Cold Feet End TODAY!
Posted on | November 5, 2009 | 1 Comment
Cold Feet – END TODAY! When the temperature dips below 65 degrees my feet get cold. 
I shouldn’t complain…Fall in Northwest Florida is fabulous. It’s crisp and cool and the sun actually sets right over the Gulf of Mexico. It’s magnificent. But my feet still get cold when the temperature dips anywhere below 65.
My options are socks, shoes, slippers and I HATE them…NO way! Kozytoez is the my answer – the fleece blanket with a foot pocket keeps my “toez kozy” with plenty of luxurious fleece left over for my body! My friend, Graeme, is 6′7″ tall 
and says he’s never had a blanket long enough till now.
Me, of course, I use it on the sofa & when sitting at my desk but DON’T laugh…I use it on the beach because the pocket keeps my feet off the cool sand. Having a Kozytoez at the beach means I can stay until the last beautiful light leaves the sky. The sky AFTER the sunset is sometime the most spectacular. My Kozytoez keeps me kozy through the whole, entire event! And the sand just shakes right out when I have to fold it up and go home! 
When my feet are warm, my whole body is warm…even on the beach! And when the temp dips below 65 degrees…well, Kozytoez is my choice…what’s yours?
Car feet??? Some people will do ANYTHING to keep their feet warm…smart people use…

How do you stay kozy?
Shingles, what the heck? DON’T let it fester.

Shingles, oh my! Imagine a blistering rash along with stabbing pain and you’ll have an idea of what it’s like to have shingles. I used to think just elderly people got shingles.
The last thing I ever want to do is go to the doctor. No offense to my doctor friends, but there are sick people there! I broke down yesterday and took what I thought must be poison ivy (although I haven’t been playing in the forest!) on my elbow 
to Dr. Lisa Clark. And am I ever glad I did. She took one look and immediately said, “You’ve got shingles.”
How is that possible?
Usually appears on torso or neck. Key is to get to your doctor QUICKLY
I didn’t think my resistance was low. I don’t feel bad, maybe a little tired and thankfully my spots haven’t had that intense pain the websites describe. The spots did itch terribly but Sweet Husband had some wonderfully strong Cortisone cream that made that nasty itching stop. So I ALMOST didn’t go to the Doc!
And…Dr. Lisa tells me that she sees about ONE case every TWO weeks in her practice in the little town of Destin, FL. Some of the patients are in their teens. It’s NOT just an old person’s disease. That’s AMAZING.
KEY: Catch it early. She gave me meds that should knock it out very quickly. I just have flu like symptoms: weakness, achiness, headache. Nothing major.
LET IT FESTER: It can cause weird things like incredible nerve pain, nerve damage and even blindness. It can do horrible things left unchecked.
I didn’t know what I had but luckily something told me to GET TO THE DOCTOR and I’m glad I did. So now I’m just trying, hard for me, to slow down and take a nap under my Kozytoez. Thanksfully, I’ll be better soon.
Be aware if you or someone you love get’s a weird looking, sometimes painful. Now if you want more info, like what causes it, who’s most a risk for it etc., check out these websites. They have all the correct medical scoop that I won’t even try to relate.
Hope you don’t get it and if you do you get to the doc quick!!

Monarch Butterfly Catepillars: Don’t be mad that they ate your parsley!
Posted on | October 13, 2009 | No Comments
I was NOT the biology major. I got my only college D in that class and that thankfully by 1 point! 
The sister however, graduated top of her class in BIOLOGY so maybe I got my interest in nature through osmosis!!!
I’ve always loved Monarch Butterflies… colorful, gentle, beautiful, graceful…all those cool adjectives.
On the reverse, I DON’T like creepy, oowwwy, 
looking bugs in the garden. My first impulse is to KILL them because they are creepy.
NOOOOOooooooo don’t get out the bug spray even though they ARE going to eat ALL your parsley to the GROUND.
The good news: these funny yellow fat guys produce the beautiful Monarch Butterfly AND the parsley will grow back!!
I’ve watched these guys do their thing for several seasons and each year I plant more parsley so they can have some and so can I. This year, they ate it ALL down to the nubs FOUR different times this summer, Frankly, don’t care. These guys are cool. And yes, now the parsley is growing back!
They become big yellow FAT things coming from a little egg, then looking like a skinny pencil lead becoming about 2 inches long and fatter than a big pencil!!! You can see huge changes from day to day. Then they attach to a limb and build their Chrysalis.
This year I’ve had 4 batches of them ending with this last batch of about 40 or 50.
KEY Point: Don’t spray these cool dudes when invade your garden & eat your parsley next year. Just plant more parsley!
God is so cool and has SUCH a sense of humor. I have to remember NOT to get in His way with my bug spray!!! I have to slow down and even enjoy the creepy things He makes! But I draw the line at the cockroach! Those things are just creepy!
Now back to your regularly recorded programming. Science class is OVER!!!

Comfort at 35,000 feet makes travel to Italy, Hong Kong, or Cleveland a breeze! The top 11 gadgets required for travel!
Posted on | October 8, 2009 | No Comments
I love, love, love to travel. Every chance I get, just pop me on an airplane and I’m on my way! As much as I love traveling I love my travel gadgets! Travel can be stressful and I’ll do anything to be comfortable, especially when traveling over the big water…east or west!! So travel gadgets must produce or they aren’t worth me dragging them. The goal is to arrive rested, recuperated, refreshed and ready to see the sites!
Is one of the building facades an illusion? Who would want to miss this by arriving tired in Venice?
Here’s some tips:
1. Wear comfortable clothes. Women check out Chico’s. They have a wonderful line of clothing called “Travelers” that works great for travel. Mix and match pieces in black – the perfect travel color. It’s like wearing pajamas on the plane. You look as fresh when you arrive as when you took off! Guys you’re on your own…just make it tastefully comfortable!
2. Wear comfortable shoes. Shoes that easily slip on and off help circulation of your feet. Also they make getting through security a breeze.
3. Bring your own blankie! Nothing is better than cuddling up on a plane with your own kozy blanket and if it has a place for my feet it would be perfect. Bring along a Kozytoez – the polar fleece blanket with a foot pocket that folds into a pillow. When folded it fits perfectly in the side pocket of my rolling carry-on bag. It’s so nice to not have to worry about the airline running out of blankets or having to pay a fee for a potentially nasty blanket. Kozytoez washes beautifully so it will be ready for the next trip (after the nap on the home sofa of course!).
4. Block out the world. An IPOD is a necessity on a plane with great noise canceling Bose Acclaimed QuietComfort® headphones. Bring along a portable DVD player with your favorite movies or the latest TV season set. These gadgets are a necessity when the person behind you is 2 years old and very unhappy!
5. Sit by the window. Coordinate with your airlines when booking your ticket to sit by the window. The view is better so it feels a less claustrophobic and you have something to lean against when sleeping. Also, you’ll be disturbed less by your seat mate.
6. DRINK DRINK DRINK, WATER WATER WATER! The internal atmosphere on a plane dehydrates the body which can interfere with sleep. Buy a BIG bottle of water after the security check point so you’re ready. Caffeine and nicotine can stimulate the body and get in the way of being rested when you arrive. Remember that alcoholic beverages also dehydrate the body. Hold the celebratory drinks until you get to your destination.
7. Position yourself properly. Request a seat selection in the front half of the plane. It’s usually more stable during the flight so your rest is less disturbed with turbulence.
8. Food/Snacks. Pack some fun, low salt (remember dehydration) snacks for the munchies that come with boredom. But remember that you can’t take liquids through security. A big bag of Twizzlers is so fun. Some celery & carrot sticks, pretzels, string cheese & walnuts or almonds. Also, for longer flights contact the airlines to custom order your meal. It’s usually fresher if that’s possible!
9. The Book to take me AWAY! I want to get lost in a great story when no phone, email or doorbell can bother me!! And when a nap happens, I’m ready. It’s Heaven on an airplane! It might be a story about my destination or a classic I’ve wanted to slow down for. The NY Times Best Seller List is a wonderful place to start. Loading the books on a Kindle makes it so easy. Of course, a traditional book with real pages will also. Check out the reads at amazon.com. Some people bring along their favorite magazines. They do take up less packing room and it gets tossed when you’re finished but for me, I need the great story so the Kindle is my answer.
10. A napping MUST. An eye-mask blocks the light and makes lengthy naps more consistent. The worst is getting awakened by the bright sunlight streaming in the window into your eyes. It’s a jarring wake up and not pleasant!
11. Drugs? Sometimes the only way I can sleep on a plane is with some drugs. Over the counter anti-nausea and travel medicines along with my good book can often put me right out!
Don't arrive too tired to see the view from the Peak (Hong Kong)!
There are great travel deals available NOW! Take advantage & see the world. It’s so fun! Don’t forget the camera. Send pics of your favorite trips along with your favorite travel gadgets!
Happy Travels!
