Greetings!
Wow, what a year! Don't know about you, but I can't even believe it is almost over. All that's left is to make it through all the holiday parties, shopping, wrapping and yes...eating (which invariably leads to our favorite pastime, dieting!) UGH! For now though, I recommend we just eat, drink and be merry. After all, this season isn't about restraint. It's about being joyous and loving life and each other. That of course, is the very best gift we can give...love.
I hope you can enjoy the best of what this season offers as we rush into the holidays. Just remember, don't forget to love yourself too!
Take Care, Linda |

Century 21 - Centra Realty

 Your decision to sell or purchase real estate is a very personal one, and it can be stressful. Colette has lived in Tucson since 1974, and knows this city, its surroundings, and the community, exceptionally well. She possesses vast experience with all aspects of real estate in the Old Pueblo: residential, income, and commercial properties. Besides business affiliations, she's well-known in the Tucson gay and lesbian community and has been a volunteer and activist with the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, United Way, Arizona Human Rights Fund, Compass Health Care, Wingspan, Lesbian and Gay Public Awareness Project, and Community Profile. In addition, she has served as a consultant within the hospitality industry.
Colette encourages you to contact her to discuss your needs and goals in person. You may choose to work with her specifically, or one of her many experienced agents at Century 21 Centra Realty, one of whom is sure to be a match for you in terms of personality, experience, and professionalism. She and her team will not only help you get settled into your new home, but also assimilate into Tucson's thriving lesbian community.

 Like to cook? Me too! But, I'm not one of those who can just whip up a gourmet meal with whatever ingredients are in the refrigerator (after all, beer only works in so many recipes.) But, give me a recipe and I can usually whip up something that both tastes and looks great. (References can be supplied). HA! At any rate, I came upon a good offer from Cooking Light magazine; thought I'd pass it on. I've subscribed for several years and have yet to be disappointed in the recipes.
So, if you need to find a great Christmas gift (even if it is for yourself) that won't break the bank, click here to save 90% off the cover price. (No, I don't get a cut of the business, I just like the product.)

| Like to Read, but Spend Your Time Commuting?
Try Audio Books |
| Audible - features more than 50,000 digital titles including novels, magazines, radio shows, and podcasts. Members receive price breaks, and a one-book-per-month subscription costs $15. Nonmembers can download books for $15 to $50 per title.
Overdrive - partners with libraries nationwide to offer free book downloads to library cardholders. A word of warning, most books come in the WMA format, which requires devices compatible with Windows XP.
AudiobooksForFree - has a "generous (if eclectic) selection of free titles." The catch? Most books in the public domain are "musty classics rather than today's best-sellers." Free audio recordings also tend to be low quality; higher-quality versions cost from $5 to $8.

Have Something to Sell?
Have to tell you, I LOVE Craig's List. So far, we've sold a pool table, BowFlex and weights, bookshelves and a bedroom set. The ads were free, and I didn't have to haggle. Recommend you give it a try. (Yell if you have questions, be happy to help.)

 It is two weeks since the election of Barack Obama. It is still true. It makes me smile every morning. Then I read the paper about the Armageddon that is our financial system and it harshes my mellow. But after CA, AZ, FL Prop Hates, it has been a shallow mellow. Read the rest here | |

Best Gifts for Lesbian Moms
by Kathy Belge
So many of my friends have become moms this year. I think I need to take that into account when shopping for holiday gifts. I want to give something that acknowledges their motherhood, but also remembers her queerness. Luckily, "Lesbian Life" Movie Reviewer Mary Foulk is a new mom and she has given us lots of great gift ideas for the Moms on your holiday list.
