It’s one of those kind of days, you know when you just don’t seem to have any energy to do anything.  Nothing but lay around the house all day that is.  I guess it’s because of all the rain we have gotten lately.  We really need it but boy has it drained me for some reason.  I guess it might have something to do with overload.  It’s been a tough year and spring break is just starting.  I need to recharge a bit so I’m just going to be lazy today.

My mother surprised my little sister with one of those mini-laptop computers.  They call them Netbooks.  My sister has wanted one ever since I got mine but Mom said she didn’t need one.  Now that she’s in middle school, Mom finally broke down and got her one.  She got her a Asus EEE PC 1000HE.  That thing is just totaly awesome.  Mom checked out PC World and decided from what they had to say about it that it was the one to buy.  You really should check into one if you’re interested in one too.  This is the one she got.  Nice huh?

A friend of mine sent me this in an email.  I checked some of it out but thought there might be someone out there that knew if most of it was true or not without me having to take so much time checking it all out.  Let me know if you know what’s true and what isn’t please.  I have never been much on history but this has sparked my interest.

John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland

I was watching Oprah the other day and she had this doctor on her show that had done a lot of studying about some thing called the acai berry.  It has a lot of benefits but it’s supposed to help you lose weight too.  I like the thought of it not being a drug but something natural.

I found out where I could purchase acai berry products online and it told me a lot about the products too. It was really interesting.  It’s supposed to clean your digestive system and help you have an overall healthy body function too.  That sounds great to me so Mom and I are going to try it.
