I wear contacts, in fact I just got another years supply not that long ago that should do me for awhile, but one thing that I never really noticed before but do you realize how expensive saline solution is? It is! $14.99 for two bottles unless you get it on sale and it lasts what.. maybe 2 months if you wear your contacts regularly. There’s not much we can do about that as we need the contact solution in [...]

I broke down yesterday and ordered a new computer. I’ve got lots of reasons for doing this but the number one was that it’s time – and mine is having a tough time keeping up with today’s tasks. I am currently running a Pentium D 2.8 which is Dual Core, and will work wonders for my parents where it’s heading – but for all the photography pixel-crunching and the odd video and over-all hard drive space – It’s time for [...]

I just finished ordering contact lenses for myself and Liz which will do myself for likely the next year and a half, and Liz at least another few months. She’s still trying to figure out which ones she likes the best while I just plain ran out.

Anyhow just as we were about to checkout – I noticed that there was a spot for a coupon code. It took me all of about 30 seconds to do a quick Google [...]

So I’ve decided that I need a new computer, and I don’t know which I want.. a laptop of a desktop model. The differences are obvious, but which would suit me better?

I would LOVE feedback on this issue as I’m sure lots of laptop users have had this debate and I’m sure lots of desktop users thought about it to. Here’s the scoop for my personal situation.

Well, I’m in need of more power due to the processing of photos [...]

I’ve had a netbook before – for those of you whom don’t know what a netbook is, it’s basically a laptop – but very much smaller, and more limited. The biggest difference generally is the lack of a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM player in it. They’re pretty slick and I keep thinking that I want one… the problem is – I’ve already had one and I sold it due to the fact that I didn’t use it!

Why do I want one now [...]

Me!! Yes, that’s right.. I’m extremely proud to announce that I am one of two people hired on to the board of directors for the PEI Humane Society! Obviously anyone that knows me knows that I’m a huge animal lover and do a lot to support not only the PEIHS, but also Heavenly Creatures where I adopted my two beagles back in 2006.

My role is going to be part of the Marketing & Public Relations Committee which is going [...]

So I just got back from Beantown the other day, and I was thinking about all kinds of different ideas for blog posts as I was traveling. It’s at least about 10 hours of driving both ways – so obviously a lot of quiet time and time to just sit with your own thoughts. Anyhow hopefully this week I’ll get back to blogging quite a bit – we’ll see how it goes.

I did want to write for a minute on [...]

I guess I shouldn’t say that I’ve been completely successful with fighting the urge to buy anything as I’m expecting my Roomba robotic vacuum that I purchased anytime this week :S But I guess I can defend that purchase with the fact that I’ve been curious about them and have been looking at them since they were pretty much introduced. That, and the fact my buddy had one and absolutely loved it – so when the price was under $99.. [...]

Great Vaccum For The Car For Sure!

I just spent pretty much the last 3 hours waxing, vaccuming, and cleaning my car. Poor thing hasn’t been cleaned in quite some time – and I’m usually pretty darn good to her!

It was nice to actually use some of the toys I purchased on sale at Canadian Tire over the winter or last fall which I never got a chance to before – namely my Simoniz Vaccuum and Buffer.

First thing I used [...]

Here at work, we get our pay stubs a few days before we actually get paid. It’s kind of nice actually to know what to expect on Friday – even if it is only Tuesday. Today however, I think I’d rather not know.

I just took a peek at my paystub and started deducting the bills that I have to pay for the month.. wow. Talk about a kick in the junk. Good thing we have a lot of leftover food in the [...]
