I have seen so many people worried about their weight that have no reason to be worried about their weight! Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of obese people out in the general population that SHOULD be worried about their weight, but there has been so much “hype” about how people should be toothpick skinny that it really worries me. I see young girls, just barely in their teens, wearing size 2 clothes complaining to their parents that they are too fat!
So many women love to read romance novels. It fulfills a fantasy for them about their love life. I love to read cookbooks. I like to fantasize about what the food would taste like, and wouldn’t it be great if my family would eat it! I love to cook, but my family is full of fussy eaters. There are only a handful of things that everyone in my family likes to eat. So that drastically reduces the selection of menu items that I can prepare that everyone will enjoy. With money being as tight as it is, I don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen cooking something that ends up having so many leftovers that the leftovers don’t get eaten up. At least my family WILL eat leftovers if it is food they like in the first place. I’ve heard many of my friends lament that their family refuses to eat leftovers no matter how much they liked the original meal!
Oftentimes, when I go shopping I see machines for sale that are “home use karaoke” machines. I’ve looked at them and thought about how much fun they would be at parties. I have a very large musical family that would really enjoy doing something like that at a home party. I might even be tempted to get up and sing in front of my family. After all, they already know how badly I sing, and if they are willing to encourage me sing in front of them anyway, well, I could do that! As I mentioned previously, I’d be embarrassed to “perform” karaoke in a public setting because my singing voice is bad. (Although I’ve often thought about taking voice lessons to improve it!)
When I’ve looked at those machines at the store I see that they come with a certain amount of karaoke music and I’ve thought about how sad it was to be limited to only those songs. And I’ve wondered about how one could go about making your own karaoke music. Well, I’ve just discovered that there is a software program on the market that enables the consumer to strip the vocals out of music so that the consumer can make their own karaoke music! How cool is that! And the software is very reasonably priced too. I’m very tempted to buy it and give it a try!
