When I first saw the 'Bagel Head' I thought, idea for Halloween. But come to find out this is the hot new trend in Japan. Folks are shooting their forheads with saline to created a 'Bagel Head' look on purpose. I think that trumps the '80s hair crimping trend that's coming back as way SCARY!! National Geographic did a special on them. Anyone up for a 'Bagel Head Party!".. LOL.. I'm not getting this as something cool to do to yourself.
This surprised me with having the sinus head, stuffy/runny nose, sneezing and the frog in the throat effect, depending on the day, the past few weeks that Austin only came in at #47 (42 last year) this year on the Top 100 list of cities with challenging Fall allergies. San Antonio (15) & McAllen Texas (5) both made it in the Top 20.Click here to see the entire list! Bless you a head of time if you feel like sneezing.
I've been hearing and seeing these pop up lately. So I checked it out. Heels, that can be flats or vice versa. You can have the classy heels, but if your feet hurt, or you need some comfort, switch them to a flat. They run around $99-$129! Check these out. Camileon Heels...Pretty cool!
I ran into this list this morning and thought I would share, although I'm not sure why it's not an even 20. If you are having one of those hump days, hang in there. Do something that makes you Happy today. :)
Here's one of my favs from the list, not sure being it's #13 if that means anything.
13. Go outside at least once a day, and if possible, take a walk. The sunlight and activity is good for your focus, mood, and retention of information.

Recent Carrie Underwood show, a 12 year old boy requested his first kiss be from Carrie! That's a big first kiss memory.
My first kiss like this was on my swing set by the neighbor boy Ladd. We were swinging and he surprised me with a kiss on the lips. I was 4. Wow, that's a bit young huh. My first reaction was 'EEEWWW Boy Germs!' Do you remember your first kiss?
The Emmy awards had some unexpected surprises. Top 2, Mad Men being nominated for 17 nominations and not winning ANY.. not 1 Emmy win. That's pretty unexpected and also gets them the top honors for BIGGEST LOSER at the Emmys. Another surprise was the 'Lead Actor in a Comedy Series' category.... Although I'm happy he won, because Jon (Duckie) Rocks!! Click here for the list of winners... you could run into some more surprises!
Of course I gotta whip out this AWESOME FLASHBACK!! DUCKIE ROCKS!!
