blogs, I have been wanting to respond but can't.&nbsp;

These people play pretend as a profession.&nbsp; They aren't scholars.&nbsp; They have no credentials when it comes to foreign policy, religion, politics, etc.&nbsp; So why should they have any clout on these subjects, because sometimes they pretend to be characters that know such things?<br/><br/>Sharone Stone, as some may have heard, made the bone headed comment that...]]></description><guid isPermaLink="True">http://jilluser.joeuser.com/article/313526</guid><link>http://jilluser.joeuser.com/article/313526</link><pubDate>Sat, 05 Jul 2008 14:28:07 -0400</pubDate><pubDateParsed>2008-07-05T18:28:07</pubDateParsed><title>Sharon Stone, Bone Head but So What</title></item><item><author>JillUser</author><comments>http://jilluser.joeuser.com/article/313521</comments><description><![CDATA[I think we all have something that we depend on to get us through each day.&nbsp; For some it's an addiction and for others it's just something they look forward to each day.&nbsp; Let's call that something your "crutch".<br/><br/>So what's your crutch?<br/><br/>My main crutch is coffee and it is a full on addiction.&nbsp; If I don't get some of the life giving fluid in the morning, I am cranky and get a headache.&nbsp; My other crutch is chocolate.&nbsp; I don't know if it is an addiction or not but I just...]]></description><guid isPermaLink="True">http://jilluser.joeuser.com/article/313521</guid><link>http://jilluser.joeuser.com/article/313521</link><pubDate>Sat, 05 Jul 2008 14:28:07 -0400</pubDate><pubDateParsed>2008-07-05T18:28:07</pubDateParsed><title>What's Your Crutch</title></item><item><author>JillUser</author><comments>http://jilluser.joeuser.com/article/313520</comments><description><![CDATA[I recently read a piece online that detailed how a Rachel Ray ad for Dunkin Donuts was taken off the air after Michelle Malkin wrote about the scarf Ray wore in the ad.&nbsp; Malkin claimed it resembled a "kiffeyeh" which was worn by terrorists in hostage videos.&nbsp; Malkin also claims that Collin Farrell, Kanye West and Howard Dean have all been seen wearing similar scarves which she labeled "distinctive hate couture".<br/><br/>I used to enjoy Malkin's spunk on the O'Reilley Factor.&nbsp;

A) My hubby is away on business for a week (but I can't complain)<br/><br/>B) I seem to have some sort of flu or cold that has me achy and exhausted; and C) I got a very bad hair cut.<br/><br/>I went to the stylist with spiral permed hair that was about to the bottom of my shoulder blades.&nbsp; It was almost all one length but with long layers.&nbsp; I hadn't had a trim for about 3 months so it was hard to tell I had layers at all.<br/><br/>I told the stylist how ...]]></description><guid isPermaLink="True">http://jilluser.joeuser.com/article/306128</guid><link>http://jilluser.joeuser.com/article/306128</link><pubDate>Sat, 05 Jul 2008 14:28:07 -0400</pubDate><pubDateParsed>2008-07-05T18:28:07</pubDateParsed><title>Bad Hair Blues</title></item><item><author>JillUser</author><comments>http://jilluser.joeuser.com/article/303574</comments><description><![CDATA[TV Land has this program called High School Reunion where a group of alumni having their 20th high school reunion are brought to a resort in Hawaii and drama ensues.&nbsp; This show caught my attention because I am about to have my 20th reunion in a few weeks and was interested to see what issues these others my age were having.<br/><br/>First off, these people look old!&nbsp;

Today I will just write a small blog about the one twist in my life that I find the most unexpected.&nbsp; You would probably think that the thing that I find most unexpected after growing up with a very 80s version of Little House on The Prairie lifestyle&nbsp;would be&nbsp;ending up wealthy .&nbsp;

I don't mind "Falling Back" quite as much.&nbsp; I was quite concerned how things would go with the baby but she's adjusting without a single problem.<br/><br/>My parents helped the time change go easy on me.&nbsp;

I, for one, am a very good HomeMaker but a less than good HouseKeeper (at least right now with a toddler).&nbsp; I am not a person that can't sleep if there's a dirty dish or some other mess.&nbsp; I know very well it will still be there in the morning.<br/><br/>I do think that I am quite good at home making though.&nbsp;

I am so sick of the bitter cold, snow, and all the fun sicknesses that come along with the dry, cold weather.&nbsp; We need some sunshine and warm air now!<br/><br/>Last week we discovered that our cottage ran out of propane and froze.&nbsp; Luckily our builders used a new kind of pipe that expands and nothing burst.&nbsp; Our school was not as lucky over the mid-winter break.&nbsp; Pipes burst and there was a lot of water ...]]></description><guid isPermaLink="True">http://jilluser.joeuser.com/article/300439</guid><link>http://jilluser.joeuser.com/article/300439</link><pubDate>Sat, 05 Jul 2008 14:28:07 -0400</pubDate><pubDateParsed>2008-07-05T18:28:07</pubDateParsed><title>Soooo ready for Spring!</title></item><item><author>JillUser</author><comments>http://jilluser.joeuser.com/article/176063</comments><description><![CDATA[Have you seen the crazy produce at the markets these days?&nbsp; I was recently told about Orange cauliflower so I went to my local market to check it out.&nbsp; It tastes the same as regular cauliflower but has added beta carotene and is a prettty orange&nbsp;color.&nbsp; The purple variety has added vitamin C.<br/><br/>My kids, especially my 7yr old, are picky about veggies but love the colored cauliflower.&nbsp; They also like carrots that still have the greens attached because they look like bugs ...]]></description><guid isPermaLink="True">http://jilluser.joeuser.com/article/176063</guid><link>http://jilluser.joeuser.com/article/176063</link><pubDate>Sat, 05 Jul 2008 14:28:07 -0400</pubDate><pubDateParsed>2008-07-05T18:28:07</pubDateParsed><title>Purple and Orange cauliflower</title></item><item><author>JillUser</author><comments>http://jilluser.joeuser.com/article/176060</comments><description><![CDATA[I caught a couple of minutes of The View unintentionally today.&nbsp;&nbsp;My toddler got ahold of the clicker and there was Joy Behar spewing her idiocy.&nbsp; I can't believe she gets paid to say the things she says!<br/><br/>She was talking about how the rich shouldn't get tax cuts.&nbsp; Whoopi Goldberg was actually trying to talk some sense but was getting shouted over by the brainless redhead.&nbsp;

I recently talked to my doctor about tubal ligation (getting ones tubes tied) and he told me about Essure.&nbsp; It is a procedure where tiny coils are placed into the falopian tubes through the vagina and then the tubes scar around them preventing pregnancy.<br/><br/>I checked out the website and even though it is a very new procedure, the results sound really great.&nbsp;

They talked about the differences in twins when one was a generally happy person and the other wasn't.&nbsp; One phrase stuck with me, "Attitude of gratitude".&nbsp; <br/><br/>They were saying that feeling grateful for what you have rather than always wishing you had something else is the key to happiness.&nbsp;
