I have always wanted to live in a climate where I could grow any kind of fruit that I want. I want to grow orange trees, Plum trees, cherry trees, apple trees, and a lot more. I think it would be so awesome to be able to walk out into my yard and pick out different fruit that I want to eat and then take it in and eat it!

I think it is about time for me to add a fat burner supplement to my diet and exercise program. I have been doing pretty good since the beginning of the year with losing weight, but I can use all the help that I can get when it comes to losing weight. I will just add the fat burner to my plan and it will help me to lose weight as quickly as I want to.

I am going to start working on doing healthy cooking after the beginning of the new year. I need to worry more about eating healthy because it is not like I am getting any younger or my health is getting any better. I want to learn more about cooking good food on my George Foreman grill because I love that thing!

I am planning on starting yet another diet when the New Year comes. In January I plan on starting to eat better and exercising more. I plan on utilizing some kind of diet pills when I start this diet as well to help me to lose more weight even faster. I want the diet pills that help to give energy, because I am going to need it!

We were talking in my marketing class about Applebee’s recent promotion that says that you can get 2 dinners for $20.00. This seems like a pretty fair price to me, but the last time I went to Applebees the food was sub-par and the service was not much better. I am wondering if Applebee’s is trying to get more customers because they were losing them because of their food that is getting gross, or if they are just trying to help by offering a nice meal for cheap during an economic downtime.

Last time that I went to Applebee’s I ordered a steak and a baked potato and the steak was cold and the baked potato was old and wrinkly like it had maybe been warmed up a couple of times. I asked the waitress if she minded getting me a new one (mind you I never complain to them making it sound like it is their fault, I am really nice when I ask for something from a waitress) and she kind of gave me an eye roll and went back to the kitchen. When she came back she said they were out of baked potatoes and did not offer me a substitution.

I would kind of like to go take up this 2 meals for $20.00 thing, but I am not sure if it would even be worth it, if it was as bad as it was last time, then forget it!

I was shopping at Meijer the other day and I like to get a different kind of pop to drink once in awhile and I saw the new 7 Up pomegranate flavor so I picked it up to give it a try. I do not know if it tastes anything like a pomegranate because it has been years since I ate one, but it is a weird flavor. I like it, but at the same time it is not something that I could drink over and over again like I do Diet Pepsi. This 7 Up pomegranate flavor seems like something that you would make a mixed drink with because the flavor is just almost overpowering. I do recommend giving it a taste, but do not buy an entire 12 pack or anything, just grab the dollar 2-liter of it to try it!

It was my grandmother’s 75th birthday on Tuesday so my brother, my husband, and myself all took a trip up to her city so that we could go to the place that she likes to eat called Cheap Charlies. She likes it because they give half off on your birthday dinner, but I do not know why that mattered so much to her since my dad was paying for dinner.

My dad is moving to Alabama on Saturday so my grandma wanted everyone to be together before he left, and since she is old there was no real argument to be made. The only thing that sucked was her city is 45 minutes away!

I had some chicken fajitas at Cheap Charlies and they were pretty good. I probably would not have driven 45 minutes to eat there!

I gave both my grandma and my dad 8×10 pictures of all of us in frames so that he would have one to take with him and she could have one for herself.

All in all it turned out pretty good. I hope that she had a happy birthday!

I am addicted to slushies at Sonic! I started talking about the first Sonic opening in my area a couple of weeks ago, and I love it. I like going during happy hour because you can get these slushies for half off between 2-4 pm every day.

I like the real fruit strawberry slushies and the apple juice slushies the best. Coming in a close third would be the regular cherry slushies. I like getting the really big route 44 size which is a 44 ounce drink.

I recommend finding a Sonic just to try their slushies if that is your kind of thing!

I got some steak burgers in the mail today from the Omaha Steak Company because my husband found a really good deal on them. The burgers came in a real nice big styrofoam container that had a huge block of dry ice in it.

My husband and I are going to take it over to his mom’s house and I am going to bring a drink with the dry ice in it to freak out his little sister. I’m gonna tell her that it is witche’s brew or something along those lines. She will think it is really neat.

I remember playing with this stuff in science class, and I looked up to make sure that it was ok to drink something with dry ice in it, and it is totally fine just do not suck in the vapors for too long because they will eat your oxygen and you will pass out!!

I am not sure what we are going to hand out here at my house for Halloween this year. The last couple of years I made some really cute Halloween bags to give to the Trick or Treaters that had a little jar of play dough, a sucker, and some fun size snickers and things like that, but I only had a few kids stop by so I had a bunch of leftover stuff. I am thinking about just going to Sams Club to get a whole box of regular size candy bars to give to the kids for actually going out in the cold to do some good old fashioned trick or treating. It would end up costing me about the same as the bags did and kids love it when you give them a full size candy bar!
