I don’t know how or why I didn’t hear about the recall on Rolaids! Yesterday my wife went grocery shopping, and I had put Rolaids on the shopping list. I use a lot of Rolaids, and we buy them in the 100 count bottle. The fruit flavor is our favorite. Well when my wife came back from grocery shopping I saw that she didn’t buy a bottle of Rolaids! She had bought a small box that had three rolls in it.

She told me that she had looked for the bottles, but the shelves for the bottles were empty, so she bought what she could find. I didn’t believe her that they would be empty! She told me that there had been a recall on them! Well, I went online and googled “Rolaids recall” and sure enough, there IS a big recall out on the Rolaids! I wonder why I hadn’t heard about it – the recall was announced last month! It MUST have been covered in the news, right? Did any of you out there know about the recall?

I heard that they are now saying that over 200 thousand people have lost their lives due to the earthquake in Haiti. That is an amazingly high number of lives lost due to Mother Nature being pissed of! It is good to hear of all of the money that is being raised to help the victims, people pulling together is always a good thing. We need more of that in our daily lives, we’d all be better off.

My sisters have been taking belly dance classes in Winchester over the past several months. They decided a few months ago that they would give it a try; it seemed like a lot of fun and a good way to get exercise without it actually feeling like exercise!

It took them a while to find out where they could take lessons in belly dance in Winchester, but they found a teacher named Miramar who holds belly dance classes in Winchester and they signed up.

Recently, after much nagging on my part they sent me a photo of them dancing in their costumes! Looks like they were having fun twirling around!

I think that one of the hardest addictions to kick is the caffeine addiction! I love my morning cup of joe! I just can’t seem to get started without it! My doctor says I really should cut down on caffeine, that too much is unhealthy for me. So I have been slowly cutting back. I’m down to only one cup of joe a day. I’m pretty proud of that accomplishment! I’ve tried to switch to decaf for that one cup, but I get a terrible caffeine withdrawal headache that just does not go away – even when I take headache medicine! My wife tells me that every time she has tried to quit drinking tea that the withdrawal headache lasted for two weeks! I don’t think I can deal with that for two weeks and still go to work! Wish there was an easier way!

My wife has signed up for some ballet classes that start in a couple of weeks.  She used to take ballet when she was a young child growing up.  She’s been going crazy the last couple of days trying to find a local place that sells Capezio Dance Supplies because she wants to buy a Capezio leotard to wear to class.  She hasn’t had to buy a leotard ever before because her parents used to buy them for her.  After all, she was just a little girl!  So she’s been looking around and can’t find adult size leotards anywhere in town!  So it looks like she is going to have to buy them off of the Internet and hope they fit her.
