Get me out of here!

I must say that I'm loving the great weather we've had lately. We've been doing everything we can do to take advantage of the sun and heat!

However, I know it's not going to last forever and I should come up with a plan to get so sun the middle of the winter.

That's why I'm eyeing Orlando vacations. Not only do they have great fun for the whole family....but also perfect weather!

Just keeps going up...

I can't believe the cost of car insurance these days. It's really gotten out of control. In fact, ours keeps increasing each year and there's going to come a point where we can't afford to keep our cars on the road with the cost of insurance, the car itself, and GAS!

Heck, with life insurance, health insurance, car insurance we're spending around 25% of Margot's income!

Must have...

3 strollers.

Now I know this sounds excessive to the person without kids but we have learned that over time you must get the accessory that gets the job done!

We have the:

Travel stroller - Maclaren Volo
Carseat stroller for baby - Peg Perego Aria
Double stroller - Phil and Ted's with double

Each one has it's purpose ... of course at one point we were thinking of getting another stroller. Yikes. Maybe that would put us over our stroller consumption limit!

I'm still looking for the ...

best diet pills available.

When Shawna was dieting she did Xenical and Phenteramine. However, they had awful side effects.

I feel like I need a little bit of a boost and something that will help me suppress my appetite.

Of course, I could just do the logical thing and eat less and move more. I've talked about getting a gym membership for ages and just can't bring myself to pay the outrageous membership costs.

It's got to get better...

Lately, we've had a hard time trying to find the perfect credit card. We go back and forth constantly depending on what deals we can find.

Our favorite is 0 balance transfer. That allows us to put money in the bank in an interest bearing account and then collect some income from that while we pay nothing on our debt.

Of course, at some point it would be nice to have no debt....

A girl can dream, right?

So fat.

Well we're back from vacation and I didn't do too bad with the weight gain. However, I started out chunky and so a few pounds here and there has not been a good thing.

I think I might look into a elliptical to get the unwanted pounds off.

At one point I was thinking that I might get a membership to the gym but everytime I've done that I ended up going a few times and the membership goes to waste.

Having a home gym would give me no excuses to get my butt in gear!

Dead.

To say the least our laptop computer is not working. The other day I was able to get it to start up and access to the desktop but I still haven't been able to get it online.

I'm starting to think that I need to get some laptop memory and have more diagnostics run.

My other option is to buy a new laptop and not install Windows Vista!
