The occasional animated cartoon movie can be incredibly good for the soul. I’m so glad we didn’t miss the awesomeness of Kung Fu Panda.
Well, to start with, Po is such a lovable little panda I just feel like tapping his tummy. Well, he’s not exactly little, in fact, he’s really way too fat for those [...]

no more going out for the sake of going out

I’ve been rushing around last weekend as usual, picking up and dropping off my kids, doing my groceries…I didn’t think much of it although there’s this nagging feeling in the back of my mind that every time I step into my car, I’m burning gas and money!
It was hard not to notice though that compared [...]

I certainly couldn’t do it. That’s why I stick to flats when I’m on the go. Not flip-flops though, I’m pretty hopeless [...]

grocery day

The weekend is almost here. This means I need to go get my groceries done. I used to do my groceries on weekends because there seems to be better bargains and promotions and food sampling. Yes, gotta love stuffing yourself silly with mini-portions of whatever they hand out to you.
But Friday seems to be a [...]

banish the headaches

It’s dark outside for a change. But it’s not raining nearly hard enough to beat the stifling heat and humidity we’ve been putting up with lately. I have lots of errands to run and I’d certainly appreciate cooler weather.
I’ve been getting headaches every day for the past couple of weeks. It’s the heat and the [...]
