I was reading David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding article and I wasn’t all that surprised about what they discovered – that most of the food we eat in restaurant chains are unhealthy.

On the top of their list is Outback Restaurant giving us 2,900 calories for its cheese fires.   But then most business establishments have no responsibility whatsoever for the health of their customers.  They want their money that’s it.  Of course, they make their food really taste good, at whatever cost and on whoever’s expense – in this case, the cost is unhealthiness and the expense is at the customer’s health.

It’s more practical to just cook at home.  It’s much cheaper, much tastier and definitely much healthier.  We have full control of what we eat.  I know that most of us are working and we neither have the time nor the energy to cook our own meals.

This is what I used to do when I was working.  I choose 2 days to cook within the week then I freeze whatever it is that I cook so I’ll just have to re-heat on other days.  Just sharing, especially with the amount of unhealthy but convenient food out there….

I know this most probably is the result of hormonal change but, what the hey… I’m going to share it anyway…

I was surfing through the channels and I saw Phil Collins singing in the Disney channel. I love Phil Collins so I let it stay on the Disney Channel…

He was singing You’ll be in my Heart…with the video of Tarzan as a small boy and the Gorilla mother… have you seen that? Well all of a sudden I started crying…

Disney’s for children but somehow they have songs that just hit straight to your heart…anyway…

I’ve been having the normal apprehensions about motherhood. I mean, this is the first time I’m going to be a mother and I kept thinking. I’m all screwed up how in God’s name am I suppose to try and guide the life of another…then I heard this song, one of the best of Disney’s in my opinion.

I suppose this song answers a lot of my doubts…

You’ll Be in my Heart… Forever

Do you get along with your in-laws?

You know, I know that they’re just after the well being of their son and all but sometimes it can be intrusive.

My husband is the eldest of seven kids.  It’s a big family and…well… he’s the eldest son.  It just really bothers me when they get wind of what I do and it’s just somewhat against what they do.  “Against” means different.   Then talk occurs then they start calling and trying to find out why this why that… then the ever condescending “ok if that’s how you want to do it.”

I belong to a small family.  I have two other sisters and my dad.  My mom has passed away.   In our family we have a very simple philosophy, “If you don’t call then everything must be fine.”  That doesn’t mean that we don’t talk to each other by the way.  It’s just that we all live in different states.  My dad though is just a few blocks away from my house which is fine but being “the dad” he doesn’t really intrude on what we do.

Oh well… I suppose there is truth in the saying, “You don’t just marry the man, you marry his entire family.”
