Black Friday!

My favorite day is creeping up fast! By far Black Friday is the best day of the year! I carefully plan out an agenda! Without sleep I leave my house around 10pm and do not return until I just can not go anymore. I have no idea what I am going for this year. I would like to get a new computer, but the lines at Best Buy are insane. People actually go there early Thursday to be first in line to get the deal of the year. To all of my fellow Black Friday lovers be safe and have fun!

Analysis paper

I did some deep research into gender roles in advertising. I was shocked to find out that most models today are more than 15% under-weight. I understand the health effects of being overweight but being that much underweight is not healthy either. Some of the research I found also showed how the "super-model" image effects young girls and causes them to have low self esteem and that can eventually lead to eating disorders. It is nice to see some companies stepping up and recognizing that all women are not built the same and beauty is not necessarily weighing 100lbs.

My weekend!

This weekend my oldest baby turned 9! After sitting back and really thinking about it I can not figure out where the time went. He has changed so much! I was shuffling through some pictures I came across some pics of him when he was only a toddler. To look at him now he is so mature and really turning into a nice young man. Friday night he went to his first concert with his Nan and Pap. He got to see Styx in concert. He had no idea what was instore for him and when he called to tell me he was through the roof with excitment. Last year for his birthday we lived in Atlanta and my one friends husband gave us awesome seats to the Bears and Falcons game at Georgia Dome. Again that was a surprise! He loves da Bears! Hopw am I going to beat all of that for next year?

Class tomorrow!

I am excited to look at my groups new work! We should all have well put together drafts so we can analyze each other and give positive criticism. On the other hand Argument papers are not my favorite. So now we have to get on boat. I will say I LOVE research papers. I am ready for our first 7-10 page assignment.
