Glasses are part of my life as I am sure they are part of many of yours.  Recently while searching for frames I ran into the Zenni website. They have some great frames!

Last year I had a problem with a pair of Oakley’s that just would not stay together and they made my life miserable.

Now I have moved on and ended up with another pair of Oakley’s under their warranty but with the new year I am looking for a new frame. I found these that I thought were quite awesome. The best part is that they are under $50!

Normally I pay $300 for cool frames! I can buy even more Christmas gifts with they money I save on my frames!

If you wear glasses you should browse for eyeglasses here. When you find some you like be sure to comment and let me know which ones you like.

The nice thing about the pricing on the frames is that you can buy several pair and have glasses that go with different outfits, or have some for sports, formal dress or casual looks.

Good frame hunting and Merry Christmas!

First of all thank you to all of you who have read my blog either in person or on Google Reader. I have taken a bit of a hiatus.  Some things have happened in my life that made me stop and think about numerous things. During this time I have been very private and quite frankly have not wanted to share anything with anyone.

I will be working on a new series of posts over the Christmas Break that I hope to launch on January 1st.

Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year, may your dream and goals come true in 2012.

Today was a sad day in our family. Our cousin was tragically killed in a work accident. He leaves behind a great family. He has a son 5 years old and a daughter 1 year. He was a hard working young man that did not drink or smoke. In fact he had recently attended a marriage retreat with his wife, which to me is a testament to his dedication to family. 

He was 31 years old and worked at a company in Freeport, Texas that repairs boats and barges.  You can read the story here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42392765/ns/local_news-houston_tx/

Morning Blues

If only kids came with an instruction manual like the Silverado. This is a photo of Stickman and Porkchop in the morning. The bed head is standard fair for the morning, along with the whiney attitudes.

Now to be fair, Stickman gets going and handles his duties in the morning easily. Porkchop on the other hand, presses my buttons every morning.

So to combat the whining without yelling or bringing out the 3’ paddle, I started video taping the fits. Now do not get your hopes up, I will NEVER post any of these videos. I told Porkchop that I would be recording his little whine-fits and then we would review the tape, just like in football. Problem 98% solved.  Occasionally he will act up and I mention the video tape and he will stop. You just have to love technology.

Good Food

I get a lot of complaints from Mama that I do not cook healthy enough or with a wide enough range of foods. So I have started cooking some foods that are different.  This is a recipe that I made up one afternoon. It was a great light sandwich and the kids loved it!

iPod + Silverado = Awesome

When asked what my favorite feature of the Silverado is, I have to focus in on the awesome iPod jack. This is not just an iPod jack. When you plug your iPod into the jack it becomes fully integrated into the Silverado.

You can control every part of the iPod seamless from your steering wheel controls. Browsing through your playlists, artists, albums, genres or podcasts is super easy.

You can select individual songs or shuffle the entire iPod.  In addition the speakers are awesome! I have to admit that I pushed the limit on the audio system the other day while coming back from dropping off Porkchop. I cranked up Pillar – Bring me Down, rolled down the windows and enjoyed a great jam session. – Spark Dad
