My sister was telling me that I should call 1-800-203-7063 and ask for a free 32 ounce bottle of the Nopalea wellness drink that everyone seems to be talking about. I have been having some joint pain in both of my hips, which is most likely arthritis, but I’m not quite ready yet to admit it or talk to my Primary Care Doctor about it, although I know darn well that arthritis runs in the family, both sides.

Sis tells me that the healing properties of the Nopal cactus has been being used for native peoples for many centuries for a variety of health issues and that she personally knows a few people that have been drinking this wellness drink daily and have seen a significant improvement that they are thrilled with. So all I have to do is call and pay the $9.95 shipping and handling charge to get my first bottle of this all natural wellness drink to see if I can handle the taste of it, since I am known for being an extremely picky eater (and drinker) and then take it from there.

I know I should go see my doctor but I really don’t like taking time off of work to go see him and he isn’t the warm and fuzzy type of person that I wish he would be, but he is all that I have since my current insurance has a limited list of doctors that accept them, sigh…….

I never really understood why the 5th of May was a celebration of Mexican heritage, so I looked it up online and found that Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over France at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. The Internet makes learning things such as this so much easier and quicker than back in the day when you had to rely on your encyclopedias or going to the local library.

I’ve always been fascinated with magic, as most of us are. So when I found out that there is a magician out there that is televising and revealing “Magic’s Biggest Secrets” I was excited to see this TV show. But to tell you the truth now that I have seen how many of these popular magic tricks are executed I am feeling a bit depressed about it all and wish that I had never taken the time to watch the darned thing. It has taken all of the fun and excitement out of the world of magic.

It seems that hoarding is a popular subject on the TV these past couple of years. This is some pretty scary stuff actually, to think that there are so many people that are afflicted by this type of behavior and how it effects their lives, their friends and their families.  I was flipping channels earlier this evening when I came across another hoarder show on the DFH channel called Help! I’m a Hoarder, yet another show about hoarding. This show actually shows a bit more in depth and how these people are being treated for this hoarding “disease” and not just the people tramping through their stuff and their remarks about the situation.

This is going to be a crazy busy weekend with the family Easter dinner that I am helping my sister host over at her house. After work tomorrow I am heading straight over to her place to eat dinner and do a few things before hitting the sack nice and early in her guest room in order to get a good night’s rest before tackling the weekend tasks that I have been assigned and asked to do.

Sis is going to be doing most of the cooking while I tackle the cleaning and the decorating that is needed to be done by Sunday. I’m glad that the cheesecake that I ordered from Cheesecake.com arrived yesterday, that is the only food item that I have been asked to bring to contribute to the meal. Last year the cheesecake that I ordered from Cheesecake.com was a big hit, so I hope that this year it will be just as well received by the family that is scheduled to start arriving bright and early Easter morning to start the Easter Egg Hunt that we always hold for all the kiddies each Easter.
