I think I need a new computer

by

I think sometime in the new year I might be looking for a new computer. Actually, I’ll be looking for new laptop to be specific. My laptop has been acting up lately.

My laptop is getting slow and while I’m working on it I can hear (and feel!) the DVD drive working … sometimes the dvd/cd holder pops open on it’s own without me hitting any buttons at all. I’ve checked the computer many times recently for viruses or malware and I can’t find anything wrong with it. It just seems to be acting up.

It is four years old after all!

I’m going to be in the Ottawa area in the new year and while I’m there I might visit a friend in Quebec … maybe I’ll do a little ordis (computer) shopping while I’m there. LOL No matter where I am, there’s almost always some amazing sales at the beginning of the year as stores sell off their old and or excess inventory.





My husband helps with the cleaning – sometimes

by

Does your husband help around the house? Mine does.

I know … I might be quite lucky.

Chris was home this past Monday and he really helped me out by doing a lot of vacuuming. He vacuumed the whole house, plus he vacuumed the duct work – well as far as he could reach into each air register.

All the vacuuming started when he noticed how much dust was on the fan blades of one of our ceiling fans so he pulled out the vacuum so he could get the dust off more easily and the rest of the cleaning just naturally followed.

The house is so much cleaner after all the work my husband did too .. especially now that the duct work is clean!

So … does your husband ever help out around the house? Does he clean?

It’s been ages since I made a cake

by

I was just saying on my main blog how I’ve been on a baking spree lately.

I haven’t really baked deserts in ages. I used to make lots of breads, and pastries but I haven’t done anything like that for at least five years and it’s been ages since I made a cake. So it came as quite a surprise this past Sunday when I found myself making a Chocolate Zucchini Bundt cake!

It turned out fantastic. I actually don’t think I’ve made a cake since i was in my teens! I turned it out on a plate and glazed it .. man it looked and tasted fantastic. I should have gotten out one of digital cameras to take a picture but by the time I was glazing it it was about midnight … and I was so tired!

My husband and I tried the cake after dinner on Monday night and this evening. I think i should cut it in half and freeze the rest … honestly … we shouldn’t be eating cake every night- even if it’s just a thin slice.

Thyroid problems?

by

I’m so tired this week. Yesterday and earlier today I almost fell asleep in the afternoon. I mean, just nodding off. I haven’t been this tired during the day or even all day long in ages!

Actually I think there might be something wrong with my thyroid. Well .. I know there’s something wrong with my thyroid, I only have half of mine left, but I think what’s left isn’t working right anymore. I have tumors in my remaining thyroid and I take thyroid hormone to keep them from growing, but I think I’m going hypothyroid.

I can’t tolerate being cold. When I go outside lately – even when it’s above zero – I feel like my hands are frozen or like they’re thawing out. Even if I was only outside for a few minutes.

so I have cold intolerance, tiredness, oh and remember I said that I lost weight in September … well I seem to have gained half of it back. Grrrr. Maybe I should be reading some fat burner reviews instead of worrying about my thyroid. LOL

Since it’s getting colder outside and I literally can’t stand the cold I’m going to ask my doctor to test my thyroid levels the next time I see her. I have an appointment in two weeks so that’s not too long to wait. If I continue to be extremely tired though I’ll see if I can get into see her earlier.

My happy puppy

by

My dog is extremely happy this evening. Last weekend when we were at the pet store we bought her one of those huge bones – I think they’re called Mammoth bones and we just gave it to her.

Midnight is lying on her dog bed happily eating away at the bone. she stands up every once in a while to scrape parts of the bone with her paw. I think she’s trying to scrape off some of the tissue that’s still on the bone. I’m sure within an hour she’ll have any tissue and baked on flavor off the bone.

I love seeing her so happy. Every once in a while her tail just starts wagging as she gnaws on the bone. Yep – she’s one happy puppy!
