Yes, you read that right. For Mother’s Day all I got was a TORNADO to destroy my future home of residence. My new home, well would have been in a month, was hit by three F2 tornadoes. Just about every single tree is down in the area. Most of the trees took down the power lines, others landed on houses or cars. Only one person has been reported dead so that is a good thing. There is no power and it looks as if there won’t be any power for a week or two. My parents home had so many trees fall down or uproot that you couldn’t even see the grass.
The damage from the tornadoes are unreal. It looks like a photo from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. I swear to you, I can not even exaggerate it is that bad. The house that we are supposed to be moving into also took a good bit of damage. There was a deck on the back of the house that is just gone. I huge tree fell on it and in the process ripped a hole in the roof as well as take the whole part of the roof in the back off! I guess this will be delaying our moving plans. We just had the house retiled and new carpets put in.
So I just wanted to give you guys a little bit of a heads up just in case I am unable to post for the rest of the week. I am cleaning up storm damage and will probably be without power for a week. Just about every single power line has been taken down by a tree.
Since we have no power nor internet access, I am on the northside of town at a coffee shop, I have been taking lots of photos of the damage and chaos all over town. I will have them uploaded on flickr whenever I get back home which will be after I clean up our new home in hopes of making it able to be moved into by the end of the month.
Please keep us in your prayers!!!

So some of you may be wondering…Where did she go? Why hasn’t she updated? What is going on? Well the fact of the matter is that I have been dying to update but I have been too gosh darn busy too. You see I spoke before about moving and about how we needed to have a yard sale. Well, I got as much stuff together as I could and just went for it this weekend.
I think we did pretty good, we even sold our COUCH! Yes, seriously. We have no where to sit right now but that is Ok because that just means that I get to buy a new couch when I move. I am so excited, I am leaning toward either brown leather or red!!!
So all proceeds that we made at the yard sale will go towards adding new touches to our new home.
I will back on my regularly scheduled postings on Monday. Tomorrow is Mother’s Day, don’t forget to hug your Mama. I am taking a break from everything and laying in the fat wad of dough I made at my first ever yard sale with dreams of new furniture dancing in my head.

Norton 360 Version 2.0 is the ultimate protection for your PC. My husband has install this virus protection on all of our computers but unfortunately Norton does not work on Macs or I would be using it on my iBook as well. I have been a big fan of Norton ever since I have owned a computer. I didn’t use to be all about Mac but when it comes to PC’s Norton is on the top of my list for one of the top computer programs that you definitely must have.
So what all does Norton 360 protect? Norton protects your identity online as well as your computer from malicious websites that like to deposit harmful virus and spyware that can make a total mess of your computer if left unprotected. Trust me there has never been a day in my life where my PC computers were not protected via some sort of virus protection probably Norton which is why I still to this day haven’t had a huge problem with viruses or spyware (knock on wood).
You want to have a secure home, you also want to have a secure computer. Think about it how many hours and how much data do you transmit on a computer each day. Can you imagine the financial damage that can happen if it is not properly protected. Grab a copy of Norton 360 to protect you and your family for the next year.
Me & “Golden” are entering a photo contest where we have to display our bad habits. Yes, people I smoke. Don’t all the good writers smoke? At least that is what I tell myself. Anywho save the smoking lectures just revel in the art of photography. It is a pretty neat shot, huh? I won’t tell you the part that involves my lungs and throat burning after attempting ten times to get the perfect photo. That should teach me a lesson on not smoking right there. I will let you know when and where you can vote for my photo when they post them in a couple of days.
Look at those adorable gifts that I had custom made from Photoworks. Photoworks is an easy to navigate website that allows you to take your own photos or graphics in my case and create all sorts of completely customize photo gifts. I opted to use my Domestic Diva logo to create some coasters and a mousepad. You can easily take a photo of your children and make an awesome apron, t-shirt, or keychain with Photoworks for Mom on Mother’s Day!
The best part is that now Photoworks gives you the option of using your own Flickr photos which makes it ten times easier to create and place your order with ease. With the new Mother’s Day line of products you can rest assured that Mom will totally feel loved this holiday!
You all know how much I love honest product reviews, I mean Hello I write them for a living. Anyway, another blog that I came across the other day while investigating diet blogs was Sensational Diet. Sensational Diet is nothing but product reviews. Any product you want to know more about you can find at Sensational Diet. Definitely check this website out first before purchasing another diet product.
All of this talk of dieting and trying to find the right product for me has also made me do some research in the blog department. Sure there are several so called “weight loss blogs” out there but which ones actually live up to their name? Which one’s give you the facts on what you want to know and not just some persons experience with one particular product? While snooping the inner webs I came across one blog called Diet Blog Talk. For all you dieters out there as well as people thinking about going on a diet this is the place to start as far as I am concerned. One click and I was hooked, I was reading articles for hours. Want reviews of diet products, this is the place to get ‘em!!!
I have had my eye on detoxifying foot patches ever since I learned about their benefits from watching a television show on the health industry in Asia. I have a Cleanse Patch on the way to me that I hope to be able to tell you more about my experience when it gets here. Basically a Cleanse Patch is a pad that you put on the bottom of your foot when you go to sleep that will draw out all of the toxins from your body. Supposedly after you use one of these you immediately feel a difference. Foot patches can be a little on the steep side but I think it is a good price to pay if you are looking to better your health.
I will give you some more details when I am able to try this product out for myself. Is there anyone out there that has already tried the foot patches? Did they work for you?
