I had no idea that lipovox helps with losing weight, reducing wrinkles and fighting acne. I’m not worried about the wrinkle thing at this point, I’m still told I look between 18 and 23. No worries about that just yet. I am, however, concerned about the breakouts and losing a little weight, as I’ve previously mentioned. Who would’ve thought I could combat the two with one “fix?” Not me, that’s for sure. It’s like killing two (or three) birds with one stone. Is it too good to be true though? I don’t know, but I feel like it’s definitely worth checking out.

Speaking of health related things; I think I’m getting yet another cold. It’s just like we pass these bugs all around and just about the time we feel like our old selves again, it hops right back into our systems. I don’t think this weather is helping very much with these bugs either though. Hopefully when it gets warm and stays warm, we’ll all feel a lot better and can FINALLY get rid of these bugs for good.

Well I’ve made it through April’s birthdays and nearly half-way through May’s. I still have my brother and sisters Nikki and Connie to worry about that. Plus my sister in law has a birthday in June. My sister in law will be easy to please though. She likes handbags and the color pink. I don’t think I can go wrong with this one. In fact, I found a really cute pink handbag by Moschino on eBay earlier today. It’s sort of hot pink, with a cute bow on the front. I’m just not sure about the gold chain strap that it’s sporting. Silver maybe, but the gold, I’m just not sure she’d dig that so much. She may though. I would just really hate to spend over a hundred bucks on it though. Especially if there was a chance that she wouldn’t like it. I hate telling someone I don’t like a gift. I wouldn’t want to hurt their feelings. Even if she hated it, I think she’d say she loved it. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone that was rude enough to say they didn’t. Ha, ha.

Ah well. I’ll just have to keep a look out. I’m going to watch the bag for the night and maybe ask my mother in law what she thinks about it.

We, my husband and I, have been told we’re a silly couple - in a goofy, lovey dovey kind of way. I don’t think we’re that silly. I think a lot of couples say and do some of the things we do, just to make one another giggle. I could ask Jo something like “Do you still love me?” To which he’ll reply “Like a toothache.” Another example would be when Jo asks me “Still love me?” And I’ll reply with “I love ya more than my luggage (from Steel Magnolias).” Jo also picks on me because of my accent. He says I sound way too much like Paula Deen (from Paula’s Home Cooking on Food Network). He says I say “Hey y’all” with a really bad southern drawl, which reminds him of the way Paula starts off her show. Ha, ha. I guess it’s true though. I am from Georgia. In fact, my hometown is about an hour and a half away from Savannah, Georgia (where Paula Deen resides, and runs her restaurant).

I know we’re not alone with our silliness though. I bet you have little things between you and your significant others too!

I’ve got to learn to say no to sweets. Man, I’ve become so weak for the sweet stuff lately. It’s absolutely ridiculous. I don’t think I’ve put on any weight in the last couple of weeks, but I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if I needed to invest in diet pills sooner or later. I’ve never craved sweets as much as I have over the last few months. That’s a really, really bad thing too. You see, I’ve been trying to make some lifestyle changes. I want to live a healthier life, and that includes eating better than I do now. Growing up in south Georgia has made that so hard because our family grew up on “comfort” foods, which taste so good but is horrible for one’s health. I’ve sort of given up my love for most comfort foods, but it seems I’ve now replaced my love of macaroni and cheese with chocolate, or anything sugary. I’m not sure which one is worse, but I’d like to give the boot to them both!

My father in law recently celebrated his 43rd birthday and some of the guys he worked with have gotten a good laugh about that. Not because he’s 43, but because one of the young guys that works with him thought he was around the age of 55. Of course he doesn’t look that old (not that 55 is that old, but you know), so I’m not sure what made this guy think that. We still tease Terry about it too, here at home. Like if he says he can’t see something, or forgets something.. we sort of pull the “that’s what happens when you turn 55″ thing. Ha, ha. Next time he’s in pain, or sick, I’ll have to remember to ask if he’s got medicare insurance. I hope I don’t get disowned for that one!

He’s been a good sport about all of this though. I think he enjoys that everyone cuts up with him, he’s just that kind of guy. Loads of fun to be around and doesn’t get upset when we “dish it out” to him!
