I have been playing some of Trackmania Nations during my free time. We have our own server up and a couple of friends that come on there and play too. This game is really awesome. It is a driving game and there are hundreds of tracks that are available. You can even make your own tracks which I tried but failed miserably at. I got to try out some tracks from United (I don't know how I did it though) and they are really cool. They have weather and different scenarios like something that looks like the Outer Banks. Really cool game.

Well, my sister finally broke down and got her fiance a website. He wanted one for awhile now. I think it's because he sees everyone else working on theirs every day - all day long. He wanted to be a part of it too. His website is Cynical Nick. He got it up and running today and even joined Entrecard and dropped some cards. Once he gets the hang of it all he'll be a website fool.

I saw this on How To Eat A Cupcake and thought I would give it a try for my blog! It's super simple, all you have to do is type in your blog's URL, RSS Feed, or some words and they make a word cloud that looks similar to mine. So say you type in travel supplies then you would get a whole bunch of words that have to do with the travel supplies in a big word cloud I guess. I thought it was pretty neat.

My husband, Jamie, has wanted to do a number of different things during the time that I have been married to him and have known him. It has been a wide range of different things but most of it has been around technical and internet things. You see, he is rather a whiz at the internet, programming languages, html, php, all that stuff. I on the other hand am a total goon when it comes to it. I leave it all to him.

Cisco certification is something that he has talked about in the past. It is something that he wanted to accomplish and possible getting a job with the ability to work on the hardware and help other companies out. In fact, he used to have a job where he did basically just that. The only thing he needs to work on right now is getting his certification and tidy it all up.

I just found The Cisco Learning Network which could give him a lot of the information and means that he would need to get his certification. On this website you are able to talk with other people in their forums and
read the different articles that are in the news and that they have posted on this website. There is a ton of information that is available to everyone that is interested in taking a job in his field. They also have different network certification programs listed on their website which range from entry to specialist. Now is a good time to get Cisco certification and landing yourself a good job. Money is tight right now but the IT areas are nice to get into.

I've been having a lot of fun with my current sim family. They are the Younces. I have no idea how I came up with that last name, but I did. Anyway, in the beginning it was Patricia and Barbara. Then their family grew to having Patricia's new husband. Three people were alright in the house that they currently had.

While out in the garden Barbara became a PlantSim. My first PlantSim too! Well, while fooling around with her she produced a spore! Four people in their current house was a stretch. Especially since I was planning on turning both PlantSims back into regular Sims but they needed their own beds (PlantSims don't sleep! Fun fact!).

I checked to see how much money they had as a household ($90k!) and off to make a big house. I made this house:

Keeping my eye on the cost of the house and not furnishing kept costs down. They were able to move into the house with about 7k to buy the essentials. Right now they have finished the kitchen and began working on the downstairs bathroom. I haven't taken screenies of that though! I will tonight! So this was my first seriously made house that I spent a long time on. I think it looks nice.
