Craziest Houses Throughout The World!!

In the midst of my online holiday shopping last night, one pop up lead to another and I wound up at www.2spare.com where the title "Stange Houses Around The World" caught my interest.

I will let everyone make their own judgements, but I think we would all agree that any of these homes would make a pretty cool listing!! Take a break from your hectic schedule and check these out.

1. Space Ship

2. There was an old woman who lived in a shoe!

3. This makes me dizzy just looking at it!

4. Who wouldn't like to live in a sand castle??

5. How would you even get to this house?

6.

7.

8. Looks like 2 houses smashed together.

10.

Hopefully you all get a kick out of this just like I did. Let me know what you think!!

** The Mountain Top Caste is my favorite - hands down.... What's Yours??? ****

Make it an Awesome Day!!

Happy Thanksgiving to All !!!!! ~~~ Beware Family Awkwardness!!!

Just a quick blog to wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving!!

I also wanted to leave you with a funny blurb I found on CRACKED.Com. I got a ton of responses on my best and worst haloween candy blog that I wanted to do something similar for Thanksgiving.

I didnt find a good chart, but I did find something unexpected in the "Bad For You" Section of the article. Enjoy!!!

FAMILY AWKWARDNESS

Not so much a food as a Thanksgiving staple, family awkwardness is quite possibly the most enduring tradition of the holiday. When Abraham Lincoln made Thanksgiving a national holiday, he said, "On this Thanksgiving day, we proclaim that you must talk to your relatives and pretend to enjoy it." So whether it's trying to avoid broaching the topic of the recent elections, listening to your uncle talk about every detail of his recent knee surgery or simply the pointing out of things going on television ("Oh look, it's the Garfield balloon." "Yeah. They had one last year, too."), things are bound to be more than cringe-inducingly uncomfortable. At least they (or you) will be dead soon. No hats, but certainly several therapy bills are in order.

Make it an awesome day & an awesome holiday!!

CopyDoodles are great for sparking fresh ideas. I have heard from several CopyDoodles customers that just having the vast library of triggers, phrases, and expressions gets their copywriting juices flowing.
CopyDoodles are fun to use! Be careful though, using CopyDoodles can become addictive.

My Trip To The Phillies World Series Parade!!

Phinally!!!! If you haven't heard the news yet, you've been living under a rock, The Philadelphia Phillies won the 2008 World Series! It didn't take me more than a few seconds to realize that this is an event that does not come around more than once or twice in a life time, and I was going to make the most of it.

After watching the final game on the edge of my seat, I was so thirlled that I decided to take part in the festivities. Me, my daughter Kalee and my son Connor, all woke up early this morning, snatched up some new phillies gear and headed for the train. It was the most chaos I have seen in my entire life. Trains filled to the brim with excited Phillies fans all trying to play a part in history. It was an amazing feeling, and I will never forget it.

From the train station to Broad Street you couldn't move an inch, and as far as the eye could see it was just red red red. As fun and exciting as everything was, the father in me couldn't help but keep my kids glued to my side. And the firefighter in me couldn't help but expect the worst with 2 million people, half of them drunk, all trying to catch a glimpse of the parade.

Strangely enough we got a decent view. We watched for a while, screamed our lungs out, talked to a couple Phans and were ready to head home.

As hectic as this day was, I wouldn't trade it for the world. I shared something with my kids that they will remember for the rest of their lives, as will I. I also shared something with all of Philadelphia. And I can finally say, that it in fact DOES pay off the be a Philadelphia Phillies Phan!!!

Make it an awesome day! ( I know I did)
