Waiting for our dinner to be delivered

by

My husband and I are treating ourselves tonight.

We’ve been on a very tight budget since we got a new car in August. Finally … things are looking a “little” better. Not great, but we have a little breathing room.

So we’re doing something we having done in months – we’re ordering food in for dinner. Swiss Chalet. Mmmmm. I can’t wait until the delivery guy gets here with our chicken dinners.

The last time we ordered in from this restaurant the guy had something that looked like a barcode scanner that he used on our debit card. It was kind of cool. We’re paying cash this time though so I probably won’t see that gadget this evening.

Do you eat out, get take out or get food delivered to your home very often? If so, how often?





My back is aching again

by

My back has been hurting again lately. I’m disappointed because, for the last month or so my back was doing very well.

I’ve just quit smoking and I’m taking a medication called Zyban to help me quit. This medication and I suppose quitting can make you tense … maybe my muscles are all tensed up and that’s why my back is suddenly aching again?

I haven’t been sleeping very well the last week or so either. I keep waking up after a few hours with back pain. It would be amazing to have one of those adjustable beds as I’m sure I’d finally get a good nights sleep. Not to mention the fact that my back probably wouldn’t hurt as much, if at all.

Maybe once I’ve been quit smoking for two weeks or more my body will relax and if I’m lucky my back will stop hurting again and I’ll start to get some good sleep again as well.

I can’t believe how fast I’m losing weight

by

It feels like my body is changing almost every week. I’ve been losing weight over the last 5 weeks or so thanks to a migraine medication that I’ve been taking since August.

I think I’ve lost about 15 pounds or maybe even 20 pounds so far.

I’ve been off work due to illness (Crohn’s disease) for close to five years and in that time I’ve put on a little bit of weight due to inactivity. Now in just five weeks I’ve lost a good portion of the weight I needed to lose. It’s like I’ve taken the best fat burners in the world or something. It’s amazing.

Of course, I’m hope that it slows down as I get closer to my appropriate body weight. Have you ever lost weight really fast? It’s a little scary isn’t it?

Thinking about getting a home security system

by

The other day our next door neighbors, the ones in the house that’s attached to ours, knocked on our door to tell us that they were thinking about putting in a home security system.

Earlier this year they had talked to us about our shared fence. Sometime in the very near future we’ll be replacing our fence and we hope to work out a deal by getting the work done on our yards at the same time.

I guess our neighbours figured that since we were interested in saving money on our shared fence that we might also be interested in seeing if we could get a discount with the security company by having them come in and put security systems in both of our houses at the same time. They’d already asked the security company and they’d give us a 15% discount if we got a security system at the same time. So … we’re thinking about it.

Our neighbors want a home security system for several reasons – 1. they live in a corner house so they have more security concerns, 2. they have a young child so they’re worried about child safety and 3. most security systems also have quick call buttons for fire, ambulance and police so that’s another safety feature that they’re interested in.

We’re going to think about putting in a security system. Money is pretty tight right now so we might hold off on the offer, but we’d love to get one. I know our home insurance company would also give us a discount on our home insurance if we had a home security system too. Another thing to think about I suppose.

Do you believe it when Celebrities endorse products?

by

When I’m not feeling well in the evening I tend to stay up late watching TV and doing things on my computer.

Usually I watch TV channels that play either old comedy shows or animations like The Simpsons and South Park when I’m late. I guess the humor and perhaps the familiarity of the reruns makes me feel a little better when my body is not making me feel so good.

One thing I’ve noticed is that sometime after midnight the channels that play all these old rerun shows tend to have a lot of mini-infomercials and acne treatment commercials. Of course each acne commercial sweats that theirs is the top acne treatment and they always seem to have a celebrity endorsing the product.

I have to wonder if the celebrities endorsing products like acne and skin care treatments really have ever tried the products. I mean, their skin is so clear. I suppose they do use something, but I’m sure they all have dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons giving them special skin treatments as well. What do you think? Do you believe celebrity endorsement of products?
