When we lived in Tucson going to the rodeo was a huge thing. Each year there was a big rodeo. The schools would even have "Rodeo Days". They would give the kids Thursday and Friday off so they could go to the rodeo with their family.

In Arizona when you went out you did not just see regular sports on televisions, you always saw PBR bull riding too. It is after all "The Wild West".

Every once in awhile, when we are flipping through channels, we find ourselves stopping and watching bull riding on television still. I think they are all nuts but it is still fun to watch.

Rodeo fans everywhere are dreaming of Houston Rodeo tickets. The Houston Rodeo & Livestock Show is a huge 20 day rodeo. It has everything from a carnival, farming and livestock demonstrations, art, and of course lots of food and shopping.

Everyday after the rodeo, the center ring is transformed into a stage and a big name act performs. The concerts include... Alan Jackson, Dierks Bentley, Kenny Chesney, Mary J Blige, Jason Aldean, Jonas Brothers, Tim McGraw, Darius Rucker, Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley, Toby Keith, Blake Shelton, El Trono De Mexico Pesado, Lady Antebellum, Keith Urban, Gary Allan, Black Eyed Peas, Eli Young Band, Brooks & Dunn, Selena Gomez & Justin Bieber.

It sounds like a full day of fun and excitement!

Last season there were talks about the show Chuck getting canceled. Our family loves to watch Chuck so we were very disappointed. How could anyone not love Chuck?

Chuck is a fun character. He was just an under achiever with no ambition until he has government secrets downloaded into his brain. The original program is lost so before he knows it he is being protected by secret agents and helping them fight the bad guys.

I loved watching him bumble his way through last season but I am enjoying this new season even more. His brain just got an upgrade so he now could be the ultimate secret agent. He is still inexperienced and tends to bumble through it all though. It is kind of like a modernized Pink Panther.

If you are interested here is the new Chuck Season Premier that just aired on Sunday.

For a long time now we have heard how good fish is for you. Fish is low in fat, good for your heart and aids in proper growth and development in children. More recently there have been warnings that fish contain mercury and eating large amounts should be avoided.

The FDA still stands behind their statement that eating fish is very helpful in maintaining a healthy life. Many pregnant women avoid fish because they worry about Mercury. The FDA advises pregnant women to eat fish that are low in Mercury like canned light tuna.

They state that the benefits of eating fish are still there but the levels of mercury are low enough that the average size woman can safely eat light tuna once every four days.

Tuna is one of the staples in our cupboards. We always have a few cans on hand. Just the other day James did not feel like making himself a meal so he quickly made a couple tuna sandwiches for himself. I even let him in on my little secret. My tuna sandwiches taste so good because I use tartar sauce instead of mayo and then I add in some Cajun Seasoning mix.

Back when I got my first apartment and money was tight my roommate and I would make a huge batch of healthy tuna pasta salad. A friend of ours would bring vegetables out of their garden so we would just need tuna, pasta, and mayo.

The ingredients would change according to what vegetables we had on had but the usual ingredients were... Cooked and drained pasta, tuna, mayo, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, bell peppers, and carrots. I liked to add some seasoning salt or Cajun seasoning mix.

It helped that we could easily make the pasta and then mix it all together. Not only did we have little money but we had very little time too. We would mix up a huge batch and then have food to last us for a few days.

Life has been very busy and very crazy lately. I am finally able to get some work done so I can also finally talk about our trip this last weekend. There is way too much to cover so I will have to break it up into separate posts.

James and I have loved Eddie Izzard for years so when we found out that he was doing a show in Chicago we knew we wanted to go. As the day got closer we decided to make it a full weekend trip to Chicago and take the kids.

We had a wonderful time but it all seemed very rushed. We were always on the go trying to fit all of our plans in. We wanted to stay an extra day but James really needed to get back to work. We have all agreed that we want to do more weekend trips to Chicago when we have more time to enjoy it and not be so rushed. James works in Chicago so he has not wanted to go there on the weekend but taking the train made him enjoy it more than he expected.

There is a lot to share about our trip so keep checking back for the up coming posts!

Once in awhile I share some of my guilty pleasures with all of you. I usually shock quite a few readers too. I have four brothers that are 5 to 11 years older than me. Four boys so close in age meant many fights. My mother often handled this by telling the boys that if they wanted to fight they had to put on boxing gloves and take it outside. Naturally one of them would become a boxer.

My oldest brother was Golden Gloves champion one year and then went on to box for the Army. He traveled all over the world boxing. I was a very young girl but I remember how much he loved it. He would bring home all of his trophies with pride.

On Saturday March 13, Floyd "Money" Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao will fight at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. There could not be a more perfect place for this fight. It will definitely be an incredible fight. I pick Mayweather to win because he is a monster in the ring. I am sure that there are a lot of people that would just go because they love Pacquiao and would do anything for Manny Paquiao tickets but I think that Mayweather will win.
