If you're a student or a parent of one who has the urge to travel (like I always did back in the day), you really need to go to an affordable student travel website like hemispheretravel.com. Hemisphere Educational Travel is a travel tour agency which offers international and US educational tour packages to students. When you go to their website you'll see they have US Tours, International Tours, Musicals and Plays and even custom tours. Go and tour the Big Apple or Washington, D.C. Or, if you'd rather, go see Big Ben and Westminster Abbey over in England. I was over there in 1994 for a Pink Floyd concert held in Earls Court and had the time of my life. I not only saw Big Ben and Westminster Abbey but also St. Paul's Cathedral, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, Piccadiliy Circus, the Tower Bridge and so much more! It was such an awesome trip!

There is nothing on TV tonight and I'm bored out of my mind! I keep thinking of things I *could* do but never actually get up off the couch to do them. It would make for a great list of things I need to get done on a day or night I feel more productive though. So here I sit with my laptop on my lap watching some episode of 2 1/2 Men (which I normally never watch and can't stand actually). Oy vei - it's going to be a long 6 weeks!

I need new window blinds for our sliding door in the den that leads out to our back lanai. Ours are all dented and yucky looking. I was actually going back and forth between blinds and curtains when I came across this website called No Brainer Blinds and found a set that I love. Their prices are in our price range too which is awesome. Of course I just had to keep looking on their site and I found some great room darkening ones that would work perfectly in all 4 bedrooms. I need darkness to sleep so I've been trying to find room darkening ones for a while now. These are what I've been looking for!

Sean left yesterday for his 6 weeks of work in Louisiana and the kids have been basket cases ever since. Especially my oldest. We all just got off the phone with Sean and both Caelie and Tristan sobbed getting off the phone with him and Tristan has been crying for the past hour. I hope this doesn't happen every night for the next 6 weeks. They're breaking my heart and Sean's.

With Sean gone for 6 weeks I'm trying to figure out a good way for a great homecoming for him. I've seen Yard Signs on people's lawns before for big events. Maybe we could have one made that says "Welcome Home Daddy" or something like that? I know that at BuildASign.com they have some great prices for custom made signs. I also noticed they make car magnets as well. I could then get two things from the same place: a welcome home sign for Sean and a car magnet for this website to get it advertised more. That is definitely a website to keep for future reference.

This is something I definitely need lately. I get these awesome daily aromatherapy tips in my email and most of them are keepers. This one is a definitie keeper!

Try applying 1 drop of the following essential oils directly to the acne. Oils to try are Tea Tree Oil, Lavender Oil, and Rosewood Oil. If you have
sensitive skin, you may need to dilute the oil with grape seed oil to avoid irritation. Apply the oil before going to bed and then wash it away, using
pure soap and clean water, in the morning.
