New Photo


Here is a recent photo of Billy the Beagle.
He is holding a rawhide twist in his mouth,
or as we like to say, a "smoke."

You Decide




Funky......or Freaky?




My Uncle John found came across this lamp at a garage sale last weekend. The more I look at it, the more it looks like Big Bird's green-feathered cousin or some of the other Muppets. Maybe it will be one of the items up for auction at the Power Family Reunion this Saturday.....

Celebrity Fit Club



During the middle of April, some of the people at work decided that we would have our own "Celebrity Fit Club" to motivate each other to loose weight. We all donated $25, and at the end of 12 weeks, whomever has lost the most percentage of body fat will win the money (which is about $250 total).




My first choice for my "celebrity persona" was Free Willie. However, animals were not an option. So, I decided to go with Ella Mitchell, whom you may recognize as "Big Momma" (Hattie Mae Pierce) from the movie Big Momma's House.



Other celebs include Oprah, Kirstie Alley, Queen Latifah and Walter Peyton. Most of us have made it up through six weeks. When we hit week seven, no one weighed in. The competition stopped at week seven for about three weeks.




This week we have collectively decided to start up again and have the final weigh in at the end of July. Time to get focused!

Guilty!

When it comes to bathroom singing, I am definitely guilty of indulging in this new sport. Even at a young age, I realized that singing in the bathroom made me sound 400 times better than when I sing...well, outside of the bathroom. I may not have realized the why behind it, but since I sounded like a rock star, I decided "why ask why?" --- just go with it! Shampoo bottles are great microphones...they do not slip out of your hands like the bar of soap can! ;)
