The Neti Pot


I have a new obsession that I have to share, have you heard of the Neti Pot? Right before break one of my friends was saying that her three kids has been incredibly healthy in 2008. I asked her why and she told me about the Neti Pot.

Basically it is a small plastic pot that kind of looks like a genie lamp. You place 1 cup of warm water and one of the packets of saline and mix it. Then (are you ready for this) you put the Neti Pot spout next to one nostril, tilt your head to the side and let the water run up one side and out the other. It sounds so gross and painful, but it is awesome! I am addicted. It is a ton better than nose spray and doesn't dry out your nose. Seriously, you have to try it. I think I got the pot and 50 saline packets for about $15.00

I have talked almost all of my family into and they have liked it. Even Oprah and Dr. Oz recommend it!

So I am curious....have you tried it? Any other remedies out there for winter weather?

When all else fails....

......I post about TV. I could and should do big posts about Christmas, Carley's birthday parties, New Years party, back to school, New Years Resolutions and all sorts of other things, but posting about TV takes less brain cells so I think this will be my first post of 2009.

Sundays - Brothers and Sisters - I thought last week's episode with Justin at 2nd grade and Kevin post surgery was great. This show has such funny and charming writing. I love watching the Walker family, yet remain so very thankful I am not a Walker. :)

Mondays - The Bachelor - I have to be honest, I was disappointed in the girl choices for Jason. I could be wrong, but none of them seemed like the right girl for him to me. My favorite was blue dress Molly, but there weren't any that I was totally pumped about. I don't think Deanna is coming back to get Jason. I think she is just going to say, "I made a mistake, I shouldn't have proposed to anyone" or "I made a mistake letting you get down on one knee". I don't think there will be as much drama as they make it seem.
Chuck - I love this show and it's cast. Can't wait for some new episodes. Chuck is so sweet to his sister, Sarah, Morgan, and everyone else. It is nice to see a nice guy on TV again.

Tuesdays - I am giving up 90210 after last week and Eli Stone is ending so I guess it will just be Biggest Loser which I like to watch on the couch eating fattening food. I don't watch it every week from opening to close though.

Wednesdays - LOST IS BACK (well almost, but they are starting the reviews of last year so it will be back in a couple of weeks) I am so excited about this!

Thursdays - Grey's- I was disappointed in last week's episode some. I thought Sloan and Callie's banter was the best part. I really want his chemistry with Lexie to be stronger. I hope they build on that. Also, I like Hunt a lot, but he is a little moody and weird for me right now so I am not quite endeared to him yet. I thought the Chief and Bailey were great last week as well. And McDreamy dancing it out was very McDreamy for me.

Private Practice- It was a little over the top for me last week with Sam and the random health inspector lady and then Violet and Pete. I still cried when that mother lost her child. I could sue Private Practice for emotional manipulation I think. Also Cooper and Charlotte are starting to grow on me.

The Office - I am ready for some fun times in Scranton. Hopefully it is new this week.

Friday - Friday Night Lights is back this week! (at least for those of us that didn't have the channel for it this fall) I am so excited to see the Taylor family and the gang and see what it going on. It is one of my favorite shows.

The bad news for me is that I added a couple of new shows for the Spring line up. Whenever I post about TV, I always get lots of comments that I watch too much TV so I am sure that this will not make those of you who think that happy. I did get rid of Desperate, Heroes, My Own Worst Enemy, The Hills, and 90210 this year so I am making some progress, I think.

What are you watching, not watching, looking forward to, or predicting for our entertainment industry in 2009?
