No joke, I was in the grocery store this past weekend and as I pasted all the chips, I wondered to myself, "I wonder if Planters still makes Cheez Balls."

Next time you need a cup of coffee, consider stopping at your neighborhood 7-Eleven. Their "Cups With a Cause" campaign has begun!
From 7-Eleven's website -
7-Eleven and its franchisees, the company is launching a charity-focused coffee campaign this month. Throughout 2010, 7-Eleven® will introduce limited-edition 20-oz coffee cups designed by entertainment and sports celebrities to be sold in 7-Eleven stores nationwide. Proceeds from cups sold will benefit the featured celebrity’s charity of choice. Cups can be filled with any 7-Eleven hot beverage including coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
“Cup With A Cause is one of our most exciting programs,” says Rita Bargerhuff, 7-Eleven’s chief marketing officer. “We’ve turned our coffee cups into canvasses, and celebrities are creating artwork for our program that allows customers to directly support charities and causes that make dramatic changes to so many people’s lives.”
Nicole Richie, Joel Madden and Benji Madden will kick off the program. Proceeds from their cup, featuring a custom-designed drawing representing their cause, will support The Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation. The stars will join 7-Eleven representatives in early February, at a Beyond Shelter Neighborhood Resource Center in South Central Los Angeles to formally announce their partnership and cut the ribbon for the facility’s new playground for young children.

This morning I woke up extra early to do some yoga. I've done some yoga before, but it's still fairly new to me. I would like to make it a permanent routine during the week for me. I definitely feel better when I practice in the morning and it has to be in the morning, I know I won't do it at night! Night-time is reserved for eating good food and drinking good wine..... Do you have a morning workout routine??
Ladies - Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift are both catching a lot of flack - for totally different reasons - concerning the Grammy's last weekend. Miranda for her dress and Taylor for her performances. You be the judge!
And how about Taylor Swift singing with Stevie Nicks? I don't think it was her best performance, actually I don't think any of her Grammy performance's were that great, but I can forgive her. Can you??
