My Kindell Arrived

As crappy as I have been feeling I have not had enough time with my new toy my Kindell. Everyone I have showed it to really likes it ...and it would not surprise me if I had some friends that takes the Kindell plunge as well.



Its been so long since I have been this under the weather ..I am so ready to start feeling better.

Robert and I are both down with the fl at the same time ...I told him tonight that I was not sure if its better or not to b sick at the same time ..both has its advantages and disadvantages,

We talked to Ron tonight ....I wish I could do something to bring his sprits up ...and hate when I have a friend that is down ..and in Ron’s case more like a brother.

Another test

I am just about ready to throw in the towel with this new software!

I am trying

...to get the hang of this new software and it has been a fight since I got it. One of us is going to win the battle

Under the Weather

The week didn’t start out the best. Everyone in the house is crabby and not feeling well. On top of the we are waiting for the cable guy to show up so that he can fix our broken “On Demand” service. I am tired and want to go to bed. I was hoping that my Kindell was going to show up today ......but oh well, maybe tomorrow.

My Kindell is on its way!

For several months there has been a new electronic on the market that has caught my eye. I Have been waning one really bad. I finally convinced myself with as much reading as I do it will pay for itself in no time. I have so many books ....and they are books that I don’t want to ever par with. But, with the rate of book buying I have been doing for the past two years I will be able to open up a library in no time.

The Kindell from Amazon. It does have a few competitors like the Sony eReader .....but I have done my homework and its Kindell all the way,


Oh ...and by the way I am using my new blogging software Mac Journal.


And if the mood hits me right in the morning ...I mau work on a new website I have been wanting to put together since I got my new Mac Book Pro.

One More Test Blog

This is my last test blog before I put myself to bed tonight ....I am loving this!

Adding another test blog

Wow ....I am just starting to see how well all the apple products integrate with each other. As soon as I put together a web page from my .mac account you will understand what I am talking about. I just haven’t found the time as of yet.

Trying Out New Software

I currently purchased a new software application that I will use for blogging. The software is designed specifically for Macs. There is a lot to it ...and will make my blog look more appealing to the eye. I don’t have to log into blogger in order to post to my blog. In addition to that is also works as a journal. Someday, I would like to print my journal and make a book of it our something ...this is just a step in that direction that will allow me t do that.


I am very curious to learn all the features it has to offer.

This is test from my Mac journal

This is test to see if this application works;

A Local Author

Today, while out on lunch break I saw a book for sale that looked
interesting. The author is from right here in Morgantown. The book is
called "A Bump at Pinnacle Flats". She dedicated her book to two local
coal miners one being her father. The author is Kathy Leveno Stackpole
is currently works at Chico Enterprises. I am looking forward to
reading this book. From what I understand she makes reference to life
in West Virginia. I will let you know when I am done reading the book
what I thought.

My Brother has way too much time on his hands

resd this one!

1,000th Blog Post

via George's Journal by George Hall on 2/20/08

I have just became a Millennium Blogger. This very BLOG post is my 1,000th BLOG post since I first started Blogging with my first post on September 11, 2004 when I posted "My First Post" as my very first ever blog. Who would have ever imagined after that first post I would reach such a milestone as a Blogger.

I would like to thank my Sister Kim who first started her own online Journal on her old website. I would like to than Evan Fedorko for making the statement that he was a Grogger not a Blogger to make me wonder what a Blogger was. I would like to thank any and all dedicated readers who read this on a daily basis for information, News or just some rambling on my part.

What is amazing is how many times George's Journal has appeared in Google searches when I Google things up because of something that I have said in my Blog.

It's amazing sometimes how you can see yourself develop over the internet if you know where to look. 1,000 Blog posts says a lot about my post collegiate life since I became a Blogger after I graduated college. However like I said it's a matter of knowing where to look to see other material. During College years and also post college I have 20,000+ posts on Blue and Gold News and my username returns 1,490 returns of me expressing myself on the internet in one manner or another. Most of this was done during and post college. If you are looking for anything prior to me going to college, well that stuff is there too. I used to post on Newsgroups pretty regularly and if you google my username there you can come up with another 378 times I posted my opinion on one subject or another. Most of those were done in my WebTV days when I first started using the World Wide Web. Now if they could only google up my old IRC Chat transcripts from the early 90's with AOL and and later at Talk City we would be set.

Needless to say that I have left my mark on this thing that they call the internet. My computer life all started with a TRS 80 my Dad and Jean bought us for Christmas in the early 80's, to my Dad's first PC in the early 90's and I saw him connect to Prodigy. He was looking at stuff on his computer through the phone lines. Fascinating.

I have developed my skills exponentially since that first time on a computer in the early 80's or the first time ever online with prodigy to AOL to WebTV to a PC to having my own domains and Websites.

1,000 BLOG Posts is something to celebrate, but it is only the tip of the iceberg.

Here is to my next 1,000 posts. Keep Reading and I'll keep writing.

iPhone gets copy/paste advanced multitouch

While the filing details using a combination of the thumb and two fingers to cut, copy and paste -- something that seems awfully relevant to that little iPhone thing Apple sells -- what we're most intrigued by is the description of the "side pinky swipe" to control system functions like volume and screen brightness.

Kim's Facebook Reminder

Made some changes in my Facebook ....take a peek.

Some Changes in Blogger

Blooger has always been my blog of choice ...and I have tried them all. I always come back to blogger ...in my opinion they are at the top. Anyhow ...they are getting ready for some new changes. You can read all about it at Draft Blogger. I am using it right now and will be giving it a test run.

iScrapbook

One of my favorite hobbies is scrapbooking. For years I have been a conventional scrapbooker. You would think that as much as I love web design and working on my laptop that my preferance would be more towards digital scrapbooking. Well ...at last it is. I decided a few months ago, since I got my Mac Book Pro that I was going change the way I scrapbook and combine the conventional methods with digital. I went on a search for the best digitial scrapbooking software I cold find ...and I have test drove many digital applications. At last ...I found the perfect scrapbooking software called iscrapbook. If you are interested in digital scrapbooking it would be my recommendation that you give iscrapbook a try .....I think you will be pleased. I am looking forward getting one done so that I can share the digital part of it here online. The first one that I am working on is Daniel and Kamey's visit to Morgantown a few months ago.

See aura energy through fingers, and aura around bodies

Step it Up 2 - A clip

Here is a movie clip from the movie Brittany and I jsut went to see on Friday night.

Our New Mattress

I LOVE out new mattress made espically for the Hampton Inn hotels. They sale there mattesses at the Hamton Home Collection. It is a king size just like out older one. Robert hates it! But ...he has also hatesd every new matress he ever gets. I am sure it will take some time for him to get use to. When I woke up in the middle of the night on Frida night he was on the sofa because the bed was hurting his arm. I ordered another pillow type insert that goes on top ....hopefully that will help him out. What is very different about this bed is that we decided to use the box springs on our platform bed. I have to use a stool in get in and out of bed. Both Roki and Bulsie have enough sping action is their butts to manage to still sleep with us. *lol*

Step it up - Number 2

Brittany has long awaited the second release of "STEP IT UP 2" for some time now. Her and I ventured out Friday evening for a girls night at the movies. It was fun ...although I would have rather seen "JUMPER". Step it up was a movie that Robert elected not to go see ....it was definetly a chic flick. It was a good dance movie ....I think dance movies have come a long way since my teenage years when I was going to see "Flash Dance" and "Foot Loose".

Snipping Coupons

....it's been awile since I have sat and clipped coupns from the Sunday paper. I never seem to take the time to do it anymore. After my last monthly grocery shopping day a few weeks ago I decided that this family needs to take time to snip coupons whenever we can. I was shocked at the prices. What we had once budgeted 6 monthis to a year ago ...with money leftover is now not enough to get the job done. It's a shame that gas prices are so high where they don't need to be. I don't know how a young family starting out these days manage ...I certainly woulnd't want to be going through that again.

Go Robert!

Robert bowled this weekend at the Eagles Tournament in Fairmont. We had to be there Saturday at 1:30 and this morning at 9:00 AM ,,,,,I elected to stay in bed for the one today though. For the entrire series he had a 197 average and 639 in singles and curently in 6th place, 541 in doubles and 600 even in team event today. It as the first time he has bowled on wood lanes for serveral years. He really prefers to bowl on wood lanes ....but it took hm some adjusting to get used to them again. I am always so proud of my baby!

A Cold Winter

This is the first year that we ran out of firewood. Typically, we have JUST enough wood to make it ...almost down to the exact log. Here we are mid way through February and we only have a half a row left. I called our wood guy tonight .....he is going to deliver and stack a row of firewood tomorrow for us. Robert and I were both glad that he still had firewood left.

Is it Friday yet?

I so wish it were Friday ...one more work day to go ...heck I was ever

nap!

Public Sevice Commission Changes Mind

via George's Journal by George Hall on 2/14/08

The Public Service Commission initially was going to geographically implement a new area code for the Northern Half of West Virginia. We were going to get a new 681 area code for everyone in the northern part of the state.

However the PSC has rescinded this decision and has decided to implement the new 681 area code on a overlay instead of a geographical breakdown. What this means is that new numbers will be given the 681 area code while others can retain their original phone number. Seven digit dialing will soon be a thing of the past, as with the overlay a ten digit dialing (including the area code) will need to be implemented.

For most cell phone owners, this will be nothing new as we do this now.

I Love my New Mattress

Last night after such my new mattress arrived. I can't say my first
night was my best nights sleep ...I was really feeling quite ill ..and
any bed would have felt good. I still don't feel the best ...but I am
at work. I hope to have a good evening so I can give my mattress an
official good nights sleep. We ended up using the box springs and Roki
can barely get in bed with us ...not sure if that is good or bad.
Robert and I are going to give it to the weekend ..and may end up taking
off the box springs to lower the bed.

DVD on my iPod

News from Crave.net today announced that there is new software called
"Handbrake" that allows you to watch your DVD's on your iPod. I am very
excited about this and look forward to using it.

Lord of the Rings

.....I might be a generation behind but I finally watched the first movie in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. I really liked it by the time it ended ....but was struglling with it when it began. I am definetly looking forward to the second one ...although I don't think it will be tonight. Robert just watched this first one with me ....but I have a sneaky suspision that he won't be watching number two ..or three *lol*

Saturday Mornings

There is something that is special about Saturday mornings. I just got to sleep in, I don't really have to get up, I know that I can go to bed anytime I want to tonight .....and I can sleep in again tomorrow. I don't think there is any other day of the week that you have so many options open.

I got a call yesterday .......my new mattress comes this Wednesday ....HOO RAY!!!!

I am thinking about joining a local paranormal group in the area.

One more day to go ...

.....until the weekend. I am more tired than usual this week. I think that a lack of food has definelty hindered my energy and sleep patterns. Today is day seven of the diet and so far so good. We had an open house at work today .food galore! I was good and only had a salad and some green beans. I refuse to use the scales on this diet ..I am going to go by the fit of my clothes. So far ...I have not been able tp store any of my fat clothes in the garage. Maybe in a few weeks I might have a few things that I put away and hope to never see again.

We are going to take it easy this weekend ....Robert bowls next weekend and the weekend after that we are going to another deer roast. Myabe I will get started on another good book this weekend.

Over The Hump Day

It's Wednesday
Two more days to go
I am so tired
Goodnight.

Tonights Dinner

After our taxes today, if we get through it without mad at each other we will be eating for the first time on our new grill. We have been without a grill. Yesterday, while Brittany and I were out shopping Robert was working hard on putting together the HE-MAN grill of his dreams. We both love grilled foods. Is a perfect time to be eating grilled foods since I started this new diet ...with most of my diet being lean meats.

Another Tax Blog

Talkng of tax matters .....I just read that the tax that they wanted pass by vote yesterday failed! ...thank goodness! What the vote was for was to pass a $2.00 per week tax if you live and work on Mon County. I for one am glad it didn't pass ....I give enough of
my hard earned money to the tax monster. I do believe in taxes ....but I would prefer to only be taxed once on my income. I know there were many of my friends and family members that disagreed with the new tax proposal as much as I did ....so the outcome was very good.

Tax Day for The SanJulian's

Today is the day the I dread. It is the day that Robert and I will sit down and d our taxes. Although we do use tax software, it is extrremely stressfull. It's such a dreadful thought I don't know why I am even doing this blog. *lol* So ....I think I will end it here.

DAY 3

Because of my "carefree" views of what I eat ..... I am now on DAY 3 of my diet. It was a diet I knew I needed to get started, one that I had tried to get started, and one that I kept starting over ever day. I went to my doctor on Wednesday and there was something that also showed up on y CT scan .....a sign that I need to loose weight. The hardest thing for me is to suffer by not eating when I am hungry ....therefore I eat. The only way for me to not eat is to not be hungry. The only way I have ever found not to be hungry was not to eat carbs. So, today is day three of a carb free diet. So far, so good .....I made it to third day without "starting over". I have a very long way to go .......but I am going to give this my best effort.

Weekend Flying By

Yesterday ...I slept late and the rest of the day was spent running errands, shopping, putting away the goods. By the end of the day I was exhausted. I always take Brittany with me on the only day of the month I shop for groceries ...I simply can't just push two buggies around and check out by myself. You wouldn't think that a family of three, five including the pets, could possibly eat so much food in one month. We all have different tastes and different nutrition requirements for different reasons. When I was a child ....I ate what was on the table, Now, luckily for me I liked everything my mom made ...but I would have been one hungry little girl. There were a few times i did have to eat something that I didn't want. I promised myself as a little girl that I would never make my children eat something that they felt was repulsing ...and that I would find another way to get the same nutrition into my child by giving them something they enjoyed eating. Eating is one of the simple pleasures in life ...shouldn't we enjoy it?
Stay tuned to my next blog *lol*

2012 Mayan Prophecy Pt. 1

Groundhog Day Video From You Tube

This is a pretty good video I found on You Tube about ground hog day,

Is Spring Around the Corner?

Tomorrow is Ground Hog Day.  Depending on whether or not the ground hog sees his shadow will forcast if we are going to have 6 weeks of winter left.  I for one ...at this time of the year is eagerly awaiting spring.  I also know that my brother follows this news very close .....hoping that there is no snow in his future for the current year.  But whether ot not the groundhog sees his shadow ....we still have the good ole Easter snow to look forward to.

A New Social Network

In my opinion there are more than needed social networks. I myself belonf to several ..but am only visit my "My Space" page and my "Face Book" page. If you wold have asked me yesterday I would have told you that I wouldn't want to be joining any others in the near future. However, earlier this month a read a book called "The Gaia Project". While searching on one of my many metaphysical websites I visited the Cosmic Lighthouse. While I was there I discovered that there is a metaphysical social network called The Gaia Community ......so, I am going to sign up. It will be nice to converse with like minded people.
