Seeing as we now have limited time left in Southern California the kiddos, hubby and I decided if we’re going to see some of the major attractions that now is the time to do it. Yesterday we went to Legoland and when the kids and I return from our house hunting trip to Texas we’re planning a few more excursions.

Legoland is a great place for kids, and we adults had quite a lot of fun as well. My park favorite was probably MiniLand where millions of Lego blocks are used to re-create buildings and locations from around the world. It made me want to go home and build myself.

For a plus size report about Legoland — I faced no serious problems. For we plus size people there is the near constant concern that we’re not going to fit the rid or the seat belt restraint or through the turnstiles (did I spell that right?). The only problem I faced was on one of the roller coasters. The seat my son and I chose did not have a belt long enough to fit around me. We were asked to wait for the next car and it had a longer belt so no big problem. The turnstiles coming into the park were a squeeze but OK . . . and then my skinny little husband opens the gate beside me and walks through. Duh!

Go to for more information about theme parks and fit.

I’m still here! I haven’t gone anywhere, just been extra busy. That’s no excuse. I need to keep this updated a bit better. I know, I know. And I’ve got tons of promised letters to write back to the family in India as well. OK. Here I am here at least and will be able to check one item off the TODO list.

So, what have I been busy with? Planning a move. Yes, we’re moving again. [Big sigh!] Seven moves in the past 9-1/2 years! Hopefully this will be the last one.

P.S. Hey, I did finally get rid of the nasty little pests which I returned from India with and which I wrote about it my last post.

What’s for supper: Dal Makhani
I’m trying out some of my new recipes brought home from India.

We have now been home from India for about three weeks and have discovered an unintentional “souvenier” which has been brought home from the trip. Head lice!

Head lice are very common in India and we ended up with them after the last trip as well. I knew this and began weekly treatments as soon as we landed in the country. We used a shampoo called “Medikar”. This took care of the problem the last time and I had hoped it would this time as well, but I just found the nasty little critters in my hair again. Looks like it is time to get more aggressive. Off I go to research it on the Net and see what information I can find.
