I’ve told you before about my diet Coke habit. It’s crazy really, because I know it isn’t good for me … but then, life is a little crazy … and I find myself giving into the craving for the sweetness of a soda.

Did you know that a broken heart is not all in your head, but can be accompanied by legitimate physical symptoms? The medical profession recognizes it as “stress cardiomyopathy” which mimics a heart attack including chest pain and labored breathing.

As much as I love to grow beautiful flowers, sometimes it just does not work. I’m not sure if it’s the soil I use, too much water, not enough nurturing (I’ve heard that if you talk to your plants, they’ll grow…hmm..), or maybe I just don’t have the Martha Stewart touch.
