These little cuties have been very busy around here lately.

Sweet

A New Camera

I need a new camera soooooo bad! I love photography & taking pictures is a passion of mine. But my camera is ancient, compared to what is out on the market today. I was saving my money for a new super duper awesome camera, but life swooped in & I had to use my savings. Oh well....But when I am able to go shopping for my dream camera, I am going to ask my photographer friends for advice on what's the best, as well as reading camera reviews. I also wouldn't mind a new video camera too! I think I need to work on a wish list!

Summer~Summer~Summer Time

This Summer has been one of the hottest I can ever remember around here. It's been in the 100's consistently. That just doesn't happen. We always have a 100 here of there, but 100's for days....Yikes! I haven't even been opening my curtain in the house to keep the heat out. It makes it super gloomy, but you have to do all you can to keep things cool.

New Laptop

D is wanting his own laptop. I told him since I use the laptop the most that I should be the one getting the new one & he can have mine. :) Not sure how well that will go over, but it seems quite logical to me! We can't buy  2nd laptop time right now, but we have been looking at different brands including Asus. Not sure which direction we will go in when the time comes, but as soon as or car is paid off...New laptop here we come!

Door Chimes

I have never lived in a house that has door chimes. But I think it would be fun to have them. I know we need them here at our house, especially if we are asleep. We have fans in the bedroom & we can't here someone knock. So door chimes would be good. Someone stopped  by not long ago & if not for the dogs barking I would not have known anyone was at my door. If we got door chimes, I would want them to play a cute tune. The "I Love Lucy" tune would be perfect!

Comparison chart

In all of this talk about fat & losing weight, I need to find a weight loss pill comparison chart or something. There are so many out there it is easy to get confused or just not even know where to begin. You know there are a lot to choose from when there is an entire aisle at the store devoted just to them. And that's not even all that is out there!

Burn some fat

Boy, do I have some fat that needs to find some fat burners fast! I am tried of being overweight. I mean...Really tired. And I am typing this as I eat a candy bar...Go figure! Honestly though.....I want to get healthy, not skinny. Skinny wouldn't be bad, but healthy is more important. I think some changes are in my future.

Helps to lose weight

I think I am possible at my heaviest & I hate it. I haven't been eating more, just not as active as I need to be. But I have zero energy....I have different health issues that make me so tired & that is why it is so hard to lose weight & keep it off. I think I may look into some apidexin. Maybe that stuff can help with kick starting my weight loss.

Something New

Danny made this awesome gate for our front porch. We love it!

Natural

Out of all the diet potions out there, I wonder just how many are natural weight loss products. So many things out there are dangerous & you have no clue what is in them. But to find something natural & possibly organic would be the best way to go when trying to lose weight with the aid of a product. Now, it's just finding the natural ones in the sea of the bad stuff.

Supplements

I think when people hear diet supplement, that think diet pills, but that is not the only supplements out there. They include a list of things...vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, fatty acids, amino acids...It's really anything that provides nutrients. Especially something our body may be lacking & we need more of. So when you walk down the vitamin aisle at the store you are actually going down the diet supplement aisle.

Alli Reviews

I have taken prescription diet pills & over the counter ones too, but have been curious about alli. I see the commercials & it looks to be a pill that works. Of course there is no magic pill, but with healthy eating & exercise, it helps. I have been reading some alli reviews  & I have things look encouraging. I may just have to give it a try. Then I will be able to give my own review.

Us celebrating the 4th!

Vitamins

I know since my Mom had gastric bypass surgery, she has to take all different kinds of supplements. One being prenatal vitamins. I wonder if she has taken vitafol prenatal vitamins. She probably has, I know she has tried all different ones. I do know that prenatal vitamins are some of the best vitamins anyone can take. You don't have to be pregnant.

Weight Tips

Growing up with a Mom who struggled with her weight, the subject of quick weight loss tips were one I heard often. If it is been out there, I'm sure she tried it or at least thought about it. I have also battled the bulge the majority of my life. I was thinking the last time I wore a bikini, I was 3 years old. I am now 33. Haha! Oh my, just now as I type that I am realizing that I have dealt with weight issues for 30 yrs. Wow!

Too Cute

This video is so funny!

Thrown away

I was looking in our medicine cabinet the other day & couldn't find what I was looking for because of all the expired junk in there. It was something I had been needing to do anyway, but at 1 am I was throwing out all sorts of stuff. Cough drops, weight loss pills, antibiotics, ear drops, ect. I hate when things don't get used up before it expires & it ends up in the trash.

Hair Loss

I used to have thick curly hair & hated it. I complained all the time about it. Now that I have had some health issues my hair isn't nice & thick like it used to be. And it does bother me. I have been searching some hair loss treatment for women. One thing I have learned is be grateful for what you have, because one day it may not be there. And stop complaining.

Sleep Tight

I wish I were someone how can fall fast asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. My husband is like that. And once he is asleep the house could down around him & he would never know it. Me on the hand has to sorta decompress. I have to read or watch TV. But I also have to be exhausted. And if I know I have to get up early, the idea of going to sleep taunts me. I need to look into the best sleeping pills for me. So I can get a good nights rest.

Books

There is a local place that sell used books. It is owned by the very odd older man & that is putting it mildly. I have never gone in there alone & never will. And if you give him a chance to start talking....Watch out, because he will not shut up for anything. I really don't know how the place even stays open there is rarely anyone in there. Any time I pass it I always look to see if it has closed down.

Mom's gift

The time has already passed for this year, but you can never start to early looking for great mothers day gifts. Mom's are pretty special & shouldn't be left for the last minute. I was at the store the night before Mother's day & was shocked at the people rummaging through the leftover cards to find "something" to give. How sad is that? I made my Mom a gift this year, but I always try to do something that will mean something to her & not a flimsy card.

Drive In Baby!

D & I went to the drive in a couple of weekends ago & saw Iron Man 2. We had such a fun time. It was a surprisingly cool Southern night with honeysuckle strong in the air. We took some hot dogs wrapped in foil & Route 44 slushies from Sonic. Sweet times for sure.

Invitations

Since I call D "Honey D" & he calls me "Honey C" I thought if we ever had a baby would call it "Honey B" as a nickname. I found these baby shower invitations that would be perfect.

 So cute! The entire shower could be all Bee themed. I just love it! I just wish now it would actually happen, so the planning & the fun could begin! One day...One day...One day.....

....From our 10th anniversary...

Weight Loss

I have been given a many different kinds of weight loss supplement from doctors. I have also found over the counters ones from the drug store & some from the health store. Some have worked while others haven't. There are some that you can feel working, while others you feel nothing. I know that for me, I can not lose without some kind of supplement. It's just finding the right one that works.

Burning fat foods

With changing the way I eat, adding some food that burns fat would also help. I was doing some research on this & found some lists. On those lists were these foods...Cayenne pepper, cinnamon, ginger, Citrus fruit, apples & berries, soybeans, bananas, garlic & also dairy products. I think I need to go to the grocery store & load up on this stuff!

Diet Pill Reviews

Goodness...Is it time to do something about my weight! I need to find something that will help aide in the weight lose. I was looking at the apidexin reviews. From what I have read it is a very powerful diet pill. It's not just a diet pill, but also a fat burner. And it's made of some of the best quality ingredients. Might be something worth looking into.

Nicer Couch

We have a used couch. It's is pretty good condition. Has good bones. But the fabric is faded & has some stains. I would love to a slip cover for it, but it is a couch that has 4 large pillows, instead of a normal cushion. I guess I will need to look into some custom slipcovers. I would love to go with a deep red color. I have always wanted a red couch for some reason.

Lose it quick

I have so much weight to lose that quick weight loss is not the answer. Of course, I want it off quick, who doesn't? I have lost 15 pounds recently, but it took over 2 months to do so. I wish food addiction was not my problem. But I guess it could be worse.  Maybe one day I will be free from this burden.

Ones that work

I wish I could find diet pills that work for me. The Doctor put me on some that have worked before, but now they don't. It's aggravating. I don't ever remember losing weight without the aide of something. Not only do the diet pills help me lose weight, but they give me energy. Something I lack. If I have energy I get moving & helps with the weight lose.

Blue Light Therapy

I have never heard of blue light therapy before. So I did some researching on it & found some very cool info. It is an amazing treatment for acne. Who knew? Not me, that is for sure. It kills the bacteria that causes acne, plus helps reduce inflammation. If I had acne problems I would for sure give this type of treatment a try!

Insurance Safety

Thankfully we have all of our insurance stuff in order, but I do remember when I was just starting out on my own having to get insurance quotes. I'm sure we will have have to do so again, when we start a family. Insurance is just a part of life & finding the one that is best for you & your family comes along with it. Even is you are hoping you never have to use it.

Want To Get Moving!

I know I need to exercise. Everyone needs to in some compacity. I do have some physical limitations, but I know exercise would most definitely help in strengthening my body. I don't have a way to go to a gym & my neighborhood isn't the best for walking, so I need to find something I can do in my home. And that thing is an elliptical. Oh, how I would love, love, love to have one!

LCD TV's

I think one of the hottest gifts this past Christmas was an LCD TV. I know when I was out shopping on Black Friday people were lined up around buildings for hours to get the best deal of the day. And I know there were alot of very happy people on Christmas morning! We don't have an LCD TV. I'm sure we will get one in the future, but it is so not a priority for us now. We got a newer TV when a hotel replaced all their TV's with LCD TV, so I think we are set for awhile.

Car Insurance

When I started driving, my parents immediately added me to their car insurance. When I moved out of state, I got different insurance on my own. Then after getting married & the budget was extra tight, we changed to another insurance that was cheaper, but ended up having better coverage. We haven't needed to use it, but I'm sure there are some out there searching for some insurance & I bet carinsurancelist blog has some good companies to choose from.

Cell Phones

Remember when we used to say cellular phones? They were huge! I think when they first came out they were in big carrying cases. Now they are so tiny, you can barely see them. I guess they are so small now that they have to be called a smaller word...Cell. Along with things getting smaller, so does the way we say stuff. Actually now words are either abbreviations or an acronyms.

If I could Redecorate...

I have such eclectic taste. Right now my house is furnished with yard sale, hand me down, thrift store & road side finds. But if I had the money to just buy whatever I wanted to decorate my home, I really have no idea in what direction I would go. I adore the cottage/shabby chic look. All white, big over stuffed couches with pops of color & florals. I also love anything 1950's & with that most of it is more modern furniture. Clean straight lines. I also like curvy whimsical furniture. Goodness, I think I would have trouble deciding what to do!

Books

I seem to be back into my reading mood. I got "Gone with the Wind" for Christmas & read it for the first time. Once I finished it, I read "Scarlett." Then one of my favorite authors Francine Rivers came out with a new book "Her Mother's Hope." I just started it today & am already captivated & I am just in the 2nd chapter. I love books like that, where you are immediately in the middle of the story & you are not having to fight to read it, to get to a point that holds your attention.

Herbal Stuff

I took some herbal diet pills for awhile & along with them there was an herbal tea that was used to detox your system. One night I was steeping some of that tea & forgot about it. It was only supposed to steep for a few minutes, well....mine steeping for over an hour! I didn't want to waste it since it was kind of expensive, so I drank it anyway. Let's just say it detoxified my system & then some!

Best of...

It's been so long since I read a fashion magazine, I don't know what the best wrinkle creams are now. I used to could the best of every beauty treatment, best lipstick, foundation & so on.... I am definitely out of the loop these days. I used to have a subscription to the leading beauty magazine, but since I didn't renew it, I'm  lost. Haha!

Weight Loss Stories

Do you find weight loss success stories encouraging or do they make you feel worse about your own weight? I'm not sure how I feel about them. Sometimes it gives me a push in the right direction. Motivates me. Makes me want to exercise. Eat healthy. All knowing that it is possible to achieve this weight lose goal While at other times it makes me want to grab a big old bag of potato chips & eat the whole thing!

Security Stuff

A few months ago my parents were experiencing some strange things going on at their house. Some things were disappearing. One them being a gasoline siphon. And they also noticed when they would get into their vehicles that the gasoline was lower then it had been the last time they drove it somewhere. It would have been interesting to see exactly what was going on if they had had a security camera set up to capture the culprit.

Falling In Love

The first time I met D, he was this tall mysterious guy dressed in urban clothing. I had never met someone quite like him. I was a young woman from Alabama on an adventure. He was a young man that was native Californian. Our worlds collided with one hand shake & an introduction. Five months later we were Mister & Misses. Moral of the story, you never know how much a meeting a new person will affect your life. :)

Spring Forward?

Today we had to set our clocks forward. It sure doesn't seem like Spring. The weather this year has definitely been one for the history books. Record breaking Winter weather. Extreme cold temps for very long periods of time. Forecasts for snow several times, which is very rare here in Alabama. And then flooding! It's been insane that is for sure..

That's life

There are so many things in life that as kids we are never aware of. Things adults have to deal with & go through, that is shielded from kids. If kids knew they would wish their sweet little lives away. One thing that people never want to have to think about is life insurance. Goodness, knows I don't. But being an adult I have too whether I want to or not. Oh to be a kid again...To be able to just play, eat, laugh, sleep & dream.....

Replacing the Potty

I was making a list the other day of all the things we need to do around the house. Ans it is quite a long list, let me tell ya. One thing that made the list was replacing the toilets, especially the one in the master bathroom. It is still a harvest gold version, with a white lid. Haha! Maybe we could replace them with a Toto toilets! I think that name is cute.

Moving Trip

It's been a long time since I have needed to use some roadside assistance, thank goodness. When we moved from California back to Alabama the last time, we had to use roadside assistance 4 times! We kept having our tires blowout. It was a scary trip. And we were so relieved once we finally made it to Sweet Home Alabama all safe & sound.

Arthritis

My step grandmother had rheumatoid arthritis very badly. I never knew her without it. I'm not sure if she ever had any treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. I think alot of the treatments that are available today, are newer & more cutting edge. They weren't around for her to be able to see if they were successful. Maybe if she were alive today, she would be in less pain.

Diet & More

I took diet pills over a year ago & they were quite successful. But once I came off of them, I had to go on a different med & that one made me gain weight! So, I gained back all I lost. After much thought, I have decided to go back on diet pills. I need to get some weight off & get more active. It's so easy to not do stuff & enjoy good food! Haha!

Dark Circles

As I was looking in the mirror the other morning applying my make-up, I noticed the beginnings of some fine lines. Being 33, I think this isn't so bad. But I do need to do some research for the best under eye creams. I want something for wrinkles & for dark circles. I would also like to start a more intense beauty regime.

Good Skin Compliments

I come from a line of women with good skin. Even the other night, I was at a Ladies night out event with my Mom & we were complimented on our skin. I bet most people think we use all kinds of potions, lotions, wrinkle serum & masks, but no we just have been blessed with good skin. But if I had to use all of that stuff, I certainly would!

Adult Acne

I have seen adults who have awful acne. I always wonder what adult acne treatment they are using or if they are doing anything at all. There are so many things on the market, I can understand that it can be overwhelming to know what to even try. I do know that acne treatment for adult skin is different from that of a teen. So finding the right stuff can be a mission.

A New Laptop

We got a new laptop over a year ago & I just adore it! Our older computer that crashed, is now set back up & D uses it for games. But when he is home, we fit over the laptop, since it's in the living room. Maybe we can get a Sony VAIO, then we would have 2 laptops & all would be right in our home! Haha! It would be nice for us both to have on though.

Belly

I would imagine the very best way to reduce belly fat is to watch what you eat & exercise. But I know there are many, many gimmicks out there, that are say otherwise. And many, many people out there that fall for them & waste tons of money. I don't & I don't watch what I eat or exercise. So, I am fat & save money! Haha!

The Best Ones?

I don't know about it being the best new diet pill, but the dr did give me a prescription for a diet pill when I had a visit with him a few weeks ago. I still have not decided if I want to take it or not yet. I mean, I want to, to lose weight, but there is something holding me back. I'm not quite what it is yet, so I am going to wait a little longer to decide if it's the way I want to go.

Anniversary Gift

D & I will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary in May. We have never really given each other a memorable anniversary gift & I told D that we had to for this one since it is a milestone. I was looking into a personalized gift for him. I want something very special. Something that can always been looked at & will symbolize the last 10 years together.

Car Parts

Our car has been sitting in the front yard ever since a tree landed on top of it. Actually it was moved once. From the backyard where the tragedy took place, to the front yard. We really wanted to fix the car back up, maybe we could look into some Mopar performance parts, to use to get her back into shape. I know I would love to have her back up & running. I was so looking forward to be a 2 car family. But thanks to that stupid tree we now have an amazing newer car, but are still a 1 car family.

Date Night with D

Last night we had such an adventure filled date night. They involved me being hugged by a strange man, a Superman doll being won, boots bought, D was called a lady, all you can eat shrimp, Michael Jackson's #1's, a UFO sighting & some Sonic treats.

Insurance plans

I have family & friends that live in North Carolina. Some are in the military, so I know their health insurance is fine. But some friends went for awhile between jobs where they have no insurance. I'm sure that they had gotten some NC short term health insurance, until their primary insurance took effect. We had to go for awhile without insurance & I think I prayed everyday that we would be ket safe & well, so there would be zero medical bills. And thankfully we were just fine.

Naturally Aging

People are always on the lookout for whatever can make them the best that they can be. And I'm sure most are in such of natural anti aging products, especially in this day & age of "going green." Me personally, I don't really care if it's natural or not. Sure natural is so much better, but I am so not a label reader. If I like it & it's natural all the better I suppose!

Iron Out those Wrinkles

When I used to work in the cosmetic industry I had to sell what was considered the best wrinkle cream. But the next 6-7 other make-up counters said theirs was the best all so! I'm not complete sure who's is the best. Their are some people that think the more expensive the better it will work. While others find that cheaper drug store creams work just as well, if not better. So what I say is find what works best for you.

Natural Stuff

I would love to find some good natural appetite suppressants. I don't think I have ever taken natural ones before though. I have always taken over the counter stuff, plus a few times I have used prescriptions. I have found I have always needed some kind of aide to help with weight lose. I wish I didn't, but it's the only way the pounds go away.

Face Cream

When I was little & thought it was "glamorous" to sit at a dressing table & apply a face creams. My Granny had one of those jars with that thick goop inside. I loved the smell. When I got to the age when I thought I was old enough to need face cream, I purchased myself a jar. I thought I was so grown up!

Acnefree

When I was a young teen, I didn't have to use any acnefree products. But I was very desperate to fit in & since according to the world teens have acne, I would get my Mom to me buy these products so I could use them. Especially those medicated pads...It makes me laugh now. But thankfully, I didn't need any of that stuff like so many do.

Moving On

D & I moved back & forth from Alabama & California several times, I wish we had just looked into some cross country moving companies, instead of doing the moving ourselves. The last move back to Alabama was absolutely insanity. We had several tires blow out. The temperature that Summer in the desert was 114! And our truck caught on fire, but we didn't realize it until we were already home. Let's just say we were more that ready to get settled & stay awhile. We haven't moved in over 6 years & have no plans of doing so any time soon.

Disney...Maybe?

My husband & I are way overdue for a vacation....I think we need to get away to break up this monotony. We are in a rut....Maybe a getaway to some Orlando villas would be just the fix. We spent our honeymoon at Disneyland & have always said we would go to Disney World for or 10th anniversary....That's in May! Disney I hear ya calling our name.

2010

I think I am still in a bit of shock that it is now 2010! Where did the time go? I hope to make this a year of letting go....Moving forward & not holding back. I am tired of being stifled, but my own apathy. It's time to take charge of my life & stop wasting time.

Got Ya Covered

I am very proud to say that we now have window blinds up in every room of the house! It took a while to do so, but all windows are now covered. So goodbye sheets & pieces of material that was tacked up way longer than I am willing to admit! Haha! Now to get curtains in all the rooms. But I do have them up in the living room & kitchen.

New TV's

I there was tons of led hdtv's opened on Christmas morning this year....But not at my house. Sure we wold like one, but I do not see us getting one for many years. We have several newer TV's & are not "in need" of an upgrade any time soon. I know there are some people who are electronics junkies, but are family isn't apart of the keeping up with the Jones's. And I am quite OK with that.

Christmas morning with 2 of my favorite gifts! Not pictured season 1 of The Lucy Show.

Loose Some

As soon as the holidays are over I am seriously considering finding me some weight loss products, to help get these pounds off! I am tired of yo-yo dieting. I loose a good amount & then gain it back. It's better to just stay overweight, than to have your body go back & forth so many times. I'm sure which route I may go, but go I will

Medical Stuff

My inlaws house is fitted with all kinds of medical equipment. It first began when my mother n law was taking care of her own mother. So one of the bathrooms had the lifted potty seat, along with a chair & handles in the tub. Then my mother n law's health began to fell even more after the death of her own Mom. So more medical equipment began to fill the house. We haven't been there in over 6 years so I can't even begin to imagine what all is in that house now.

Everything But The Kitchen....

A few Christmas' ago Mom got a new kitchen sink. It still has not been installed. Last time I saw it, it was leaning up against the wall with books stacked into it! Now Mom is also in need of new counter tops & a kitchen faucets. Heck! She just needs a whole new kitchen! I would love to see her have a kitchen of her dreams. She deserves it. Plus she is an awesome cook!

The Pink Lucy Tree!

Big Business

My little business venture has really taken off in a way I never ever dreamed. I thought I would make a few ornaments this Christmas. But at the end of the season it will be well over 100! And if I could have left the order deadline open longer, I know there would have been even more. There were quite a few people who said they were going to order that didn't. I am wondering if I should look into some business plan writers. I have no clue where this little hobby is going to take me.

Big Computers

I remember back in the 80's & seeing movies & TV shows, were they had big industrial computers. They would take up entire rooms! I thought they were monsters. I wonder how an industrial computer would look now. Everything is so micro-mini these days. The smaller the better. So, I'm sure they are no longer the monster sized ones of 20 something years ago.

More Picture Space

I love my digital camera & I take tons of pictures. I think I am needing a new micro sd though. I am running out of space on the one I have now. They always have some god deals on the during the Black Friday sales, so maybe I'll get a new one then. I just use it as a stocking stuffer. I love buying stocking stuffers....And I love to get them!

Weenie Roast!

I can not wait for the annual weenie roast tomorrow!!!! It's always tons of fun!

Puff Puff

No one in my family smokes. But my hubs used too. And I know that he has times, when he has urges to have "just one" cigarette. But I'm glad he doesn't give in. People who do smoke have such a difficult time in quitting. People struggle with it greatly. I have several friends, who will stop, but as soon as life gets stressful they immediately run back to cigarettes. I've seen some different things on the news about an electronic cigarette. I wonder how well they work?

Great Car Insurance

I am so grateful, I have not had to use my car insurance but only twice since I began driving 17 years ago. When I first moved to Los Angeles, I was there for very long when I was in a wreck & almost totaled my car. The insurance company I was with at the time, were wonderful! They took prefect care of my car & me. So being so far from home & in a scary situation, wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Smooth Skin

I am going to be 33 in less than 2 months. I have been trying not to think about, to be honest. 30 was a rough birthday, 31 & 32 were good, but I'm not looking forward to this one at all. And with age comes wrinkles! I really do need to invest in some good anti wrinkle cream. Especially something for my eyes. Hey! Maybe that's what I will give myself for my birthday present.

Acne No More

What is up with the acne in my 30's? Geez! I didn't have to deal with too much acne in my teens. But I think I have had more now, than I ever did back in those days. I'm just glad I know how to cover them with makeup! I don't have acne that often, but when I do, it's a whooper! Haha! Hopefully this second round of puberty will end soon.

Fall Time!

Is October really almost over? Next week we will be going to the annual weenie roast at my Aunt Renee's. I love this of year! D & I are thinking of going to a covered bridge festival this weekend. And then we have an annual hayride in the first over November! So fun!!!

Comfort Food

Last year I lost a good amount of weight with the aid of a weight loss pill. I have gained since coming off of it. I have been considering going back on it again. I miss not having much of an appetite. I am emotional eater, so I run to food for comfort. That is not a good thing. You can't say no to food, when it makes you feel better.

Addictions

I seriously have an addiction....To Coca~Cola. I am not joking either, it is bad & I can not stay away from it. I will give it up for a week & then some traumatic happens in my life & I have to have it to cope. Or I get a migraine & need it to help ease the pain. I go out to eat & have to order it to make my meal complete. I can come up with any excuse to have some Coca~Cola. I wonder if there is drug rehab for Coca~Cola addicts? I would so love to kick this habit for good. But I really wonder if there are rehabs for certain addictions? I know there are alot of people here in the South that need rehab for their addiction to SEC football.

Dream of Snow

Ever since I have known D, he has talked about going to Colorado. It is one place that neither of us has been. And what a joy it would be to experience it together. I was looking (just for fun mind you) at Breckenridge. What a magnificent place! Oh how I would love to plan a surprise trip there for D. He works so hard to provide for us. How wonderful it would be to see one of his dreams come true.

Ready to loose again

How many ads are there for the best weight loss supplement? They are everywhere! I was on one of those pills for about 6 months. I loved it! I would still be on it now, but you can only take it for a certain amount of time. I plan on going back on it eventually. That stuff rocked! I lost 50 pounds. But I must say not being on it, has been challenging. I loved the energy I had. I felt like I could conquer the world If only my body naturally kept weight off, without the aide of something! Wishful thinking, I suppose.

So sad

How sad that Patrick Swayze passed away today. The first time I saw him was in the movie "The Outsiders." That film impacted me in many ways. Then when I was in the 4th grade, Dirty Dancing took over. I can still remember the girls in my class all wearing the white Keds & rolled up cut off jean shorts. That movie is one I will watch over & over.

Something that always impressed me about Patrick Swayze was his marriage to his wife, Lisa. They were married for 34 years. Now that is something to be proud of, but for a marriage to last that long in Hollywood, is a whole other accomplishment.

The Magical World Of Disney

For mine & D's honeymoon, we went to Disney Land & have always said that for our 10th anniversary we would go to Disney World to celebrate. Well, that anniversary is coming up next May. I guess I should look into some Orlando hotel discounts. I would rather have a game plan & go on & start saving money. But I am thinking there is going to be something keeping us from that trip, at least for our 10th anniversary. Many we can go for out 15th & take our babies with us!

Better Skin

I used to work at a makeup counter & when I went for my interview for the job, they inspected my skin. I had never had that happened. But they told me I was hired because I had the clearest skin that they had seen. And they knew that my skin would sell lots of skincare. Sometimes it was hard for me to tell the customers, that they reason I had clear skin was because of the products I was selling. Occasionally I would be stopped in the mall & asked what I used. And I would just tell the truth, even at the loss of a possible client. I used baby oil to take off my eye makeup & a bar of Dove soap to cleanse. And at the time I didn't even moisturize. I do know that their are people out there, that honestly just have bad skin. It's hereditary & I was fortunate to be born with clear skin genes. I haven't had the need for any acne skin treatment, except for something to clean up the occasional pimple, thank goodness.

Feeling Better

Do you ever have a gross bloated feeling? Yuck. I hate that feeling. I have heard that a good colon cleanse can help with that. I have never had one done, but I have friends that have raved over them. I also have a friend that owns her own spa & preforms colon cleanses. I still don't know if I will ever do one. But to loose a few pounds I may just consider it.

September?

Is next week really going to be September?!?!? It seems every year that I am older, the year flies by faster. It's super nice outside tonight. It's only 63. Aaahhhhhh....Fall is fast approaching.

Rainy Days In The Northwest

I have never been to Seattle, but it is a place, that I have always longed to visit. I think I would actually enjoy living there, since I am a fan of overcast & rainy days. I bet Seattle personal injury attorneys are pretty busy with all that rain. Rain=accidents in many forms. I love to be home when it rains. I do not enjoy driving in it. The other day, I was out running errands & it came a down pour as I was walking across a parking lot to my car. Thankfully, I now have keyless entry or I would have been even more drenched than I ended up.

Help With Weight

Oh, how I am so over having to deal with weight issues. It drives me nuts & is a constant burden. I need to find the best weight loss supplement for me. I have never been able to loose weight naturally. Only with the aid of a pills or supplement. Not sure why, but my body will just not loose weight, with exercise & eating healthy. I always have to have something that controls my hunger & helps with my metabolism.

Kid Weight

I have always battled the bulge. It has been a part of my life, for was far back as I can remember. And for those that know me, know I can remember things when I was 2 yrs old. Haha! As a kid, I would see commercials for a weight loss supplements & wish I was old enough to take them. Then when I did reach that age, I was right there buying those supplements! There are so many on the market these days. Too many to even begin to keep track off. But back when I was a little girl, there was only one that I can remember.

Internet Ease

Don't you just love the way the internet has made things in life much easier? You can pay bills, watch TV & movies, order groceries or even buy a car or house! Things with insurance are much easier as well. Like buying term life insurance online. I haven't personally bought that kind of insurance, but I have gotten car insurance. Sometimes, I forget what it was like before the internet ruled the world. Now if I don't have it, I feel lost!

So Hard To Believe It

I can't believe he really has passed away....
