The kids are totally into their ipods these days. They are forever getting new music off itunes for them and setting them up. I am actually amazed that my 8 year old has learned to do this. I mean I am, but most people are not. It is after all the technology of this day and age and why would she NOT know how to do it. It takes me a little bit to do mine, but she totally is like zip zip zip and away she goes. She takes care of loading her brothers too, which is super cool. He’s 5 and doesn’t have it down. I totally love it because I can plug it in in my truck and not have to worry about buying a CD in addition to the itunes download. So that is what makes me love my ipod. I just back up my digital files in case of the hard drive failures or anything. Anyway… Do you have an ipod? Why do you love it?

So everytime you hit the scale, you really want to see that magical number. I always think in my head… -10 please. Even though I have done nothing that would warrent the minus 10, I just feel the scale should show SOME mercy over the years. It only seems fair, right? For some people they’ve turned to excersise, some to weight loss pills, some to other things, but for me I just remain hopeful that some day the scale will bless me with my minus 10 wish and everything will be okay!! HAHA! Never hurt to be optimistic, right?

It’s the annoying sound from the barcode scanner as you checkout at the grocery store, retail store, etc. The sound that happens right before all your waves good bye out of your wallet and into that drawer of death for you to never see again. I swear, the cost of everything is rising these days and the job market is crashing. How are we to survive? Oh sorry… Just me off on a random tangent thought!

So I read up on some more celebs and the gossip again and I read on Amy Whinehouse again. She’s out of drug rehab but she’s been hospitalized again. This time for dehydration. I don’t know if I believe that. She still looks so SICK to me. I still see pictures of her looking so VERY unhealthy. You can find alot of good information about drug abuse at the National Institute on Drug Abuse. They have information for teens, parents, medical and health professionals, teachers, students, young adults and YES even celebrities. Even in spanish versions!!

I know it’s close to being summer and you have magazines all over the place with pictures of celebs in their bathing suits PLASTERED everywhere, but I just don’t get it. What is with all the fad diets? What is with all the Apidexin and diet pills? I just don’t see the ryhme or reason. What happened to the days when people WORKED OUT? Seriously? Isn’t that what is healthiest for us anyway? I mean do these things really work and is this the reason we’ve lowered our life expectancy these days to the love 60′s and 70′s. I don’t get it.
