			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of <a href="http://app.socialspark.com/disclosure_clicks?oid=4262902" rel="nofollow">Hiltons of Branson</a> for <a href="http://izea.in/r1vw" rel="nofollow">SocialSpark</a>. All opinions are 100% mine.</p>
<p>
	Although I just returned home from a little vacation, I can tell you that four days was not enough and we did so much, I almost need a break from my break. I can&#8217;t tell you how happy I was to return to my hotel at the end of the day. I loved Chicago Comic-Con but I love relaxing on a comfortable bed and it&#8217;s so much better when it&#8217;s already made and I didn&#8217;t have to do it!</p>
<p>
	<a href="http://reviewsbycole.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/IMAG0098.jpg"><img alt="Bedroom of Hotel in Chicago" src="http://reviewsbycole.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/IMAG0098.jpg" style="width: 125px; float: left; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; margin: 3px;" /></a>You can bet I&#8217;d feel the same if I were going even further away. My Mom is trying to convince me to visit Graceland, the home of Elvis, with her in a few days. I&#8217;m not sure if it&#8217;s worth the drive for the short amount of time she&#8217;s spending there. I think I&#8217;d better enjoy someplace like Branson, a tourist hot-spot with tons to do. It&#8217;s great if you like country music. There&#8217;s tributes to all the greats and stars like Lee Greenwood and and Neal McCoy are playing soon. I can name a few people in my family who would love that. One of the cool things about the Hiltons down there is that you can purchase event and hotel tickers together for a great price (check out the Branson Best Value package to see what I mean).</p>
<p>
	<img alt="Branson MiniGolf" src="http://www.thousandhills.com/images/stories/images/MinigolfBranson.jpg" style="width: 125px; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; margin: 5px; float: right;" />Personally, I&#8217;d hit up some mini-golf and enjoy some cave exploring before retiring to one of the <a href="http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=12332&amp;oid=4262902" rel="nofollow">Hiltons of Branson</a> for the night, all comfy and cozy in a room I didn&#8217;t have to clean. I had a fabulous time mini-golfing with Robyn in a city a few hours away that is pretty similae to Branson&#8211;even if I&#8217;m awful at it! I&#8217;ve also enjoyed a few cave adventures with my ex-husband in the past. Even better, the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel houses some of the events so walking is a minimum. My poor feet would have loved that this weekend.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My family has done a good job of getting and keeping me sick. I&#8217;ve retaliated with ginger ale, orange juice and chicken soup where applicable but it only goes so far. It seems that theirs are super germs. LOL As I type this, I&#8217;ve got an outbreak of cold sores so I&#8217;m scouring the web for remedies and treatments (not for the <a href="http://www.coloncleanser.net/">best colon cleanse</a>) but everything looks like I&#8217;m just going to have to deal with it. Eeps! Uncool.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my recent post, I talked about how Mom and Sam had reactions to a body wash. It&#8217;s interesting because they both seem to have a lot of topical reactions. Mom can&#8217;t use a lot of products, including many laundry soaps but I&#8217;ve never had many reactions and very few of the ones I have had were caused by topical stuff. I wouldn&#8217;t want to have to be one of those people making my own dish and laundry soap at home or trying out a barrage of <a href="http://www.bestacneremedies.net/">acne home remedies</a> because commercial products irritated me skin. It&#8217;d drive me nuts. Glad that I&#8217;m abnormal in that sense. d= </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every time I come to mom&#8217;s I wind up losing weight. I could say I don&#8217;t know why but the truth is more along the lines of eating less because I&#8217;m not in my own house and just doing a lot more. Cramming a lot of social time into a few short weeks certainly shrinks my waistline better than any <a href="http://quickweightloss.org/">quick weight loss diet</a> but I hate it when my pants don&#8217;t fit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had a very strange dream last night about my mom splitting from her husband. It was very unpleasant overall though I don&#8217;t think the people I&#8217;ve described it to understand just how icky it made me feel. Anyway, at one point I was seeing who got what furniture because they recently bought a new dining room table and <a href="http://www.cozydays.com/">patio furniture</a>. Luckily, it was just a dream but I did wake to 3 calls from Mom/Samantha while I slept. Coincidence?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="konafilter">I was talking to my aunt the other day about her inability to find a job while my cousin has been able to find several with her CNA certification. It seems like my cousin is in a pretty good field, as least where she&#8217;s located, in today&#8217;s economic atmosphere. She has more options than a lot of people &#8211; some can&#8217;t even remember <span style="font-style:italic;">having </span>options. I know quite a few others from my hometown who have lost their jobs or have had their hours severely cut. So it doesn&#8217;t seem like a rash decision to consider <a href="http://www.alliedhealthinstitute.edu/">medical assistant training school</a>, even if it&#8217;s not your thing because the medical field one which seems to be suffering a lot less than other industries lately.</div>
