PAULA NEAL MOONEY

by Paula Neal Mooney We've all heard of writer's block. But what's a blogger to do when they get stumped for ideas? Okay, it's not like I'm short of ideas. Ideas follow me and swirl around in my head daily. Any number of topics have sailed thru my mind: Should I write about R. Kelly's appendix bursting, thus delaying his child molesting trial? What about Ludacris' subtle diss of Oprah and Bill O'Reilly at the Grammys last night? What about the methadone found in Anna Nicole Smith's refrigerator? How 'bout that mom in Austria who locked her kids away for seven years in darkness? None of that stuff is floating my boat right now. So I might as well write about what I just did for the past hour or so to cure blogger's block: 1 - Surf Digg.com and other news sites for interesting stories.

My hubby bought this white teddy bear that glows in the dark -- oddly named the GLO E Teddy Bear (why didn't they just call it "white teddy bear that glows in the dark"? -- for our daughter when she recently turned 4. It is so cool! I'm predicting that this white teddy bear that glows in the dark will be the must have toy of the season. If you get the white GLO E teddy bear that comes with the magic wand, the wand will light up the teddy bear even if someone is holding the wand in another room. My 10- and 12-year-old nephews even had fun with this white glowing teddy bear. My friend's daughter asked if she could take it home Saturday night as they were leaving a dinner party at our home. I said no. Trust me, when this white teddy GLO E bear is glowing all purple and green and pretty colors next to your child in a darkened room, you'll see why I said no.
