What do you do?

I came across a dilemma today. When do you or do you ever say something to a complete stranger about a very suspicious looking mole? I was at the gym today after Zumba class (more on that later) and I saw a woman's back and she had a huge ( I mean like as big as the size of a pickle) mole in the middle of her back. As someone who has had skin cancers, I am uberconscious of funny looking moles. I had never seen the woman before and was on the way out when I saw her back but left there thinking what does one do.
Back to Zumba which is a really fun class with a lot of dance moves. The 45 minutes passes so fast and even me with my occasional achy breaky back feels energized afterwards.

I was so sad to hear about Heath Ledger this afternoon. I don't know his situation but just hate that he didn't get some help if that is what he needed. I pray that this be a wakeup call for some others who are in need of substance abuse and/or mental health treatment.

I don't usually comment on The View but I happened to be watching today since I was off for Martin Luther King Day and was annoyed by Elizabeth's attitude. The women were discussing Monica Lewinsky and Barbara was saying that she thought that people ought to give her a second chance instead of continuing to judge her for what happened ten years ago. She went on to say that she(Monica) had recently gotten her Master's degree and had been unable to find a job. Elizabeth said she has to pay for her poor choices,etc. I have usually always erred on the side of Elizabeth during previous disagreements but I just wondered if Monica had had an affair with a Republican ten years ago would she be more willing to give her a second chance. Something about her manner today just put a bad taste in my mouth.

Kinerase moisturizer



I was sent some samples of Kinerase moisturizer by Glam.com and I must say I this is a really good moisturizer. I have tried some of their other products but not this one. I get so confused by all of the different moisturizers and skin products these days. I know it would be simpler if I just found one product line and stuck with it but there all always new ones to try that make promises of younger looking skin, fewer wrinkles, etc. I saw the Housewives of Orange County today and it was the episode where some of the housewives went to the botox party. I have not completely ruled out ever trying Botox but never want to look like I have on a mask. If anyone has any can't live without products, please let me know.

The Sleeping Beauty Proposal



I just got finished with Sarah Strohmeyer's book "The Sleeping Beauty Proposal" and it was so funny. It was one of those books you don't want to put down and then are sad when you've finished reading. I am now excited to read some of her other books. In her acknowledgements she also referenced some other authors that I'm excited to check out also. I always love finding new (to me) authors and a whole new selection of books. It's like Christmas all over again.

Great ballet flats



I saw these great flats at Target and decided I better scoop them up even though spring is months away. I am not over winter yet but knew they would all be gone by spring.
Speaking of spring the weather here has been like spring which is not a good thing since it is January and is supposed to be cold. We rarely get snow but at least with cold weather there is the possibility.

Baby for Nicole and Keith


I was so excited to read that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are expecting a baby. I just wish them the best and pray that she has a wonderful pregnancy with a healthy baby at the end.

Dorothy Hamill has breast cancer


I was so sorry to see that Dorothy Hamill is battling breast cancer. I have always admired her and think she skates like a dream. She also never seems to age. I will certainly send prayers up for her.

On another skating note, Scott Hamilton lives right outside Nashville now. I went to the National Figure Skating Championship in Cincinnati in 1979 (I think) and saw him skate for the first time. I think it was one of his first National events.
