Wait for Weight Loss

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

I like my witty titles. I like writing about my futile attempts to lose weight. I want to write about a diet pill that works.

It’s so very hard to find reliable information on products out there and they there is the lingering doubt that a pill will do it. In fact I’m pretty sure that pills are only supposed to aid in weight loss when you are already working on the exercise and proper food portions part of the equation.

Ice Age 3

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

I took the kids to see Ice Age 3. It’s the first time I’ve taken 3 of them at once but all went well and they really seemed to enjoy themselves.

Is there anybody else out there that wishes Manny weren’t such a wuss? Where did the tortured but righteous mammoth from the original Ice Age go? Why does he freak out about the birth? He’s been through this before presumably (referencing the very touching scene from the original in which a baby and momma mammoth are killed by humans in the first one and Manny is clearly effected).

Diego is also a lot more angsty than I prefer for his character.

Over all I would still see this one again before I saw any horror flick so it wasn’t a waste of money.

How Many Vacations Can a Person Pack Into a Vacation?

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

I just heard about one of the airlines doing a special with some tickets as low as $30 each way. Even a family as big as mine could afford to do something with the rest of the summer on rates as cheap as those. My kids keep bugging me to go back to Disneyland but I think Disney World is a better idea so I suppose I should look into Orlando vacations of some kind.

I’ve already been on two vacations this summer – what’s one more? This time around I should really try to stay on budget.
