Each peanut M&M equals walking the length of one football field? Tell me it isn’t so!
In This Post
My Smudge informed me of this random urban legend (?) after we brought home the remnants of a 5 lb. Costco bag from the cabin last weekend. It’s been sitting on the shelf in the kitchen. And you know what that means, because it’s sitting open. And every time one of us walks by, we dip our hot little hands into the bag to fish one (or half dozen) peanut M&Ms out of the bag. In fact, I had JUST peanut M&Ms for dinner one night. And no, I’m not kidding.
So this football thing? I had to look it up. And lo and behold, her useless (read: I’d rather ignore than admit) factoid is indeed true. In fact, the truth is even worse. Read about it here.
This weekend we’ll be heading to South Eastern Utah, to the land of prehistoric red rocks and aging punk rock bands for my husband’s reunion show. Rock on crouton!
Happy Friday everyone, and on to this week’s links…

A super luxe leather handbag (love the simple strap!) that will charge my phone but keep me looking super suave and in style? I need one of these!
Etsy find of the week: Loving these beautiful linen napkins.
Whichever marketing genius came up with the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is going to get a serious promotion. I can’t turn a TV on or boot up a computer screen without seeing it mentioned! This challenge adds some nice liquid courage, these are the best epic fails who would have been better off simply donating money . But if it’s true what Pamela Anderson says about ALS research, I may have to take another look.
9 style rules every working woman should follow. Rule #5 is my nemesis unless my husband does the dirty work.
She’s got ultimate style and says it best that “I approach aging with ice cream and a martini,” but I’m jonesing to buy what’s on her list of beauty products.
Don’t anyone tell them summer’s over. My Smudge and her gal pals are still having way too much fun in the looming shadow of the countdown to school. Yes, that’s me on the left bringing in the darkness.
School is officially here. I like these pics and tips for creating a great homework station.

This desk is SO smart! Super stylish and hides cords or favorite place to hoard office supplies so the rest of the fam or team keeps their paws off!
You just can’t take kids anywhere these days. Especially The French Laundry according to this 4 year old.

P.S., thanks to everyone for your emails, tweets and words about my new bionic wrist. I hope this pic doesn’t gross you out, if so, just think if you had to look at it every day! Maybe I’ll finally get that tatoo I’ve never, ever wanted so I can cover up the scar. I do know one thing for sure, a manicure is in order!

Get magnetic sponsoring
In a manual like “Magnetic Sponsoring”, the information has to be generic and serve
as a guide designed to help even the newest network
marketer to become a magnetic sponsor. So I don’t have an electric guitar anymore; all mine are acoustic.
He realised that he could develop excellent associations with people from all over the world.

The 4 year story is nuts!!

The courses have arrived and already students are raving about their results.
– How to position yourself for an expert to find and attract your best prospects who are definitely motivated and ready and willing to
do what it takes to build a company. By giving your presentation, calling prospects, distributing business card everywhere,
you are unconsciously adopting what I call the hunter or seeker business model.
