Computers

I've always said that I have the worst luck with computers. However, more recently i'm inclined to think that it's more likely that I wasn't taking care of my computers in the proper way. I wasn't updating my anti-virus software and when I did finally update them it was to late. I had downloaded so many programs and games and forgotten about them that they had adware that was cluttering my computer and making it slow. Being inexperienced with how computers really worked, I just assumed I needed a new computer. Now that I know better, i've been searching for newantivirus software. For about $29.95 I can get some great software that will for sure not clog up my system and make it crawl. My old software (before I got rid of it) would take years and years to do a scan it seemed. This software i've been looking at is called VIPRE® and it's an antivirus and antispyware software. It even has protection against all those spam emails that have nasty surprises hidden in them. So now i've learned my lesson. I will not just randomly download programs and I will make sure that my computer is constantly protected.

New Orleans

Everyone is always talking about how they want to head down to New Orleans and hit up Mardi Gras. I don't think it would be my cup of tea. I don't need to see a bunch of half naked drunk people shaking their stuff for some cheap beads. I'm not sure it would be the best for my diet either haha. However, visting New Orleans itself would be really neat I think. They have a ton of old buildings and supposed haunted places. Who knows, maybe someday I will find myself making new orleans hotel reservations. You won't catch me out in the streets looking for beads though.

Overweight

I've personaly given up on quick weight loss attempts. I know that my body is just going to let go of it when it lets go of it. However, it doesn't stop me from being curious about fast ways to lose weight. There are so many different methods out there and it's possible that some of them really DO work. There are certain websites on the net that allow you to read the pros and cons of a variety of different methods of losing weight quickly. Everyone says losing weight slow is the best and I tend to agree at least for ME, but if someone is severely overweight they could probably stand to drop a good chunk quickly and still be ok.

Orlando

Wow, you know, it's been 16 years since we stopped having our yearly orlando vacations. Unfortunatly we had only gone on them for about three years in a row. Then that stopped. It was quite expensive. These days they have quite a few more deals and options than they had back in 1993-'94. They say they make many changes to Disney World every year. Can you imagine how different it must look from the last time I saw it in 1994? It's funny, my uncle who is single, lives alone and has a great job goes almost yearly and was saying how much has changed in the last year. We were like "umm...we haven't been since the last time we went with you, in 1994..". He was like "ohh..". Granted, my aunt lived in Florida back then so that was an excuse to go down then. A few years after we visited her last she and my uncle and cousins moved ton a different state.

Manufactured Homes

Back in the early 2000s when I was with an ex boyfriend, we had considered looking into purchasing one of many manufactured homes from one of the pre-fab lots around the area that we lived in at the time. Since that relationship didn't work out, i'm very glad we didn't. However, my husband and I would love a house of our own someday when he gets out of the Military. I'm always jealous of those people that get the giant three story manufactored homes that look very nice and brand new. What space they must have! I've always lived in very small houses.

Toronto

Ever since I was a child i've loved Canadian made tv shows. I kind of, in a way, felt like since I lived in Maine it was pretty close to being in Canada anyway haha. Living in Guam right now where there was no snow on Christmas and the air is so hot and humid, it made me picture Maine and Canada Christmas weather. I'd love to visit Canada one day and stay in one of the Toronto hotels. One day when I go home to visit maybe I can make it to Canada. Degrassi rules!

Decorating

I am really jealous of anyone that owns their own home. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for Military housing. I really am. It's just that i'd love to have my own place to decorate and feel like it was actually MINE and not like it was only temporarily mine for a short while. I would take advantage of free home designer consultation if I had my own house. I know NOTHING about what looks good as far as decorating goes.

Remind me

Do me a favor. Remind me that I wanted to take advantage of one of the free online backup websites online. I keep saying that I want to back up all my files in case both of our computers die. It's not out of the question considering our total bad luck with anything electronic. I would hate to think all my photos and videos would be gone. I mean since 2004 most of my pictures have been digital! no actual prints.

Grace Is Gone

I was watching a movie called "Grace Is Gone starring John Cusak. It was yet another reminder to me how important it is to get a life insurance rate. John Cusak's wife is a soldier and is killed in battle and he has the unfortunate task of telling their daughters. He puts it off until he can no longer keep it inside anymore and finally tells them. It was heart breaking. I got to thinking how she is in the Military so she had a life insurance plan. How sad is it that most people do not have this? their relatives would be left with worries and costs.

Stale Air

Living out here in Guam, life is pretty stifling hot. Often times when my son wakes up in the morning he is very stuffed up because the air is so dry. I am considering getting an air purifier and someair filters to try and improve the quality of air we are breathing in while we sleep. You can never quite predict the weather out here and we always have the AC running, i'm just not sure that it properly filters the air. So as of right now i'm thinking of getting something that is used for the main purpose of purifying air.
