    Do you remember the "Me and My Llama" dentist song?

    I love the me and my llama song!   Another favorite is "12345678910112 ladybugs danced at the ladybug picnic" and the the clip of the baker falling down the stairs with Cakes? pies? in his hands....I think the voice over was something like "10 Chocolate cream pies" in a sing-song voice and then he drops them all as he trips down the stairs?  I love me some Sesame Street!

    Green smoothies--favourite blender?

    I love the Nutribullet I bought.   The smoothies I like to make are basically the Harley Pasternak Breakfast smoothie with some additional add-in's depending on what I want that day:

     

    1 banana

    5 almonds

    1/2 cup greek plain yogurt

    1/4 cup skim milk

    cinnamon

    1 apple (cored)

     

    I like to add celery and spinach to my smoothies as well as 10 icecubes so that it is nice and cold.   Sometimes I will sub out the apple for strawberries/blueberries/peach (whatever fruit I bought at the grocery store that week.

    Booking a flight on Southwest?

    in The Chat Board

    Posted

    Prices on Southwest do tend to fluctuate quite a bit and depending on where you are traveling to/from can be more expensive than other airlines.  That being said, I do appreciate that it is an all inclusive cost and they don't nickel and dime you for every little thing (luggage up to 2 suitcases is free, if you need to cancel and rebook there are no additional fees charged unless costs for flight has increased, etc).

     

    You will need to book direct with southwest as they are not on any of the other travel sites.

     

    I find the costs seem to be cheaper if you have some flexibility on the days when you arrive and depart.  Also I have found that leaving on a thursday and coming back on a Tuesday seems to have better prices.

     

    Last tip, I have found that southwest seems to be cheaper when they are NOT announcing a flight sale.   I have gotten some great deals this way ($88  roundtrip from Denver to their hub in Dallas Lovefield).   Can't beat that!

     

    Hope that helps!

    The flu is going around, it is probably best to go ahead and get the rest that your body needs. When I feel like this I try to rest and relax as much as possible.
