Ah, The Teenage Years

I had terrible acne as a kid. I still have scars around my mouth where the acne was the worst. I have patches around my mouth that can't grow facial hair as a result of the acne I had. I was told as a kid that the best acne treatment is to wash your face every day. As a teenager working in a fast food restaraunt, I had two things going against me as far as not having a greasy face. I think no matter how much you wash your face as a teenager, you are still going to break out. Dang hormones.

Commercials

We recently killed our satellite subscription. We were down to only watching about 10 channels on a regular basis and paying for 50. Plus, we get most of the channels we watched for free because they are broadcasted. One thing we have noticed and love to listen to are the drug commercials. Their nothing like a phenphedrine review or anything, but I think they come close. They spend about 10 to 15 seconds stating what the drug fixes and then the rest of the commercial talking about what the drug may break. My wife and I just think that is too funny.

Remodel Needed

We really want to remodel our kitchen someday. When that day comes, it's going to be a major remodel. The kitchen hasn't been updated in years, outside of some new paint. We really want to replace the flores and the counter tops. We're not going to do anything really fancy like zero radius sinks or anything. We just want to update the kitchen and get it into the 21st century. Most of the kitchen is still in the 80's.

Family Moving, Sort Of

The last couple of days I have been helping my father-in-law move some of his stuff out of his house. He is losing his house and just wants to find a place for him, which will probably mean an apartment. He needs some space to store some of the stuff that is at the house. So, I volunteered to store all his tools and camping gear at our house. He said we can use any of it we want. What I worry about is that we will be holding onto this stuff forever. Beleive me, I don't want to have a packed house unless the stuff packed in the house is all mine or my family's.

Brings Back Memories

It has been raining so much here lately. It reminds me of my days in Virginia. My first week living over there, it rained every day. We have recieved ove an inch of rain so far. I'm ready to contact Outer Banks rentals to go visit a place where it rains everyday. I love the rain. Living in a dry desert my whole life, I'm very glad to get any moisture possible, expecially if that moisture doesn't come in the form of snow.

Get The Name Out

I think I need to get the fact that I lost 37 pounds in 5 months out there more. I see shows like the Biggest Loser where people lose entire bodyweights just dieting and exercising. I'm sure they get all kind of free stuff as a result of being on that show and sticking it out. I haven't even been hit up yet for Decaslim reviews. I just lost weight by eating right and exercising. Not really that complicated and, yes, anyone can do it.

Back In The Day

When I was about 10 years old, I started to learn to play piano. I didn't do it for very long. I beleive I only took lessons for a year, just long enough to qualify to get into band. I did play in one competition, though, and came like two points shy of a perfect score. I got to play the main piano of the music building at Ricks College as a result of that score. I wish I knew how to play piano more. My fingers just aren't that coordinated anymore.

Hooray For Rain

In the desert, you should be happy to get any rain at all. Well, we have gotten over an inch of rain so far in the month of June. That's crazy!! June is one of the hottest months in Utah and so far it's been very wet. I love it. It lets me turn my sprinklers off and save the water bill. It also gets the grass, garden, and flowers watered more than I ever do. What I seriously find funny is when it rains for a while, the news people start asking when it will stop raining. Then when the rain stops and stops for months, they start complaining that they need rain. People, be happy with the rain you get IN A DESERT!!! Bring on the rain.
