Apparently NJ costs even more to live than in the good old southern states. I had a friend of mine who moved there after college in one of his many good-natured but ranty emails to me back and forth:
‘Damn I miss the nonexistent bills during college. Power cost an arm and a leg up here!’
Apparently new jersey energy is super pricey. Sucks to be him!
Power Bills Suck - Out of College

Vitamin Pills..have gone natural

I won’t lie. I’ve never been a big gym rat. Hence I never really cared about taking vitamins or eating a special diet. The closest I’ve don’t in ingesting anything daily was some vitamin D and E. I mean the big ‘promote muscle’ growth pills I see around are full of side effects that turn me off to them.
Mobile...in name only.

It used to be whenever I saw ‘mobile homes for sale’, I expected a dilapidated shack of a bus/metal tube. They were a shade bigger than a camper and only shady backwoods types owned them.
But I’ve visited a few acquaintances, and mobile homes are nowhere near like that now. I recall going to a guy’s place (before he moved upstate) and the place was a trailer home in name only. As spacey as a starter home…for a while I so wanted one. But an apartment will do.
Time for some grillin'

It’s getting close to that time. Spring is peeping up. Earth centered festivals are quickly approaching (there’s still a bunch that happen this time of year) and so people are purchasing their big guns. That is, smokers. We southerners love our cookouts. Even the vegan/non meat eaters I’ve met cannot help but pull out the grill and chargrilling themselves some vegan burgers.
Jeopardy

I really love watching Jeopardy with my kids. I think it’s really great that they’re able to answer so many of the questions which makes me think they’re way smarter than I was at their age! I think they’re amazing little ones and that they’re so smart and I know their teachers all think they’re brilliant which makes me happy, too. Who would have thought I’d raise some DirecTV loving, athletic, responsible kids?!
A cabana? Now I've seen everything.

As I looked over the redone old house, I look upon it with envy. A new deck, new siding…that old house grandma owned was looking gorgeous. But I recall that back yard; it was huge. All that was there was a rusted, falling apart shed. Now there a cute wood fence, a deck and this gorgeous wood building. A cabana, I was told. The Cabana looked like a mini garage/room. Like a club house for adults. I’m envious despite not missing that house.
I want to start an apartment garden.

I realized that over the almost year I’ve been out of that old house, that I’m getting more sun, eating better, and am experiencing life. I’m starting to get into gardening. The fun of planting and growing things is rather fun, at least that's the way it appears to me. Maybe I’ll even try floral arrangements? I dunno. This place has huge shelves that can easily hold a row of plants. Have I found a non-gaming hobby? Get. Out.
The road to quitting smoking have gone high tech
Monday, February 20, 2012 at 12:17 PM Labels: {BluCigs,electronic cigs,pp,smoking}
I recall once going to the mall (oh how I hate the mall!) with my mother. I recall that was a day I went to the local Urban Xchange a body piercing place. Ma was (and still is occasionally) a smoker. She isn’t one of those 10 packs a day people, but more half a pack a day. Still, being a wasteful and unhealthy habit she wanted to quit.
