Adaptation

Do you remember when barcode scanners first showed up in stores? I don't remember the exact year but I do remember their entrance into retail. People were up in arms about it. How were we supposed to know how much something costs if there is no price sticker on it? Its funny that we quickly adapted to looking at the shelf to find a price. Today its as if price stickers never existed for the most part. Sometimes you find a store that still uses them but not very often. Technology phases in and out so quickly anymore that I think we adapt that much quicker. I still love those old price stickers and cash registers though.

BAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I am going to start reading weight loss supplements reviews. I am so tired of not being able to stay on track with any sort of diet or eating plan! It would be great if there really was some sort of magic weight loss pill available. I know there isn't. I know that the key is to move more and eat less. I don't know why I can't seem to put that into action though. I am looking at another way to go about losing weight. I'll let you know if I think it will work for me or not.

Trip Plans

I have been checking out some travel deals for when we go to Springfield. I would love to be able to get a hotel room for the night. The only problem is that we now need to have 2 hotel rooms. So I have been looking for really cheap deals on hotel rooms so that we can afford to do that. We are going to go to the Lincoln Museum and whatever else we can fit into the weekend that does cost too much. The Lincoln Museum is surprisingly inexpensive and I know that the Old Capital Building is free. Whatever we do it will be fun!

Gardening to Weigh Loss

Whew! One way to really burn fat is to spend hours in the garden pulling weeds and laying grass clippings between the plants. I feel like I live in the garden lately! Before you know it I will feel like I live in the kitchen taking care of all of the produce from the garden. As long as I can keep up with watching what I am eating, I should be able to drop some serious pounds in the next few months. Gotta love that!

Whew

We have been running our fool heads off this week! We have had 2 softball tournaments going at the same time this week along with games for another league and a couple of basketball scrimmages. Whew! Who needs the best diet pills! All you have to do is have kids involved in summer softball. That being said, we will be cutting down on the softball next summer. There is no need for our kids to be over involved in anything and that is what has happened this summer. Last Saturday was the first family day we have had in more than a month. I don't know about you, but I think that is plain wrong. We are really looking forward to the last tournament (that starts next week) to be over! We are looking forward to some home time and some family time and some time to get things done around here.
