For years I have been taking my lunch to work in whatever unique gift bag someone has given my a gift in. (usually one Steven gave me). Well, after a few weeks I find myself stapling them together because they just don't last long enough. Well, I came across the most cutest lunch bags.. Not only are they fashionable BUT they keep your cold stuff cold and your hot stuff hot for 4 hours. They are a bit pricey, but I think really worth it.
I started using the NEW Aqua Fresh White Trays tonight. They claim to be easier then the Crest White Strips. But that would be false. First of all they are small and don't really fit your teeth snuggly. Also they have chunks of this gook that goes into your mouth while the trays are on, and the trays keep filling up with saliva because you cant really swallow that easily when they are on without them falling off your teeth. To top it off you have to leave them on for 45 minutes. However, because I am curiuos to see if they work in as little as 5 days like they advertise I will tough it out for the next 4 days.
So after my cardiologist saga my Medical Dr. now sends me for like 25 different blood tests. This resulted in me finding out that my BAD cholesterol is too high (really not to shocked being my entire diet consist of dairy) and my GOOD cholesterol is to low. Plus I am producing too much of something called Insulin Serum. Apparently this extra insulin has a 50/50 chance of giving me stage 2 diabetes! So here comes the famous & dreaded "Well you are going to have to exercise and loose some weight. So weighing my options of having diabetes or Not having diabetes, dieting sort of won the battle. So I am taking this week to mentally prepare myself, and to say good buy to my friends at McDonald & Burger King.
Love Love Love.... I have been using this site online for the majority of my food shopping. Of course you cant buy meats or frozen items from them. But everything else is there. Your items usually come within a few days. So when you aren't in the mood for the hassle of shopping try this out..
After waiting with anticipation for my day at Woodburry Commons. It turned out to be a HUGE disappointment. If you are going there to only buy high end items such as Fendi, Gucci or Burberry then don't bother. I went there thinking I would be coming home with tons of items and I wound up leaving with a pair of last years Coach sunglasses and 2 T-shirts. Fendi and all the rest of the premium stores had minimal items in them. The shelves were basically bare. Plus the prices were still not even marked down enough for the normal person to carelessly go and purchase. Forgot about Burberry, It was run like a sweat shop! Like I have said over and over again since then. If I am going to pay $500.00 for a bag then I want the cashier to go in her special glass case and unlock it with her special key, and take me out something wrapped, crisp and most of all Brand new. Unlike the bags there that were touched all over with someone's dirty sweaty hands. Oh and the shopping carts.. all I can say was Trash.. We were trash dragging these one-way shopping carts in and out of every store.. All & All the place itself was beautiful and very clean. Unfortunately it wasn't for me.
The last couple of weeks I have been having really odd things going on with my heart. So I go to see a cardiologist, he gives me an EKG and tells me that I have an extra heart beat but "Not to be concerned". Oh Sure! My blood pressure just raised 80 points now , Thank You! So he said that it can be from stress (just like everything else). Anyway, I went to the NEW heart center next to the ER dept by SIUH North. They had valet parking!! and the office was gorgeous... Mostly though the Dr. that I saw spent alot of time with me, and didn't rush me out of there like every other Dr. trying to see his next 150 patients within the hour. At the end of my visit he even wrote down his home Tel. # and told me to call him anytime I felt something was wrong. He even called me at home 2 days later to see how I was doing. Finally a REAL Doctor.
Today my grandfather would have been 90 Years Old!
Today is my nephew Joseph's 3rd Birthday. 
For a couple of months now I have started watching this show on the Discovery Channel. It is about a chef from NY who goes from country to country and eats the most Bizarre Foods of that country and of the culture. Its not like a fear factor type show. He actually wants to try and eat these odd and mostly disgusting things, and he isnt in the least grossed out by them. For some reason I cant stop watching it. Its worth checking out.....

Sooooo, my sister just called and said that the president of the condominium board where she OWN 's her condo. Has just informed her that they are having a Board meeting tonight AND one of the topics is to have a petition signed so that they can have them evicted from the building... Why you ask?.... Oh because one of the other tenant's wrote a letter saying that my soon to be 3 year old nephew makes to much noise at night. I have just read the real estate property Law and according to that there is alot that is needed before someone can be evicted.... However, I also found in that same law one regarding Children Discrimination..... So Little Miss Anonymous you better watch out!
Hey do you remember collecting stickers and trading them with your friends. Well, I just came across a website that sells Scratch and Sniff stickers. I LOVED them. The gasoline one was always my favorite. I would love to also find the stickers with the oil in them too. Fun Times!

So I had these friends who would often invite me and my cousin over for dinners. So being the perfect guests as we are :). We bring something with us. Now normally after the dinner the hosts would put out what the guests have brought. Well they never did. At 1st we blew it off thinking that they had forgotten. But it kept happening time after time. Our desserts were just never served. I believe that they brought them to there next occasion so they wouldnt have to purchase anything or maybe even saved it for when they would invite someone else over for the evening. The last time I was there I wanted to take our dessert back home or just start eating it right there on my own. I didnt think they would have thought it odd being the last time they were over my house they asked if they could have the rest of the beers they brought being there were some still left over. Did you Eva?
OK, so I used to work with my very own Ugly Betty. However she thought she was AWESOME. She smelled of something stale, always had bad breath, wore the same pants at least 4 times a week, and from what it seemed I don't think ever brushed her hair. Although she felt that she should give everyone in the office fashion and hygiene advice. She had once told another co-worker that her hair looked greasy. Meanwhile, she could have greased a frying pan with the oil on her face. She even felt the need to ask me if I was having a bad hair day. Now I brush AND wash my hair, which is one up on her. So what possess people like this to even have the nerve to say these things? Had she of taken any of the advice she gave out then she could have been a super model.

If You Think You're Too Old to Wear that, You Probably Are. 
1) If you are putting packages into you car, but intend to go back into the store for more shopping, you should wave on any cars who stop and wait. So that they, and those trapped behind them, can move on.
This Doctor has people flying in from all over the U.S. to see him. Many employees from the hospital have started seeing him, and they sware that there hair loss has stopped and/or there hair has grown back. If nothing at all they said you get a great scalp massage twice a week when you go for your treatments. I believe the price is 350.00 for 3 months of treatment, after that time you are suppose to see some type of a difference and at that time you will be evaluated by the Dr. He has 2 offices in Manhattan and 1 in Staten Island. I am going to see him next month so I will keep you posted.
From My Cousin Toniann (Steven's Sister)
Some people come to fear Friday the 13th because of misfortune they've experienced on that day in the past. If you get in a car wreck on one Friday the 13th, or lose your wallet, that day is bound to stay with you. But if you think about it, bad things (from spilling your coffee to, well, much more serious problems) happen all the time, so if you're looking for bad luck on Friday the 13th, you'll probably find it.
For those that loved Family Plots as much as I did. I thought you would like to know what happened. Well, apparently this program is being cancelled. A&E's website is set up so that you cannot directly ask them any questions re: family plots. The official Poway-Bernardo site is shut down and if you run a search on them there are many articles involving controversy surrounding Rick and how he has been operating the funeral home without a license and imposed fees which he has not paid as well as other controversies surrounding him. 
Here are a bunch of coupons I received through email. 
There are so many fashion mishaps that I started to name some of them.
Congratulations to Maria & Marcello!

Tonight was my nephew Joseph's 1st Easter Egg Coloring night. He really wasnt too sure of what to do. He had more fun throwing the eggs into the dye cups and watching the dye splash all over the place. However, Dena turned out to be the new Picasso of Easter Egg Coloring. Who Knew?
On April 23rd, Me, Steven, Dena, my mother and of course Joseph are putting on our walking shoes and preparing for an entire day of shopping at the Woodburry Common Premium Outlets. Woo Hoo....
I received this cookware yesterday. I used it tonight to cook in and it is GREAT... 
Actually, As we were running out of the building the security guard yelled out "I know that's you Raymond!", and then Steven turned and said "Yeah that's right" and proceeded to give her the finger.. LOL
