I recently got TV By Direct at home and can I tell you what trashy show I just can’t get enough of? The Real Housewives of New Jersey! I’ve never even been to Jersey so I don’t know why it speaks to me so but I just can’t get enough of those crazy yelling Italian women and their antics. The other shows are good too like the one in Beverly Hills but the Jersey ladies just have it beat, hands down. There’s sometimes even actual fistfights which I just can’t believe go on in the suburbs out there…it cracks me up! It makes it even more entertaining and fun to watch that they’re all somehow related to each other through marriage and blood and that they’ve got to keep coming together for things like parties and Christmas and stuff. My family may be a bit dysfunctional but we’re nothing like these crazy ladies, I can promise you that! My mother would kill me if she ever heard any of us talking to each other like these people do.

I have two high school aged children who will be leaving for college in the next few years. While my husband and I have done a decent job saving money for when this time comes, we’re still a little bit anxious about the amount of money we’re going to have to start shelling out soon. We’re doing our best to save money here and there to help alleviate some of the stress, but it’s hard. We still have a family to support, after all. With their extra-curricular activities and clothes, not to mention the amount of food it takes to feed two teenaged sons, our life is very expensive. One of the things we’ve done to save some money is switch our natural gas provider. This is by far the easiest thing we’ve ever done to cut costs. It took us about five minutes to make the phone call to shopelectricityratestexas today and save and then they handled the entire process for us. We started seeing savings on our bill immediately, and we’re stocking all of that money away for the unexpected costs that are no doubt going to arise when our kids go off to college.

In case you need reminding, here are ten tips for safe knife handling:

• Ensure knives are good quality and sharpened regularly
• Cut in a motion away from the body
• Keep knives stored safely
• Do not leave knives lying around in sinks or other surfaces after use
• Never try to catch a falling knife
• Always carry knives with the blade angled away from the body
• Never touch the knife blade
• Always use a cutting board
• Never use a knife for anything other than its intended purpose
• Try to avoid distractions when using a knife
Educating staff about the safest way to handle knives and other sharp instruments could help reduce the incidence of knife related injuries and hopefully keep everyone safer, from your cooks to your customers. Who knows, you may even prevent a Maryland workers compensation claim or two as a result!

• Plan periodic trips. We often head to the beach once a week. The park is another option and it is free. Bring along a sack lunch.
• Challenge the kids to read a number of books for the summer and include a treat or prize for each milestone. For example, if you challenge your middle school student to read 8 books, treat them when they have read 3, 5 and 8 books.
• Search the web for fun backyard activities. There are lots out there!
• Make a game and craft box for those rainy days.

I found a Treksta evolution running shoe that I love and went to my first workout. The treadmills all have boxes attached that you can plug your headphones in and watch the television sets. Next, I asked to be trained on the 30 min circuit. This consists of 10 weight machines and an aerobic portion (step). This is easy to use and motivating.

I really love Planet Fitness and have been going almost every day since I joined!
