This week’s lesson learned from our moving is that I really need to get in shape. After packing, I am sore from head to toe, not to mention how exhausted I feel. It really shows just how much I need to eat right, exercise, and just get healthy.

Strongernutrition.com has a wide variety of sports nutrition products that I find very interesting and will possibly help me in my quest to become fit. Instead of having to scroll through pages of products, I can search for products by my goal. If I want to lose weight, then I can find just products that will help me do that. Since I’m looking to become healthier, I decided to browse the stay fit catalog.

Since I don’t really know a lot about sports nutrition products, I find it extremely helpful that listed with each product is a simple line that tells what the product does. For example, look at the product page of ABC & Tea. After the description of the product and located in the blue bar is a synopsis of the product. For ABC & Tea, at a glance I can tell it is for renewed energy and health. This information is also listed on the catalog page where you can browse all products by your goal. It does make it easier for a neophyte to find what they are looking for without having to waddle through a bunch of listings.

You can also add a product to your favorites, so it will be easier to find at a later date. That could be a very handy feature since I may find several products of interest. Then I can find those listings again without any problems since I’m not that familiar with sports nutrition products.

I had joked that I needed to take my vitamins before beginning to pack. Now I’m thinking that I need vitamins and a few other supplements that I found on Stronger Nutrition. Once we get settled into our new place, the fitness revolution begins in earnest.

Lottso! Deluxe has become our favorite casual game. It’s so fun to play and really doesn’t get old. You do have goals to work through eight casinos. Too bad they aren’t based on Vegas casino resorts like the Venetian hotel. Still it’s nice to complete a location and get to play in a new one.

By completing a casino, you open up new scratch cards. The scratch cards vary from matching to high bar to Super Lottso. The Super Lottso gives you three cards at once. Of course it takes up three space on the game board. Still it’s a great points booster to a score..

I’m contemplating buying it for the laptop, so I can play when my husband is playing. Since it’s from Pogo, it might even be an online game. If so, I can just play online. Too bad it isn’t two player because that would be a great fun.

I have been having issues with my trucks for six months. I really need to get it fixed before the move. It would certainly help with moving things. Once we get it running, we plan to fix it up a little bit. Luckily my Dad has all the body shop supplies that we need to fix the rusted out spots in the frame. When we get that taken care of, it should be in good shape all around.

I just hate that we can’t seem to run down the problem. We think this time we have. It’s symptomatic of it being the battery cable, so hopefully a new one will do the trick this time. With this stress and the move, I really need a vacation from home. I might buy me a new game to make me feel better.

If it wasn’t for Lottso Deluxe, my stress level would be through the roof with our move. We are on day 5 of moving and still have so much to do.

Not to mention that it has been so hot especially in the afternoon. I don’t know how I can wear less clothing to possibly be a little cooler. I had thought about trying open tip bras. At least it’d be less underneath and might be cooler. At this point I’m willing to try most anything to get some relief.

We hope to be done moving tomorrow. There is still so much to take care of. Woe is me. I’m feeling overwhelmed. I will be glad when we are completely moved and my days return to some sort of resemblance to normalcy.

I knew that I would like Lottso! Deluxe when I saw the word Pogo come up on the opening screen. Pogo just makes fun, appealing, casual games to me and many others. So, by just telling you that Lottso! Deluxe is from Pogo should be enough to at least download the demo.

But I will tell you more since I’m writing anyway. In Lottso! Deluxe, you play your way through 8 different casino-type settings. You have to reach certain goals before you have “finished” the level. This is a game you really don’t finish per say. Even once you get to your goals, each game is still fun and as exciting like the one before.

You play 10 rounds and have 25 seconds to place 6 numbered balls onto 6 scratch lotto tickets. If you use all of your numbers, you get a bonus. Some cards have free spaces and there are special balls as well. Some are wild and will be whatever number is needed. Some balls prevent other players from placing any balls the rest of the round.

It’s fun, simple, and takes two minutes to catch onto. The more you play, the more lotto cards you unlock. There is a Lottso! card that goes up in value each round someone doesn’t match all of the numbers. It can be a nice score booster if you have it on your cards late in the game. In between rounds, you will have just a few seconds to glance over you cards to see which numbers you need and to develop a strategy. It seems I always need 4 of the same number, so when that number comes up, I place it on the card that is closest to being complete.

Lottso! Deluxe is a lot of fun and addicting. It’s easy to play but hard to put down. It’s from Pogo who know how to make entertaining games.

About a month ago, I decided to cancel my subscription to RealArcade GamePass. I called customer service and put in my request. They actually gave me a free month if I wanted it and then I could cancel at any time.

I went ahead and canceled. All I had to do was reply to the email they sent. It was fairly easy to do and painless. Some services seem way difficult to cancel. I may activate it again in a few months or so. It just got to where I couldn’t find any games that I really wanted. Maybe that will change in a few months.

We are having to back out of our plans to attend Dragon Con in Atlanta on Labor Day weekend. It just isn’t in the cards this year. We still hold out hope that we will make it one of these days.

After reading about some of the more imaginative costumes seen at Dragon Con that resembled sexy lingerie more than a fantasy character, I was looking forward to the show. It’s always fun to see things you don’t see everyday even if it might be on the erotic side just a touch. Maybe I will have lost the poundage to dress up in a sexy costume when we finally go. I doubt it though since I’m way too modest to wear something to draw attention to myself.

So, we won’t be at Dragon Con but there is a local con in September, so while that won’t make up for it, it will give us a decent gaming venue.

I’ve been wanting to share my experience with VistsPrint for a few months now but just haven’t gotten to it. Well, today is the day to write my review of VistaPrint. My order was for business cards but VistaPrint also has other products like envelopes and postcards you can order personalized.

I chose VistaPrint because you can get free business cards by just paying the shipping costs. There were many nice card designs to choose from and after looking through them all, I decided on a design. Since I was getting business cards mainly for my freelance writing ventures, I chose this one since it seemed to fit nicely.

On the back of the free business cards is an advertisement for VistaPrint. You can add your own message for a price. I added my own personal message and paid the cost. The total price was still under $20 once shipping was added in. I received my cards a few weeks later and was well pleased with them.

When I ordered my cards, I had accidentally signed up for the VP Rewards program. Sometimes I will mark a checkbox without really reading what it is. I must have thought it was for a newsletter or something along those lines. The VP Rewards gives you discounts and other perks for a cost of $14.95 per month. Since I had just ordered one time, I really didn’t want to be in the club.

I located the customer support number and asked to be removed from the rewards program. It only took one phone call to get this done. My credit card was refunded the money and no further charges have come through. So, I was really pleased at how easy it was to clear up that mistake that was most likely my fault.

Since ordering the business cards, I’m in need of some new ones as well as some envelopes. They have some really cute designs. I remember putting stickers on envelopes to dress them up a bit. Now I can just buy some with a design on them and have my address already on it ready to go. Sounds great to me especially since I trust VistaPrint to do a good job and have confidence in them that if something goes wrong, they will make it right.

One of my all-time favorite board games is the Game of Life. It was always fun to play with those little cars and blue and pink stick figures. My brother always wound up with a ton of kids. Some fun memories indeed.

So, when I stumbled upon the Game of Life for the PC , I had to give it a try. Even though it is an older game, it has all the fun of the original game plus an enhanced version. The enhanced version has mini-games when you land on certain spaces. It also seems that your earn a lot more money in the enhanced version than the regular one.

The graphics remind me of the Sims as well as the humor of the game. It’s a lot of fun and an easy way to play one of my favorite board games. Here is some game video that I took:

It’s fun and runs really good on the PC as it isn’t too graphic intensive. Packed with a lot of humor and good entertainment, The Game of Life not only makes a fun board game but a great PC game as well.

Since we play a lot of card games, we would love to trade in our kitchen table for something like these poker tables. We usually eat while sitting on the couch, so why not get a table that we would really use for its intended purpose?

A card table would be perfect for us. We play a lot of card games and poker tables are laid out to make the most use of the table for playing. Some even have drink holders, which is a must since it can be hard to round up more than four coasters at any given time.

A card table is a definite accessory for any gamer. We are into a collectible card game, so the table not only would serve the purpose to having a place to play but a place to sort cards.

It’s just one of the many things we need for our game room, which is on hold until we get settled again. It’s still nice to dream, though.
