Hot Women American Perspective

Here is an email I received from a buddy of mine. :-D For those that don't know about history...... here is a condensed version. Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter. The two most important events in all of history were: 1. The invention of beer, and 2. The invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: 1. Liberals 2. Conservatives. Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed. Some men spe

Sounds dry, doesn't it. Yep. It is dry. Boring. But a necessary fact of life. Especially if your family photos and memories are stored on the computer. Can you believe I have been using computers this past decade and *today* is the first day I have ever created a backup of my computer? I'm not proud of that. But I *am* proud of myself now, because this process has taken some effort. First the shopping. No, scratch that. First the discussions with DH. Starting months ago. No, please don't buy a portable hard drive, I have a leftover one at the office. Weeks later, one appeared on the desk. Months go by. Strange hardware and cables sitting on the desk. Guilt. Finally I tried it and the computer did not recognize the hard drive at all. Went to the website and it seems that they stopped making software updates for it in 2004, and it won't talk to XP at all. So as far as my computer is concerned, it doesn't exist. And it never will. Oh, and the stick

My doc called today with the results of my recent physical. Everything checked out great. And my blood work was wonderful. Cholesterol 148, triglycerides 85, HDL 54, and LDL 77. Everything was within normal limits. He says I should keep doing what I am doing diet-wise. And if I wanted to eat a few more treats, that would be OK. WARNING: Stop here if you have a weak stomach. When I was younger, I used to eat a lot more red meat, butter and whole milk. Then in the 1980s I decided to cut back on that, and gear more towards chicken and fish and vegetables. In the mid 1990s I attended chiropractic college, where I took Anatomy. This consisted of lots of study, and a cadaver dissection that lasted 8 months. It was this lab portion that affected me even more strongly and changed my eating habits forever. Seeing the difference between healthy bodies and fatty bodies was shocking. I remember one female cadaver in particular who was overweight. It was very difficult to perform the

Some traditions are too precious to let go of. Our family activity yesterday consisted of baking Criss-Cross Peanut Butter Cookies. The 3 little boys "helped". And they loved it. I remember baking this same exact recipe with my grandmother in Chicago when I was their age. And as I think about it, she rarely just presented us with homemade cookies. She did the baking with us. I think she used it as an activity to entertain my brothers and I as well as a way to make homemade treats for us. And the effort was not lost on my boys, especially the 9-y-o. He has thanked me repeatedly since yesterday for taking the time and effort to bake those cookies. He loves them and loves doing family projects. DS had his last day of horse camp today. All week he has spent 4 hours a day grooming, riding and learning about horses. He continues to enjoy the Jujitsu classes. And his Hawaiian vacation with his father went well. I can see that the spark has come back into his eyes. The

My daughter has safely arrived in Italy. She called me on Skype this morning from her new room. She is staying in a woman's home whose two daughters grew up and moved out. Now this lady has my daughter and another gal from UCLA, my daughter's friend, staying in separate rooms with her. The one thing we forgot to get for my daughter was a plug adapter, so she will try to find one today over there. Or I will have to get one at Radio Shack and mail it to her. In the meantime, they have full internet access and by borrowing her friend's adapter, she was able to call me on Skype with the full webcam/audio. The boys and I sang Happy Birthday to her, as today is her 20th birthday. Happy Birthday, Sweat Pea! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

Busy here. DD is visiting. I will say goodbye to her after lunch today. She flies out tomorrow morning. She said goodbye to the boys this morning when they left for school/camp. I got a cute cell phone pic of the 4 of them hugging. But I have so much to do to get Baby A ready and get ourselves over to pick up her brother so we can all go out to lunch. Sorry so hurried. I'll post more later.

I don't know what to make of Mischa Barton's Mercedes Benz Polo Event outfit. She wore a tan colored 60's swing style leather jacket with a yellow printed dress and brown braided bag. She kept it young, fresh and this is original 'Mischa Barton' style. BUT there's just something frumpy about this look, perhaps it's loose cut or maybe she should have traded in the miu miu ballet flats for something a little dressier like wedges? I don't know...i like the outfit but there is something that is turning me off it.. Mischa Barton can sometimes make odd fashion choices, but the girl knows how to pick out a great designer purse. Just look at her adorable Chanel “Lucky Charms” purse. The black quilted handbag comes with a long braided chain and leather shoulder strap as well as whimsical gold charms. It’s youthful while packing a lot of high fashion cred, which means it’s the perfect choice for a young starlet like Mischa.

I am really loving this look that Kate Bosworth was sporting yesterday. She wore a strapless blue heart neck dress with a white tank. Its a great way to dress down what could be really formal dress. Victoria Beckham was seen wearing this style last season as well in a cream Miu Miu dress. I really like the way Kate Bosworth wore it, it's a style to try out for the upcoming Australian summer! loving this look that Kate Bosworth was sporting yesterday.

Leggings have been a big hit for the last couple of months, then the runways introduced colored leggings, then metallics and now latex and the high street is bringing them to the masses! But Latex is making it big. From Kate Moss at the Glastonbury festival to Hilary Duff preforming live and now Claudia Schiffer is rocking latex leggings in Russian Elle Magazine. The look is quiet cool, but the over-exposure of the look may deem it too tacky too soon.

During an the OK magazine photo shoot, Britney Spears had a severe breakdown a couple of months back in which a ton of clothing and accessories went missing. On this particular day Britney also smeared fried chicken over a brand new Spring 2007 Versace Gown. As bazaar as it sounds, this chicken stained dress is being Auctioned on Ebay by Ok magazine as we speak. All proceeds go towards the charity Mothers Against Drink Driving, so if your a Britney fan, fried chicken fan or a want to help towards a worthy cause you can bid on the dress which started at US $1500.

There is a new blog link on the left down there. The one titled "my daughter" will take you to my daughter's new travel blog. It will be fun to read about her overseas adventures. Hopefully being able to read her blog and chat with her on Skype will keep me from going though too much pain from missing her. I know that when I was a foreign exchange student to Sweden, one of the most painful parts was that I was almost completely cut off from my family. There were one or 2 phone calls to/from my mother the whole time I was there. Cut off from my family and my culture. I was about 16 years old. I remember watching {edit: on television} the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana over there. And watching {on TV} John McEnroe beat Bjorn Borg in tennis. The family was awesome. They taught me how to windsurf. It turns out that the COLD water of Sweden makes a great incentive to stay up on the board ;-) Here is a picture (not mine) that shows Lake Malaren just as I

I am against aesthetic plastic surgery. I don't like it. What got me going this morning was an ad I saw in a community coupon magazine. The ad showed a young lady in a white string bikini. She looks young and attractive, with small breasts, like a brunette swimsuit model. I assumed the ad was for laser hair removal, but there are coupons to the right of the picture for Breast Augmentation $3,299, Liposuction $899 each area, Tummy Tuck $1,000 off, Refer A Friend get $250 off any procedure, and Brazilian Buttock Lift $2,000 off. Eeeeew! Is there a law against false advertising? Shouldn't these companies be forced to use women in the pictures who have actually HAD these procedures??? Show the impossibly large breasts, fish lips and other mutilation that they are actually proposing to do? As a mother of a daughter who has to live in our society, I take pride in the fact that she does not plan to alter her body any time soon with surgery. And she is an unapologetic brune

It is no secret that Vanessa Minnillo wants to become an actress. She was very verbal about the fact that she wanted to make the transition into acting. She got her first chance when she appeared in Fantastic Fourflick, 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, and she loved it!. Now she was working at ET and MTV. "When I was on the set of Fantastic Four, I loved it. I respected everyone's work ethic. It was like a mini-family, and I want to continue doing it, whether it's action or comedy or action-comedy. I can pull off physical comedy; I'm athletic enough not to get hurt easily," Minnillo tells Vegas Magazine. "I got to do MTV for four years, ET for two years, then left to put my heart into other things for a while. I just love new experiences. I was an air-force brat that attended eight different schools in my first nine years of school, so I feel I can adjust to anything," she adds. "Acting is a different way to entertain people. Most people know how to be

And here is my lovely daughter. We had fun getting ready for the picture day. I took her to get her hair cut and professional makeup at the mall. It was a great mother-daughter day, complete with Mongolian Barbecue for lunch. Mmmmmm! For those who don't know about her already, she is a UCLA student and she leaves next week for 4 months in Rome on the semester abroad program. Her boyfriend is a Marine and he re-deploys to Iraq for the 3rd time this Autumn.

I felt that this picture deserves its own post. I am in awe. What happened to my little boy? How did he grow up like this? His expression in this picture is very representative of his personality. Open, friendly, kind, generous. And did I tell you he just aced his SAT test? He beat everybody in the family. I mean everybody. And we are no slouches. He hopes to study physics in college. He fills out his college applications this fall. I'll keep you posted.

Currently listed in the Guinness World Records as the "world's richest supermodel", Gisele Caroline Nonnenmacher Bündchen , is a Brazilian supermodel. Since her introduction onto the fashion scene in the '90s she has appeared on thousands of billboards and magazine covers, as well as numerous TV and print ads. Gisele is currently the face of more than 20 brands from different countries such as United States, Russia, Brazil, Italy, France, Mexico, Spain, Turkey, South Korea, Germany and Switzerland. According to Forbes magazine, she made $33 million in 2006, adding to her estimated $150 million fortune.

I expected to have a video phone someday. I just didn't know it was going to be today. I mean really today. My daughter came over and took me out to buy webcams, and she signed us up for Skype. She wants to video/phone with me when she is in Rome. I was skeptical, but we have been using it and it is WONDERFUL. And FREE. That is the shocking part. FREE. If both parties are calling on their computers, the phone call is free to anywhere in the world, and it is on video. The only time you pay is if you call to a land line. Welcome to the Future.

I think I was a good sport. DH asked if I wanted to go to a car show. My first reaction was, of course, No. But I stopped myself. Didn't I have more fun at the air show a couple of months back than I thought I would? Am I not a mother of many young boys who really like these sorts of things? Would it perhaps be a nice experience for the family? I went. But I tried to impress DH with the thought of how open-minded I was being. I told him that I was happy to be going to the car show. And the next time the craft show was in town, I expected him to go with me with no complaints. He let out a big guffaw! The funny part is that I don't ever go to craft shows. I just wanted him to understand it from my point of view. ;-) I have always thought there was something sexy about the De Lorean. This one makes for a nice, colorful picture. At ease, boys.

This has been an internet sensation and the corresponding book has been a bestseller. If you have not seen it yet, I assure you it is well worth the 1 hour and 16 minutes you will devote to watching it. :*) Last Lecture Randy Pausch died on July 25, 2008 at the age of 47. I particularly liked his lecture. I spent many years in academia and he reminds me of the best teachers/professors I had. He wanted to take a big, delicious bite out of life and teach the art of living to his students and his children. The New York Times wrote, Last September, Dr. Pausch unexpectedly stepped on an international stage when he addressed a crowd of about 400 faculty and students at Carnegie Mellon as part of the school’s “Last Lecture” series. In the talks, professors typically talk about issues that matter most to them. Dr. Pausch opened his talk with the news that he had terminal cancer and proceeded to deliver an uplifting, funny talk about his own childhood dreams and how to help his children and
