If you talked to my brother I’m sure he could give you all the details on how video game software has changed over the years. *LOL* He’s been a gamer forever. Me, I’m lucky to know what is the newest system on the market.
We do have plans to purchase a Wii at tax time, a year or two after they came into being. *LOL* Thankfully they are not obselete yet. *LOL*

I have the best big sister in the world. I am sure there are a lot of disbelievers out there that think they have the best sister, but I would be more than willing to argue. I decided a couple months ago that I needed my own place. I have been mooching off my parents for long enough. Having no idea what to do or where to go, I called my sister. She was a lifesaver. She found me the perfect apartment within my budget. She get me a great deal on internet through http://www.wildbluedeals.com/ that saved me a ton of money. She even wrote down tips to reduce energy bills. She has been so great throughout this entire process. I have always worried about the expense of living on my own, but with my sister’s help, I know I will be fine. She has walked me through every little step and every single detail. I know I can call her with any problems. I am so lucky to have a sister that doesn’t mind a helpless brother like me. I have been bothering her a lot with all my questions and she never complains. She is a wonderful person and I am so lucky to have her as my sister.

I’m anxiously awaiting a letter. Around Thanksgiving I received a letter from a long lost cousin of mine. He was one of the first that I met when I came to Kansas so long ago. He’s only a year younger, so we hung out a lot. Looking back I wonder why we ever lost touch with each other….
I really miss him. He was fun, and never minded hanging out with his girl cousin. *LOL* We’d play basketball, and walk around town together. We’d play his game system, and just hang out. We were friends. And then life changed. I went my way, and he went his, and we never talked anymore.
Well he got in touch with me again. The first time in over 12 years. It’s really sad to think of all that lost time. When I received his first letter I was shocked, when I received the second, I was pleased. Now I’m looking for the third. We’ve both made a lot of mistakes in life, and I think that is what will bring us closer together again. Waiting for the letter is a killer though. I look for it every day, hoping and praying it will be there.
Miss you cousin dear.

I’ve done a lot of dreaming of my “someday home”. One of the things I’ve thought about is laminate flooring. I first thought I would want some of that floating floor, but I’ve discovered flaws with that. Two different people I know have used that, and not with good results, so I don’t want that. I’m thinking some nice good quality tile. I’m not a big fan of linolium, because if one part needs replaced you have to replace the whole floor, which is why I like tile. We’ll have to see though. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever have my “someday house”.

I don’t think I will ever have a need for yoga sandals, but I am anxious for Dad to go back to work this next week, because I am going to start hitting the Rec Center and working out some. I miss the weight room, and I discovered, just as I feared, that since I quit smoking, I’m starting to gain weight again. I really don’t want to smoke again, but I refuse to be fat…So we’ll try exercise and then see where I end up.

I remember when my Dad drove his truck “over the road”. He always hated delivering to Brooklyn, Chicago, and places like that. Too big, too many people, and not designed for semi trucks.
I’d like to visit New York, and other large, well known cities, just to say that I’ve been there, but I wouldn’t want to live there, nor would I want to try and drive in such places. I don’t even like to drive in Kansas City!!!

Okay, so my first thought is to whine about how horrible I feel, but I won’t I promise. Neither do I have any particular interest in talking about the htc reviews though.
Perhaps I could talk about my nuisense cat, who won’t leave me alone to type. *LOL* He is climbing all over me purring up a storm. He’s so funny!!

I know that when people all over the United States think about Idaho, all they think about is potatoes. I know that my state produces a lot of potatoes, but people have to know that there is more to Idaho that just potato farming? I am originally from Boise, but went to college in Florida, and was known simply as “Potato” at my dorm because I am from Idaho. I found it annoying at first, but eventually got used to it and stopped fighting people. I had to come to terms with the fact that there was nothing I could do to change people’s perceptions, and it wasn’t worth getting angry or upset. When I moved back to Boise after college I was happy to see that there were many Boise wireless internet providers. Things had changed a lot in the four years that I was gone. There was a new mall in the suburb I grew up in and all of a sudden Boise State’s football team was in the top five nationally. I couldn’t believe all of the companies that came into town in that short time I was gone. I’m hoping that as Boise grows people in the rest of the country will slowly stop thinking about us as the potato state.

Doesn’t the sound of mobile computer workstations sound perfect?? Although it’s always nice to be able to get away from work for awhile, it’s also wonderful to be able to take your work with you. I think it offers a lot more freedom. I, however will not be taking work with me tomorrow. The girls and I are off to enjoy a wonderful 24 hours with family. Even today is exciting, because of the preparations.

I have to say that I’m not the least bit enthused about talking about eyelash growth products today. I have the most horrible headache at the moment, and I’m thinking of all that needs taken care of before we leave tomorrow.
Even though I’m not really feeling well at the moment, I am so excited to be going tomorrow!! The girls have been counting down the days as well.
