for today.

On Sunday two weeks ago we received
some snow. Connor had spend the night
with me.When I woke up at 6:00 it was
coming down.I had to wake Connor, so he
could enjoy thesnow. To a lot of you our
snow was nothing compared to what ya'll
may receive. To us it was so beautiful.
Of course it didn't last very long.
Connor and my neighbors children enjoyed
playing. Bella and Cajunare also in the
pictures.

Thanks for stopping by. It is always nice
to share in and meet new blogging friends.

A Prayer For Your Young Child

This is a beautiful prayer that I
pray everyday for my two beautiful
Grandson's Connor is the oldest he
started kindergarten this year. I
carry him to school every morning
I pray this prayer every morning when
he gets out of the car. Cooper is fifteen
months and his mother carries him every
morning and I pray this same prayer for
Cooper. They are both what keeps me going.
I love every morning to see what Connors
has to say on the way to school. Oh how I
treasure the ride to school. I hope you
enjoy this poem as well.




Dear God I pray he's treated right
and protected from all that gives him fright.
Protect his heart from kids who make fun
because he's too fat or too dumb.
If he's too skinny or too smart,
please still God protect his heart.
He's so happy and free with joy,
I'd hate to see that be destroyed.
Help him learn from his mistakes,
and never give him more then he can take.
Give him all the love he needs
and bless him with the joy that makes him free.
Save him from the pain life brings,
and make his little heart sing.
Please God don't let the world take it away
It’s to precious to let decay.
So God I beg you please,
Protect him from what he sees
Let him see life in a different light,
Let him see darkness as a starry night.
So God please make his heart very strong,
and spread to the world his happy song.

Study: Blondes Make Men Dumb

For anyone that has looked at my
profile you know thatI have been blonde.
About 2 weeks ago I decided to go dark.
I am orginally dark headed. Last night
I cut and colored my hair. Connor spend
the night with me so he helped me with
the color. This is the before and after
pictures. What do you think??? Today I
found this article about blondes.
Maybe the guy that did this survey is
really on to something.
What's your take on this??

(Paris, France) A group of scientists at Paris Nanterre University conducted research to gather evidence that blonde women make men dumb.

The methodology was to have men view a series of pictures of women with different-colored hair and then make the men take a general knowledge test.

Those who had been shown pictures of blonde women scored lower marks than those who had been shown pictures of brunettes and redheads.


Professor Thierry Meyer, joint author of the study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, said: "It proves that people confronted with stereotypes generally behave in line with them.

"Blondes have the potential to make people act in a dumber way, because they mimic the unconscious stereotype of the dumb blonde."

Notably, there is no scientific evidence that blonde women are less intelligent than brunettes or redheads. Sadly, though, there apparently is scientific evidence regarding the intelligence of the men they are with. Personally, I think the study is flawed.

In fact, according to a study conducted in 2004, blonde women became dumber when subjected to negative prejudices toward blondes.

"But after exposure to negative social-stereotypes about them, the fair-haired participants performed significantly more slowly in the tests," said Jens Foerster, a social psychologist from the International University Bremen in Germany.

When people are told they can't perform a task well, they work more slowly to try to make fewer mistakes, explained Foerster.

Regarding men, I think they may actually become smarter when in the presence of a blonde woman. It's been suggested that a smaller auxiliary brain is triggered to work when men are around blondes and this results in an actual increase in total brain mass.
