A Quest for the perfect pillow

I have about 5 pillows and I feel very uncomfortable sleeping at night...been waking up with neck pain, and this contributes to my pillows all being very stiff (they are all poly pillows). Long ago I used to have a down pillow, and I loved it! However, I had allergies from my beloved down pillow ALL THE TIME, and had to take Claritin every freakin night before bedtime. And after they showed on TV all the bugs and strange creatures that live in down pillows, it had to go.
 Thus, my frustrating search for the perfect pillow that will not be too stiff, nor too impossible to bend/shape, and hopefully one that is healthy for you.

1. Tempurpedic Pillow. It sucks. Er, I mean I give it 3 stars out of 5. I got it for Christmas for $50 at the mattress shop on the corner, and it looked very fancy. What I like about it: Tempurpedic feels way better than any of my Poly Pillows, so it's currently the only one I can sleep on. Poly Pillows don't deserve to be on the list at all, because they didn't earn any stars from me (ZERO for support, and negative points for being inflexible and horribly stiff). What I don't like about it: The shape is not helpful, it is just too stiff for my neck, and yet I don't feel "support" from it so I end up bending it and torturing it until we are both so tired of fighting that we fall asleep.

Bethenny Frankel's new Book - A PLACE OF YES

While shopping at Target last Tuesday, I have put a few teeshirts back and decided to buy this interesting, and eye-catching book by Bettheny Frankel, the bitchy housewife of New York. It's called "A place of YES".  I am re-reading it now for the second time, as the book is hilarious, but sometimes it makes you wanna cry. Her book is not so much about how you can "visualise yourself rich" or "the power of positive thinking" - instead it teaches to follow your gut and ACT quickly, how to live your dreams and be unafraid of failure. I had no idea, but Bethenny had this strange idea that she wanted to bake cookies without preservatives (a major selling point) and sell them. Apparently, selling cookies without preservatives was also a fatal flaw in her plan - honestly, I wouldn't care if they had preservatives or not, but apparently, this was a matter of principle.
SO...For many sleepless nights she spends working her ass off and slaving away in the kitchen, trying to lift off a failing business, and then she keeps going...and going...and going. Despite things going awry all the time. What DOES keep her going? Why doesn't she give up? (I would have given up after the first cookie crumbled) Where do you get so much strength?
Of course, she also has more successful ventures, and gets her life back in order, but that's not what gets me. Bethenny has this drive to "follow your truth" and never back down. I find that very inspirational. It reminded me of Davy Crockett, there's just this strength of character, the YES that comes from within, not outside. It's not a YES from the Universe. It's not a YES from your parents. It's not even a YES from your boyfriend.
Best to you in Happiness, Money, and Love and always say YES to be your best!

SIMS: MIDIEVAL IS HERE!!!!

Sims: Midieval is finally here! My Sim, Queen Alpha, has hired an advisor (by using a pigeon to send off a hire letter), and started building barracks. Although she is suppose to be a very classy Queen, Alpha eats with her hands - I kid you not! When you start your game, you select your Sim's traits like in a regular Sims game - but this time, you are required to select one "flaw" of character. Alpha's is "CRUEL" - so she will slap people, and hurt them in more ways than one :)
Last week, Lady Alpha ventured off to the town's square and also went to market to buy a new sword and some food. Suddenly, a woman comes crying to her, that she has been bullied. Queen Alpha immediately arrests the offender. Then she decides to throw eggs in tomatoes at her, while bursting off in laughter:

Bullies in MY kingdom?! I shall not allow it!
