The alarm goes off. You slowly open your eyes and you groan. Just 15 minutes more sleep you think as your head hits the pillow and then you remember it is Monday morning. Where did the weekend go and why am I so tired? Then you pull your tired body out of bed and think “I should feel better than this after a night’s sleep”. Is this scenario familiar?
It used to be for me but now I actually like Monday mornings. It took a while before I got to the point where I could say that. I tried a number of different things because I knew there had to be an answer out there somewhere. First was exercise which did in fact help some although I woke up sore many mornings. Then I tried eating a bigger breakfast which helped more throughout the morning but still didn’t launch me out of bed. Supplements! That had to be the answer. After trying vitamins and minerals and other substances I did land on one that really made a difference. It came in a really unique green glass bottle with a picture of a man on a beach blowing a conch. It is called TAHITIAN NONI® Juice and made from a funny looking fruit called Noni fruit from Tahiti.
The first thing I discovered was I wasn’t dragging through the day. After the first week I actually had energy! Then I stopped drinking it to see if it was TAHITIAN NONI® Juice making me feel this way or my imagination. Sure enough my energy started running out again.
The next thing I found was that I wasn’t getting sick as often. While those around me were getting sick, it just passed me by. I found out later its because TAHITIAN NONI® Juice boosts the immune system. Needless to say it’s a keeper for me. The best thing is I can greet every Monday morning feeling good.

One of the most important choices a bride and groom will make is the selection of their wedding photographer.
There are so many things to decide like the dress, decor, food, music, location, etc. Many couples feel the choice of a photographer is one of the most important since your pictures will be one of the most lasting and cherished memories from the most important day of your life.
We’ve all heard horror stories about studios doing a less than perfect job, or not producing anything at all. By taking the time to do some research you can be assured of choosing someone who will not only provide outstanding pictures, but who can make you feel good about your choice and remove at least one worry from an event filled with stresses.
You may know someone who has gotten married in recent years . Why not ask them who shot their wedding and look at their wedding pictures to see how the photographer did. You’ll probably get some good references this way, so contact the photographers who did a great job for your friends.
It also pays to do some research yourself. Search Google or another search engine for local wedding photographers - here in the capital city of Alberta Canada, you would search for Edmonton Wedding Photographers. You can also do a search for something like Edmonton photography. You’ll get hundreds of results, so look at those shown on the first few pages. By visiting the websites listed, you’ll get a feel for each photographer’s style. Contact those who stand out. Their response is a good indication of how professional they are. Are the replies professional and written clearly? Have they provided any other examples or references?
Next, set up interviews with those who create the sytle of photography you want and who are in your budget. When you meet with the photographer, they’ll show you a portfolio of their work. How the photographer treats you at this stage is a good example of what you can expect at your wedding. Are they friendly, or are they condescending? Do they seem warm, or are you uncomfortable with how they treat you?
The photographer will have an agreement for you to sign. Take your time to read it, as it outlines what is expected of both parties. The agreement is for your protection, too. While it commits you to pay them, it also commits the photographer to provide the services you have discussed.
Here are a few additional ideas that will help your photographer get the best shots for you:
1. Make a list of the most important photos you want and provide it to the photographer before the wedding.
2. Make sure you know WHO is going to photograph your wedding. If the main photographer isn’t going to be the actual photographer at your wedding, find out who will - and ask to see their personal portfolio before you commit to hiring them.
3. Assign a family member or close friend to be the photographer’s liason who can point out all the important family members who you want to be sure to get pictures of.
4. Ask the photographer to come to the rehearsal so they will be familiar with where they can get the best shots without getting in the way.
5. Pre-plan where the formal and informal photographs will be shot.
6. Find out if the photographer provides finished prints, albums, thank-you cards and similar services after the wedding. A professional photographer can provide these additional services that will enhance your wedding day memories and many photographers have excellent resources for these items that are of higher quality than the public can get.
By following these suggestions you won’t have to worry about your wedding photography. You’ll be able to enjoy your wedding day knowing you’ll have many memorable photographs to enjoy for the rest of your life.

Well, I haven’t gotten to speak on the site half as much as I might like, owing to the fact that I have been roped into helping my old man manage his super nutball midlife crisis. True, I guess it isn’t as far gone as it might be. How it went, I mean how he did it was he got all done up like the Fonz or something, and come over to my apartment and casually inform me, in his “coolest” possible vocal tone: “Get ready, dude, we are gonna start looking for some classic Ford Mustangs for sale. No joke, buddy, I’m going to get myself one.”
Before I knew what was happening the two of us were off to a few of those creepy classic car showrooms that I’m always just about certain are not exactly legit, and I can’t believe it when my crazy padre made out a check right there on the spot, for an alarmingly gleaming classic Ford Mustang. I have to admit, it’s quite item. It sounded really nice as well.
I want to point out that I phrased that last sentence in the past tense. It sounded really nice until it rendered itself silent. My Dad informs me that it’s a really quick thing to fix and that all he requires is the right part. I’m thinking, it can’t possibly be as painless to pick up 1965 Mustang parts as it was over a million years ago, but he informs me there is a really sizable aftermarket for them in spite of their age. As far as my Dad tells me the surest way to get you parts for 1968 Mustangs is actually internet auctions, because you can find them refurbbed and sometimes even brand new. They’re only sometimes that inexpensive, however… Get real, they are thirty year old Mustang parts.
I guess it could’ve been worse… Imagine if he would’ve decided to buy a harley.
