Things I Love Thursdays

I've decided that I like these little Thursday postings so I can pass on neat things I find to you, my loyal (or maybe not? lol) blog readers. Word of mouth is, after all, the best form of advertising. :) Here's this week's list:


- Adopt a Soldier

This is the coolest. You (individually or as a group) sign up to Adopt a Soldier and send him or her care packages, letters, etc. Give them a little boost in morale and let them know we are thinking about them. Reading through the letters on the site it's so sad to see how many soldiers feel forgotten and unloved because of people's opinions on the war. Remember, this is the soldier's job...they have no option when they get sent to Iraq, so please, even if you don't support the war, support the soldiers. They certainly deserve it. Think about signing up for this...what a great way to do something cool for them!


- Fat Cookie

Oh my gosh. You MUST go to this website and see the delicious things they have to offer. They let you make your own cookie and they'll bake, wrap and ship them for you. Need a present for your grandma who lives out of town for her birthday? Send her some cookies from Fat Cookie. You can order a pre-made recipe or create your very own, using a dough of your choice and any number of flavors. Kind of like Coldstone for cookies. Yummy!

- This neat hue differentiation test

This thing is neat! You have to do your best to put these slightly different hues in their correct order. How precise is your color differentiation? I got a perfect score. (Must be good for editing, that's for sure!)
