Towers

There's been a lot of chats and a lot of debate of whether or not having a cell tower nearby your place of residence is a bad thing. Some places opt to by one because it's usually cheaper to buy a place there or there getting some source of income. I know that my husband made it pretty clear that if were going to buy a palce, it wouldn't be near one of these things.

But yet we place so much emphasis on our cell phones these days. These things have to be built to keep up with capacity and demands. And there are limited places to put these damn things? But I guess with anything, as long as it's NIMBY (not in my back yard), then it's ok.

Whatever happened to simpler times?

Watches

In this day and age, I find it amazing that people still wear watches. On your computer screen, on the phone, on the tv, on the microwave, on the oven stove top...you get the idea, there's the time. But I guess that there is a certain suaveness to wearing a watch still. There are some Technomarine watches that are pretty sexy. And I just think it's fun that you can accessorize them to match your outfits these days. Now, if I had some outfits that warranted getting a watch to match....

Words of Love

My youngest is really starting to blossom. Real big personality, cute as a bug, and really has a big heart. And though sometimes she whines and drives me crazy, it's when she says the sweetest things that I can't stop loving this kid.

As you know, I take her to the office every morning with me. And one morning she just said, "Mommy, I love you very much and I love you everyday." Then she just proceeded to kiss and hug me. All without prompting.

And the other morning, when she was at the office with me, she wanted to write a little note for her sister. Yep, lots of scribbles. But I asked her what she wrote to her sister. "I love you everyday. You're the bestest sister ever." She was so proud of the note. She gave it to her sister that night and read it to her too.

Sweet as could be.

Clubs

I like the idea of a certain club per month. I like the idea of book clubs but gosh, finding the time to read and then actually remembering it is difficult at times. I seem to do better with magazines...quick flips, pretty pictures and pure brain candy. There are the card stamping things. Nope...love the idea, but really, I can barely make it out to grocery shop.

Then, I saw an ad for a wine of the month. Huh. That's got potential. But I don't drink wine. Quite sad really as I see many folks get joy out of this.

I think the only club I want to join right now is the one that lets you have peace and quiet, and a full night of sleep without interruptions. I'm sure I'd be very good at that club.

Computers

I have a laptop at work as there are times I need to take the thing somewhere to do some work, see an employer, etc. But when in the world were they called a notebook computer? Laptop makes sense to me. It sits on your lap...and on top of it. When I think notebook, I think of scribbling pads, sounds of paper being ripped out because the person didn't like what they wrote. Why do we always try to invent new words for something? Seriously...how many synonyms do we need these days? I'm sure a geek will set me straight....

Singing

My kids are constantly singing. And sometimes, it's just too much. To me, it's the constant noise. But on most days, it's quite fun to listen to.

So, yesterday, like any other day, my kids were singing. The youngest was much louder. My husband and I were on our computers while they had some time to play. Out of nowhere, my youngest sings about "the story of my life....la, la, la." What the hell is a 3 year old singing about her life? Well, it didn't end up being such a long song. Guess there is only so much to sing about when you're 3.

Reading

I try to read when I can. But it gets busy around here. When I do get a chance, I think it's wonderful. Books are really amazing things. And reading in itself is such a gift.

It's the one thing that I've always tried to have my children love. Thankfully, they do love learning and reading.

My eldest loves books. Her reading ability is quite good. It's so good that she's reading to the older kids at her daycare again. LOL!

I hope this love of reading continues with her all life long. It really is a wonderful thing....
