Where’s my easy button?

I need a cookbook. I need to find my cookbook. The one that mom got me for Christmas last year. The Paula Dean cookbook to be exact. I wanted to look through it so that I can find something to cook for Thanksgiving from it. Yes, it is a Christmas cookbook but I am sure the recipes won’t mind being used for another holiday.

Now, if only I had my own big red easy button I would be able to find it in my room. Unfortunately, I don’t have that easy button and I can’t remember where I moved it to when I cleaned off the magazines and cookbooks from my desk! So disheartening! However, I do have about a week until we’ll be going Thanksgiving food shopping. Maybe I’ll find it by then.

Until then, I’ll have to use the internet. Oh the trusty internet. Now I can surf you while laying in bed again. Jamie got the laptop to semi work by switching out the batteries and not charging them all the way. This poor thing. I wish I hadn’t left that cup of coffee near it that fateful day. Alas, I can’t take it back and we can only move forward. I’m just thankful we can get some use out of it again. It makes the money we spent on it not seem so bad.

Now, it isn’t an $800 paperweight! Hooray! Still, why can’t it find my cookbook for me?

Pregnancy: 16 weeks

It’s been awhile since I’ve written anything about our pregnancy. Of course that doesn’t mean I’m not thinking about it constantly or talking about it entirely too much! I’m surprised no one has told me to shut up yet!

So, we are now into our 16th week and have about 24 more days until our ultrasound to check out the baby, the cyst, and the gender! Very exciting stuff right there.

The last doctor’s appointment went well, nothing eventful. I was told they are going to keep an eye on my weight since I’m not gaining but I’m losing and haven’t had any kind of sickness. I’ve lost like four pounds…which I didn’t think was a big deal. I think she made a bigger deal out of it then it was. I’m overweight so I’m not going to be gaining the 25 pounds and up that thinner women are supposed to gain! I think I’m doing good! haha

They found the heartbeat on the doppler for the first time so all is well with the baby! The little tyke didn’t play games this time and they found it pretty quickly.

We all just can’t wait until the ultrasound to find out everything is fine in the inside and what’s between the little tyke’s legs!! Better not play shy!

Paranormal Activity

I got the pleasure of watching the movie that is all the rage right now, Paranormal Activity. This movie is supposed to be the scariest movie of the year, or all time. I can’t keep up with all the titles of what is given to the film.

Now, this movie is actually really good and if you get in the right mindset then it is scary. Jamie says that some parts actually got to him too. That is a feat all in its own due to the fact that I don’t think he even scares!

Some parts of the movie were boring of course but you can’t be 100% since it was “home video” shots.

Paranormal Activity is even creepier if you were to watch it with a good surround system in the dark with no one talking. I’m not sure if you were to watch it the second time it would be as scary or creepy. I’ll find out as I’m going to watch it with my sister when she gets back home.

Now, after doing some reading on the film I found that there has been three different endings for the film. Two of which were shown in the theaters, one of the two only shown once I presume. The one that hasn’t been shown that I know of sounds to be a really good ending. I don’t want to give any of it away because I hate that in websites so I may touch on it later when the movie is out on DVD or more people watch it.

I do think if people like to be scared by movies and enjoy horror movies they would love this film! I did!

Good hosting is unbearable to find

In the world wide web currently there are tons of web hosting websites which offer you this and that. They say they have great up time and hardly any down time but, you have to really read their sites and then do some research if you want to make a wise decision.

I usually run companies through the internet if I am a little weary of them or they seem a little off to me. So I will usually hit Google and then go a “company name” reviews search on them. I have been surprised by a few website and such that have come across as good sites which are really bad.

Hosting is the same. It’s hard to find. I look for awesome customer service. Of course my current host is fantastic and has support literally twenty-four seven. However, if you are not lucky enough to find one like that you could always check out web hosting geeks which will point you in the right direction for where you want to be looking. They show you what the web hosts have available and even do this in a blog of theirs.

I am happy with my host a million times over, but I know some of you aren’t. Try doing research and most of the time it’ll help you out.

You’re hot then you’re cold

I like having the warmer days but seriously don’t know if I can handle much more of the hot then cold days. Today was about forty degrees and then tomorrow is going to be about sixty degrees.

I’ll take what we can get with the warm days coming to an end but geesh, stop playing with my emotions!

On another note, I think Shaina’s cat has run away. This cat disappears often but usually comes up somewhere in the house.  Well, she hasn’t shown up in awhile now. Always when someone leaves. She will probably end up turning up somewhere though.

Here’s hoping!
