There was a time, when Alex first became ill, that we went from Dr. to Dr. looking for answers. Many times it ws a family affair…we would try to combine it with some fun things for all the boys to do.
Once we went to the University of Michigan for several days of testing. Donald, who at that time served on the local school board, also had a convention to attend about that time. So, we combined the two. The second trip was to Amarillo, Texas, and we knew the boys would love that.
Of course, it was quite a distance from this deep South town, so we decided we would fly. Bought tickets, packed bags, headed to the airport, and boarded the plane…all 5 of us. We were ready for answers and then a little adventure.
The only plane that flies out of here is the small commuter jets. They connect us to Atlanta. But, at this time they still had the propeller planes. This was Alex and Ian’s first flight, so they were really bouncing off the wall! We got them seated and buckled up. Adam had found a seat away from us because he was too cool to be seen with his parents and little brothers. All was ready…TAKE OFF!
We watched their faces and it was a mixture of excitement and terror. But, as they saw that no one was up in the aisles running and screaming…they settled down.
About 10 minutes into the flight, my ears started popping. You know the air pressure is not as good on those little planes. I offered Don a piece of gum and then leaned over the seats in front of us and offered the boys some. They declined. As we continue climbing…my ears were really stopping up bad. I was worried that the boys were uncomfortable, too. So, I leaned up over the seat again and said to them, “Boys, are you sure you don’t want some gum for your ears? It really helps.” My dear youngest son then proceeded to turn around in his seat, look me square in the eyes, and said, “Mom…if you think I’m going to put that gum in my ears…you are badly mistaken!”
I sat down…buckled my seat belt…told Don what had just happened. He and I laughed all the way to Atlanta!

Just a little modern day trivia for you today…
I’m sure by now everyone has seen this commercial! A child’s toys left in the car overnight, take a “Joy Ride”. Originally aired on the Super Bowl. 
Kia actually got the top wave runner rider in the country to do the stunts in the sock monkey suit.
And, here is sweet Sock Monkey sporting his new tattoo. One of the most clever parts of the commercial is the ‘sewing on’ of his new tattoo! Just look at those innocent eyes!
Also clever is having the robot doing a dance called….’the robot’, of course!
The funky music is “How You Like Me Now?” by The Heavy…originally by James Brown.
Lyrics used in the commercial
How you like me now?
Remember the time when I heat? you up?
So how you like me now?
How you like me now?
how you like me now?
Oh yes-ah
Yeah
Description
A colorful group of characters have some fun in Las Vegas in a montage that takes them bowling, bull riding, dancing, and more.
The red cyclops is Muno, a character from the Nick Jr. kid’s show Yo Gabba Gabba! The other characters in the ad include a hairy creature with a black & white striped shirt, a blue robot, a sock puppet monkey, and a teddy bear.
The group all fits into the 2011 Kia Sorento, and rides around some scenic locations. Some other adventures they have include: jet skiing, making snow angels, hot-tubbing with a bikini girl, getting a ‘MOM’ tattoo (actually sewed on), standing by the Las Vegas sign, riding down the street standing up through the sunroof, passing by the New York, New York casino, and arriving at the Monte Carlo casino.
The punchline to the ad is all the characters are a child’s small toys. The mom pushes the Start button and the music starts up again.

I know it is hard to believe, but, I just do not know how to get those videos on my posts. Well, that’s not exactly correct. I can get them on there…I just can’t get them to play! Which actually defeats the purpose of putting them on there in the first place!!! BUT, if you wish to see the complete commercial, one minute and 11 seconds…just google Kia Sorento Commercial.
And prepare to SMILE!!!

Did you have to get up too early this morning? Did someone call you while you were still in the middle of a sweet dream? Yep, happened to me, too. Painters coming to my house. Oh well…Have a good day, anyway!
No. This is not my dog, or my bed, or even my city…but, it sure made me smile!
Hope you do, too!

STOP !!!!!
Before you read any further in this post, go and get your lipstick. Get the one you use the most.
I’ll wait !!! Really, I don’t mind…….GO!!!
OK….here’s mine. The one on the Left is a Cl*n*q*e lip gloss that I use occasionally. The other tube, on the Right, is my favorite. It is by M*C…the color is ‘O’.
But, we are here to look at the shape your lipstick is in…and what that means to you. If your lipstick has:
A SHARPLY ANGLED CURVE…You’re an upbeat, creative talker who loves to be the center of attention.
SLANTED TIP THAT CLOSELY RESEMBLES THE TUBE’S ORIGINAL SHAPE…You’re thoughtful, conscientious and love to follow the rules.
SHARPLY ANGLED POINT…You’re opinionated, full of energy, and a natural born leader.
ROUNDED, SMOOTH TIP…You’re calm, easygoing, and a good listener.
******************************
This info is from the book 101 Makeover Minutes by Bennett. I have no idea if it is true or not. How could this be scientifically proved anyway? I mean, I am just not the same person everyday…are you? See, look at the two different tips. I am #1 and #2 ! So, this is shared with you only as a means of amusement.
******************************
Here’s a tip…experts say to try a new shade on your fingertips instead of the back of your hand or inside wrist. This is closer to your lips texture and color.
