car seats/booster seats
What do you do with your child's car seat and booster seat once they have outgrown them? You are not supposed to use second hand car seats, so do I just toss them out? Or is there some organization that takes them?

What do you eat at a Chinese restaurant
Going to eat Chinese for Fathers' Day tomorrow. Chinese food has never been my favorite. I pretty much stick with lo mein because I know what it tastes like. But I'm bored of it so I'm looking for suggestions of something else to try. I know I don't like General Tao's chicken or anything too spicy. All the better if it is…

Your Heart Rate is Too Fast---Slow Down Now
The title of my post is the warning the elliptical machine at the gym gives me when I bother to check. I generally hold the handles so my fingers aren't touching the sensors so I don't have a heart rate measure.

I shoulda had the burger
I made an unplanned stop at Wendy's today. I tried to be good. Got one of their chicken salads. Baked potato instead of fries. I know I put butter and sour cream on the potato but I can't eat them plain. I know it's fast food but I am surprised my meal turned out to be 930 calories. I could have had a junior cheeseburger…
