Adtunes.com Top 10 Most Memorable Ad Music of 2004! Revisit some of the most catchy (and some annoying) tunes from the past year in TV commercials.

Made it to Alabama, via a stop at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport and a night in Nashville with my younger brother. Last minute shopping was insane in Nashville, and I didn't even attempt to hit any stores this weekend here in Huntsville... not that I have many things left to get anyway.

The best (and most *important) purchases I made were for myself: pants that fit. *Important because all the pants I owned only stayed up if I wore a belt, sagged in the butt and bunched up at my feet from hanging so low at my waist. So, hooray for a new (smaller) pair of jeans and dress pants!

Now, if I can just make it through the holidays without gaining anything back. I need to drop another 1/2 pound to reach my first major goal of losing 50 pounds. It will be a miracle if that happens.

To go with my super secret Christmas knitting, I made some "Hand Knit By Me" cards to include with the items. See them (and some previous cards) here.

Seven days ago I embarked on the quest for a whiter smile courtesy of some Crest White Strips. It worked, and I'm very happy with my results: Click here for close up photos of my teeth before and after.

Finally, photos of the belt I made with soda can tabs.

This weekend was spent cranking out my annual holiday cards. This time I designed postcards on my computer. I put them in the mail today -- so glad to check this task off my list!
