Lifes Like That

Although I went to my insurance company for a meeting regarding my current life insurance policy, I am still unsure as to whether or not I will end up getting this service from them. Their life insurance quotes seem pretty high so I’m thinking about calling around and getting more quotes from different companies. Although I would love to stay with my current company, if I can find a cheaper deal somewhere else for the same coverage then I’m going to have to take it. Who knows though maybe their prices are right on and I’m just not seeing the whole picture. Time will tell I guess.

Although it’s been raining, cloudy and little cold these past few days, I couldn’t be happier.  The excessive heat that we were experiencing seems to be gone right now and the temperatures are quite nice.  It’s not too hot outside and I have actually been able to get quite a bit accomplished outside and in because I can breath a lot easier.  The weatherman is predicting a hot and humid weekend, but since we will be camping, I don’t mind that it will be hot.  During the week I love it when it’s not so nice outside and on the weekend I love it when the sun shines.

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.

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.

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.

I have held a lot of different jobs over the years with my last one being a waitress for almost seven years. And although I enjoyed the work immensely, I don’t have any plans in returning to that field when I go to look for another job. I am always up for a challenge and really enjoy learning new things, so I think my next career move will go into a different direction. Lately I have been thinking that I may like to become an IT professional. Over the past few years this industry has experience an amazing amount of growth as far as job prospects. To become involved in this field, I would not only be able to make the type of money that I really desire, but I would also get to be very involved in a fast and ever changing environment.

One of the first steps that I have taken in this area is to check out exactly what would be required of me to get a Cisco certification for this industry. By checking out this site, I have come to determine that Cisco is the best arena for me to pursue in my certification. I would start out learning all about entry level positions and when I was ready I could then move onto the more advanced positions. Because of their detailed lessons in the IT industry I would always have the chance for career growth if this was something that I wanted.

They say your never to old to learn new things, and with the help of The Cisco Learning Network, I’m more than positive I could achieve all my dreams and goals that I have set for myself. On their site I have read some amazing testimonials from people regarding the courses and their experiences with it. As I have never taken any formal training in this type of industry, I know the work could be difficult for me. But I am always up for a challenge and I love to experience new experiences. So I plan to look into this a little more carefully and hopefully by the time I’m ready to embark on my new career, I will have the necessary knowledge and skills to make this career a huge success.
