Talked to Mom about getting an ADT Alarm System

Since my mother has been doing so much to the house I’m sure that people are noticing.  The problem is what people that might be.  See there was a house on the block behind hers that someone broke into and destroyed whatever they didn’t take.  I would hate to see something like that happen to Mom and her home.  I was telling her about ADT Home Security and how they monitor your home 24 hours a day and 7 days a week so there’s not one minute in one day that someone is not looking after her and her home.  I know I would feel a lot better if she had ADT installed.

She said that she has always felt safe in her home but I know that was because of Daddy being there with her.  Well he’s not there to protect her anymore so she really needs something like an ADT alarm system to keep her safe.  I then told her that with the ADT alarm system, they also monitor the house for floods, carbon monoxide as well as break-in or even personal emergencies.  What if she was having chest pains?  ADT has a button she would push and they would send someone right out to check on her .  Now that’s security.

Well looks like another neighbor is moving

There are so many people moving out of our neighborhood that it’s becoming almost a weekly occurrence.  I hope I never have to move again but I’m sure I will at some point.  One things for sure, when I do, I’ll check out the moving companies very carefully. You can’t be too careful when you decide on a movers because you’re basically trusting just about everything you own to them.  You have to make sure they have a good reputation.  Personally I think I would rather use Budget Van Lines since I know several people that have used them.

Some people prefer to use one way truck rentals which is great if you don’t mind doing all of the work yourself but one things for sure, you know you will pack your stuff carefully.  I’m not sure I would want to do all of that myself.  After some of what I have read about Budget Van Lines, I still think that’s who I would get to do my move for me.  But to each his own I guess.  I just hope everyone has done their homework and checked out who’s moving their stuff!!!

What a wonderful outlook this lady has

Did you by chance happen to see the lady that had a face transplant on Good Morning America this morning?  What an amazing woman!!  She just lifted my spirits more than anyone has in years.  Bless her heart her husband shot her in the face and she was a beautiful woman and it left her without a face at all.  The most amazing part of this woman is the wonderful outlook on life that she has.  She said that she has forgiven her husband.  I would only hope that I could be that gracious and forgiving but I’m not sure I could.  Then again, after seeing her and her wonderful heart, if she can forgive what he did to her, she inspires me to be more forgiving in my life.

I am so very blessed

I have had a best friend since 4th grade.  We have been through our rough spots but we always manage to come back together as best friends.  I don’t know many people that have had a best friend as long as I have and with that in mind, I feel so very blessed.  I can call her and she instantly knows how to make me smile or laugh like a couple of school girls.  We have been through some very hard times together and knowing that she’s there for me means the world to me.

I don’t hardly even have to explain to her what I’m feeling because she knows me well enough to know just by the tone of my voice.  Isn’t that amazing?  I sure think so.  I would give the world to find a husband that understands me like she does but most of the ones that are like that already have boyfriends.  Well girlfriend, I just wanted to let the world know how much you mean to me and make sure you know just how much I treasure you for who you are and I think that’s a pretty amazing person.  After all, if you can put up with me for all of these years and still love me, that makes you the most special person on the face of the earth to me!!  I love you more than words can say girlfriend.

A web host can make or break your site

I have found out the hard way that the web host you choose can make or break your web site.  Even it’s just a blog site, you want people to be able to access it at any time so your choice of web host is very important.  The way I chose my web host was by researching web hosting online.  They do all of the research for you.  They will tell you which ones are the best for blogs, ecommerce sites or whatever you are looking for.  They even will break them down by which is the best web host for your money so you can’t go wrong that way.

My aunt sent me some pictures

I’m not sure where these pictures are from but my aunt sent them to me in an email.  Actually there were 19 of them but I picked out a few of my favorites to share with you.  I hope you don’t mind.  Nature is amazing and so very beautiful.  We all need to take care of Gods creatures a little better than we have but that’s my opinion.  How could anyone hurt this beautiful creature?

Then this one is just too cute.  It looks like they are all in a chorus and singing their little hearts out to me.  How could anyone want to hurt them either?

Even with the threat of swine flu causing panic, just look at what a sweet picture this on is.  Even pigs love too apparently.

But my favorite of all has to be this one.  Imagine the chance of catching this shot.  It looks like God is smiling at us, doesn’t it?  I’m sure he has a sense of humor, if not, why in the world would he have made man and woman so different!!!

Amazing, don’t you think?  I sure do!!

It’s that time of year again

It’s spring and you know what that means.  It’s time to start thinking about a new bathing suit.  I honestly hate looking for a new bathing suit.  There are so many that I just wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing and then there’s always the problem of finding one that actually fits.  It’s not one of my favorite pastimes until I came across these bathing suits. I was really surprised at the prices I found on this site but even more than that, I actually found one I like.

See I go to the beach with my mother and sisters a lot and also spend time on the local lake with my friends so I need a bathing suit that my mother will not be ashamed to be seen with me in and still looks good on me too.  What I like about this bathing suit is how easily I could just slip some cut off jeans on and look fine to go anywhere for a burger or what ever after leaving the lake.  I love white bathing suits too because I don’t get real dark like some people do and a white suit makes me look darker than I am.  Plus it’s got the cutest skirt on it.  I just think it’s adorable.  What do you think?

Mom’s going all out on redecorating

My mother is amazing me with the things she’s doing with her home.  The part that’s really amazing me is most of the things she’s getting, she found online.  She’s becoming quite the Internet shopper.  She has found some of the best deals on home furnishings and home decor.   I had no idea she was becoming so proficient on finding so many good deals online.

She got new linens and bedding for her bedroom.   The new comforter she got is beautiful.  It really set the room off if you know what I mean.  She even found the therapeutic pillows like she likes and has to sleep with.  She keeps a set of bed pillows with the shams on them that matches her comforter that she puts on top of her pillows and it looks great.

She found the prettiest new lamps for the living room too.  They really changed the look of the whole room.  Mom is great with home accessories.   I wish I could look at something online like she can and find just the right place for them.  I do good to find the right desk lamp.  Maybe there’s still a lot to learn from Mom!!

Sometimes I hate my computer!

You’re sitting in front of this thing that holds so much of your life within it just typing along and all of a sudden…………..nothing.  I have had this happen to me and I was absolutely horrified.  I called the computer manufacturer, the store I purchased my computer from and even my friendly computer geek and no one could help me.  I thought for sure all was lost and that was just hard for me to cope with.  Sure I back up everything but not always on a disk and besides, when the darn thing crashes to the point it says there’s no operating system, what the heck do you do?  Personally, I cried.

I just wish I had known about Data Recovery and how a simple disk can get your computer back along with all of the data you have stored on your computer.  It’s a lot cheaper to buy one of their many disks to recover whatever it is you have lost than it is to buy a new computer and then try to find everything you had on the one that crashed and get it back on the new computer.  Sometimes the cause is your own fault and sometimes it’s a virus but whatever the causes, they have a program that will solve your problem.

Boy was I surprised!!!

Did you watch Dancing with the Stars last night.  It was the results show where they send someone home and I was absolutely surprised at who was voted off.  It was Julianne and Chuck.  I really thought that Ty would be sent home even though I think he’s doing great but he’s just not as good as the others.  Chuck and Julianne were better than Ty and Chelsea but I guess there were more cowboys calling in and voting than country music fans.  You never know who will go and who will stay.  Sometimes it’s not the worst dancer, ya know!
