Wanna be a genius? You know how the airline has their magazine in the pockets of all the seats --  I try to do the crossword puzzle on the first leg, if I can't finish -- I look at all the answers and try to memorize them.  

Then on the second leg of the flight - whenever someone sits next to me, I take out the mag, and immediately power through it.  I make sure they see me doing the crossword really fast so I look like a genius.  So much fun. 

Have a great WED!  Delana

The future is HERE.  We'll all be able to buy TERMINATOR glasses sometime in the next ten months.

According to some solid rumors, Google is working on glasses that will stream real-time information about whatever you're looking at, right in front of your eyes.  And they'll go on sale before the end of the year.

Like, if you're looking at the Empire State Building, they'll give you information about the building, local deals, whether you have friends nearby . . . stuff like that.

It works through a combination of GPS, a wireless connection, and a small built-in camera that monitors everything you're seeing in real-time.  And you can scroll and click by titling your head.  (???)

Supposedly they'll look like the Oakley Thump . . . the pair of Oakley sunglasses that have built-in headphones and an MP3 player.

Do you suffer from nomophobia? If you can't stand being away from your phone, then you probably do.

--Nomophobia is a new, made-up term that's short for "no mobile phobia." It started in Great Britain, where they call phones "mobiles."

--Symptoms include getting anxious when you don't have your phone, worrying about losing it, keeping an extra phone in case yours breaks, and bringing your phone to bed.

--Two out of three people in a recent survey said they have one or more of those symptoms, which is up 13% from a similar survey four years ago.

--70% of women say they're nomophobes, compared to 61% of men. And 77% of people under age 25 are nomophobic.

You know they talk about those moments in life that you will never forget? This weekend was full of those moments. I took a trip to Florida to see family - we went to Legoland - we went to Walmart, we played mini golf, we had a big steamed seafood dinner, spent time with my mom and dad, aunt, my brother and sister-in-law and my niece - really had a wonderful time. Everything just sort of clicked. Sadly I don't get to see my family as much as I should, or as much as I want to - life just gets in the way, you know. I try to appreciate and savor the little time I do have with them, 'cause it all goes by so fast. The moment that was my favorite this weekend: Stevie finally got a "a real bike" - she got a bike with two wheels. I can't describe to you how much fun she was having, and how much fun it was for me watching her ride her new bike! It was super cool and I felt really lucky to have seen and shared the moment.
