Well Done: A Week "Well" Spent

No! Marry me!!

What do I find that me and my girls talk about, fantasize about the most?? Besides cute guys, sex, shopping, etc most of us dream of one day, if we haven't already, finding that "close to perfect" guy to spend the rest of our lives with.

It's 2011, and values and viewpoints have altered about marriage, especially with men.
Take a look at what Jerry LaVigne has to say.

Is this the harsh reality???

The American Red Cross: Lending a Helping Hand Relief Movement for Haiti

We can only go so far with our intentions to help and reach out. But with The American Red Cross, having people come together can help make our communities, our environment a better, more peaceful place.

This past January, marked one year since the devastating earthquake shook up Haiti leaving thousands, upon thousands of the Haiti people injured, killed, homeless with no food and water. It is going to take awhile to recover from such a disaster. Today, just a much like the day it occurred, any type of help to get the people of Haiti back on their feet is a big type of help.
The American Red Cross is taking donations, even via text message. So far the fundraising to get Haiti back on its feet has been very much successful with already raising $479 million which will provide the proper health care, food and shelter for the survivors.

Please help The American Red Cross in continuing to help the Haitian people.
You can eradicate the poverty. You can spread peace, love and joy. You can feed the starving. Because you can get involved with The American Red Cross today!
