So, I blogged when I decided to sign up for Twitter and now I have hit the social networking experiment road again. This time I've decided to sign up for Facebook. It's only been 3 days now and I'm still a little confused by where I need to make comments. There are spaces for comments to specific people, comments in general and private messages. Are they kidding me? You know I may say some crazy stuff and send it out to the world in a minute. I had to call and friend yesterday just to get a Facebook tutorial. And as if it's not confusing enough on the computer, I've decided to download the app on my BlackBerry. Like I need to try to figure it out on a small screen. I did make a mistake and put a comment in the wrong area. But it only happened once and I just conveniently went to the computer and deleted it. Like it never even happened. But that's what I get for using the BlackBerry. They don't even give you all the options for comments like they do on the computer. We'll as far as I know. Hell maybe they do. You just gotta check back with me on that statement. I do think I may talk a little too much for Facebook crowd though. But it could be that I'm just on there at opposite times than other people. But you know me, I only have small pockets of free time. I don't have a large window or anything. Hell I'm typing this during red light stops. Anyway, I'll continue to blog about it every now and then as I learn what's so special about it. I did see a couple of people that I have really missed in my life. So that's a plus. And of course "Hubby" wants to sign up now. Like I can help him out in any way. But I think it will be a good thing as long as people don't think I'm crazy for my some of my out of nowhere comments. Holla.

For All the Parents Without BUDGETS...

I found a great website for parents who absolutely have NO budget. The website is http://www.poshtots.com/. They have everything from clothes and shoes to baby and children's furniture. I just took a quick glance at the site but I think the most expensive thing I saw was a $75,000 Coach. This thing is definitely made for a princess. It comes with seats, wheels, canopy etc. Can you even imagine. I know I post a lot of pricey things on my blog, but I don't even think I would buy this if I could. It just seems to me like a waste of money. They must not know that "kids are destructive". Anyway, take a look at a couple things I've posted just to give you and idea of the caliber of things were talking about here. Who knows, maybe you'll find something you want to splurge on. Holla.

$3,849 - Princess Coach Iron Crib

This crib is what actually brought me to the site. I thought is was nice and wanted to see how much it cost. And from that point on, I was just sucked into the rest of the site.

$14,450 - A miniature dollhouse inspired this English Tudor Cottage bed. This custom made Tudor playhouse bed looks just like a real house. Bed size can be twin, full or queen.

$19,995 - Fantasy Carriage Crib $15,470 - Princess Castle Playhouse Loft Bed

Reflecting on 9/11...

All my thoughts, love and prayers are with all the families of 9/11. Here I've inserted a couple of pictures of the reflecting pool at Ground Zero. For the families, the memories of 9/11 is an everyday struggle. May they find the strength they need in God to continue to guide them through. The hardest thing to watch is the children who either were to young to know there loved ones or were old enough to know exactly what happened. Either way they have lost a great deal; and children should never have to go through things like this. You all are ALWAYS in my prayers and you are NEVER forgotten. God Bless You.

What a dunk...

As you all know, I am a BIG basketball fan. Usually only NBA but when I see something as unique as this dunk I gotta post and share. I live for the dunk competitions. I should be at the table right next to Kenny Smith with a number card cuz I judge as harsh as they come when it comes to dunks. You've got to bring some originality and above all execute. For those of you who are not basketball fans, Guy Dupuy has literally combined 3 dunks to make this one spectacular dunk. This is a bounce pass to himself, over another player and between the legs. WOW. Holla.

The Secret Life Of Bees

Okay, I got one more for you. Seems like I've watch a lot of television this weekend, but I really haven't I am just informing you on the good stuff. You know you can count on me for all the good stuff. Anyway, I saw this movie that I've been wanting to see ever since the cast appeared on Oprah. The movie is called "The Secret Life of Bees". Directed by Love & Basketball's director Gina Prince-Bythewood. I may be late since I did have to wait until it came on HBO to see it, but I can still comment on it if I want to:). Anyway, it was really good. I was very impressed with DaKota Fanning. She was great as was Alicia Keys. I thought she played the hard role very well. So if you haven't had a chance to check this one out, then do so. It's really a good one. Holla.

Pranked...

Okay, one more for tonight. Since I can't seem to get on here like I should. But I happened to run across another good show tonight. This one is called "Pranked" it airs on MTV. This show is crazy. It is all about what MTV calls the best pranks ever caught on camera. Hosted by collegehumor.com's Streeter Seidell & Amir Blumenfeld, it is hilarious. This is definitely one to check out. Airs Thursday's at 10:30pm. Holla.

The Oprah Effect...

Had to get on here and talk about a show I watched today on CNBC. The show was entitled "The Oprah Effect". It was talking about the effect Oprah Winfrey has on businesses. For many of the business that were featured, they all gained extreme after being featured on The Oprah Show. Many were either noted as one of Oprah's favorite things or were invited guests of the show to promote their products. One company, Carol's Daughter (a fragrance company) which appeared on Oprah grew from a 2 million dollar a year business to a 20 million dollar a year business with Jada Pinkett Smith, Mary J. Blige as spokes models and Jay-Z and Beyonce as investors. They are also in the process of beginning international business.

The next company featured was We Take the Cake. A mail order bakery on the verge of bankruptcy until they received a call from Oprah producers to appear on the show as one of Oprah's favorite things. Within minutes of appearing on the show, the phones of the bakery were ringing non stop and the servers and website crashed. They had over 10,000 orders in a week.

So how serious is the Oprah effect. Does it really exist. Can it happen to anyone. If you had a chance to pitch a idea to Oprah, how do you think it would change your life. Would you even be ready? For the people I saw on this show, they had no idea how fast their business was going to grow and they weren't ready. But they are very happy now. All thanks to 1 person. What an influence. Everybody knows how much I love Oprah so I believe. Then again, we should all know the power of Oprah because she was the first person to endorse Barack Obama. And you see how that turned out.
