Norton Online Family
I’m comfortable on the computer because I’ve been around them for years. My son TJ is starting to going online more so I’m trying to teach him to be careful, and to use the internet safely and responsibly. TJ enjoys watching videos, playing games, chatting in instant messages, going on YouTube and surfing the web. [...]
Please help me get to know YOU
The song from The King and I is in my head now. “Getting to know you, Getting to know all about you. Getting to like you, Getting to hope you like me.” I’d like to learn more about my readers so that I can make this blog the best it can be, both for you [...]
February’s Top EC Dropper
I decided that at the beginning of each month I’d like to thank my top Entrecard droppers for the previous month. My top Entrecard dropper for February is Karen from The Pond, who dropped on me from one of her three blogs a total of 42 times. Thanks Karen! I really appreciate it. You’re a [...]
Drive exchanged
I’ve had the longest day today. Me and my Dad had to get up early to go pick up an Angel Food order. Then RB, the boys and I went to a ceremony where TJ was presented with that Rudy Award. It was cool, his smile was huge. On the way back, I stopped at [...]
Drive replacement at a stand still
The title. I mean it literally. Yesterday we started this drive replacement. We thought the new drive was cloning the bad drive. When I went to bed last night the cursor was blinking in the upper left corner of the monitor. It was still doing that as of ten minutes ago when my Dad came [...]
Dad, Dad, he’s our man.
The computer was really misbehaving badly and we didn’t want to risk waiting any longer so I picked up an internal hard drive at the local Best Buy. Dad is in the middle of attempting to install the new drive and copy or clone the contents of the original drive, or something like that. I’m [...]
Bad drive
Two days ago I put my computer in stand by while I did some things around the house and ran some errands. I returned three hours later and turned the monitor back. I expected the computer to show my apps and behave normally but instead I saw a bunch of text on the screen. It [...]
Getting my paperwork organized
I recently realized that I need to reclaim my house and organize things better. I decided that I was going to go through all of the papers in the house and scan them. That way I could shred originals and regain a lot of space. My thought was that I wanted all of the documents [...]
Valentine’s Day gift idea – Casio Exilim EX-Z9 Camera – and giveaway
We enjoy taking pictures in my family. TJ has recently shown his interest by taking pictures of his friends, but his greater interest lies in making videos for YouTube. Not a day goes by that he doesn’t ask to borrow someone’s camera to make videos. I know the day that I will have to get [...]
Valentine’s Day Gift Idea – iHome iHM77 Portable Multimedia Speakers
I love music. I always have my iPod with me. The only place I’ve ever truly wanted to use it that I couldn’t was while we were camping. That’s why I was really glad to receive the opportunity to review some portable multimedia speakers from iHome. The iHome iHM77 portable multimedia speakers were one surprise [...]

Earlier this week, while traveling through some of the blogs I regularly read I noticed a cause named Bloggers Give mentioned. I liked what I read and wanted to learn more about how to help so I added it to my to-do list. Before I had a chance to learn more I was contacted directly [...]
I want to go to Blogher. Want to help me get there?
I started this blog years ago but have only blogged regularly for about 18 months now. Since 2007 I’ve learned a lot about myself – as a person, as a Mom, as a wife, as a friend, as a blogger and as a shopper. I’ve grown to love blogging and have been fortunate enough to [...]
Check out the new digs!
I’ve wanted to renovate this blog for a while. I found the header image a while back. When hubby first saw her he said she looked like she was a know it all. How appropriate! She also has a ponytail and glasses. And she’s brunette like me! She’s skinny though. Hmm. Maybe next year. So [...]
I can see the future
I’m not good enough at foreseeing the future to be involved in futures trading but I can tell you that a couple of rather big changes (big for me, anyway) are coming to my blog. I’ve been busy and I’m hoping to have everything finished and ready to unveil this weekend.
