I love reusable shopping bags!

I do. I really do, but I only have a couple. Actually, I HAD a couple until my daughter packed for college. She had books and magazines in one bag and clothes stuffed in the other. So I decided I needed to buy myself two or three and hide them. When I googled reusable shopping bags I found a blog that was giving away a Yoga Mom Grocery Bag. The bag looks roomy and strong. Needless to say, I'm entering and my fingers are crossed. You can enter too by going here: Naddez's Goody Corner. While you're there, take a look around this fun blog! Thanks Naddez!

I just found another shopping tote giveaway at Confessions of a Psychotic Housewife. This blog is full of honest reviews and giveaways, as well as thrifty deals. Gotta love that! Go enter and check out this great blog. Oh, I think the author has a corgi or two. As a fellow corgi owner, I feel a kinship!

What a Summer!

It's August and I have just one question - What happened to June and July??? And hasn't this been a news filled summer? Michael Jackson and Farrah, Jon and Kate, Palin, Sotomayor, the gym shooting, universal health care... (and here's where I'm gonna insert a little something to think about: Norman Mattoon Thomas (November 20, 1884 - December 19, 1968) was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America.

The Socialist Party candidate for President of the US, Norman Thomas, said this in a 1944 campaign speech:

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every principle of our socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without ever knowing how it happened." He went on to say: "I no longer need to run on the Socialist Party ticket because the Democrat Party has now adopted our platform.
)

Anyone who isn't worried about the direction our country is currently headed should take a few days to read a bit of history and think about the future of their children.
