Kayleigh’s Musings

I am not a morning person.  I make no secret of that.  I always warn people if they’re going to have to be around me first thing in the morning I’m not sociable, I’m not coherent and I’m not particularly articulate.  I hate alarm clocks that buzz to wake you up.  That will really set my mood off!  And I don’t think I’m alone.  Now there’s a French designer who has developed a more gentle and civilized way to get you out of bed.  He has developed an alarm clock that makes coffee, dispenses juice and kicks out a piece of hot toast.  There’s even a slide drawer on one side for condiments like sugar, milk and butter.  Want to see it?  Click here http://dvice.com/pics/wakeeat.jpg.  Now the only question is when is it coming to the United States????

I think everyone wonders how long they’ll live.  We know that your lifestyle has a lot to do with that…your diet, exercise habits, driving habits, etc.  If you’re curious about how your lifestyle will affect your lifespan click here http://www.nmfn.com/tnetwork/lifespan/ and check out the Life Span Calculator.  There are 13 questions that help determine how long you could live using the latest information from the National Center for Health Statistics.  If you’re a social networker on Facebook you can also download the Lifespan Calculator Facebook application to compare your life expectancy score with that of your Facebook friends.  I took the survey and according to the calculator I should live to be about 97.  Now I need to get my friends to take this so I can see who I’m going to be hanging out with at the nursing home!!

How much did you play Monopoly as a kid?  I played all the time.  I loved that game!  If you think you’re a pretty good Monopoly player why don’t you enter into the 2009 Monopoly National Championship Tournament?  Click here http://www.hasbro.com/games/kid-games/monopoly/ and sign up.  On April 15th players will compete in the tournament at Washington, D.C.’s Union Station.  The top player will win the title of Monopoly U.S. National Champion, $20,580 (the equivalent of the ‘bank’ in Monopoly) and th honor of representing the country at the Monopoly World Championships in Las Vegas in October.  If you’re interested in competing you have to enter before March 12th.  Good luck!!

Ok, we’ve talked a lot about Jason breaking up with Melissa during After the Final Rose last night and getting back together with Molly.  I’ve taken him to task for doing it on national television rather than breaking up with her in private.  Jason spoke with Jimmy Kimmel last night and actually does explain why he acted the way he did.  Click here http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/03/bachelor-jason.html and watch the interview and see if it changes your opinion.  It actually made me change mine a little.  I’m planning on watching After the Final Rose Part 2 tonight.
