Security and more

Last week I had decided that I needed a break from sitting on the computer all day, so I decided that I would sit in front of the television all night, and watch movies I had been wanting to see, but hadn’t gotten a chance to. Thanks to Direct TV, I got to watch some awesome movies that had been recommended to me also. The only problem is, I kept hearing strange noises in the back yard, and when I let my dog out, he went running around the side of the house, barking and growing. I at first thought it was just a racoons, or some night life animal, but after about four days of hearing noises and finding things disturbed in my yard, I wasn’t so sure.

I started surfing the net of course, for security systems. I hit on, home security daphne and read the ad. After that I decided to check out what some of my friends in Alabama thought and if any had used that security business, and one of my friends totally recommended it. I’m planning on doing more research, talking to system’s representatives and then make my decision.

All in all, I know I do want the security and the peace of mind. Since I live alone, except the dog and the cat of course, I actually need it. This isn’t a bad neighborhood, but then even in the best of them, crime still happens and a security system in the house is something I should have gotten a long time ago.

Smile!

Everyone knows I am terrified of the dentist, but also need dental care and have found lately,  that I actually want (yes I said want) some dental work done. Now for me to say this and be serious about it, I’ve been checking out all sorts of dentist’s references in my area. Also I have been online checking  about various options to get a General Dentist who will understand my fears and work with me about them, but also be reasonably priced and…big one here… accept my insurance. I’ve had some very traumatic experiences with dentists and in truth I am still afraid, to the point of phobia, but I also know that one’s health or at least a large majority of one’s health, depends on oral hygiene.. I have found that my gums are somewhat receding and I do have a few cavities that are starting, which I must admit I’m totally embarrassed about, even though they aren’t noticeable, I know they are there. Because of my fear, I have indeed let my teeth go.

So, to the dentist I go. In order for me to do this, like I have said, I have done some reasearch. In fact, a whole lot of research. There is lots of information out there and a dentist who will suit one’s needs are found for you. This I think is very cool, considering the aspects of going to the dentist for some people who are afraid.

It was suggested to me by my sister after she had heard of my complaints, that like herself, I should look into seeing a Cosmetic Dentist also. She did and her teeth are beautiful. I want my smile back,  so I am willing to suck up my fears and do this,  for ME!  In the long run it will be worth having a great smile and one that is also healthy.

Spending time at the lake

I decided to take off last night and grabbed the dog, his toys and my bags and went to the lake. I have always loved the cabin up here and I think needed the quite and peace for a few days. It might just be a short little get away, but for now it’s just what was needed! Course the place is now smelling like wet dog and lake water, but we can deal with it!

Movies at home

I’ve been thinking about checking into Direct TV packages for the movies mostly. I don’t watch much television since I really don’t have time, but when I see clips of movies that are out now, and I find them interesting or they are ones that I want to see, I’d like to be able to kick back at home and watch them. I’m not happy with the service I have right now, so I indeed do what to check this out.

While watching the news the other night, it totally blew me away at how many break ins, robberies, and other crimes there are because of security reasons. My friend Diane’s home had gotten vandalized and broken into three times and the landlord refused to put in any security precautions or let her even pay and have it put in herself. So she moved. She then  immediately had home security sierravista installed and now has peace of mind when she goes out or even while she is at home.

I don’t live in a bad neighborhood, but I’d like to get a new television to watch my movies on,  so an alarm system is definitely in order. Because of where I park, people can’t tell if I’m home or not and when I’m watching a movie I like I get really engrossed in it, so unless the dog barks, I don’t know if anyone is around the house. He indeed is a great, matter of fact, and awesome little watch dog and protector but that isn’t enough for me now with the crime rate the way it is.
