Mya and I had a wonderful time on our vacation to Orlando. We were there from June 20th through the 30th. The first 5 days we stayed with my friend Kristina and her husband. Mya had a great time playing with their little puppy Max and jumping on their trampoline.
The weather was really hot. For the first few days it was 97 degrees and very humid. We didn't even go swimming because the pool water was so warm it didn't really even feel refreshing. One thing I do like about hot weather like that is that, for me, it is an appetite suppressant. I just feel a lot less hungry for some reason.
We did do a lot of fun things while we were there. One thing I realized is that, if you have kids, there are a lot of inexpensive things to do with them in Orlando. Chuck E Cheese is cheaper than one up here. We also took her and my friends daughter Alexis to Monkey Joes, which is located at fasitival Bay on International Drive. it is a place full of giant inflatable slides and things to bounce and climb on. We were there for 5 hours and it only cost me $4.99!
Of course we did also go to The Magic Kingdom. Mya was in awe. She wouldn't go up to any of the characters to get her picture taken but she still loved seeing them and she LOVED the parades! She wet on as many rides as she could but her favorite was definitely the Tea Cups.
Mya even enjoyed riding on the airplane, although she really missed out on most of it because she feel asleep right after we took off and didn't wake up until we were landing! I took a lot of pictures and I hope to have them posted here soon!

Orlando Vacation
Only 2 More Weeks
My summer will officially start in 2 weeks. That is when I will be done with class for this semester. Right now I am working on my final paper, which will include topics like Mesothelioma and Mesothelioma treatment. I need to have that paper done by this coming Wednesday and then on the last week we have our final exam. I have actually really enjoyed this class and will be taking the advanced section of the class when the fall semester begins in September.
A Good Night's Sleep
My back is really bothering me today. I think it's because I feel asleep in a chair last night for about 5 hours. I have a bad habit of doing that. I usually get into watching a movie or TV show and then fall asleep. But tonight I am going to bed earlier. The bed here at my dad's house is actually really comfortable. It is sleep number bed that you can adjust to your own preferences. I love it! I need to get one of those for myself!
The Doctors
Today is a lazy 4th of July. Mya and I are housesitting for my Dad while they are camping. Mya is taking a nap and I am sitting here watching en episode of "the Doctors". Do any of you watch that show? Right now they are talking about Colonix and taking questions from the audience.
I thought about taking Mya to see the fireworks tonight but when we are at Disney World last week she cried during the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom. So I think we might just stay in and watch a movie.

Should I Switch?
Because I am self-employed I have had to find my own health insurance, as opposed to having my insurance provided by a company chosen by an employer. I need an insurance plan that is good for Mya, but also doesn't cost me all of my extra money. that has been especially hard for me to find because I have a pre-existing heart condition. However, I have recently seen a few commercials for insurance marketing to people that have pre-exisiting issues like me. I am going to start calling those companies tomorrow to see if I can find a better plan.

Stemulite
In my quest for weight loss and becoming more physically fit, I have been searching the net for products that could potentially help me reach my goal. One product that I found is called Stemulite.
With Stemulite, you take one pill in the morning and one again at night and within a few days people that have been taking Stemulite have experienced an increase in energy, better quality of sleep and an increase in strength and endurance. I was very impressed by all the testimonials and I especially like that Stemulite fitness formula is all natural.
