Just recently I upgraded the memory on my computer to 2GB. I only had 512MB so my computer was lagging a lot.

I wasn’t sure which one to get and even considered getting dell memory until I spoke with a technician online on some website. That’s when he was able to check my computer specs and figure out which one was right for my computer.

Thankfully, he was right and the one I received worked perfectly in my computer. Now it’s running fast which I just absolutely love!!

A plasma tv…

It would be really nice if I owned my own plasma tv. We just have a regular tv and a 52″ one. You know…just two regular tvs that can’t be hung on the wall.

If I had a plasma, I would want a plasma tv mount attached because of course I would want it on the wall. That would open up more room to put things in the room because you don’t have a big tv in the corner of the specific room, etc.

Maybe when I have more money, I’ll get one.

Relaxing out back

The beautiful sunshine is coming out and the glorious warm weather too. Time to kick off my shoes and relax in the backyard while reading a novel or crocheting.

I also love just sitting out back listening to the wind chimes my neighbour has hanging out on their patio deck. It really is so soothing. It somehow reminds me of the beach though. It’s just that peace feeling that I love about it.

Growing up with pimples…who doesn’t?

When my sisters and I were growing up, we all had our share of acne problems. I mean, who doesn’t these days. Of course we tried a variety of acne solutions and different products to help get rid of it. Some worked and some didn’t.

My parents keep saying that drinking pop and eating chocolate bars gives you acne. To be honest, I disagree. I haven’t actually searched if it does or not, but it just seems far fetched.

Maybe I’ll go search that now. LOL!

Thinking about it…

There are some things I just don’t think or talk about until when they suddenly pop up in my head or I come across something related.

One of those things is term life insurance quote or I guess you can say life insurance in general. I have life insurance from my work right now but it’s really minimum. I believe it’s only $10,000 right now but that’s because I got the job in January. Maybe it goes up with years that I pay into for the insurance? I’m not exactly sure how it works.

All I do know is that my beneficiaries where my nephew, sisters, and other family.

What would be nice is if I was a beneficiary to a great great aunt or something like that and inherited $$. Man, that would be awesome.

Unfortunately, my family is not so. We come from a long line of hard working laborers who grew up the “old fashioned way”. Meh…but it’s okay to dream about it, right? lol

Making my rosaries

One of my new years mini resolutions was to make my own rosaries. In fact I have been and they are turning out GREAT!!

It would be nice if I actually used freshwater pearls, but I’m okay with just using faux pearls instead. Their cheap and I can buy in bulk too. They really look nice as rosary beads.

I’ll have to get a picture of some of the rosaries I already created. Maybe I’ll do that someone when there’s sunshine out since it’s pitch black where I am. Oh well…tomorrow it is!

Ever went bungee jumping?

Have you ever sat and wondered, what things haven’t you done yet? I do all the time. I even right them down on a paper so I won’t forget.

I personally haven’t played golf EVER in my life. Crazy I know!! If I did, I’d probably get something like Callaway irons and other accessories because I’ve heard good reviews of them.

Another thing I haven’t done is sky diving. I REALLY want to try that out too. I’ve done a mini bungee jumping thing that available at a local theme part. Actually it was called “Xtreme Skyflyer” at Canada’s Wonderland. Now THAT was SUPER COOL!!!!

You are pulled up from your back all the way up 170 feet. Then you pull a cord which releases you and you go flying forward above everyone and everything. You reach speeds of more than 100km/hr too. It’s super fast and just a thrilling experience.

If you are ever in Canada, then you gotta try it too!!

Fullfilling their dreams

A lot of people I know are going into their own businesses. They are basically becoming entrepreneurs. It’s definitely exciting whenever they tell me their plans for their businesses.

Some need extra space like this office space Connecticut so they can actually have their business run out of an office — super important with an internet business. Then there are others who are opening their own shops and need retail space.

I’m actually proud of the people I know going into business for themselves. Heck, it’s one of my own dreams too!! … someday I suppose.

Eye glasses friendly home

When I look at my entire family and most of my relatives, a lot of us actually need some sort of low vision aids. Most wear glasses and it’s crazy now that I think about it.

Every person in my own family has glasses. My father and older sister need them to see, so they wear it everyday. My mother uses hers to read. Then my younger sister and I use them to see things at a distance.

How many people in your family wear glasses or need visual aids?

My own elementary “signature”

When I was younger and attending elementary school, I always…and I mean ALWAYS wore funny t-shirts. That was basically my signature I guess you can say.

I had taco bell dog shirts, Homer Simpson shirts, and just random shirts that had funny comments on them. Of course I got in trouble a few times because the shirts I wore ended up being “inappropriate” for a Catholic school.

To this day, I still have some of my old funny shirts in the back of my closet. LOL! They definitely bring memories back whenever I search through my clothes.
