Your Mattress Is Alive!
I get health tips every day in an e-mail. This was today’s – just too gross to think about!
Your bed is crawling with life: 10 000 dust mites call it home. They live off the half litre of moisture you sweat out every night as well as bits of shed skin.
Take action:
Mites cause allergies. Use clean bed linen as a barrier between you and the dust mites and wash bedding every week at 60 degrees Celsius. Regularly air your mattress in the sun.
Last Day Of Work [2007]
I am so privileged to have leave from Monday onwards! Meaning today is my last day of work, and I get to go home early too! Nice! I’m sooo looking forward to this time off – though I won’t be doing NOTHING, I will spend most of my time on the wedding preparations.
I’m sure by now you’re all sick and tired of hearing about the wedding. 
I don’t blame you at all. So here’s some other interesting news.
I didn’t know that Santa has a scooter, but apparently, in Korea, there are a couple of Santa’s on scooters! South Korean postmen dressed as Santa drive away on bikes as they launch an event to deliver gifts to neighbourhoods.
I guess its a bit less mystical than the reindeer picure I’ve always imagined, but who cares if he still brings you nice gifts 
Shaking Off The Extra Kilo's
I’m desperately trying to lose some weight – just one dress size! I can’t believe how hard it is. I’ve been going to gym, eating less, drinking a lot of water, and still NOTHING.
Maybe I will consider the magnetic weight loss programs which I found online – LOL.
Not that I can explain how they work, but if it helps, who cares!?
Funnies For The Monday
From an e-mail I got a while back…
Ever spoken and wished you could take the words back, or that you could crawl into a hole?
Here are a few people who did
An insurance man visited me at home to talk about our mortgage insurance. He was throwing a lot of facts and figures at me, and I wanted to follow as best I could, so I asked my 6-year-old son to run and get me a pad. He came back and handed me a Kotex right in front of our guest.
I was taking a shower when my 2-year-old son came into the bathroom and wrapped himself in toilet paper. Although he made a mess, he looked adorable, so I ran for my camera and took a few shots. They came out so well that I had copies made and included one with each of our Christmas cards. Days later, a relative called about the picture, laughing hysterically, and suggested I take a closer look. Puzzled, I stared at the photo and was shocked to discover that in addition to my son, I had captured my reflection in the mirror – wearing nothing but a camera!
Have you ever asked your child a question too many times? My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room.
While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, and she was clean. Then I realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in a while, so I asked him if he needed to go, and he said “No.” I kept thinking, “Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don’t have any clothes with me…”
Then I said, “Danny, are you SURE you didn’t have an accident?” “No,” he replied. I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse. Soooooo! I asked one more time, “Danny, did you have an accident?”
This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over and spread his cheeks and yelled. “SEE MOM, IT’S JUST FARTS!!” While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing! He calmly pulled up his pants and sat down. An old couple made me feel better by thanking me for the best laugh they’d ever had!
