Superstitions

Do you believe in Superstitions?
I am not really superstitious.

I remember when I was little, my grandmother was very superstitious. If a black cat crossed in front of our moving car, she would make an "X" in the air to "cross out the bad luck"  I remember thinking it was funny. I also remember her being very real about it and not thinking it was funny.  Some other things I remember is not opening an umbrella in the house and not walking under a ladder.

I do remember spending a lot of time as a kid either trying to step on a crack or not stepping on crack depending on if I was mad at my mom at the time. LOL.  You have to remember that game " Step on a crack and break your mothers back"  The game came a halt one day when a friend of mine stepped on a crack and that afternoon her mom hurt her back.  Looking back on as an adult I see where the two had nothing to do with the other but as a kid it scared me to death.

I was given the chance to watch the preview of AMC's newest original drama series "Rubicon" which debuts on Sunday August 1st with a special two hour premiere from 8-10 pm ET.  Rubicon is a thriller for anyone who loves mystery and action shows.  It is based in New York and follows an analyst who finds out no.thing is what it seems in his attempt to figure out what to do next.  He is surrounded by quirky, superstitious co-works that are very intelligent.  They work to solve "codes" found in places you would never expect to find a code.  There are so many superstitions in this show.  The one that got my attention was the one where you are not suppose to let a broom touch your foot.  You will have to watch to see what is suppose to happen when you a broom touches your foot. Can't give everything away now!!

I liked the show and will be setting my DVR to record since Sunday nights are kinda busy at my house.  I love being able to record shows to watch when I need some Mommy time.

30 th Anniversary DVD review of Caddyshack

This is the 30th anniversary of the movie Caddyshack. Golfersdad loves this movie and was excited when Warner's Brothers sent it out for a review.

Synopsis:
Greenskeeper Carl Spacker is about to start World War III- against a gopher.  Pompus Judge Smalls plays to win but his nubile niece Lacey Underall wants to score her own way.  Playboy Ty Webb shoots perfect golf by becoming the ball.
And country club loudmouth Al Czervik just doubled a $20,000 bet on a 10 foot putt.  Insanity? No. Caddyshack.

Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfiled, Bill Murray and Ted Knight tee off for a side-splitting round of fairway foolishness that does for golf what National Lampoon's Animal House did for fraternities and Police Academy did for law enforcement.  With Harold Ramis directing, the virtuoso skills of all four blend into a riotous hole in one for comedy fans.





Available on DVD:
June 8, 2010
The standard definition DVD has been updated with new 5.1 audio and contains special features: Caddyshack: The 19th hole and the theatrical trailer.  The film will also be available day and date on Video on Demand from cable and satellite providers and for electronic download from online retailers.

Teaching Kids About Healthy Eating Choices Looney Tunes Eating Right Campaign

While healthy eating remains a top priority for parents, childhood obesity continues to be a growing issue. It's simply not realistic to believe that kids will shun all junk foods but we can help them to balance the empty nutrients with a big dose of healthy good for you foods.

This week Warner Brothers and MomLogic are asking the following questions that have to do with teaching kids healthy choices

How do you teach your kids about healthy eating choices? What works for your family?

These were some questions that I had to really think about this week. I am always trying to get Golfergirl to eat healthy. She does make some choices on her own. She only drinks water, milk or kool aid. She does not drink soda at all. She says it is gross. The problem is she will be drinking her water while she eats all the chocolate she can get her hands on and chips. She never was to happy about eating her vegetables. This summer I had an idea that since I was not working we would plant a garden. This way she would have a hand in raising the veggies so maybe she would be better at eating them. She was so excited to begin this process. She got to help pick out all of the items that were planted. She thought she was so big getting to help make these decisions. We ended up planting , Tomato's, corn, peppers, lettuce, cucumbers, squash and several other veggies.

Golfergirl worked in the garden almost everyday. She could not wait for the veggies to be ready to pick. Now, she did not like all of the veggies that we planted. I was not expecting her to but the important thing was that she tired each of them. She learned that she loves tomato's, and peppers. Before the garden she would not even try them.

I would recommend planting a garden to everyone. I have gotten a lot closer to Golfergirl since I we have been working on this project. It gave us some one on one time and we talked about what it takes to get a garden to grow. She looked up information on the Internet and would be sure what kind of fertiliser that was needed for each veggie. She was very into it this year and can not wait to do it again next year.

This is what works for our family. Let me know what works with yours. I am always looking for more ideas because she will still chose fries over apple slices every time at the fast food restaurants.

Obesity is a growing problem among our children nationwide, which, if not addressed, can lead to severe health issues in adulthood. As parents, teaching healthy eating habits and educating our children on how to choose to eat healthy is one of the best habits you can instill in your kids.
