An Interesting Fact

Did you know this about the pocket watch?

The rise of railroading during the last half of the 19th century led to the widespread use of pocket watches. Because of the likelihood of train wrecks and other accidents if all railroad workers did not accurately know the current time, pocket watches became required equipment for all railroad workers.

I really enjoy learning little tidbits like this.

Laptop Dreams

Our computer is about 5 years old. Even though I love CaliBama (that's her name), I wouldn't mind having a notebook computer. To be able to take my computer wherever I want to & work on different things, watch movies & create without having to be stuck at a desk would be a dream. I'll have me another laptop someday. D got one when we were dating, but it eventually crashed, to never be resurrected again. Whenever I do get one, I would love to have a pink one though! But I also think the kind with the flip top are pretty nifty.

HAPPY 31 CRYSTAL DAWN!!

IT HAS BEEN '31' YEARS!!!!!
SO SWEET!!
YOUR FAVORITE HAIR-DO!!

Need One?

The 1x2 HDMI Splitters duplicates high definition video (in multiple resolutions up to 1080p) and digital audio from one source and displays it on two units. simultaneously display a high definition video sources, such as satellite systems, HD DVD, Blu-Ray Disc, and PS3. The output sends two high definition audio/video signals to two high definition display.
Sounds like a foreign language to me, but I'm sure D knows exactly what is does.

Gotta Exercise

With 2008 fast approaching, I'm sure everyone is thinking about New Years resolutions. The #1 resolution is loosing weight. What a better way to help that along than with exercise. There is a piece of equipment that I have wanted & it's an elliptical. These things seriously rock! I would like to have one to use at home. I'm not a fan of going somewhere else to work out. Mom has equipment next door & I want even go over there.

Make Your Own

The other day, I was telling Mom about mr beer. It's a keg that you can make your own beer with. She made me laugh, when she said she's always wanted one. Yeah, I can see that going over real well with Danny. Hahaha...I could just see Mom now, up in the cave with her little Mr. Beer. It would be like the old steel's.
They also have a Mr. Rootbeer & D really wants one of them.

Car Makeover

I was thinking about giving my car "Bubbles" a makeover. We want to get a second car & then she would get all fancy. I would love to have her painted a glittery hot pink. I was looking at car spoilers & thought about adding one of those. Just to make her seem a bit more sporty. D said he would never drive a hot pink car, but that's fine with me.

Every Little Bit Helps

Working somewhere with 3 employees, I don't think we would need business performance management, but I'm sure there are countless businesses that do.
What exactly is BPM? It is a set of processes that help organizations optimize their business performance. It is a framework for organizing, automating and analyzing business methodologies, metrics, processes and systems that drive business performance.

Old?

I'll be turning 31 this week & it's not just yet time for me to buy some life insurance for senior, but there are moments, when I wonder when I got old. Like seeing kids that I used to teach at the daycare & they are now driving. Or kids that were in the youth group, when I was a youth leader & they are now married & having babies. It's also weird seeing trends that were popular when I was growing up, making comebacks.

What The Heck?

The other day, I was sitting at the computer & I kept hearing something that sorta sounded like thunder. It happened a few times, when I asked D if he had heard it. I thought maybe we were finally going to have a much needed rain storm. I heard the sound again & decided to investigate. It was 5...YES...5 squirrels, chasing each other back & forth on the cables, that run from our house to the power pole. I wanted to video them, but by the time I realized what was making all the noise, the little rascals were through with their fun. It was cute.

House Hunters

One of my favorite shows on HGTV, is House Hunters. It's so fun to see, where the people live & why they are looking for a new home. Then to see their 3 choices. I always pick my favorite, then I try to guess the house they are going to choose. The real estate agents on there, make me laugh sometimes, with the very poor acting, but I don't watch it for them. The House Hunters, that I love the most, are the international ones. I guess it's the longing for travel, in me. But it just fascinates me how other people live. Especially in other countries.
