X-Box Kinect FAIL!!!!

My husband is paralyzed and wheelchair bound but a very active guy. My brother-in-law got an xbox kinect for Christmas. My husband and I were over there and we wanted to try it out. I played one game and thought that it was really fun. So my husband goes up and the game DOES NOT RECOGNISE HIM! As first we thought that he was just too short so we callibrated the game, no big deal. But the same thing happened, it doesn't recognise him. So we had our little niece, who is shorter than him, stand in front and the game recognized her and callibrated itself accordingly. Then she moved out of the way and my husband rolled up and the same thing happened. Guess we won't buy that system EVER!!! Glad we figured that one out BEFORE we purchased the whole system and it didn't work. BIG FAIL XBOX KINECT!!!!

Thankful Thursday (I know its Friday)

I am thankful for a few things this week....
1. My health, it may not be what I want it to be right now but I am alive, breathing, and can get healthier
2. Random acts of kindness, I lost me job a month ago, Sunday morning someone left a bag of food on my doorstep, I don't know who it was, but I am so thankful.

Cholesterol......

So I always thought that high cholesterol was for old people to worry about. I am going to be 31 next week and never thought that my health was in jeopardy at all. I had my usual yearly physical and female exam on Tuesday, (yeah I know you are all extremely jealous) and my cholesterol levels are double what they should be!!! Yes I said double!! I was pretty shocked. My Doctor immediately put me on lipitor and said I should loose about 15-20lbs in the next couple months if I can. He also said to get a low cholesterol diet. So I spent last night looking up low cholesterol food. Again I don't think I am unhealthy at all but I don't want to end up having a heart attack or heart problems before I turn 40. Now I am even more motivated to get in shape and have a healthier lifestyle. I will post my low cholesterol meals on here to show how things are going.
Todays breakfast: 2 egg whites, whole wheat toast and margarine (not butter)

Overstock.com review amd giveaway

Who loves Overstock.com as much as I do? They have everything you could ever imagine!! My favorite watch was purchased on overstock and I love it!!

They have everything you ever want on there; from watches, to shoes, to handbags, to furniture, to kitchen appliances, and everything in between, it can all be found in one place.
The best thing about Overstock.com is that no matter what you buy shipping is $2.95 for everything.
Our lovely friends at Overstock.com sent me a lovely 18inch irregular shaped pearl necklace. This necklace is beautiful and came in a lovely light blue drawsting pouch.

This necklace looks great with a simple outfit or a nice dress-up outfit and the best part is that Overstock.com sent me 2 necklaces so I am giving one away on here. Follow the rafflecopter below to enter. Good luck!!
