Forget you. I’m Wonder Woman!

I was feeling a little ‘snack-y’ tonight, a chronic problem for me lately, and decided to share a bag of popcorn with Mr. Reddenbacher.  Mouth watering, as I imagined the salty, buttery taste soon to assail my pie-hole, I was delighted to see that not only was I going to have a party in my mouth in 2.5 minutes, but I also had the chance to win big prizes in the Orville Reddenbacher’s Pop and Win Instant Game Contest.  Hooray!  Could the night get any better?

Women Of Our Generation : Our Journey

I’m going to ask you to take an adventure with me, back to a time when you were a confident, carefree little girl, and the world was your oyster.  Back to a time that you were being active, having an adventure, just having fun and you heard the phrase “little girls don’t do that!”
