Magic Masseuse

Hand held massager.    Oooo, that sounds kinda dirty, doesn't it?

Naw. 

DD and I went to a health expo today that is sponsored by a local news station.   Every year I say I want to go, and then I don't.   So we did.   We thought that there will be nutritionists available, since there are doctors and nurses doing screening.   And really, we just want to start eating a little better, exercising more, you know, doing all the things you know you need to do anyway.

After all, the blood mobile is there.   There are childrens healthy games, a walking track, some exercise companies are there, and the like.   A few cooking demonstrations, exercise equipment to try out.  But really what  we found was a lot of advetisers there.   With phamplets and videos, a few selling stuff, like the weighted hulu hoop which sounded like a great idea, but not for 40 bucks.   The diets to go people and a lot of groups selling supplements, and their particular nutrition bars. 

All the major associatios were there, Avon walk, diabetes assn. and walk group, heart association.    There was a place where you could get screened for illnesses.   Didn't stand in that line.   As DD said, it seemed like most of the people there were trying to get some free health screening.    And it may be the only time they've ever been checked for high blood pressure or diabetes, so that's all good.  

But I don't want to take a ton of supplements or protein powders or special bars.    I want the real deal.   Well, I did sign up to win a freezer full of food along with the freezer.    Oh, and a new car.    WHo could resist the opportunity to win a fee car?

However, I walked by the Magic Masseuse.   They had free demos and I thought, why not.    O.M.G.   I was hooked even before the demo was over.    I have rocks in my shoulders most of the time.   No matter how many massages, hot rocks, rubs, drugs, or whatever, I can't get rid of them.   I can keep them under control for the most part, but every once in a while they make me truly cry.   I now have little pads to put on them, that will send electricity through my muscles and relax them.   It is battery operated, or you can hook it up to your lap top and it will run through that while you surf the web.     I didn't even blink at the price (and I'm really on a spending diet right now).   I gladly forked the money over.   

Of course now that I've read all the stuff, I'll need to replace the pad things every three or four months, but even still.    The cost of this thing is less than two hours with my masseuse (who I dearly love and will be seeing next Saturday morning).   So, I'm off now to knit for awhile, watch a chick flick and get magic masseused.
