I was in the post office the other day and there was a lady all freaked out, yelling at the postal workers, because apparently someone stole her mail and ripped her off. A case of identity theft. Who knows if it was real, but she seemed to be telling the truth. She was frantic. The workers kept telling her to go to the police and she was saying that the police told her to come to them! In other words, she was getting the runaround. It was really scary, though. I mean, it can happen so quickly, you know? I’ve talked about it before, because some old checks of mine were once stolen out of the trash and somebody wrote themselves a few in my name. I was too dumb back then to know to shred everything! Now I’m like a nut about it. I shred all the credit card offers I get and everything else. Even magazine subscription offers. People are crazy and I don’t want to ever be in that situation again. For more information about how you can protect yourself, check out the lifelock website. They have all kinds of information on identity theft and how to avoid it.

There was a fire last night or early this morning in Richmond that killed a 5 year-old child. I can’t even begin to say how sad this makes me. I usually don’t even write about the news, especially when it involves children getting hurt, because I get way too emotional.

But I think it’s so important for people out there to be fire-cautious and to prepare their families for fire emergencies. You learn the basics in elementary school, but how many families actually sit down with their loved ones and devise a master plan in case there is a fire in their own home? Not many.

Even I’m guilty of it. So, let’s do it…together! Tell your family about the importance of being prepared, and make sure all alarms in your home are working and have fresh batteries.

There’s also plenty of information online, including this site which has a whole run down of fire safety training and how to protect yourself and your loved ones.

I’m doing a “cleanse” with Much More Than a Mom. Well, we’re both doing it separately and are going to be whining about it on our blogs.

I’ve heard about these before, but this is my first.

Here’s one I’ll eventually get to. It’s called Dual-Action Cleanse and it’s an Herbal Cleanser that rejuvenates your body.

The idea behind a colon cleanse is to eliminate the toxins which have built up in your digestive system. The detoxification processes of a colon cleanser treatment are so important to maintaining a healthy balance in your body that many doctors consider it to be a key to personal wellness.

Yeah, you lose weight while you do it, but that’s not really the point. The point is to get your body regulated and to promote better health. Anyway, I expect to be a little hungry and probably a bit grumpy over the next week, but I think, ultimately, I will end up feeling so much better!
