Juliet's Journal
Coming Up This Week…
July 14, 2008
Happy Monday. I had a great weekend of engagement revelry, both for my own impending marriage, and our friends, Derek and Ashley, who is going to be one of the most beautiful brides ever to walk an aisle.
Also, thanks to my bridesmaids Julie, Audrey, Alicia and Laura who had a great party for Doug and me Friday night. All this talk about weddings reminds me I better get on the ball with my planning, because the big day is fast approaching – Jan 23rd.
Some wild new studies out…well let me rephrase that. One wild, the others curious and somewhat depressing.
More and more women are getting skin cancer. When we asked both a dermatologist and a pediatric oncologist (imagine how depressing that job would be…) WHY this is happening, the answer was the same: We (the medical community) aren’t really sure.
Sadly, same goes for why kids are becoming victims of skin cancer more these days.
It seems there are myriad possible reasons – the ozone layer, tanning beds, sun worshiping. But then again, there are some people (and we’re seeing this with children) who are simply genetically predisposed to develop skin cancer. Including children as young as toddlers.
I guess the key is to make sure you check your body, and make sure your doctor backs you up, literally. You need someone else to check those hard to reach places like your back.
Also, check out the segment on this website about the ABCDE scale. This had us all checking our own moles and beauty marks to see if they matched the “bad side” of the dual images.
I LOVED our Why We Love segments. I have experienced both love and first sight and love that develops over time from pure friendship. I’m marrying the latter, so you can see which one clearly worked better for me.
The key here is that love is just not enough to sustain a long lasting relationship. You have to have compatibility, trust – so many things that don’t just ‘come along’ when you fall in love at first sight. Not to say that just because you have a great friendship with someone, you have the likelihood of falling in love with them down the road. But a deep friendship creates attachment and respect and those things are certainly the building blocks for a romance that could last a lifetime.
Coming up this week… Benjamin Bratt. He’s going to tell us what happened when he had a love at first sight experience.
If you’re sweating it out and wondering why your air conditioner is helping ease some of the pain, make sure you watch Tuesday’s show because we sent our team out to investigate which a/c’s are the best, most effective and most efficient.
We’re also going to tell you about a handful of medicines/over the counter drugs that even your doctors avoid. Though they still sometimes prescribe them. This is slightly disturbing because one of these otc products is in my life on a daily basis. Starts with a V, and no, it’s not Viagra.
Emotional Affairs is the topic of our Relationship 101 segment on Thursday. Does it sting us as bad when our spouse or lover’s heart becomes attached to someone else more than if another body part does? SHOULD IT?
And for all you self proclaimed “Geeks” – a matchmaking website just for you. We’re going to meet a woman who somehow thought kids in school would elect her to class office if she told them Spock (yes, from Star Trek) was a supporter. Ummmm…
Finally. Please. I beg of you men of the blogosphere. When you use a public, unisex restroom, PLEASE lower the toilet seat when you are done doing your thing. I’ve walked into the restroom as some gorgeous, hunky man was walking out and if I see that toilet seat up, I immediately think: NO CLASS. We women shouldn’t have to touch those dirty things even with our shoes.
