Tip of the Day

Hate taking pills? Me too! I take several each day, including a bulky multi-vitamin, and I find swallowing them to be a very unpleasant experience. Then I discovered a neat trick - take them with 2% milk. The thick, smooth milk camouflages the size, texture, and taste of the pills. It also coats your esophagus and stomach making them go down smoothly and preventing indigestion. And I love milk, so now I actually look forward to taking my pills with a glass of tasty milk every day. I highly recommend it!

Sorry I don't have anything more interesting to say. I'm completely out of my writing phase and into my movie and TV watching phase. My favorites at the moment are Marlon Brando movies (of course!) Glee, The Office, and How I Met Your Mother. I own the first season of Glee and the first 4 seasons of The Office and HIMYM - I watch them over and over. Anything that makes me laugh is great therapy in my opinion. I'm also enjoying the cooler weather and taking walks as often as possible. I'm still following the Twins and now the Vikes too. I think the Twins stood a good chance of having the best record on the season and home field advantage in the playoffs, but we just have too many key players out with injuries. Now all we can do is hope and pray for their healthy recoveries to come in time for the playoffs. Their replacements have been doing an excellent job, but we really need them back. That's about all I have to say, like I said, sorry it isn't more interesting. Hopefully I'll be back in my writing phase again soon. Bye for now.

A little funny

Sometimes a little laughter goes a long way. I recently finished re-watching Season 4 of The Office (as you can see I've moved from my writing phase into my DVD watching phase).

Angela is talking to the camera in the interview room:

"We have 4 birthdays in the office this month and you know why? Count back nine months. That's right, Valentine's Day. Stagger your sin people!"

That's just SO Angela, I love it. That show is always a bunch of laughs but for some reason that line just hit my funny bone and had me in tears. Ah, laughter really is good therapy.
