Now most of you know that I recently purchased my xbox 360. This was not a decison that was made lightly. I did alot of comparison between the xbox and the ps3
. I looked at the games to be played, the features included and the options to buy. I was simply happier with the xbox on all those catagories. Now PlayStation does own the contract to Ratchet and Clank (which incidently are the names of my two fire belly toads) and it blows pretty hard that I wont be able to play the new ones. Hm, maybe if I had a friend that has a PS3, I could bribe them into letting me veg out for a few days playing it. But alas, I do not know anyone. Maybe I should save up and buy one of those too. Now that would be awesome.
But it must come after my plasma. I cant do anything until I get one of those.

A few years ago, my aunt and uncle visted the San Diego zoo. Now, Im not a huge fan of California but I do hear that right around there that the climate is amazing. Now if I could find decent San Diego homes for sale and I could acutally afford the cost of living, I think that it might be worth the travel.
Now dont get me wrong, I really dont think that there is anything wrong with people from California, I just dont like all the bloody earthquakes. Where I live right now, we have almost no natural disasters. No hurricanes like Flordia and Louisiana. No Massive earthquakes like Cali. No bugs like Texas (yes I classify that as a natural disaster, then again, I think of Texas as its own natural disaster). Its perfect. Enough of a desert to be warm when you need it to be, but unlike AZ it isn’t the front porch of hates either. The snow comes in small amounts, very rarely leading to a missed school or work day, and then the sun comes out. All bright and shiney to take away the evilness of slippery roads and bad driving conditions. So I guess I shouldnt complain so much, I really do <3 New Mexico.
And YES that is still in the US.

Im out of town right now, about 250 miles from home. Actually, I am at home, its just my parents house. They have a totally awesome 42″ plasma screen tv. Man, I really want one of those. The only thing that they need now is a plasma mount to hang it on the wall. I really want to help my mom shop for one, but thats more to satisfy my want to stare at plasmas as long as possible. With my dad in a wheel chair I think that a mount for the wall would be so much safer (for both my dad and the tv) then having it on some kind of stand.
Now come to think of it, I bet I could fit 42″ of awesomeness in my house if I had one of those. Fable and all things Xbox, would be amazing. Its no fun watching HD if you dont have anything to make it look and sound HD. Then its just normal, and hey, who wants that?

My blinds in my apartment need replacing, badly. The ones in the front (there are only two sets) have a slat missing and the ones in the bedroom are too short for my super odd shaped/sized windows. I am thinking of taking down the ones that are here now, putting them to the side (where they would be safe until move out) and hanging some faux wood blinds. Everything in my house is brown, black, or pine colored. I’m a really earthy person.
Now I have seen some really pretty blinds at Kmart and at Wal Mart. I’d go to Home Depot, but all it does is make me want my own house. Plus the place is so big, I tend to get lost and seeing as my husband and I don’t shop in the same sections, I am wandering the store forever and by the time I find him, I’m super tired and want to go home.
if I had the money I would just hire someone to come in and totally redecorate my house. But, alas, this is not the case. So we just have to live with our own attempt at it.

I think I have found the best blackhead treatment out there. Well, I don’t know how well it works on blackheads but it has been doing some amazing stuff to my skin.
I am not sure why but for the last 6-8 months there has been this really dry area of skin on my face. Now its not like I can hide it. It turns red, starts to itch, and then flakes really bad. Like having dandruff on your face… Not fun.
so now i’m using this scrub, its got these little hard round beads in it and it like power scrubs your face. 2 days of that and Whamo! no more dry yucky spot. Plus my skin is Super soft afterwards and doesn’t get dry or oily. I think I’m in love!

You know, as long as you are healthy what is the obession with fast weight loss pills. I mean, if you are not going to keel over and die from being a little overweight then why is it such a big deal? I know that there is a whole freaky little sub culture out there that feels that looking at someone that is over 110 lbs is obscene but really people, If its not going to kill you, then get over it. The only thing that 110 lbs people have to worry about is if the big girl in the corner is finally tired of getting the stank eye from you and comes over and knocks the crap out of you. As long as you are healthy, you don’t have to be skinny. The only reason that there are “recommended weights” at the doctor is that some people that are over that weight are at higher risk for certain diseases. Again, this is something that I understand. But not all, not even most, people that are overweight are going to be diabetic, lazy, smelly, or any other horrible stereotype that people put on it. Some times it is just the way a person is built on a genetic level. Some things you just can’t change.

About 6 months ago I got a “Depo” shot. For those of you that are unaware what this product is, its a birth control shot that is given to you every three months by your doctor. Now what no one tells you is, you are going to gain about 20 lbs and your face will start to look like you are going through puberty all over again. As if that were not enough, your emotions are completely out of control.
I don’t have much, but I have always had a really nice complexion. Even when I was going through puberty I didn’t have a huge problem with acne. That leaves me without any knowledge of any products, I mean, for the lords sake, I never even washed my face growing up except to get the make-up from last nights party off my face. Now, I am 25 and just now having to worry about things like acne treatments. I haven’t been able to try out alot of products but I have seen several commercials for things like Proactive, murad and several specialty make-up’s that are supposed to not only help by not clogging your pores but also have acne fighting medication within them.
Now, you see, those are only a few. I’m not sure what the difference is, but as with everything else, its trial and error. I think i’m going to just have to start trying things from Wal Mart until I finally find some combination of chemicals to counteract the damned hormones…

I have been looking online to see if I can find a really good low impact work-out program. I’m looking for the best fat burner without too much hard work on my body. I want to get the best bang for my buck. Since I found out that I was ill about a year ago that has been my goal. However, not being able to feel my right side has really made this much more difficult. In addition to that, I tend to get very tired after about 10 minutes of anything. I mean, really, I break a sweat doing the dishes.
You’d think that if my body was working that hard to only stay standing that I would be a twig! No such luck though. I guess that I will keep looking around to see what I can find.
Maybe I will get lucky.

As I was saying before I got caught up in my rant, you can buy weight loss supplements just about everywhere these days. They advertise themselves as “lipo without the surgery”. Now, not all these pills will make your rear end leak fluid or give you a heart attack, but the ones that don’t require work.
My husband and I have recently decided to get Healthy. Not to get skinny (if the pounds come off too, yay) but simply to make our lives a little less risky. I am under the opinion that if you are going to do the work anyway to lose the weight then whats all the hype? Just do a couple sit ups and stop eating candy bars before bed, and WHAMO, next thing you know, those pants you struggled to get into and wore a big shirt to cover the pooch are fitting like they did when you were 15.
So I guess what I am trying to say is that even though alot of people would rather spend 2 months starving themselves and taking diet pills, I’d rather just get off my lazy butt and walk to the post office rather than just jumping in the car for the 3 block trip.
Besides, isn’t walking good for your heart?

I recently discovered that there is now liposuction in a bottle. The drug companies market them as “thermogenic fat-burners“. If you don’t want to do the work but still get skinny you can a) pay for plastic surgery, b) Smoke alot of crack, or c) buy some pills. Its amazing to me how commerical drugs have become. Not only “street” drgus, but Pharmaceutical drugs. I can hardly turn on my television during “day-time” tv without seeing one pill or another either for heart disease, erectile dysfunction, weight loss or depression. Part of me should probably feel offended that the advertisers of these products feel that anyone who stays home during the day has a bad heart, can’t get it up, is fat and cant deal with it all so has depression too.
Now, I do understand that every one of these companies has people working for them that need to feed thier families. I’m not against that. I am against showing commercials for sex/dating phone lines, KY cream and other things involving sex being shown to our children durning their saturday morning cartoons. They won’t let companies advertise cigarettes anymore on TV because they felt that it was influancing kids to smoke. Why do they not think on the same principal that they are being influanced into over the counter drugs and sex by these new commercials?
I think that everyone has just quit trying to fight it so much. Sad but true, I’m starting to believe that “American Family Values” truly died in the 1950’s.
