I am getting a new pc!!!!

I always try to stay on the cutting edge of technology. But this is unreal. My husband just emailed me this link and said we were getting one with the week. I will let everyone know in a couple of weeks what It think of it. I am excited to get my new toy ....I can't wait to get it. I am already rearranging furniture ..cause this will have to go in the living room. Click here to see what I am getting! I had my mind made up that I was getting an apple ....but I guess Microsoft has changed my mind for me.

I am going to share ONE

Ina previous blog I mentioned that I have started two new blogs. I had thought that I was going to keep them both private ...but have had second thoughts on the matter.

I have decided to make my "Spiritual Journey" page public. My first thoughts was to keep it private since I am still a student, will always be a student and have a very long way to go. BUT ..maybe if I had come across someone like me a few years ago ....maybe I would have found "truth" sooner.

So anyhow .....without a bunch of hoopla .....Kim's Spiritual Journey is now open to the public.

PageFlakes

Okay ....Once again I have found the best of the best in my opinion. I have for many years been a user of an "Internet Start Page" ....such as Yahoo, MSN ...currently I use iGoogle ...which I thought nothing could ever compare with. This morning I found one that might just give Google a run for its money in this category. I have only seen this page for less than 15 seconds and knew it was worth posting a blog on. I can tell you this ..that I WILL have an account with PageFlakes before the day is done. Let me know what you think. It's real easy ...just click on the "leave comment" link in this post .....pretty please???

Two New Blogs

I have been in a funky mood today ...just one of those days. It's times like this when you just want to get lost in your own thoughts to find direction.

I have decided to start two brand new blogs. At he present time these two blogs are for the purpose of my individual growth. They will be used to get things off my chest, and to keep new information documented so that I have access to it whenever I need it.

The first of the two blogs will be my "spiritual" one. Yes ..thats what I said ......and I will say it again for those of you that are in shock ...."Spiritual". Over the past several months I have going through a period of spiritual enlightenment. I have so many thoughts, views and pieces of information that I want to share. Some of you may be shocked .....some of you not so shocked. I thought about just including a label marked "spiritual" in my Pink Camo blog ...but after serious thought and divine direction ..I have created a brand new blog. For now ...I am keeping this one private. I consider myself a student ..and I have so much to learn. For now this is a very private matter. It is my hopes though to one day share this blog ...and you will probably be somewhat amazed and shocked at the transformation I am undergoing. Its pretty amazing ..and I have been waiting my whole life for this.

The second new blog that I created is one that is also one that will be for my eyes only. This one is about that word every hates to hear on Monday mornings ...its called "Work". There have been evil people that I have to deal with on a daily basis that sometimes really gets the best of me. I don't want these people to get the best of me .......so I am fighting back. I am fighting back the best way I know how ...so wa la ...a new blog!!

Memorial Day Weekend ....Nice!

We had a very nice, relaxing and fun Memorail Day weekend. It would have been a nice weekend for camping ...but who would have known the weather was going to be so beautiful.

On Saturday Robert, Brittany and myself went to our extended family's ..the Lemley homestead for the traditional Memorial Day, cookout, chill out, very fun get together. I was able to get many good pictures ...as I knew I would. Click HERE to view a slide show of all the pictures in my flickr folder.

Chef Ron did the cooking on the gril ..and cover dishes were brought. I could have easily grabbed a few of them and taken off. The food was fantastic!

On Sunday we went back over for leftovers with Ron and his parents and ended the evening with a four wheeler ride up on the hill to the camp site and back. Alicia was with her mom so she didn't get to join us for this ride ...but Brittany took her place for the evening on the back of Ron's four wheeler. When we got to the camp site ...the view was breath taking as usual .... Being there brought mixed emotions. I can't wait for camping ....and I am so VERYmuch looking forward to the peace, tranquility and the cood times the newly named "Paradise Mountain" provides. However, it will take some getting use to not having "my buddy" there. Actually, this past weekend was the first get together there that I did not burst into tears. So ..maybe I am making progress.

Whatever sad feeling I was having was soon ended by watching the two George of the Jungles swing on a grapvide ..its a damn good thing that it didn't break! Click on the "Play" button to watch the two cavemen.

Any how ..here are a few pictures that I took from the campsite. The four wheeler ride was ended with Ron putting Brittany at the helm and let her do a little driving.

Today, I think we are going to just piddle around. I have some ebay things I need to get done today so I can stop at the post office in the morning on the way to work.

Wow ...I'm Speechless

Don't have much time for this post ....and I will wrtie more this weekend. I got up this morning and was drinking my coffee and I typically do ..and I read news that Facebook has updated their platform ..so I took a peek. I was floored ...they did it right in every sense of the word right. So ...if your a friend of mine, take a look at the new Facebook and set up an account!!! Yikes! ..I have got to stop playing and get ready for work.

Twitteroo

I found a cool twitter app that rests on your desktop. I have tested this and love it! If you love Twitter like I do ..then try this out.

We were both in tears

Early this morning I had a renal ultrasound. I tried not to think about it during the day ....but the good news came around 3:00. My kidney scan was normal! I think the tears just came from the overwhelming sense of relief. Robert and I have been through so much ...and this was the best news we got in the past two years. I know for certain that there have been several factors that contributed to this good news. I changed a few things in my life ...altered a few things .....and got rid of a few things. Everything is really good right now .....I just hope it stays this way.

Kim is dancing around the room singing .....

"were gonna have a party". Just got off the phone with Ron ...looks like we are on for this weekend ....I am in the party hardy mood. Its going to be a blast! This one will surely be different than past years .....but its summer, its almost camping season ..and we are gonna have fun.

30 Boxes

If your like me and have signed up for every web 2.0 application there is ..there here is one more to add you your list. 30 boxes brings all your "other" things into one place ...and its pretty nifty. My life is totally an open book ......I love sharing mine and Roberts life with our friends and family. It does upset me though to have people look at my website with malicious intent. Anyhow ....as you can see ..I added a 30 BOXES link in the right side bar of this page

Bloglines

I have been trying to find a way to pull the daily rss feeds to my phone. Although I typically use my Google Reader everyday ....it was hard to read on my cell phone /PDA. I downloaded software with the highest rating called "Smart RSS". I didn't have to manually type in each rss feed if I used a website called BLOGLINES. I was very pleased when all my daily reads automatically download. I then am able to read my feeds on the go and on demand. I love it!

In over my head with .....

BUSY! After taking a vacation ...I came home to a "to do" list that somehow tripled. Its been a crazy week ...and I haven't had time to think straight.

Although we loved our vacation out west ......I am still trying to catch up.

This week .......my old buddy lost her sister. It has killed me not being able to be there for her. Her sister passed away on the morning of Mothers day. Dreama has had a lot on her shoulders recently and my prayers go out to her. Ron has tried to be there for her .......its been hard on him too.

It has also been a busy week at work ....I had a go live for a project I recently took over after returning back to work from a 2 month medical leave. It went okay. definitely some lessons learned.

Robert has been sick all week with his allergies acting up. I think he is starting to feel a little better since it had rained.

I am hoping to get caught up with all my blogging and pod casting ....... I think I need to make a new "to do" list.

If you get some time take a look at our most recent flickr pictures. I haven't looked at them too much until I take off some weight.

It is supposed to be a nice weekend ...hopefully we will get in some four wheeling.

A week later......

...and we are home. We got home late Saturday evening ..and were totally exhausted. I have been wanting to blog our trip ....but we are just starting to come out of this jet lag thing. I am going to start a blog of our trip .....it will probably be in draft format for another few days. I just wanted to let everyone know that we are home ....safe and had a great time!

For the next week.....

I will be blogging via audio. Please go to my Audio blog (to the right of here) and catch up on our family vacation.

A Visit From My Brother

Last night my brother came by for a picture and I should have taken pictures! But ...I already had my camera packed ...why was I so stupid and not take it out.

Robert and I both really like Amy and cute little Josie. Little Josie is such a sweetie ......I can't wait till she comes back to visit.

I am sooooooooooooo happy for him. I think he is going to keep this one.

Audio blog added

I found a cool tool on the web that I have now put here on my page. It's called GABCAST ..and if you look to the right there it is. I thought it would be fun to add some sort of an audio blog that I can use ....especially on vacation. So ....stay tuned. I think you can even do a conference type of bog too ...I might just try it out and see what happens.
