Tomato genome project bears fruit
With the genome of a single type of tomato, seed companies and breeders can begin to pinpoint which genes influence taste or color between tomatoes.
Does Kim Harrison know bout this?

Just thinking…
I need a job but I also need to stay home and take care of grandma. I also need to beef up if I’m to accomplish all that I wish to. Can’t afford a gym membership though. Guess I better put the phone down and get moving…. just which direction am I going? Hope it’s the right one!

Give us some space and respect, proud introvert argues
Rather than work to make introverts something they’re not, parents and teachers should encourage the dreamier among us, new book says. Author Susan Cain says Western — and in particular, American — culture is dominated by what she calls the “Extrovert Ideal,” described as “the omnipresent belief that the ideal self is gregarious, alpha and comfortable in the spotlight.”
I like this. Introverts rule.

Watching ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ could lead to learning problems

While searching for reviews I noticed…
So few reviews of AVON are done by non-representatives! I suppose I would not be reviewing/swatching or attempting tutorials of AVON’s products myself if I were not a rep. Although, my love affair with the brand started a few months before I started selling any products myself. I fell in love with the scent of Haiku for a nice clean scent. My husband loves it when I wear the Far Away scent. Far Away is an ambery/lightly floral scent on my skin. He himself wears AVON’s Mesmerize for men. I also love the scent Simply Because. If you love your sweetness mixed with a bit of spice, Simply Because is for you. ;) I became addicted to AVON’s Glazewear line also. They have the absolute perfect pink for spring/summer in the shade Darling Pink. For my pale skin the shade in Tickled Pink is the perfect pinky nude. I am a bit old fashioned I suppose in that I’m not a big fan of glitter, so all my favorites are in the Shine category of the lip glosses. I am still debating on which of the Color Rich lipsticks are my favorite. I may give up and just wear the Extralasting line. OH! Almost forgot, I tried out the cream to powder foundation and I love it. It’s not greasy at all, which was what I was honestly expecting. The fact that it is in a good quality mirrored compact doesn’t hurt either, and the sponge is just right for application. All except for the Simply Because I fell in love with BEFORE selling AVON. Anyone out there have any AVON favorites they’d like to share?
