Yesterday my husband and I went and watched Paranormal State. I will have to say it wasn’t what I was expecting and would have like a little more to it. It does start out kind of like an episode of Ghost Hunters. I like that show a lot, but that’s neither here or there. In the movie the girl had a hunting, which was demonic in nature. It was something which followed her around from childhood. Not everything in the movie was far fetch some of it was a little far fetch. Some of the video footage was interesting. In the last scene I wonder if they had help from someone like the Plano cosmetic dentist. The girl seemed to have animal teeth weird and not possible.
The movie wasn’t as scary as they claimed, although my husband said it could get into someone mind. I think it might have gotten into his mind. It wasn’t to bad. Someone brought their infant child with them, as a parent I would have never done that, because I think something like this I would wait until my child at least 7 or older and that’s saying they like scary things and won’t get freak out by it. The movie has potentials to freak a young person out.
The most interesting scene to me was the one where the weje board caught fire, and moved on it own. Now I am not sure how possible that is I thought it needed some unwise humans to help it move.

Well I have had my Toshiba for quiet a while, I am still happy with mylaptop. Here are some of the things I have notice it tends to run on the hot side which worries me that it going to burn out quickly. I need to look at buying a new fan for my laptop and make sure it doesn’t over heat.
What am I happy with, I like the way most games on facebook plays nicely and the laptop is fast enough to handle it. I like the fact if I wanted to I could watch a DVD or listen to music from the computer.
What I don’t like about it is how cluttered it was as far as start up programs, and that it runs a little on the hot side. On a scale of 1 to 10 one being the worst and 10 being the best I would rate my lap top a 8.5, the reason why because it runs hot and I still haven’t figure out how to get the computer to start faster then it is now. If I could figure it out I would give it probably a 9 or so. I would recommend this computer to anyone, but I would warn them about a couple of the downsides.

Yesterday after Graduation we decided to go out to lunch, our friend lives in St. Paul we are in Bloomington area, so we decided Highland park Bakersquare would be the best place to go. We had a party of five. We had asked for a table because I normally do not like booths, they set up a table for us, and we where able to order. Our Waiter did a okay job, but there was clearly a couple of miss-communications. Two of use had ordered Cokes, and one other had order Cherry coke, the cokes tasted flat, so we all switch to lemonades and they where are the same types of lemonades. Our waiter handle everything well. I had order the quish pie shop special, hubby got philly crepes, dad wanted the children meal crusher, but got the appetizer with a side of fries, my nephew got the shrimp unclean oh well it’s him eating not use. My friend got a quish also with the pie shop special.
The quish was interesting it was the first time I have ever had one I had the tomato basil with tomato basil soup. Tomato basil soup is my favorite soup. I had not ate all day because of graduation so Bakersquare was the first time I ate, so I am glad their food was enjoyable. Yesterday was one of those days I didn’t feel I might need to look at diet pills to help me, now maybe hubby might want to think about it because he don’t get enough exercise. My husband didn’t eat all of his philly crepes I probably should have asked him if they tasted good he brought it home so it must not be that bad. Man speaking of him he is still a sleep, and I have completed my share of my learning team assignment and work a couple blog post. I wonder how much piece and quite I get before he wakes up.
When it was time to check out our check out person got all confused, and billing was a mess they got made at out waiter for not asking us if we needed the check on a separate bill. I think it was partially our fault to we knew we needed at least 2 separate checks, because my nephew always puts hubby in I in a position where we have to pay for him. I could have told our waiter.
The next problem was being charged for the fries when we thought dad was getting the children meal. We should have communicated with him dad wanted the children meal more clearly. Overall our experience could have been a little better then it was but it was the worst experience ever.

Wow it still smells good, and it’s been open for a year. I put it in the closet and forgot all about it. I wanted to have a nice small in the living room. So I was looking around and found the pet fresh from Arm&Hammer. I gave it to my nephew and told him to use it. I was surprised it still smelled good, and wasn’t all clumpy. It’s like my rug got a nice little colon cleanser done to it. Today we decided to steam clean it so the carpet now smell differently but that’s okay, in a couple days I will probably use the arm&hammer pet fresh again.
It is very fine and powdery, which can be bad if your asthmatic and can’t breath good, when it in the air. I have a little trouble using it if I do not shake it close to the floor otherwise I have no trouble. The box has lasted me at least 4 vacuuming and I have plenty more lift, it does not take a lot to make the floor smell clean and fresh. I have never liked products where you have to use a lot of it to work, but this seems to do the trick with just a lite coat or a lite sprinkling on the floor.

This weekend my husband and I decided to go and see the Proposal. I could almost relate to the actress except I am American citizen, and didn’t force my husband to marry me for that reason. I related to how accepted she was by the grandma and mother. I was impressed with how clean it was, there was a few parts which were fun but not for a young views. I was surprised at the rating but I guess it was for the nudity in the film.
There was a few part of the movie that were almost tear jerking and a few parts which where very fun. It was a nice change of pace. There was some language in it but nothing which my husband and I found offensive. The Murray Feiss Lighting was great in the movie and the sound was balance out well.
My favorite part of the movie was when she fall into the water, but lets face it if they were really in Alaska fulling in that water she would have froze to death, by the time he got her back home. There are always scenes in movies which you know isn’t going to happen. The least likable character in the movie was the guys father but he was also the most realistic person too.
I would not recommend this as a movie for family with young children, and it really depends on the youth majority level if I want them to watch it. This is a good film for a date night with your husband, or young adults.

I would love to go on a cruise, it’s something hubby and I wanted to do for our honeymoon but that didn’t happen. Lately I have been working very hard to complete college, and take care of hubby’s dad; sometimes I have visit websites which have cruises on, too see if maybe we can save up for a short get away. I would love to get away from home, from school and work.
The perfect cruise would be a place where we can fish, and spend time watching the sea birds fly overhead catching their meals. I would love to be able to see crystal clear water to watch the fish swim by and maybe do some scuba diving at a beginner’s level. I have never been scuba diving but it sure does look fun, and I love seeing animals in their natural habitat.
For nightly entertainment having a quite low stress candle light dinner together with my husband would be great. A dinner where hubby and I could show up when we’re hungry and not worry about making reservation, since we like to run late on dinner. My husband loves to sing, so he would be in heaven if we could do karaoke. The perfect cruise would be my husband and I being simply able to spend time together with neither one of us working on the computer, or with our computers in our lap, but simply paying attention to each other. It would be great to simply be able to spend time with hubby without worrying about what needs to be done next. A Caribbean cruises would help the two of us; take a break and recharge some wore out batteries. There is one place we have found that is where hubby and I can just spend time together and catch fish. I’ve decided to add a picture of me holding small baby fish, having a great time on a dock. One of the few places I love to spend time with him, where it’s just him, I and dad.

Don't worry he went back to grow up.

I am going to wait a couple days to write about my new HDTV. My husband and I decided to look at Ultimate Electronics, they where the ones who had the perfect Tv for us. We look at 2 other places, I was welling to settle for one at another place but it was missing something we felt was important. So we went to ultimate electronics, and it seems their advertising is true, the Tv we got was 5$ lower then at the other place with the same model.
When it’s time to purchase a tv it’s important to work with a person with a lot of knowledge about their products, just like if you’re moving you want an experienced long distance movers. We had a young lady this time, I had a couple of concerns getting this TV, with an power surge protector power supply. My worry was the TV and everything would send out a lot of EMF (Electro Magnitic Field), I am sensitive to this. I have a very hard time driving near electric plants with over head lines, or areas with alot of electrical stuff. It’s unpleasant for the most I ignore it as much as possible. So when we buy new things I want to know how likey is this going to cause me to get up in the middle of the night and throw the breaker off. Yes I do that, and don’t even know I done it. It’s hard to explain what’s going on when it gets to much..
So we asked many questions about the TV, and about if it was energy saving and meet the requirements. We asked questions about what kindof umd cable to get, and everything it took us close to an hour. We ended up with a 32 in Sony Bravia TV. I won’t say what I think yet. We ended up leaving with 1 10 gig umd cable, 1 tv and 1 power supply. We found out something interesting while there, their 4 year service plan is 130 and in 4 years if it doesn’t get used at all then you get back 65$ at the end.
I was very pleased with the customer service we recieved and was once again impressed by how their staff treated us. I would recommend Ultimate Electronics so far everytime I went in there the staff is knowledgeable and welling to help.

Blame the User, Yes Blame me because it was my error. I know a lot of people complain about Vista, but you know I think a lot of it is the user fault. I got a new last weekend, still haven’t wrote about so here it is. My laptop is Toshiba Satellite Pro L305D, I like this one a lot too. Now here my biggest complaint, there is away to much stuff loaded on the desktop and way to much stuff in the start up of the computer, it doesn’t need all that stuff on the computer at the start. This is my biggest complaint nice to know it is easy. The second complaint is it took me forever to get on line tonight at my Uncle house because of my user error. He told me Vista is nothing but headaches, and all computer people he talks to say the samething. Okay I have heard a lot of complaints and been told by several to wait till the new operating system comes out, but I needed a new computer for college, and I couldn’t wait another 6 months for a computer. My old Laptop Toshiba also is close to 4 years old and was running out of memory to handle some of my school work. Not worth it having a computer so slow on simulation that it’s next to impossible to complete a simulation that should only take 1/2 hour.
So off we went to get me a new laptop with Vista because I am not going to spend another 200 for XP no thank you, Ive been using Vista for about a year on my desk top and have had troubles, so I figured get it on the laptop.
So lets see the laptop is great it’s 15.4 inch screen works nice and looks good. It has a built in Cam, okay this isn’t a very good cam, sorry but just don’t like the way any of the pictures look I have taken. It runs nice and fast, the start up of the computer is still alittle slow because I need to stop allowing some programs to run during start up. It runs quickly, I haven’t tried playing a movie yet on it but I will try soon. I have downloaded or watch a couple of things on UTUBE and it worked fairly well.
The keyboard has taken me a little time to get used to, I like it because the keys are a little bigger and easier to find with your hands. Now they have put the delete button in the top right corner of the computer, control and ESC are still in the same place.
The laptop came with a 60 day trial of Microsoft Office Pro, okay I am a home user why do I need Publisher. Maybe I might need it for class I hope I do not regret getting raid of it, but then again it is easy enough to reinstall programs.
The hard drive is 250, internet connection is 802.11b/g wireless. It only took about 25 minutes to make the rescue disk. I am very happy with my computer. So lets see I do not hate Vista, I don’t love it but it’s not hard to use if your used to it.
I do not mind it being in my laptop. I would reccomend this computer to any college student or person who does a lot of traveling. It travels well because it small but not so small it’s hard to see. Maybe I should look at some travel insurance quotes.

My husband and I went back to Skechers this weekend, he wanted a pair of shoes after trying them on. Okay if anyone wants to give me some gift cards I can tell you what I like, Skechers they are the only shoes I will get. I think my husband might have just made himself that way too, it’s all he could talk about on Saturday morning before service was, how he couldn’t wait for his new shoes.
His shoes were old and uncomfortable and he has trouble with his arches, so he wasn’t able to find a pair of boots he also wanted so I got my second pair of shoes yesterday too. He got some nice looking goldish ones and I got the pair which is all white with a little bit of pink. 81/2 my size must be popular because the pair I really wanted wasn’t in stock, so I still with this. I did find another pair I want and I think when dad needs shoes I will take him there and he can get his and I can get the other pair I wanted.
I will say this week their customer service wasn’t great but it wasn’t bad. I would give them an above average but not great. They always have that buy one get the other for half price so hubby and I shared the cost of the shoes in half. Now I am scared to wear my white shoes because they will get dirty quickly and nothing worst then dirty white.
I found a pair of shoes I think would be great for dance at church so maybe I will invest they are good and tight and light weight and might help my food feel better in dance. Lately my arches have been a little tender on some of the steps.
I will give Skechers they are the best shoes I have ever owned and last the longest. They are worth the 65 or more bucks for them.

My husband got me a early Hanukkah present this week. Yes Hanukkah doesn’t start till Sunday but you know how men can be impatient, and want to do it right away. We both needed bluetooth but never could afford it, we had plenty of trade in credits, to get to different one. He started out with the Sony Blue tooth but it was so large it just didn’t stay on my ear, so we went back for the smaller one. This one is not the best fit for me but it will work a lot better then Sony did. I wish Sony would do a smaller version of the blue tooth but oh well, Mad Catz will work well in place of Sony.
I told my husband keep the one he bought for me for his present, and we went back to Gamestop, and got the Mad Catz.
It is a little on the heavy side and the ear piece isn’t exactly flexible. I have small ears, or womanly type ears, this works well for my hear I just like the one that also has the thing that rest inside the ear because it would block out background knows better when your talking to someone. Other wise it works great! it’s better then what I had before which was nothing, so when driving I always had to hold my cellphone to my ear or put it on speaker and still hold it so this will allow me to drive hands free.
We have no wood flooring, so when I am walking around in the apartment I won’t have to worry about people hearing that in the background. Would I recommend this bluetooth, yes for woman or men with small years, it would work good.
Setting it up with the cellphone wasn’t the easiest thing to accomplish but after I figured it out it wasn’t to hard to do.
Overall I would say Mad Catz is a acceptable bluetooth but I wouldn’t say it’s the greatest out there, but it works well.
