Say What I Think

Summer is almost over and many people have not been able to take vacations because of the price of gas, and let’s not even talk about what the airlines are doing. Vacations especially for kids or adults who work hard are important. It’s a time just for you; you’re not supposed to worry about nothing but having fun and enjoying the rest of your summer or when ever you take your time off for a vacation.
Branson is close it’s easy to get to, my husband and I could drive their in maybe 12 hours, depending on how many stops we make. This last weekend my husband and I where talking about taking a little get away and we spoke about Branson as a possible option. We don’t plan to go very soon, because of everything that going on, but this is the option I like a lot because on our way home we could stop at Grandma on our way home.

Some of the packages they have are the Platinum Package for $457, with this package they have included a gift certificate to either Red Lobster or Olive Garden, a coupon book with approximately 1500 worth of savings, gift certificate to Tanger shopping Center and tickets to the Grand Jubilee. This covers 2 adults, so this option might be nice for a couple going on their honeymoon or maybe their anniversary. Since this is in Missouri, it would be an easy drive from most places.
Another package is the Titanium package, for $812, with this package you will get, for 2 adult tickets to: Legends in Concert, Hughes Brothers, Incredible Acrobats of China, Shoji Tabuchi and Red Lobster/Olive Garden Gift Card. This will cover 3 nights in at one of their places.
One attraction I am personally very interested in is the Titanic Museum they have in Branson, when I saw they had that, I told my husband about it. I haven’t watch the movie of the Titanic because it simply to long for me to sit and watch but I am very interested in seeing the replica.

The other day when I went to Cub foods, I saw the Old El Paso Gordita Dinner kit. I know now since I am back in school, I don’t always have time to make my stuff from scratch and sometimes I need something which is quick. I decided I would try the Gordita Dinner kit, I saw it and felt hubby would like it.
it comes with 8 tortillas and ranch sauce and the season stuff. I want to say the seasoning to me tasted a little bit like cheese, it wasn’t overly spicy it was spiced for me just right. It wasn’t so hot that I needed to drowned it in sour cream. I gotta watch how much milk I eat. I am going to regret eating all this yogurt, sour cream and cheese, my stomach isn’t happy with that choice.
It takes about 20 minutes to make this little dinner, I ended up cutting up all my chicken meat. I needed something fast to do while I was waiting for my professor to call me, so I figured this would be the best. It would be easy enough to just put on simmer if I needed so I could talk to the professor about my questions.
The meat is not included in this they suggest chicken or beef. I would suggest also using grounded turkey meat. Turkey meat taste nice with this. I used chicken but I know turkey normally works well with anything that can be done with beef.
My husband and I both ate a little bit of Bussle boy lettuce which grows while it’s in the freg.The lettuce goes very nicely with Gordita dinner kit, because it’s better then ice burg which is normally used with meals similar to this one.
I did not eat any of the ranch sauce because I do not care for it, so I can’t commit on how that worked with the product. I know sour cream works well, I just simply can’t do ranch for some reason.
The nice thing about this is I don’t need a passport to have Mexican food.

A couple months ago I got a Sony Microvault, it’s a 2 gig flash drive. Vista can use it as additional memory or you can store files on it. I had forgotten, I had it. I bought it with the intention of see if I could back up a couple of files.
I started classes last month, I am in my last week of the first class. The office sure does get hot, and I didn’t want to stay in there to long. I found the flash drive and decided I would see if it would work with my Vista computer and let me read on my XP computer, it did. Vista asked if I wanted to use it as memory, I decided not to because I need it for school right now more.
What I like about the flash drive is that the little USB port thing, goes inside of it’s self. This is great because I can’t some how manage to bend it in my bag for college, like I did with the one the school gave me. This pretty much keeps that from happening unless I forget about it in the computer and lay the computer on it.
I haven’t found anything I do not like about this product, I like everything. It’s small and convenient and easy to carry around with out having to worry about damaging it by accident. I am not saying it’s indusructable because like everything it can be broken. It was on sale, so it ended up being cheap. I knew Sony to be a good brand for electronics, so knowing this help me decide to buy it. Like trying to pick out the best acne treatments, it’s wise to go with something you know is a good brand to begin with.

Last night my husband and I decided to try Umbria Gourmet Pizza here in Bloomington. We had never been there but had seen it little store a few times. The thing I would like to know is how they came up with Umbria, and what does it mean. It reminds both myself and hubby of a Umbrella, I wonder if that what’s behind the name.
They advertised that they sold pizza by the slice, more like one type of pizza by the slice. Last night it was Sausage, which isn’t going to happen for my husband or myself. We decided to go with their 8 inch personal pizza each. Their crust is fairly thick but it was good, although I do prefer another brand of crust. I older the Pineapple and my husband order the roast beef. Both of the pizza looked appealing to the eyes. I honestly can’t tell you what they smelt like because I can’t smell anything right now. The joys of late summer allergies.
The pineapples where huge and very nice looking. It tasted good to, my husband told me I could have more then pineapple but that’s all I wanted was a nice and sweet pizzza. The pizza tasted nice, they served it to us hot, but by the time it got home it wasn’t so hot. It still tasted good but what pizza can’t you just take right out of the freg and eat it.
My husband pizza looked like it had a fair amount of beef, no need to ask where’s the beef.
The customer service could have been improved a little but not to much. I guess since it was our first time they didn’t want to rush us but when we were asking question to each other, it would have been nice if they would have answered. When we went up to the counter they answer our question, and where polite. So maybe they just did not want to interrupt us.
I like Pizza so much better then massage therapy, comfort by food is the best.

Sometimes I like sour candies, when I went to Lunds I had seen a display of Sour Licorice, and figured it be a nice little treat. They are in the flavor of green, pink and red. I would say these are more on the sweet side then on the sour side. Honestly they should be called sugar licorice. I am not saying I don’t like them because I actually do, now I probably will have this tub for a while. It is 1 pound, but it seals and has a little white handle. The label is hard to explain. It kind of pretty.
I haven’t been able to figure out what flavors they are, I am green should be apple, red strawberry or cherry. But I don’t taste it, it just like licorice to me. I will need to start figuring out what the best diet pills are if I don’t stop eating so much candy. These little licorice pieces are covered with sugar, and the pieces are tiny. They are probably choking hazards for little children. This is the first time I seen this brand of licorice, the bucket will probably last me over a month to maybe 3 months.

The previews of this movie intrigue me. I finally got it today in the mail, I can’t say I was disappointed. August rush is about a boy who is roughly 12 years old who wants to find his parents, both of them were musicians and he inherited the gift from them.
August ended up being in a group home or orphanage but I don’t think in the late 90′s there were many of those lift. He was bullied a lot by the other kids who lived in the home, and eventually ended up running away from there to be able to find his parents. He ended up finding a boy who was playing guitar on the streets in NY, who was caught up with a crazy man. August showed he had a great amount musical talent and the guy was a leech. He was probably unsafe and frankly any man that unstable I am sure the police force wouldn’t have let him out and would have placed the children in a safe home. The dude was like on those diet pills that make a person all jumpy.
He eventually finds a church, which has a orphanage of black children and starts hiding there under one of the beds. Eventually he ends up directing the New York orchestras I believe. I won’t say what happened in the end of the movie but it was pretty good. It seemed to have ended abrutly.

My hubby decided to rent monster squad this was a movie made in the late 1980′s. When he told me what it was about, I thought it would be interesting. Lets see their creepy old German neighbor was a Jewish survive even though it wasn’t clear in the movie or at least not said verbally. The character said that he had seen many monsters in his day. When he closed the door it showed the tattoo had received. This was a movie supposed to be meant for younger children but honestly, I do not think they got the point across very well here. That was a very adult type of foreshadowing…..
The movie had hit our most disliked word two times. They had Dracula, Frankenstein, Werewolf, mummy, and a dark lagoon character. Personally I do not think they did a very good job of picking out Dracula, he didn’t really look a vampire or any undead person. He didn’t even look pale like most descriptions I have read of vampires but this was the late 80′s so maybe they just didn’t have a good clue.
The town kids had a monster club but when the monsters came they where ready to fight. This was a interesting movie, but I wouldn’t recommend it for children. I would say maybe at least 13 years old would be okay but it is still questions. I wonder if they had NC health insurance. By the end of the movie the creepy neighbor had made friends with the kids and pretty much saved the town with them.

We have a Papa Murphy’s about a mile or so up the road. I do have to say I don’t much care for there process of making their pizza. They don’t seem to much care about cross contamination. This is a important thing for me to watch. The last couple of pizza hubby and I got from there have actually caused me an unhappy stomach. I have a couple food allergies which can be unpleasant, my hubby has one food allergies. When ordering a pizza even though I would like the ingredient on my pizza I don’t get it. I figure it’s not worth the risk, and he don’t get beef products on a pizza we share.
The last time we went in we order a half cheese, tomato, green olive and the other half a veggie with spanish, and green olives added to the other veggies, with out tomatoes and mushrooms.
My hubby was kind enough to grab some of their Herb Cheese Spread. Now I really like this stuff, it’s more of a shaker type things. I am forgetting the brand this is similar to but I think Papa Murphy’s is better then the well know brand. The other night I made spaghetti and meat balls. I make my meat balls from scratch they are yummy. I don’t do them like other people do their meat balls I use a lot of fresh herbs and put in some of the green onions finely cut up. The herb Cheese spread makes a nice little addition to the spaghetti, it’s not to full of Herbs that it’s over powering.
I guess it complements most Italian foods, I might try it on a dish tonight if I decide to make it tonight. I still have to go grocery shopping maybe when I am out I should price out laptop memory. My laptop running a little slow hopefully in the next 2 to 3 months I can get a new one for school. I will give this one to my hubby. It will cover his needs nicely but for college it is the bare minimum requirements and I would like to improve upon that before the school changes their specs again and I have no chose but buying a new laptop. Well if I do it before the year end I guess I get a good chunk of right of for school.

I really do enjoy the Secret brand. It is one of the few I can wear with out breaking out from it. I always get the Clear Gel because it doesn’t show up on clothes, if I put it on first or at least it shows up less then the white stuff. I needed to stop for some batteries for my electronic dictionary which I found out is broken, oh well I will have to replace that after I replace my laptop. I need a new one and found the one I want, it will be over 600 by the time taxes and shipping is added.
I found a new scent to me, Brazilian Cherry, it really does smell yummy. I will have to remember when I have kids, to make sure this is up out of the reach of them. It smells so good it will probably be easy to mistake as candy or something. It works as well as other, I don’t sweat a lot, so I don’t need very strong anti-antiperspirants, during the winter I don’t even need it. The label on this bottle is very pretty it’s kind of girly but in a good way. It shows a bunch of little cherries on it and has it name on it in a while little bubble I guess. The flavor is in a reddish pink color in a little oval bubble. I am not sure what else to call their shape. This is a clear gel, so it is prefect for me.
Lets see some of the problems I have noticed with this, once it get to be a couple of months old the gel starts turning a whitish color, and sometimes it drys out. I don’t much care for this when it about 4 to 5 months old it starts looking a little brown. Okay it starts drying out I normally end up throwing out the bottle because I don’t want it all over my clothes. I do enjoy the scents a lot, but I honestly don’t use a lot of it until summer then I do every day. I uses it once in a while in winter so normally a bottle will last me all winter and then some. Summer it normally last about 1 1/2 to 2 months. I have noticed sometimes the little turning things doesn’t always give the desired effect. But for the most I have never had trouble with it, only one bottle I really had trouble with. It little top thing keep trying to come off and then I had it leaking out of the side. I ended having to throw it away. Otis my cat as found one scent he really likes, sticking his nose in my arm trying to nipple it. Doesn’t feel very good, you’d think I put meat under my arm, I want to say it was the vanilla one Otis liked a lot.
What I would like to know is why on every single bottle of Deodorant there always a warning, if you have kidney desease talk to your doctor.
I can use this because it is very mildly scented, which is nice because sometimes scents trigger me off. I have found a couple that don’t agree with my asmtha. I am glad my friend introduced me to this because it is great. I wonder what scent Lipovox is.

Last night I came home after class, and my husband was playing Guitar Hero 3. We have had it probably since it came out or a little before because it was one of his review games. Let me say since I play regular guitar this game is a little frustrating for me because it not exactly like a guitar. It a little different. The similarities are pretty much you use both hands to play it, and it in the shape of a guitar. There are no strings, and to strum there is a little thing in the middle of the guitar body, on the head you have your different colors. This is hard because your not making cords or anything, your just following what on the tv to do.
Now don’t get me wrong I do enjoy the game and it’s fun. I think I might play a little bit in a little while, if I have time. I know I gotta start setting up my homework, I don’t do homework on Friday night and neither on Saturday. So today I should do a little bit. I will probably just get it ready for next week reading. I have a learning team assignment and I think I might do that on Sunday and just turn it in then. I know they want it by Tuesday. I might not have Sunday to do homework if we go to his parents and I am thinking we will. We need to go at least this week since we didn’t go last week.
Guitar hero had a few add on that my husband had. Last night he was dressing up his band which I thought was neat, there were I want to say about 5 categories and in those categories there was a couple outfits. I believe each one has to be opened by achieving things in the games. I am not sure, I haven’t had much time to play lately, although I really do want to play. I have been a little busy lately. We will need to get some recharge able batteries for this or else we might need to play replace battery and with in the next year, we’ll spend almost as much as the guitar hero game was on batteries. We have many games to play and some of them I love and some of them I hate. I love Guitar hero when playing it. I think it funny sometimes that they have different levels, and if you make so many errors in a song then they will make you start it over or simply just stop the song. There is a point system and after you hit so many notes right you get to do cool little things with the guitar.
To charge most of the remotes we have for the PS3 we have cables similar to those of HDMI but guitar hero isn’t like most of the remotes it’s not rechargeable. This is one thing I do not like is, we have to keep replacing the batteries.
