In Australia

I didn’t tell you guys that my second cousin moved to Australia. She got an amazing job offer and they paid for the move and everything. She also found a new cellulite treatment Sydney has to offer. It is something she has fought with for a long while. She always has wanted to do something about it and now she apparently can. I am happy that she will be able to feel better about herself. When a woman doesn’t feel good about herself, it has a negative effect oh her life. I don’t want that for my cousin. This www.cellulitetreatmentbysia.com.au should help her immensely.

I am seriously thinking about taking a trip to Australia to visit her. I might even go when she has this treatment. That way if she is sore afterwards, I can give her a helping hand. Then when she is all better, we can go do the tourist thing and see all of the sights. There is so much to see there too. My mother has already offered to watch the kids if I decide to go. That way I am free to enjoy the trip to the fullest. After all, how often do you get to travel to the other side of the planet for a vacation? Not very often in my life.

To be honest, this is probably a once in a lifetime chance and I would be stupid not to take it. Add to that, the fact that my cousin needs a little help after this treatment. I can take care of two birds with one stone and feel really good about my trip. Especially, since I usually don’t take trips without my kids. I will have some latent guilt over that, but I know that I will get over it quickly. Wish me Bon Voyage’!

That hcg is working great

The hgc supplement I have been taking to help me lose weight is working great. I cannot believe it. I have always had trouble losing weight due to my diabetes, but not anymore. I cannot wait to go to the doctors office, so he can see how well it is working. I have literally tried everything. Working out is difficult, because I am so busy, that finding time is almost impossible. Of course just trying to keep up with these kids is a workout in itself. Hopefully, when I get down to the weight I want, I will be able to keep it off. I am sure that it will stay off though, because I am always on the go.

Dental practice valuation

My best friend has to check out the dental practice valuation of two practices that are being sold. The dentists are retiring and ready to sell. It is her job to find out what the over all value is for each business before a price can be set for them. She has a lot of stuff to take into consideration with each business, so they can get a fair market value. The amount of patients the doctor has, their management, fees, reputation, and location are all important. There are other thing as well, but you get the general idea. I think her job is pretty interesting. I wouldn’t mind doing something like that myself. Who knows, maybe I will change careers.

Brrrrrr

Gosh it got cold really quick! The other day we didn’t even need a jacket or sweater, today it is so cold you need hats and gloves as well as your heavy winter coat. This is the reason I have come down with this cold. When the weather goes back and forth dramatically, it make it difficult for my body to keep up. The kids tend to have the same problem as well, more so then I do actually. It isn’t often that I get sick. I just hope that it stays the way it is now and doesn’t get any worse, or I will be laid up in bed for a few days.

Good skin care

I think that some people really don know what to do to keep their skin looking young. Drinking a lot of water and eating foods high in vitamin C will help keep you skin looking young and fresh at any age. You should eat foods that are juicy, such as cucumbers, mushrooms, peaches, oranges, grapes and berries, all of which are made up of more than 90% water. Hope this helps some of you ladies out there.

Black Friday Drama

This year I was glad to see that some people became vocal about their objections to employers requiring them to work odd hours because of Black Friday. If you have ever worked retail, you know that most stores open earlier on the day after Thanksgiving, hoping to make extra money on the first day of serious Christmas shopping.

The problem with them being open on the extra hours is that the employees have to sacrifice sleep and their home life to come into work at insane hours. Can you imagine being a single mom who just knocked herself out cleaning house and cooking all day on Thanksgiving, then having to get up at midnight to go into work early? How does that woman even find daycare at that time of night?

Some employees went to the press this year and protested that having to report to work at midnight was a hardship on them. I feel badly for the people who were scheduled to work the opening shift at any store on Black Friday.

Pesky Bugs!

One of the few bad things about living up north – besides the very cold winter weather – is the black flies. We have flies and mosquitoes in the warmer months and those can be extremely annoying. Most of the time when I know I will be out in the woods or around water I try to squirt a little Deep Woods Off on my arms and neck. But I wish there was an easier way to keep the biting flies and other bugs away from me!

Cooling off the night

One of the best parts of the summertime is being able to enjoy a nice refreshing cup of ice cream before bed.  Nothing is more satisfying than to be able to take one spoonful after the next of my favorite ice cream and not feel guilty.  They have some excellent low fat andlow calorie ice creams on the market.

A favorite flavor of mine is mint chocolate chip.  I just love the combination of mint and chocolate together.  This ice cream reminds me so much of the candy, Andes mints.  When the night is hot the refreshing coolness of the mint mixed with chocolate allows my body to be fooled into being cooler then it really is.  Either way, all I know is that it works!

If I had to choose a second favorite flavor of ice cream then I would have to say peanut- butter and chocolate.  These two flavors in any combination equal pure bliss.  Tonight is kind of sticky and warm.  Since I have the air conditioning on than I think eating a bowl of ice cream is in order.  Now, to decide which flavor…

 

Fresh Air

Finally warmer weather has arrived in time to start sleeping with the windows open.  I wait all year long for the first goodnight’s sleep with the window open.  I always sleep better with the window open.

One of the reasons and in particular the most important reasons are due to the melodic music heard in the night.  Crickets are the most common noise heard but if you listen closely the sounds of the loons and bullfrogs along with the gentle breeze can be heard.  These sounds are delightful and are one thing that city folk cannot begin to understand unless they experience them first hand.

Another reason is for the fresh country air.  The air in the country is very different from the city.  Some may say that the air is different because of the melodic sounds described earlier.  Others simply say that it is due to pollution or lack of pollution.  Either way the best medicine for a goodnight’s sleep is the fresh country air with the band of bullfrogs playing in the background.

Pool Time

Summertime is quickly approaching and I have been dreaming about investing in a pool.  Water is very therapeutic and the thought of owning my own is becoming increasingly more difficult from year to year.  All of the catalogs advertise pools and pool supplies.  They make the pools look very appetizing.  The price on pools over the last few years has come down quite a bit.  I particularly have noticed the price on above ground pools has been reduced.

If I have to invest in a pool this year I do believe I will invest in an above ground pool.  They can be just as relaxing and enjoyable for all who come over to my place to BBQ. Many of my friends have above ground pools.  I can especially make the pool more appealing by landscaping the surrounding pool with flowers and a patio set.  I am very excited over the possibility that I might be floating in a nice turquoise blue pool with a cool drink in my hand and the sun providing me with an excellent tan.
