Too Much Packaging

One of my cats has problems with her thyroid and needs to be fed medicine twice a day. I get the medicine from a veterinary pharmacy in Texas. Think the packaging might be a little excessive for this bottle?

Fame: The Musical

*cheer* I've completed the first goal on my list. Granted, it was a supremely easy one. "Go to a musical". Last night, I saw "Fame: The Musical" at Mystic Lake Casino. For the most part, I had a fantastic time. Since there were four or five different story lines going on, it was hard to care about any of the characters but the singing and dancing were fantastic. The least enjoyable part of the night was waiting for my gambling addicted mother as she played "Just $20 more" three or four times. But, then, I only got the tickets because she got them for free so I probably shouldn't complain.

101 Goals in 1001 Days Update

I swear, the list hasn't been forgotten. I just haven't been very motivated about blogging and I think it's Twitter's fault. It seems so much easier to tweet a picture here or a comment there.

Anyway, things that have moved on:

*Completed the first 30 day challenge on EA Sports Active. When I first started, I'd be sore after each exercise session. Now, almost all of the exercises have become very easy. There are some exercises that are still tough to complete though. I think the worst one is the "squat holds". Basically, you're supposed to stand in a squat position for 60 seconds straight. I crumble at about 30 seconds.

*For "Eat at 15 different restaurants", I ate at "Old Country Buffet". I was debating whether to add this restaurant to the list since I've been there many times in the past. I have to admit, though, I don't go there because it's good. I go because it's cheap and all you can eat. Everything's kinda bland and has often been sitting under a heating light for 20 minutes before you get to it. :-/

*For "Try 20 different beverages", I had a blue raspberry slushie. I love slushies. You can't screw up a slushie.

*For "Watch 150 Movies", I saw "Disturbia", a horror slasher film. Even though I love horror, I almost always like paranormal horror not slasher flicks. Disturbia was decent for what it was but, again, I'm not a slasher movie fan. And, earlier, I watched "Fun with Dick & Jane" a comedy starring Jim Carrey and Tea Leone. That movie was better; nice light fun entertainment about a well-to-do suburban couple who lose their jobs and are forced to turn to theft to pay the bills.
