Technology....random thoughts

I ADORE, A.D.O.R.E., scream it from the mountains adore.....technology.  Yet, I can hate it with a passion that makes someone talking to me about it at the time cringe. 

But.....learning and education at our fingertips constantly?  Ability to share with my family, all four siblings at once via a medium called FaceBook?  Pinterest....perfect way for this visual creature to sort and find things....Google Reader to keep track of blogs I like to read.  What can I say?  BRING IT ON!  Way too easy to get distracted, side tracked, lost in another line of thought than what brought me in but oh well.....love the roads traveled to get to where I'm going.

This is a picture of my desk this morning.  Yes, my mug of 641.3373 (that is coffee for you non-bibliophiles), my bowl with my apple core and packet of organic plain grain cereal, stacks of items for cataloging from scratch (shivers at the thought) and my library link and my link of pure selfish interest.....clean eating.  Need to stay mega healthy now that I've lost all the weight.

OK, my personal favorite thing about technology?  Well, seems to be panning out to be my favorite although I went through a love/hate with it for a while....online dating.  Only reason it's in the favorable column at this time is yes, there is someone special and yes, we've made a decision to pursue a LTR.  That's Long Term Relationship for those of you not into text-speak.  If you had talked to me on a day when things weren't going so well, yea, hate online dating.  But at this age in my life, where am I going to meet men?  Men who aren't looking for a "newer model"?  

Lucked out.  Meet John Stacy Underwood.  Good man.

Domain? Or not to domain?

Pondering, pondering.  I've been tossing about the idea of buying a domain name and then making personal email accounts.  Should I????  I use wordpress.org for work websites and have gotten pretty good with it.  There are some pretty cool plug ins that I can't use on my wordpress.com blog.  BUT....is it worth paying for?  Should I just stay with the constantly available from anywhere free gmail or live account and forsake any personalized email?  If I decide to let my website go, then I'm out my personalized email.  All these things run through my head constantly.

As I put them on paper, I'm not thinking, just STOP!  Stick with the freebies.  I love tech but I'm not the big tech guru as evidenced by my blog that doesn't get updated as much as it should.  I would love to keep a better record of what runs through my head.  Possibly in the future a domain name.  But for now I need to just create my landing page that has links to my daily places to visit.....found symbaloo recently and may use that. 

 .....sigh.....more decisions.  Gotta love ever changing tech!

Capturing Becca

Love this photo....though not totally in focus, love that it captures Becca in what she truly loves.  This was at Pine Hill with her stable friends.  Cultivating those relationships, many with older women, is wonderful for Becca.  Tonite she baby sits for one of the lady's FIVE children.

Watching Avatar for the.....fourth (?) time

Avatar is my fav movie at this time, obviously.  I love the message, but for some reason, the movie appeals a LOT.  I got the three disk special release and am watching the extended version.  Dying to see the other two discs too.

ALSO....have wanted TrueBlood for ages, but at $54 for the season, was out of my budget UNTIL....da da da dum.....Best Buy put it on sale for $14.99 for Black Friday and today (Saturday).  Ran to get it today.  YAY!
