Found out we're pregnant

Thanks to Lemuel Craft

My husband and I are going to be parents!! We have been trying for a very long time and were starting to think we were never going to have a child. However, last week we found out we will be proud parents in a little less than nine months. My first reaction was excitement. I do not think I have been so excited in my entire life. Then the paranoia set in. The house was not ready for a baby. There were too many sharp edges. There were too many breakable items. We needed to make the house as secure as possible. I even decided I wanted Kansas City adt SECURITY. I started wondering if I was suitable to be a mother. I honestly started to doubt everything. I am guessing it was the hormones or the realization that something big was about to happen. Either way, I was a mess. I felt like I needed someone to slap me to bring me back to reality. However, my husband did something even better. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and then held me. He assured me we would do it all together and everything would be fine and I believe him.

Me and Him

Contributed by Johnny Graves

My husband and I have both vowed to lose a little weight and it’s been quite a challenge! I’m really glad I’ve got a partner in this though and he really helps keep me accountable when it comes to eating right and making sure I exercise. I love how dedicated he is even when I’m not and I rely on him totally to help keep us on track. He got us direc4u satellite tv and we’ve been waching some of the work out programs together and I’ve been making a special effort to prepare us meals that are both healthy and delicious. I know it’s been a lot of fun cooking more than ever and I think my husband appreciates coming home to a real dinner instead of some take out boxes! I’m really in this thing to lose it and I know he is too so we’ll have to see in a few months when we weigh how well the whole thing actually worked. Cross your fingers and toes for us and our weight loss!

Desktop Computer

What kind of computer do you own? There are dozens of choices when it comes to selecting and buying a computer that works best for you. Not only that you have to decide between desktop computers and laptops or the notebooks, but you will also need to find out which one has the features that will greatly suit your needs. With the rapid change of technology these days, the choices are more larger and can be little difficult.

It is not long ago when not so many people would even consider the use of notebooks as their main computers. That is because when laptops are compared with desktops, they did not posses a much RAM, evidently smalle and had less than the crisp displays compared to desktops. Laptops then did not have the cool features like DVD players and the multiple USB ports.

But these days, the LCD monitors of notebook displays are brighter, and there exist the use of multiple ports which helps hooking up with printers easily. It is no longer important to even worry that the software will fall short and overload the hard drive or the performance will slow down because laptops now have bigger hard drives and greater RAM. However, laptops are still not the more powerful and better for everyone. For most people, especially those who work from home and regularly use a computer, still want a computer desktop since it has bigger displays, the traditional keyboards that most people are used to and the mice. Not to mention the more versatility or extra usage that the desktops offers (burn a DVD, extra USB ports, use of webcam, greater resolution LCD monitor, maybe surround audio speaker too.)

Prior to you making a decision on buying computers, it is important to understand what is available in the market, what type of functioning program you would like, and which characteristics are important for you. Whenever you do, you'll realize that you are paying for only what you'll need, and can finish up owning the laptop desktop that's ideal for you as well as your household.

Feels Like Home

Guest post written by Joseph Finch

When my son and I moved into this new house a few months back I knew I had to do something to make him feel more at home. He was really missing his friends back in Akron and because of my new job he was home a lot by himself after school but I didn’t really have a choice. I went to http://EXPERTSATELLITE.COM and found a good satellite plan for us and my son’s been having a ball watching movies on TV before I get home. He’s always said he wanted to do something with film and I think he’d be great at it so it’s nice to see him spending his time studying some of the great old classics. I know he gets a kick out of it and it’s better than him being out and about running amok in the neighborhood so it’s fine by me! He seems to be getting used to it here and hopefully it won’t be long before he totally feels at home in our new place. I know I’m starting to!

The Job

Contribution by Archie Watts.

"The Job" is one of my favorite episodes from "The Office" and easily the best season finale the show has ever produced. The circumstances surrounding the episode involve a job being offered at corporate headquarters that Michael, Jim and Karen, among others, are vying for. The position offered (regional manager) is actually the one held by Michael's girlfriend, Jan, causing a commotion when Michael reveals this fact to her. This plot line wasn't as interesting as the two moments that resulted from it. The first being Jim rejecting both the job and breaking up with Karen in order to be with Pam who had been the object of his affection since the very beginning. I thought Jenna Fischer really did a good job acting out Pam's reacti! on to having Jim return to the branch and asking her out on a date. The second moment was more of the "Where did that come from?" variety when we found out that the temp, Ryan, somehow gets the job.

For me, the funniest parts of this episode is when Michael appoints Dwight his successor and he proceeds to reign over the branch with Pam as his secret assistant. I loved the part in the meeting where Dwight winks at her when Pam makes a suggestion that was really Dwight's idea. I've seen this episode at least five times on satellite TV from Cannonsatellite.com and it never gets old.
