Well, it is flu season again and people are already freaking out over it. I’ve had a few calls from some of our patients parents wanting to know if we had a stock of it yet and if it would cover the swine flu. It is rolling into the hospital now so in a couple of weeks we should have a full supply I’m guessing.

One of my friends nephews is in college and I can only guess by now that his entire frat house has it as it has been spreading through there like wildfire. They essentially have been quarantined in there own place lol

I still won’t get the flu shot though. Don’t believe in it and no one is going to change my mind about it either.

The official season for football starts in less than 13 days from now and I, personally, cannot wait. I have yet to come across any of my boyfriends being a bigger football fan than me but I do have a ton of friends that have the same fanatic tastes that I do. We each have our own teams and will go to the mat for them arguing tooth and nail. Most of the comments so far preseason to me have been that we now have a felon on our team. Hey, we needed a quarterback and Andy knows what he is doing. Gotta believe. Shame Burress plead guilty and took a deal because we sure as heck could have used him this season. Stupidity begets stupidity I guess because he might have shot himself in the other leg given half that chance next time.

There is a new fantasy football site called WaiverWire that is now up and running. It was initially developed by former Wall Street guys. That being said they have put analyzing stats to the test in this. I have been a member to quite a few fantasy leagues and some have come close to the degree of what they are offering but not quite. I won’t mention what the mans team is but let me just say that team is a sworn enemy of mine. He should be worried though about his team and how they might not do well this season. Yep, I went there and I’m sure I will hear some flack from it too but I am calling them as I sees them and he definitely will need the analytical pros and cons from WaiverWire to set him straight. They might also help him choose the better team each week so he will win more pots. One could only hope right? If he needs to debate it even further, there is a forum to discuss with other members. Either way, WaiverWire is offering a free stimulus package that is normally $19.99 for this season that will get you the basic information like any other fantasy league pretty much. The Season Pass is only $9.99, normally $49.99 with more detailed access to the players, and the Full Season Pass is $29.99, normally $99.99 which is the best deal of all if you ask me and includes player projections and draft tools. You do get a risk free trial with this subscription. Better hurry though as this is just for the 2009 season.

Time to learn more food facts according to me. If you are not interested you can move along. As always be sure to check out Fun Craft and Recipes to join each week and to spread the news so others might join as well.

This weeks theme is different. It’s a challenge for us to come up with a meal plan using four ingredients of olive oil, chicken, cheese, and a vegetable.

This could prove to be tough for me. Let’s see, assuming we could use spices I would put some Mrs. Dash lemon pepper seasonings on the chicken and cook it in the olive oil. Once the chicken is out might as well use the same spices and oil from that by putting in some broccoli to cook up really quick. Then cut up the chicken and toss with broccoli and maybe a little Parmesan cheese on top to finish it off.

Kinda of sad too. It is pretty much the same ole thing. Nothing exciting. Nothing new. My car still needs some more repairs. I still think the mechanics went mudding in it after they fixed it as I’m still getting that stuff off of it in the wheel hull.

Well, nothing exciting, nothing new and nothing old really except me I guess. I dunno if that is a good thing or bad thing but there you have it.

You ever noticed that on Nick at nite they play the cool old shows? I never used to watch George Lopez when it first aired but now I watch it all the time and think it is hilarious. I also like watching the Star Wars cartoon they show. I think that might join my collection of toons with Pinky and the Brain, and Aeon Flux cartoon from liquid TV that used to play on MTV when MTV was cool.

I was watching ESPN not too long ago and they had an Ironman event on for women. What I found interesting was how many of the women did that for a purpose whether it was to raise money for a family member or friend to essentially a promise to themselves in that they could actually do it. With that in mind, I am not sure I would ever be in the shape that I would need to be do to one of those. I can barely keep a bicycle upright if it is not stationary, not to mention I can’t swim! That alone would take some sort of feat to accomplish.

Should you have the determination to enter into an Ironman you are in luck as the Ironman 70.3 Branson on September 19, 2009 will be the inaugural race to qualify for the 2010 Foster Grant Ironman World Championship 70.3 in Clearwater, Florida. Considering this is a worldwide race there could be people from all over the world and even some of the popular athletes that you may want to get autographs from. Personally, I’d like to see some football, tennis, and hockey players try this.

When I am not watching the Ironman qualifying round I could go for a walk along the river and lake, tour the museum and maybe even take in a show in any of the 49 live entertainment theaters. Of course I’d also be saving some money by staying at the Hilton Branson Convention Center with a couple of friends. We would make it a great vacation and have as spa day too. I have never been to one but I’m sure I would love it especially with the massages. Probably need a chiropractor verses massage but either one at this point could not hurt me anymore than my back already does. We could book a 2 night stay and get the 3rd night on the hotel as one of their specials which is going on right now. So who is up for a weekend away? I still have about 100 hours to burn before the years up so I won’t lose any of it.

After $895.00 my cars alive and running. Unfortunately they must have shook something up because now it shakes when I’m am going at high speeds. Ya, ya, slow down then but that’s not me. I need some new tires and to get an alignment but that is going to have to wait now. It looked like they went mudding in the thing because the tires are all caked over with mud. My car wasn’t made for that.

I even asked the guy how long do the clutch master and slave cylinders usually last and he said I must have bad luck, which I already knew, and that he has seen these last the lifetime of the vehicle before. Go me
