Lifes Like That

Just this past Christmas my youngest kids got  a play station 3 from “Santa”.  Although it was given to both kids, my youngest son gets the most enjoyment out of it.  He is constantly playing it and when he is asked what he would like for a present he always says “a play station 3 game”.

Well it’s broke!  It’s only 7 months old and right now it’s unusable.  As far as we can tell, he put a magnet to close to the system and erased the hard drive.  And do you think that we can find anyone around our area who works on them??  Nope.  Nobody in this area will touch it because it has a hard drive.  My husband did find a guy who is selling a used hard drive out of his system.   So he’s going to purchase it and hopefully fix it.  If this doesn’t work I don’t know what were going to do as this is a very expensive system.

If there is any gamers out there who have experienced something similar maybe you could give me your input?

Finally after months of whining, I took my computer into the shop over the weekend. I have finally decided to take the plunge and have my computer get a total memory upgrade. It will cost me a little bit of money to have all this done, but I honestly think that in the long run it will be well worth it. The only thing I’m not pleased about is that they plan to have my computer in their shop for most of the week. Having been without it now for a couple of days, I’m kind of going through “my” computer withdrawals. I can use my husband’s, but it’s not the same. But to have a better running computer, I just have to suck it up and make do. Then when I get the unit back, I will be so happy with the improvements that I will have forgotten all about my computer withdrawals.

After having the kids home 24/7 for the past couple of weeks I have so much to do around here that I don’t even know where to begin.  Having two little people underfoot constantly takes away from my day to day routine and as I sit here on my computer looking around my home, I can see my glaring neglect of my house.  Not only have I been slacking on the housework, but my computer and craft work has also taken a back seat to the kids as well.

This afternoon I need to drive them to their day camp for a few hours so I’m planning on coming back home and getting some serious stuff done.  It’s just at this point I have no clue where to start.  Thankfully they will be going to this camp every day for the next three weeks so that gives me plenty of time to get things done.  Now all I need to do is get a plan in place and follow it.

When I was growing up, I never experienced the horrors of acne that most kids face. I never experienced these horrors until I hit my 30’s. But my problem is getting better. I have been using some natural acne treatment products and I have to say that I am highly impressed with the results. Since I started this routine I find I have less and less acne visiting me every month and I couldn’t be happier. Hopefully if this trend continues, it won’t be long before I won’t be getting any acne at all. Here’s to hoping!

As I have gotten older I have tried to get into better shape and keep myself in shape. I have just resurrected my home gym and I have also been trying to eat better. So far I think my efforts have been paying off. I would really rather not have to start taking cheap Phentermine or any other type of diet pill if I don’t have to. I realize that this method of weight loss may be the right decision for some people, but for now I’m just going to try to continue to do what I have been doing and see if these methods improve my overall total health.

I just added the top commenters plug in and I have to say that it’s way…cool.  I’ve been looking for something like this for well over a year now and now that I’ve found it and have it installed I’m so happy with it.  This way I can reward all you top commenters on this site.  So if you’d like a link back to your site from this site, now all you have to do is comment.  I hope you will comment because you like what your reading as well. lol

Have a great day and happy commenting.

Last week while I was at my bank, one of the tellers was trying to convince me to switch credit card companies so I could take advantage of their 0 balance transfer offer. I am a bit hesitant on doing this. Yes it would be great to save a little money in the short term as this rate would only apply to the initial transfer, but I have been with my company so long and have been extremely happy with them, that I really don’t want to rock the boat. I know what this company expects of me and their are never any little surprises and with a new company, you really never know how they operate until you switch over. And I’m a little nervous about doing this. So I will continue to think about this and when I think the time may be right maybe I’ll take a chance on it.

Last month I cleaned out my gym room and set up all my equipment. But that’s all I have done with it. I know I really should get on my treadmill and get some use out of it. But honestly, I’m just too lazy. I would rather do crafts, play on my computer or play outside with the kids. In all honesty, I would rather do anything. I just hate working out. But because some of the equipment in my room is a little expensive I really must start using it. I’m planning on getting started back into my exercise routine next week when the kids go back to art camp. Maybe if I have a little “me” time, I’ll do what I should be doing. Then again, knowing me as well as I do. Maybe not.

Last May I had to quit my job due to babysitter issues and haven’t been employed since.  For the most part I was really pleased with this decision.  I enjoy being home with the two younger kids and I know they enjoy having me home as well.   But sometimes I do miss the routines of working and I certainly do miss the paycheck.  But when summer hits, such as it has right now, I’m quite happy that I don’t have to work any longer.  When the sun is shining and I’m spending an afternoon outside with the kids, it’s nice not to have to worry about getting ready for work.  And when the weekend hits, it’s nice to be able to just pick up and go whenever and wherever we want without worrying about being home on time.  So you can say, that at least for now, I’m living the good life and enjoying it immensely.

Not only is purchasing a vehicle expensive, but so is the insurance, licensing and up keep. It’s amazing how much money you can spend in a run of year on a vehicle. Because of the high prices of gas and parts, I am always on the lookout for sites where I can buy good quality products are good prices. Well I have found a site over at radiators.com where a person can purchase a good quality Ford Radiator at a very reasonable price.

This company has been in business for well over 20 years, so you know they must be doing something right. All their products come with a life time guarantee and a very reasonable price tag. They are the industry leader’s in their field and their customer service is absolutely the best. They have such a wide variety of products to choose from that you are pretty much guaranteed to find the product you need. With rising prices on car parts, this is definitely a company that I’m going to be visiting in the future.
