Organic all the way!

A year and half ago, I went totally organic. I can definitely say that with my routine exercise plan and eatting organic, it has been the healthiest and fit years of my life. And I owe it to having a good and tough Fitness Together personal trainer that kicks my behind two days a week and to Whole Foods. If you don't know where to start with your organic plan, you should try out Healthy Chef Creations. I have ordered their yummy foods in the past and it helped with eliminating the hard work of purchasing, planning, organizing and portioning. All yummy foods, I especially love their wraps with this wonderful hummus side dip, which is the yummiest hummus dip that I've ever had. And I love their salmon burger and veggie burgers ... truly grilled on whole wheat buns. And all the breakfast items are delicious as well. I just got a week full of good eats from them today. Try them out!

Need Advice - Scanning photos and negatives

My local place that scans photos and negatives has closed down. I guess it is due to the economy. Does anyone know of a place that I can send my photos and negatives to, that will do a GREAT job?

There is only one company, that isn't local, that I've seen a good review for, have you had any experience with them?:

• ScanCafe

Thanks for your help!

Celine Dion concert

My wonderful hubby went to a local Celine Dion concert with me. She is an amazing singer, performer and human being. We got to see her up close, just 11 rows from center stage. Can't ask for more. :)

Online Photo Process - What is you opinion?

I've been printing some photos, photo cards and photobooks via online photo processors and local photo developers. And I would love to get your opinion. Please help...

So far, these are my reviews:

• Shutterfly.com:   5 out of 5
  (Based on color.)
• Snapfish.com:   4 out of 5
• Photoworks.com:   1 out of 5
  (When they first started printing photobooks and photo cards, they were wonderful, and the last batch of photobooks and photo cards that I've received have been horrible due to resolution quality.)
• Scrapbookpictures.com:   4 out of 5
  (I haven't used them in a long time.)
• Local Wolf Camera:   1 out of 5
  (I've sent them two sets of prints and they both came back with unrealistic coloring compared to the same photos printed by Shutterfly.)
• Kolo.com:   unknown
• TogetherBook.com:   unknown

Please give me your input, I would be so thankful!

Happy New Year - Realistic Projects

Happy New Year. With 2009, I'm not setting goals, but realistic to-do projects. I don't like the word, "goal", at this moment of life. At the same time, there are so many projects that I want to accomplish in the near future. That is why I'm using my handy "Task" application within my Microsoft Outlook to help me achieve my desired projects. So far, it has been extremely helpful in keeping track of what I want to accomplish within the next few weeks. With setting short term projects, I'm not overwhelmed but hopeful.

I wish you have a successful 2009!
