Note to guys; be a fan of a green team in 2013.
Note to gals; buy green clothing. (And there's your Christmas hint fellas.)
People get paid to sit around and think about what colors should identify a particular year or a particular season, and then they declare it to be true, and people buy those colors. Amazing!
The color company Pantone has issued their annual color forecast, and if we want to be hip next year, this is the color we should buy.
The amount we fork over for Christmas gifts has gone up every year since 2008.
The iPads, flat screen TVs, and video game must-haves ain’t cheap! When you add up the hot electronics, the ugly sweaters, and the popcorn tin gift sets, we’re spending just shy of a thousand bucks on Christmas.
While you’re out doing the holiday shopping and buying gifts for everyone else, are you tempted to splurge on something for yourself?
This idea of self-gifting was actually part of the sermon I heard at church yesterday, so I did a little more investigating and dug up some interesting facts.
America has a fascination with boys’ names that end in the letter N.
And with girls’ it’s all the rage to end the name with an A.
Babycenter has revealed their Top 100 Baby Names of 2012, and judging by the list, kindergarten classes in five years will be well-populated with Aidens and Sophias.
It's the Christmas shopping season, the weather will be warm and gorgeous, and flea markets are just plain fun. All of those things are expected to factor into huge crowds this weekend at First Monday Trade Days in Canton. It might be worth the drive.
The winning numbers in Saturday night’s Powerball drawing were 22-32-37-44-50 with Powerball 34, according to the Powerball lottery’s website.
Saturday night’s jackpot amount was the fourth largest in the game’s history, but no one matched all of the numbers. There was no winner. So…how high will the jackpot climb now?
Are you planning to shop in the store, or online this weekend? Actually going to Lufkin Mall, grabbing the item you want, and paying for it there without having to wait for UPS to bring it to you seems sort of nostalgic now. Die hard shoppers might argue it's the most fun way to obtain new things, but there is something quick and convenient about electronically adding to cart.
If you shop online, where in the house are you sitting? The toilet? I kid you not. Millions of Americans are participating in online shopping while sitting on the porcelain throne.
The season of eating continues this week.
We stuffed our faces full of candy at Halloween, and now it’s on to the big Thanksgiving meal. This Thursday we’ll sit around the TV watching the Cowboys’ game and graze all day on turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and of course that green bean casserole with the crunchy onions on top that seems to find its way to most tables.
Have you ever put down the fork long enough to count the calories? Prepare yourself for the shock!
Anytime the Powerball jackpot starts to swell, the lines grow longer to buy tickets and the pot of cash grows even bigger. So expect that $185 million jackpot to continue to move today as the day goes on.
Feeling lucky? Today is a good day to pool your money at the office and buy lots of tickets. The drawing is tonight, November 14th. Oh, think of the iPads and flat screen TVs you could put under the Christmas tree with that wad of cash. And pay off debt, buy a new house, donate to charity, buy a new car - you could be rollin’ in George Clooney money.
I’ll post the past few non-winning Powerball numbers in case you want to compare your own string of lucky numerals. Good luck!

Today will be a warm day, but don't expect it to last.
If you're the type that crawls out of bed in the morning and walks out to the driveway to pick up the newspaper in your pj's, you'll get a blast of cold air on Friday morning. You might want to grab a blankey!
A few cool fronts have passed through East Texas this fall, but this Canadian front that's on its way today will be the strongest yet. How cold will it get?
