FibersFrom as far back as I can remember, I've enjoyed wearing t-shirts which make passersby do a double take.  I have a fairly dry and sarcastic sense of humor most of the time which is why I enjoy wearing clothing where people who don't know me will wonder, "Is she serious?"

For instance, I had an absolute blast attending concerts and other large public events when I was about 7-8 months pregnant.  I had a maternity t-shirt that simply said "Virgin" across the front.  Some people would nod at me and giggle, while most everyone else would give me the strangest look, while I was laughing like crazy on the inside.

Fibers.com is a huge online store that offers plenty of t-shirt designs to strike your funny bone.  How does more than 10,000 designs sound?  Of course, if you already have something special in mind, they can also whip up a custom t-shirt in no time flat.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the "Be Courteous or I Will Stab You" Women's Fine Cotton T-Shirt in Baby Blue from Fibers.com, which retails for $27.99.

BackJoyAs a "professional blogger", I'm sitting in front of a computer now more than I ever have in my life.  I wish there was a more mobile way to do this job, for I'm already starting to experience some new injuries that I know are directly related to my computer time.

As a matter of fact, about six months ago, I completely threw my back out and was confined to the couch with a heating pad and a lot of pain medicine for three days.  I still remember vividly what I was doing at the time of the injury.  I was sitting in my office chair in front of my laptop and had just finished writing a post.  I got up quickly to head downstairs so that I could start making dinner, when WHAM!, my lower back muscles spasmed violently and my back was officially done.  :ouch:

In talking to my doctor afterwards, she told me that it was probably my poor posture in my office chair coupled with the quick movement of getting up that caused my back muscles to spasm.  The spasm was designed to protect my spine from any serious injury.  Lesson learned...watch your posture in order to protect your back from injury.  BackJoy Posture + is an orthopedic seat cushion designed to improve your life and health by improving your posture.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the Posture + in Red from BackJoy, which retails for $39.99, but is currently on sale for $38.35 with FREE SHIPPING.

Kiddie AcademyPramod and Ravinder Gaud and Neeraj and Bala Sahejpal opened their Kiddie Academy franchise in April 2006 at 521 West Capital Expressway, San Jose, California, while in their early 30's.

Though the Kiddie Academy brand was new to the area, the Gauds and Sahejpals succeeded in building bonds in the community and setting themselves apart from local competitors. Charged by their success, the Sahejpals acquired another academy, located at 205 E. Middlefield Road in Mountain View, California.

Background: With a background in early childhood education, Ravinder began looking at the opportunity to start her own child care business. After she and her husband Pramod decided to explore franchising as opposed to a home-based, independent business, they soon discovered Kiddie Academy. Pramod and Ravinder asked their good friends, Neeraj and Bala to join them in their business venture.

Having a background in business and marketing, Neeraj saw it as a terrific investment and was interested in the business endeavor. Bala, who has a Master’s degree in Computer Applications, was pregnant with the couple's second child and was excited for the opportunity for her children to be able to reap the benefits of quality child care.
