One aspect of my job (which I get to do from home!!) is to run reports for clients. Now, I am a HUGE Mac fan - and I have never had any issues using my Mac - until recently. The program needed to run reports is not compatible with Mac.

So now I am faced with this dilemma; do I install boot camp on my MacBook or do I just purchase a notebook computer and use that strictly for work? I won't put anything on my iMac, that computer is used by both CJ and myself so i don't want to take the chance on screwing that up!

I'm going to talk to my ex husband, Jeff. He's an IT dude, he'll be able to help, I hope!

If you are looking for a baby shower gift and just can't decide what to get, consider baby gift baskets as they are always an excellent choice. There are all sorts of useful items in baby gift baskets and of course, they come all wrapped up in a nice little package.

This gift basket is perfect for the arrival of a baby boy! Look what it includes:
  • Soft short sleeve cotton onesie – available in two sizes
  • Two baby burp cloths – beautifully adorned with bows
  • Infant size denim bucket hat – to keep sun off baby’s delicate skin!

We went to Ohio over the weekend to visit CJ's family. Usually I like those trips but this last one was horrible - the boys were just getting over bronchitis and I was just coming down with it. So, needless to say, I had an awful weekend.

My mom took care of the animals, which she usually does. The one thing I need to remember to ask her for next time is to make sure she leaves some windows cracked - I hate the way a house smells when it's closed up for days. Even a clean house, like mine, gets this weird smell to it when everything is closed for days and days in a row. I may even tell her to let a candle burn for a bit when she's here with the dog because it can help neutralize smells, especially vanilla scented candles.

Back to work and routine now. I don't think we'll be going anywhere the rest of the year - I don't *think*

We are spending this holiday weekend in Ohio with CJ's family. The boys are getting over bronchitis and I have been lucky enough to get bronchitis, so yea, I feel like I'm dying.

Here's what really sucks; I still have an appetite and I can't taste anything! I swear, no matter how sick I get, I always seem to have an appetite. After this trip you can be sure I'll be on the lookout for the best diet pills on the market because despite my illness, I have been pigging out and there is so much food here!

It's not the best picture of me from back in the day but here I am in my stylish lab coat - hahaaa

Ahh, the days when I was the operational supervisor for a plasmapheresis center. Yup, this is me before the days of blogging and online reviews.

Sometimes I miss the 'workforce' ut then I look at my sweet babies and I'm so glad I'm home with them.

If you have a business, even a small business, have you ever thought about setting up trade show exhibits for your business? This is something that I have been thinking about since being to a trade show recently.

In fact, I saw one peninsula display that really caught my eye! I bet it would not be difficult to think up a theme for a home based business! It was a cool Disney exhibit from a travel agency who specialized in Disney vacations. I'll tell ya what, it really 'sold' people on booking a trip, even in this bad economy! The visual aspect of a trade show exhibit can really entice people to buy.

Looking for deals? We all are, especially in this economy. I found a great way to get some excellent stuff at an awesome price - wholesale auctions are the way to go!

I was just amazed at all the things I was able to find this way, some stuff I needed and some I didn't even know I needed, lol! I bet there are people out there that never thought of this - heck, I was one of them!

Right before we left for vacation - I'm talking the DAY before, CJ went out and bought me the Nikon COOLPIX S60 and I have been in heaven ever since.

I LOVE THIS CAMERA

The pictures it takes come not nice. The touch screen makes it fun to use. If you're looking a photo on the screen and turn the camera sideways, the photo moves too! The stylus allows you to write on the photos, so you an add fun captions and thought bubbles.

My favorite aspect? You can take panoramic view pictures!!! How? Just take separate photos, upload the photos to your computer and the camera's software pieces the photos together to make one complete picture!

CJ and I thought we'd see a lot of discrepancies with this but we didn't. See for your self! He took 3 shots of the view from our balcony at the Polynesian Resort - where we stayed while in Disney. Here they are:

Awesome, huh? I am so glad I have this camera!
