“I wish I could, but I don’t have time”. “Sorry, but I have too much to do”. “Maybe I can fit it in next week”. Monday turns into Thursday and Thursday turns into the following month. I feel like a dog chasing its tail. It’s time to stop and smell the beef jerky treat.
It’s time to enjoy the reason we moved to Southern California - the weather. For my husband and me living in the East had become one of those four-letter words - snow. Now I’m addicted to sunshine.

“But first a few words from our sponsors” and those few words are turning into more and more. There are also more and more commercial interruptions and they never say excuse me when they interrupt.
Most people ignore this rudeness and use commercials as snack breaks and toilet trips, but no one gets a beer or flushes one down the toilet during the Super Bowl. They don’t want to miss seeing horses play football or the nerd getting the pretty girl because of the car he drives.
Not all commercials are entertaining. Some are educational and contain fifteen, thirty or sixty seconds of possibly life-changing information.

When people ask me about my “Zen Of Niche” articles, they often ask me what I am trying to accomplish. After all, I am human, not a saint, and I do have an agenda. I think the difference between the so-called “Internet Gurus” and me, is that I reveal my agenda. I’m not the only one. I have seen many excellent writers here at Ezinearticles.com who understand the spirit behind the Internet.

I have a deep seated secret.
Wait, let’s start a bit earlier than that. This is the time of the year when little Catholic children of 7-8 years of age receive their First Holy Communion. Yep, it’s when they receive Jesus for the fist time ever, in the form of a thin wafer dipped in wine.

Okay Me…today is Monday and I am definitely going to lose this last 15 pounds! This weight has been driving me nuts for years. I know I start a diet every Monday, but this Monday is different. This is the one that I am really going to stick to because, frankly, I am sick of seeing my fat self in the mirror.

As supermarkets take centre stage for battles between Pepsi and Coke, Carlsberg and Heineken, McDonalds’s and Burger King it begs to ask the question what other businesses are fighting for the sum of money you usually find in your trouser pocket?
In a world where virtually any company can compete against everyone, the Mars Bar and The Sun are having a rivalry across all available frontiers. Though we have not (yet) come to an age where you can eat and read a newspaper, both are ancient in existence and with the same price tag they are eternally battling for the Queen’s nose. Indeed at 50p they are surely worth every penny for whatever it is they offer - pleasure, humor, satisfaction, sodium bicarbonate?

Jason found himself quite annoyed at the two tractor-trailers that had boxed him in on the 205. Here he was in his little old white punch bug of a car sandwiched between the two monster rigs. He cringed every time he wondered whether they had been drinking or not or had a good nights sleep. One mistake and he would be road kill. He laughed out loud thinking it would be nice right now if this little bug really was Herbie.

Once upon a time, not too long ago, my husband thought I had too many credit cards - especially for clothing shops and department stores. John thought having so many credit cards could discredit our credit.
I charged salon services, movie tickets and luncheons with friends - which seem to cost more than lunches. Anyway … John thought the only thing I couldn’t buy on credit was happiness.
