In all honesty I wouldn’t have any idea what to say about medical travel Mexico, or Mexico in general. I wouldn’t mind traveling there at some point, but there are so many other places I’d rather go. Ireland for one.

Ireland captured my heart and my imagination when I was just a young girl, and that interest has never disappated. I read books about Ireland, love watching movies set in Ireland, love looking at pictures of Ireland. Not the cities mind you, but the countryside, the way Ireland was meant to be, in my opinion.

I’ve never been big on gaming systems, whether it be the xbox 360, or the old original Nintendo. I do have a PS2, but it almost never gets played, and I think I have a total of 4 games for it. I had a Nentendo 64 that I gave to my Dad, because there is one game that he likes to play on it from time to time. They are fun, and have their place I suppose, but they just don’t have a big impact on our lives, or have a large place in what we do. I’d much rather watch a movie, or play games on the computer as most of the computer games are MUCH cheaper than buying system games.

Christmas is my all-time most favorite holiday by far. I LOVE Christmas. It seems every year Christmas isn’t the way I wanted it to be, always a bit tighter money wise than I expected, or like this year, our lives a bit up in the air, but all in all, I know that Christmas will be a happy and joyful time. I can’t wait to start sending out Christmas invitations, and Christmas cards. I’ve already bought a few gifts for the kids, and am hoping that I can do more soon, but I know that gifts aren’t what makes Christmas special. Family is.

There are times that the weight loss industry concerns me. The hype on being model thin….I think too much emphasis is put on being thin, not that I think people should be fat, but when young girls 9-12 or so, are considering taking diet pills I have to wonder. All that they see is that they are bigger than the girls on tv, or some of their classmates, or peers, they don’t see that they are unique in themselves, and that they are special whether they are as thin as the tv stars, or the girl that sits next to them in class.

The best weight loss pill for me, is keeping busy. *LOL* Okay so that isn’t exactly a pill, but it sure has helped over the past year. I’ve lost 30 pounds, and all of it is from keeping busy and active and trying not to pig out on junk food. Working around outside, cleaning up the yard, playing with the horse, etc. as well as keeping the house clean, to include several trips up and down the stairs most days is what has done it for me. I intend to try and stay busy, although at the moment I find myself glued to the computer, trying to get business done. *LOL*.

My preschool furniture consisted of a twin size bed, because I wasn’t going to spend the money to buy a toddler bed, just to have them grow out of it within a couple of years, and for the table, well a fat phone book always worked pretty well for a booster seat. *LOL* Part of the problem was having money enough to buy the preschool furniture, but another part was simply that is what my parents did, and I did okay with that, so surely my girls would be okay with that too. I am not sorry that they didn’t get all the latest and greatest things, then or not.

You all should know that I don’t worry about appearance all that much. I like my house to look nice, relatively clean, but as for colors matching on my furniture, well, that’s not a high priority for me. A free home designer consultation would be kind of cool, if they would listen to me, and realize that I’m not into the latest trends, and would try to follow along with the decor themes that I had in mind, instead of doing something ultra modern, which just wouldn’t suit me.
