The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Chicago took place on Saturday, September 25. As I went to brunch with my cousin, daughter of a breast cancer survivor, we saw the restaurant crowded with runners, survivors, friends and family. We felt guilty having not participated, but there is a way you can help year-round!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is celebrated every October, and will be here in a matter of days. To donate a mammogram without donating more than a click of your mouse, just go to The Breast Cancer Site. Click on the large, pink link that says, “Click Here to Give – it’s Free!” and you are done. You have donated a mammogram to someone who needs it. The best part? You can go give it a click EVERY DAY!!!

*A portion above has been clipped and edited from my previous post Donate a Mammogram! Click to donate to breast cancer, hunger, child health, literacy, the rainforest and animal rescue.

As everyone knows, I have been on a rampant job hunt. Ninety-nine percent of my job applications have been submitted online with a very low response rate. Yes, I have had a few interviews from these applications, but still no job. I am no in Chicago, and hitting the job hunt hard. For the past two days, I have been hitting the streets, stopping by every office I can think of that would hire me. Some of them had open positions (which I found online), while others had no postings. But here is the kicker, by stopping in with a hard copy of my resume and cover letter, I was able to put myself in front of my potential employers. I even got an impromptu interview out of the deal!!

It is true that some offices only accept resumes and job applications online, or do not accept walk-ins of any kind. But, it is always worth the effort. After just two days, I am feeling positively about some of my leads and look forward to seeing what comes from them! So if you are stuck in an unemployment slump, hit the streets! Stop by anywhere and everywhere you want to work! And if you are out of state, start couch-surfing and use a local address. See what comes of it! Good luck fellow job hunters!

Who has been to a party, bar, club or anywhere, and seen some guy dancing like a fool. I have been to all of these places and seen many men dancing like fools. Well HAVE NO FEAR MEN! Below is a link that will give you all the help you need (sort of).

According to a study done by Northumbria University in the UK, “the big secret to good dancing is using your whole body (as demonstrated above), and not just your arms and legs. (Specifically, we are talking about good dancing by straight men, intended to impress straight women, for the purpose of doing it.)”  Yes, someone actually took the time to study this.

The big problem I have is that the avatar of the “good dancer” looks pretty ridiculous. Where as the “bad dancer” looks like almost every guy I know on the dance floor.

Ever wonder what your pucker says about you? Well, read your lips! Check this out and learn more about your pout and “Lipsology” by Jilly Eddy. It seems pretty fun to me!
What Your Lip Print Says About You

My lip print says:

Oval or Round Shape – when the outside perimeter shape of a person’s lip print is round or oval, it reveals that the person likes things to go smoothly, they do not like conflict or to argue and they like everybody to be happy

Full Lower Lip -  children and pets adore them; the person could be a writer, speaker or entertainer of some kind

Light Coloring – tired (Well I have worked like a dog all month and am now just a couple days away from my little sisters Bat Mitzvah. Yes. I am tired!)

This is just my rudimentary analysis, but I would LOVE to know what Jilly the expert has to say! What does your lip print say about you?
