Years ago I tried about 20 different Chinese restaurants all over town and I never found one that I really liked. So I basically quit going to Chinese restaurants unless I was traveling and had a trusted local recommend one to me.

There is a new shopping center about 10 minutes from my house that has a new Chinese restaurant in it. I decided to give them a try and I was happily surprised to find a large buffet and everything was delicious. Lunch was under $10, including drink and tip. I will be back!

Have you tried a green tea? I was in the convenience store looking for something to quench my thirst and saw several brands of green tea in the refrigerated cases. I decided to try a Sobe green tea. It was great! I’ll buy Sobe green tea again, for sure.

Speaking of packing on pounds, maybe if I go ahead and start on some weight loss pills, I can beat the pounds and keep them from packing on.  I just dropped about 20 pounds and the last thing I want is to find them again only to find out they brought a few extra along with them.  Yeah, I think I’ll go ahead and start on them and maybe beat the ‘holiday pounds’.

Every holiday that is coming up has one thing in common, eating and eating and eating.  You know what that usually means, pounds and pounds and pounds adding on.  Between the candy at Halloween, the turkey and pies at Thanksgiving and all of the Christmas candy and goodies, I can already feel the pounds packing on.  I sure hope not though!!!!

Once Halloween comes, then the next three just seem to come one after the other.  The forth one is a new year and I just can’t believe that it will be here that soon but I guess I better get used to it because it’s coming no matter what we do.

I showed you some dogs dressed up for Halloween, but what about Thanksgiving?  Check these out.

And my favorite of all!!!!!
