If any of you have read some of my past posts, you will see that my family and I are HUGE Pittsburgh Steeler fans. Today is a sad in Steeler land. Myron Cope has passed away! He was Steeler Football…including being the creator of The Terrible Towel™.
The memories of listening to Myron Cope announce the games will always stay with us.
Rest in peace Myron, and all of us Steeler fans will cheer a little harder for you!
Everyone is looking for their pot of gold! Where is yours?
Well, St. Patricks Day is just around the corner: the time for leprechauns, clovers and green beer! And today is the time to start planning your party.
Check out this all in one party pack, the Happy St. Patrick’s Decorating Kit, that I found at Party Favor Mall in the St. Patrick’s Day Party Supplies. It has everything you need to decorate for you great party.
Stop at the grocery store and pick up some green food coloring and green drinks for everyone. Here are a few ideas for your party:
- Try a couple drops of green food coloring in lemonade for the kiddies!
- A drop of green food coloring in your mug of beer.
- Make some green jello shots.
- Make some plain non-alcoholic jello shots for the kids. (Be sure to mark them clearly!!!!)
If you are going to have alcohol, make sure you have designated drivers!
As always, Happy Partying!
I just wanted to take a moment on this day of love to wish you all a Happy Valentines Day.
Check out this Red Hot gift for your special someone on Valentine’s Day… Really, any day!
You can find this Red Hot scented candle and many more great Valentine’s Day gifts at All Scented Candles.
I can’t believe that it is 2008, let alone the whole month of January has past us already! …What does that mean, everyone needs to get that gift for Valentine’s Day.
Valentine’s Day can make or break a relationship… Try doing something more than the typical flowers… Give something that will last longer!
My valentines gift idea is to give her a floral scented candle the match the flowers that you give her! Or, scented candles alone would make a lasting gift she can remember.
Popular choices include rose, lilac, lavender, jasmine, peony, and gardenia. Many believe that aromatic candles can actually benefit your health
According to Men’s Health, “Americans consume more calories as a nation on Super Bowl Sunday than on any other day of the year…” To be accurate, they state that by the time that the Super Bowl Game is over, “Americans will have downed 156 BILLION calories.” Yes, I did say BILLION, with a B. That is amazing!!!
So whether you are cheering for the New England Patriots or the New York Giants, my suggestion to you is to add in a veggie tray or some low calorie treats amongst those high calorie items.
Here are some ideas I have that your guests won’t even know:
Use light Velveeta cheese in the cheese dip.
Use Hidden Valley Ranch Lite, rather than the regular Ranch.
Use Light Butter in the Wing Sauce.
Check out the Men’s Health Guide to Super Bowl for all sorts of cool tips!
I think if you use your head while cooking up your grub for your party, we can come up with a game plan to save just a few calories and maybe, with all hope, we can save the American community a BILLION calories or so!
PS…Even though my Pittsburgh Steelers are not in the Super Bowl, I will be sitting in front of the TV with my Celery, Carrots and Light Ranch cheering for whoever is behind at that moment.
This aromatherapy candle is a perfect gift for any occassion, including the upcoming Valentine’s Day. Your Valentine will be excited to see that not only did you remember Valentine’s Day, but you remembered when his or her birthday was too!
These Astorological Aromatherapy candles are specially forumlated to ensure that you are surronded by the scents you were born to experience!
It is always nice to bring the host of the party a gift. It isn’t required, but always appreciated.
These beautiful, contemporary scented jar candles from Flare are the perfect gift! They come in a stylish glass jar with a silver lid and have a very unique, modern looking label that simply says “flare”.
You can find so many wonderful scented candles and candle accessories at www.AllScentedCandles.com.
