The other night Sean and I were talking about how much fun it would be to go to Las Vegas with our good friends from New Jersey. Without kids of course! We would have such a blast! Neither couple is really into gambling. But I know we'd have fun nonetheless. I'd love to go just to see it out there since I've never been. I've heard the hotels are awesome and I could see myself totally spending an entire day at the pool relaxing. Another day we could spend sight seeing. And then maybe one day we'd hit the slots but that's about it for me. Sean's talked about golfing there too if we ever went. He says you can get some great Las Vegas golf vacations packages at lasvegasgolfing.com. I never knew that. And from what he says they're really affordable too. I don't even think of golf when I think of Las vegas. So maybe one day, if we ever go, Kim and I could go shopping while the boys played golf. Although I don't think Kevin plays. There's always a first though right? And I bet in Las Vegas people find they do alot of "firsts".

I've always loved that saying! I finally went to their website today for the 1st time and I love their tshirts! I might just have to get one. I bet Sean would wear one too if I bought it for him. They even have shirts for dogs! I also see that they were involved in the Revlon Run/Walk for Women and the Breast Cancer 3 Day. And they also have a blog which you should go and check out.

At Tristan's end of seaosn soccer party last Friday the parents were all talking about how the amount of what it's going to cost per player for competitive soccer is going up this coming season. And it's going up at least $150-$200 per player! It's going to cost us over $1000 since both Tristan and Caelie will be playing. I can't even think about when Kieran is old enough to be on a competitive team! And by then the cost will have gone up more I'm sure.

There is one family from Tristan's team who is going to have 3 on competitive teams this coming season. And she was saying how they might have to take out a Pay Day Loan just to pay the first inital payment. I don't blame them! I was telling her she should try paydayloansmania.com since I've heard they offer fast online payday advances. Luckily, this year the league is going to have it so you can put down like $250 starting off and then you have to have the rest like 2 months later. That's even a bit steep if you ask me. You would think if a family had more then one kid playing they'd offer a sibling discount, but no, they don't!

I found this cool website at Musings From Left Field and thought it was cool.

That above was for my first and last name together. 766,231 share my first name of Kimberly and 21,284 share my last name.

If you do it too leave me a comment and let me know what it said!

Last year this time Sean and I were looking at new cars for me and we found one! Car shopping is one thing I hate doing! The haggling back and forth with the car dealers, salesmen, etc. It gives me such a stomach ache! But last year went really well and we found a dealer that we love! I got the car I wanted and it still had the warranty on it so that I can go and get free oil changes, etc.

The only other thing I hate doing besides car shopping is trying to find Bad Credit Auto Loans. That was tough because Sean's credit was poor. But we found out that even if you do have bad credit, finding a Car Loan isn't as bad as you might think. Luckily our dealer helped us get one. But, if you are looking for one and don't have the help of a dealer, you should try CompleteLoanSource.com. From what I've heard they offer a great source of car financing for people all over the nation. And you can apply for new or used car loans all from the comforts of your own home - online! They will help you find a car loan that will suit your needs regardless of what your credit situation is.

Yesterday I walked for an hour for the first time in a really long time. I've been so lazy with exercising that yesterday I just went and did it. And then after walking I did my 5 Day Abs DVD and today I'm feeling it. But it's a good feeling! It's knowing that I did something and I'm hoping I can just keep up with it. My problem is if I miss even one day I feel like a failure so then I quit. Something I shouldn't do - we all have bad days. Just have to know that the next day will be better and you'll get back to your working out routine! As in today - I was hoping to get up early and do aerobics. It didn't happen. I had to get up early so that the kids and I could be at their school by 8:45. They were having a volunteer breakfast for all of the volunteers so I had to go. Which meant all of us getting up earlier then we normally do and our routine being totally out of whack. I do plan on doing my 5 Day Abs tape at some point today so it won't be a total wash!

I am at post # 501 with this post right here! Wow!!!! That's alot of posts! I've had this blog now for 2 years I think? I have so many blogs it's hard to remember. I'm actually going to downscale so that I only have 3 blogs instead of 5. It's just too much work and half the stuff I write in one I could also write in another if that makes sense.

The other day I was thinking about how much stuff I've actually blogged about the past few years! I've blogged about my family, friends, services, websites, reviews, appliances, real estate, neighbors, vacations and even a business list broker. So many topics! Blogging is fun though! Not only is it like a diary for yourself, but it's also a way to keep friends and family members informed of what's going on in your life. When you're a mother of 3 very active kids, it's not always easy to keep up with friends and family via phone or even email. So blogging helps alot!

So, I started working on my 1st health challenge this morning by going for a nice walk. My next challenge is to start drinking loads of water everyday! And to have it drank by 6pm so I'm not up all night having to go to the bathroom. So far today I've only drank 16.9 ounces. Not too good considering it's already 12:25pm. I know what I need to do - wake up in the morning and just fill up my water bottle and start drinking. Maybe if I keep the water bottle next to the coffee maker in the kitchen that will remind me? So that when I'm making the kids lunches every morning I see it and will fill it up and start drinking.(?) Alright, I'll try that tomorrow morning and see how it works!

A few weeks back was the NFL Football draft right? Did anyone happen to sit their and watch the entire thing? My brother used to - not sure if he still does. He'd make sure he was all set beforehand, have a pen and paper to keep track and would literally sit there and watch the whole thing!!!! Me? No, I didn't watch one minute of it. I love football, but not that much. I figure once it's done I can go to the computer and see who my favorite team just got. It's funny because when it comes to making our football picks for the football pool we're always both in, we go about that differently too. He reads the stats, sees who is hurt, etc. and goes from there. I just go down the line and go by the spread and if I think they can do it or not. It usually takes me about 2 minutes to do my picks. I'm sure it takes my brother longer.

I did it! I got the kids on the bus, went up to our local park and walked for an hour! How far I walked I'm not 100% sure because there's no signs on the trail stating how long the trail actually is, but, I'm guessing since I usually walk about an 18 minute mile that I walked about 3 something miles! I then came home and did my 5 Minute Abs DVD and am now feeling awesome! Keeping up the habit is going to be the hard part. I'm starting slowly and every Monday and Friday I'll walk. Tuesday and Thursday I'll do aerobics or Yourself Fitness. I figure if I start out slow I won't set myself up for failure.
