‘Summer Brain’ is what my friends and I called the condition we had during the first week back to school. Since we read more teen fashion/beauty magazines than classic literature, it was quite the adjustment to go straight into Shakespearean plays. Indeed, our minds felt rustier than the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz.

Yes, there are some really addictive reality shows out there, too, like The Mole and Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, but you really should take a moment out of your busy schedule to read a good book and feed your mind.

August 18th - It was on this day in history in 1967 that the Rolling Stones released the song We Love You.  Mick Jagger was quite the looker back then, but now he’s kinda scary looking. I don’t know if it’s because he stayed up way too late for many nights in his lifetime, or that he just doesn’t age nicely. If he used skincare products from Zirh for men throughout the years, he’d look years younger today. Head over there now and save 16% with Zirh coupons when you spend $20 or more.

1988 - Largest House with 130 Rooms Sold for $22 Million - That was my house!  It was…in my dream last night. I used to think about how nice a bigger house would be, but I’m not too sure I care for one so much anymore.  That’s just way too many rooms to furnish. Although, it wouldn’t be too expensive if I were to shop at Overstock.com. For low-priced furniture & home decor, use Overstock.com coupons and save $10 when you spend $150 or more.

Famous Birthday

Denis Leary, 51 - If you ever need a good laugh, Denis Leary is the best medicine for ya. He shoots out jokes effortlessly causing a ripple effect of laughter in the audience.  He’s also a movie star, writer and director. Recently, he was the voice of Diego, the sabre tooth tiger on Ice Age. I couldn’t think of a better voice match for that character. Both children and adults can enjoy Diego’s dark humor in this movie. Make it a movie night by heading over to Target for low-priced DVD movies. Be sure to redeem our free Target coupons for a $5 discount when you spend $50 or more.

Bad Poetry Day - Poetry is hard enough to understand, you have to really dig deep for meanings sometimes. When people write bad poetry, it magnifies just how disconnected and out of tune they are. AHH! It drives me nuts. Now, bad poetry can mean two things: people who produce fake poetry and that cheesy, cliche, sarcastic poetry. I’m a sucker for the latter meaning. What can I say, I love reading ridiculous lines with corny suggestions. There’s no “reading in between the lines” for this kind of poetry. What you read is what you get, which is why I love it. Now, if you want to show someone you care, don’t write a poem if you had no previous experience doing so. If you’re really stuck on this poem idea, then get someone else to write it for you…but If you go that route, then it won’t be from the heart. Sooo, my suggestion is Diamond.com where you can get the perfect gift without making a fool out of yourself. YAYY!!! Use Diamond.com coupons to save 20% on discount diamond rings, bracelets, pendants, necklaces and more!

National Soft Ice Cream Day - Oh myyy! Soft ice cream = one happy camper. You know what’s funny (besides me)? I invented soft ice cream. I was about 5 years old and my ice cream was given to me in compact scoops, and in seconds it was one bowl of ice cream soup. So, direct all your thank-yous to ME - the inventory of soft ice cream. I just love soft ice cream because it’s so soothing. Are you planning on enjoying soft ice cream today? I know the weather this summer has been so unstable that it doesn’t really feel like summer at all, and you probably haven’t eaten that much ice cream like you normally do. Well, if this is the case, then hopefully wherever you are, the weather holds out so you can enjoy delicious soft ice cream. Now, depending on the weather, you’ll need bowls from Overstock, so you can serve soft ice cream if it’s a hot summer day, or hot steaming soup to warm up! Save $5 on discount ice cream bowls and soup bowls on orders of $100 or more when you use Overstock coupons.
