What Guys Wished Women Knew
Men constantly spit out the phrase "I just don't get women" Well guess what guys...you aren't see through either! Shaunti Feldhamhn (I can't pronounce it either) Lists some things guys with women knew about them...
- Men would rather feel unloved and inadequate and disrespected
- Men usually get angry when they feel disrespected by their wife
- Men feel the burden of being the provider for the family
- Men want more intimacy
- Men care about their wife's appearance
And most importantly...
MEN WANT THEIR WIVES TO KNOW HOW MUCH THEY LOVE THEM!
And NO your husband didn't pay me to say that last one!
Valentine’s Is COMING
Now this might start your stomach flip-flopping and you may start to break out in a sweat worrying about what to get your special someone. However, here's a heads up on what your sweetie won't be saying during this February.
Things MOST Women Will Never Say
"No, I don't want diamond earrings for Valentine's Day. How about a Snuggie!"
"I just nuked everyone in Modern Warfare 2!"
"Every bridal shop I visited today had nothing under $200."
"The dishes can wait. Let's watch The Hangover for the 4th time."
"Cobra hunging? On our honeymoon? Be still, my heart"
Ha Ha, sorry guys, but at least this may help you avoid awkward situations this Valentine's. And if you need to get out of the Dog House, check out our homepage for a killer Valentine's Day prize pack for your sweetie!
A new Wonder..
This looks like something out of the future. Some 26, 000 glass panels, not to mention how it TOWERS over everything within view behind it. ( That would be because it's the worlds tallest building Amanda :)
There are floors of offices and apartments not to mention a 900 ft fountian!
This one is deffenetly going on my bucket list!

Happy "get your butt to work for the" Holiday's
Merry Ho Ho for your Bow-wow
Do you talk to your pet like I do? Treat them like one of the family?
I am constantly making sure everyone in my household treats my cat Lu (or Lu Bear as I call him) like any one of us...maybe even a little better!
Well just like you comb your child's hair, use a good ol' thumb lick to get the mess off their face, dress them up in something pretty and get that oh so memorable photo with Santa, your animal can get one too!
Today until 8pm and tomorrow 10am-4pm @ Prairie Dog Daycare (520 11th Street East) is having Pet Pictures with Santa. Any animal is welcome (and I hear they get quite a variety)
Proceeds will be donated to Fund For Furry Friends
Have a Fantastic …. Cut?
Fall is here. You can tell because all the leaves are making my lawn look more red and orange than brown/green. But the truth behind it is that trees are actually "throwing" the leaves off. Telling them their season of welcome has come to an end.
Here's what I've found as to why...
Around this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere, as the days grow shorter and colder, those changes trigger a hormone in leaf-dropping trees that sends a chemical message to every leaf that says, in essence, "Time to go! Let's part company!" Once the message is received, says Raven, little cells appear at the place where the leaf stem meets the branch. They are called "abscission" cells. They have the same root as the word scissors, meaning they are designed, like scissors, to make a cut. And within a few days or weeks, every leaf on these deciduous trees develops a thin bumpy line of cells that push the leaf, bit by bit, away from the stem. That's where the tree gives each leaf a push, leaving it increasingly dangling. So with that very slender connection, they're sort of ready to be kicked off, and then a breeze comes along and finishes the job.
Thanksgiving or Bust!
I don't know about your family get togethers, but mine is a little like a war zone.
Not that we fight or bicker, but if there is one thing I've learned....if you don't have a fast fork, you may go hungry.
Take Thanksgiving 2 years ago. My plate is cleaned, I go to reach for the last perogie. I've got it on my fork , it's in mid-air on it's way to my plate. When my aunt's fork comes out of no where and swipes the perogie off my fork and puts it on her plate. Did I mention that she already had 3 perogies on her plate....Yah.
We still race to see who can finish their plate first, it helps us pass the time and usually gives us some good (sometimes) clean fun.
Tweets, Twits, Twitter
Ok so I'm doing the Twitter thing.
Following people that I will never probably meet but I know things about them that gives me an un-realistic feeling like we know each other.
I will admit it's cool being able to follow people like Green Day, but I'm looking for people that are REAL people...not celebs.
So, Westman if you are on Twitter find me, amandanavidshow, and we will follow each other, be tweeting buddies from the same corner of the world.
I promise to keep you up to date on all the things going on at Westman's Best Rock KX96!
Christmas In September
I can't help but notice that stores are already throwing up Santa faces and stockings for purchase and we haven't even been below 0 yet. (Thank Goddness!)
It feels like it gets earlier and earlier every year.
I was already trying to decide what to be for Halloween, (Taylor Swift or Kanye West?) And my friend told me not to get ahead of myself.
It's not like we forget it's coming. How can you forget about Christmas? It's not like it's one of the most popular winter holidays or anything.
So take my advice...stick with the witches and Jack-o-lanterns and keep the good ol' St. Nicks tucked away at least until November, okay? Decorating it now doesn't make it come any faster and your neighbors will think you're a little crazy. And personally if you're running around your house tonight in Rudolph slippers singing Jingle Bells I think you may need to look into being medicated :P
Did I mention X-mas is 95 days away?
