Eating Spiders


OK, so I just read something horrible online. 'People eat an average of 8 spiders in their sleep.' Ummmm....what the heck? Does anyone actually believe this? Are there people that actually believe that it is reasonable that a spider would willingly climb into a sleeping person's mouth? Now granted, spiders don't seem all that smart (have you ever flipped on a light in a room just to see a spider freeze in the middle of the floor or wall. He buddy, just because you aren't moving, doesn't mean I can't see your arachnid but hanging out in the middle of my kitchen floor!). But I just find it hard to believe that any spider would kamikaze itself into some one's mouth. Any way, I guess it doesn't matter too much. I have a newborn so it isn't like I sleep much anyway...

The Quest Continues...


Well, we are still trying to teach Gina Mandarin. I found a show that she absolutely loves on NickJr called 'Ni Hao, Ki-Lan'. She calls it 'Ye Ye'. That is how you say 'grandpa' in Mandarin and she loves the grandpa on the show. She has even learned a few words in Chinese from watching the show. It also has an added bonus for me...the show isn't obnoxious like a ton of the cartoons on TV. It's actually pretty cute. Anything that makes my daughter happy while not driving me completely crazy is a good thing!

Cool Twilight Gift Idea from 1800Flowers!

I know a ton of people who are rabid Twilight fans. If your wife or girlfriend is one of the rabid...LISTEN UP!!! 1800Flowers has the perfect Valentine's gift. And the best part is, it basically requires no effort on your part and you'll pretty much look like a superstar! 1800Flowers now has a cool Twilight flowers DVD offer. I, personally, have not used 1800Flowers yet but I did see that MSNBC did state that 1800Flowers has honest and clear up-front pricing! I can appreciate that because it seems that other Internet flower sites really nickel and dime you during the checkout process. Suddenly, your $50 order of flowers is $80 once you add the vase or other extras that they try to push on you!

Seriously, if there is someone special in your life who really loves the Twilight books or movies, consider the Twilight Valentine Bundle from 1800Flowers. There are two different packages at two different price points so you are bound to find something that fits into your budget. A budget-friendly gift that your wife or girlfriend will love...what more can you ask for!!!!
