Walking on Eggs

July 29, 2010

Yesterday I took my car in for an oil change at the dealer.

So I'm sitting there in the waiting room and a service clerk comes out to give the bad news to some Cadillac contessa.

I tried not to listen but she had that arrogant Thurston Howell III voice and it permeated my protective devices.

He told her about these most ridiculously unnecessary repairs totally $6000, and she droned on and on with her questions.

He sold his bill of baloney. She bought it.


When he came up to me and asked if I was the owner of my car, I said, "I don't want you to talk to me. You bring bad tidings. Send someone else who bears news of great joy."

But ma'am..

No, I'm serious. I need good news today.

Ma'am.

Please. I can't take it.

Ma'am? Your car is ready. The keys are in it and it's waiting by the desk.


Oh.

Nature Made SAM-e Boosts My Mood {Review and Giveaway}

I am no stranger to Nature Made SAM-e because I'm no stranger to depression.

SAM-e is a naturally occurring compound in the body, but not all bodies make it in the same levels, so it can be taken as a dietary supplement.

It's best known for helping to restore a healthy mood. And that's why I take it.

It doesn't work on day one. You have to take it for a while, so it builds up in the body. The first time I tried it, by the end of the first month, I was regularly feeling more upbeat.

Is it a miracle worker? Absolutely not. It helps, but it is not a cure. For me, it's worth it. I like the extra "sunny" I feel when I take it, but it may or may not have the same type of effect for you.

And it's expensive, at least for my budget, so watch for sales. My drugstore does a BOGO sale about once a month, and that helps a lot!

Buy It! You'll find Nature Made SAM-e readily available at drugstores and mass retail stores near you.

Win It! One lucky reader will win a 3-month supply of Nature Made SAM-e, reusable water bottle, and a journal.
