The year is coming to and end and I for one am grateful that it is. This year hasn’t been horrible, so I can’t really complain a whole lot about it. I thought about doing a year in review, but I’m not sure I want to. Maybe a few bullet points of [...]

Every year, it’s a struggle to figure out what the best gifts are for people. Oddly enough, one of the coolest gifts I’ve ever seen is a cute set of magnets that were custom made. They were given to my mother and grandmother and have their names on them. This year, my [...]

So, there’s a lot to say, but I’m not sure how much I want to say. I feel incredibly blessed to have so many amazing friends. I want to thank everyone for the lovely cards. I didn’t send out cards again this year. Time just got away with me, [...]

It never ceases to amaze me how cheap and cheesy products can be when you buy them in a standard department store like K-Mart, Wal-Mart or Target. For instance, a year or so ago, I looked at tv stands for our living room because we got a larger television and it wouldn’t sit on [...]

Remember when CDs were the new fangled form of owning music? I remember when having a CD player was only for the rich. Now, everyone who owns a computer or DVD player can play a CD. Heck, most of us have even gone so far as to not use our old CDs because [...]

Okay, so I have made 10 dozen truffles. 4 dozen chocolate oreo truffles, 6 dozen golden oreo truffles. They’re so damn good it’s not even funny. Every year, Mom makes peanut butter balls as well, but this year, she mentioned not making them. I was like, what?? She said that [...]

Okay, we all know that the digital transition is going to happen on February 17th. Well the other night, they turned off analog signal for 5 minutes so people could see if they are ready for it. I figured, no big deal, I just bought a new HDTV this summer for the main [...]

The last two days have been a bit crazy, so lets play a little bit of Catch-Up. We’ll see how far we get. Monday, Rob had a dental appointment at 8:30am in a location I wasn’t quite sure of how to get to. Google Earth gave me a fairly good [...]

With all the insane amounts of icky, nasty white crap and rain falling out of the sky, I seriously think that it’s time to take a vacation somewhere warm. Ever since I saw How Stella Got Her Groove Back, I’ve wanted to go to one of those Jamaica all inclusive resort vacations. One [...]

We’re living in a world that is almost completely cell phone driven. There are even studies that say that computers are going to become obsolete because of cell phones. This really doesn’t surprise me, but I don’t think that it will happen any time soon. They have to change things about the [...]

`Twilight’ sequel speeds ahead for November 2009
Okay, I’m super excited about this prospect.  Having just gotten home from seeing Twilight, I can’t wait until New Moon is out.  I, like many, was not expecting much when watching it.  I was VERY pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the film.  It wasn’t the way the [...]

Today was… not horrible. I really can’t even complain about getting up at 6am, since I actually had coffee waiting for me when I got up. I was actually awake before we left the house. Usually it takes me at least half of the morning to wake up when it’s that damn [...]

I don’t know why, but for some reason, I keep looking at Amazon for different books to read, knowing full well that I won’t be buying anything until after the holiday is over. One thing that has caught my attention, though, is the wide selection of Christian books as compared to what there is [...]

I wonder

I wonder sometimes how companies decide who to target for their ads. For instance, for someone who is not a horse enthusiast, ads for horse supplies won’t get their attention. Yet, I’ve seen them on a lot of non-horse related sites. I thought the way ads were targeted better, but apparently, sometimes, [...]

Will Smith: It’s all about helping others
“If there’s a message, it’s ‘you gotta help somebody.’ Even if it’s somebody’s car breaking down, use your cell phone. Something little like that. We gotta help one another to get the quality of life we’re all striving for,” he said in an interview with the Star Tribune.

I have to wonder sometimes, how many people who wear watches even look at them any more. With all the time we spend on the computer, using a cell phone or any other personal device (it seems to me at least) do people really need to own a watch? Sure, it could be [...]

So, I’ve sent out two blankets in the last year, which is more than I’ve shipped in my life. Seriously, I rarely send out packages, but I have 3 more to send out soon. You would think that I would learn, however, to keep shipping boxes on hand. Am I that bright? [...]

Hugh Jackman a departure from recent Oscar hosts – Yahoo! News.
LOS ANGELES – He sings, dances, acts on stage and screen, and he’s the “Sexiest Man Alive.” Hugh Jackman does everything but standup comedy — and that’s why the first-time Oscars host fulfills the academy’s promise to shake up the show in a way that’s [...]

We got our first real snow of the year. It was ice underneath, too. Meh. I’m not really all that happy about it, but it wasn’t so bad that we didn’t get out of the house today. I managed to procure a gift for the 8yr old child. I still [...]

Obama calls for Illinois governor to resign.
You know, I have to say, he should have already resigned. His resignation should have been immediate after he got arrested. It wasn’t a false arrest, he doesn’t even deny that he’s an idiot.
I just hope that it doesn’t come out that Obama had any part of [...]

So, it’s Winter, my least favorite season of the year for oh so many reasons. The only good part of it being December is that I can use it as an excuse not to go out of the house. However, I’ve noticed that when I do get out of the house, I’m much [...]
