Friday wine goodness: Heart Healthy Linky Love.

So, we've all heard the reports that red wine is good for your heart.  There are many (try google, or digg).  But this one is the best I've ever seen:

Drinking wine can maintain heart health, prevent cancer and even settle a mean case of diarrhea. Research now shows it’s also good for your teeth and throat.

Sore throats! Gingivitis! (Er, nevermind the teeth staining part, that's why they invented Crest Whitestrips, yes?) And lo, diarrhea!  I KNEW there was a reason I love wine.  Maybe that will offset all those FiberOne bars I've been eating to try and lose weight.  Thanks to Bob Green and Oprah, who knew their world domination plan included keeping people in the bathroom all damn day.  Ahem. 

Anyway, other things are good for the heart, too, of course.  This is the part where I shamelessly plug my kid's fundraising efforts, Jump Rope for the Heart, sponsored by the American Heart Association.  If you're bored and feel like donating to his little online fundraising page, be my guest.  The online donation has a minimum of $25 though (greedy bastards) so if you want to do something but not that much, email me and I'll do it manually.

Also, speaking of links, you may have noticed a new little bauble up in my left sidebar, Feel Your Boobies!  (Yes you can say that on TV, as Heather says)  A breast cancer awareness site.  A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and this site is awesome.  I've long been a supporter of the Susan G. Komen Foundation, but hey, the more awareness we can get for this disease, the better.  Click away.  Feel free to drink and click, in fact!

(Could I get more links in this post?)

Its going to be rainy and stormy all weekend here, so it looks like no soccer or planting bushes for me .  I guess I'll have to stay in and drink wine and let Wii parent for me.

(Anybody love that Wii song as much as me? Lordy.)

(Although this one is hilarious!  Wii goes all Tarantino on your ass! Ha!)
