Filed under: Inspiration,Life,photography,Techy,Things I Love,Travel — gardener @ 4:58 am

My alter ego Simply Wizardress has started a new feature which will begin today- at none other than 5 O’ Clock. It’s appropriately called 5 O’ Clock Friday’s and anyone can participate, blogger or non-blogger.

All you need to do is take a picture at 5 O’ Clock today and send it in. Or you can write about it or share it somewhere else and let me know where it is so I can link it. I think it will be fun, and you can read more about it by reading about it at simplywizardress.com.

The more participation the better- so come on’ join in.

Movie Deals

About two weeks ago I received an email from this new company that started up in our area that offered discounted deals for our area. They had a really great deal to receive a movie theater gift certificate good for a 7.50 discount at the movie for only 1.00. Now that was a deal I could really go for. Marcel and I both love the movies and we love home theater seating, so we signed up. A little while ago he brought in the mail and the gift certificates were in the mail. You gotta love it- a trip to the movies for two people for only 2.00. Now that I know the place is legit, I’ll be checking out their other deals.

Sweetie, Your 45 not 15.

Last night Marcel and I were out walking the dog and we came across a group of younger teenage guys who were wearing the latest in what I call urban clothing. Marcel commented that he wouldn’t mind having a pair of the pants that one of the guys was wearing and I laughed, thinking he was joking. Obviously he was not. I had to break it to him gently that he is no longer 15, but instead almost 45 and that as much as I love him, I don’t think the pants are age appropriate for him. Fortunately, he took it pretty well. Men, you just gotta love em.

Concentration Problems

Filed under: Life — gardener @ 4:41 am

This morning I had a really difficult time concentrating on my work because of this really weird nerve pain that decided to appear on the left side of my head yesterday. Sometimes it feels as though someone is poking me with a knife, which is far from a joyful feeling. In fact, I woke up a couple of times during the night last night to this pain.

I’m not sure what it is, but I think it is associated with an inner ear issue since I’m also having problem with some pain in my left ear.

I just hope it ends soon, otherwise looks like I may be making a trip to the doctor in the near future. Marcel thinks it’s the shingles, and all I can say is I pray it isn’t. It isn’t contageous so I can’t imagine.

Gotta Be Connected

Filed under: Life,Techy — gardener @ 4:37 am

For a while now, Marcel and I have been talking about how much we’d love to move to the area where my parents live. It is extremely remote where they are, and the one big argument Marcel has about living there would be that the Internet connection is a ‘dinosaur’ as he calls it. In other words, because the area is so remote the only option is dial up, which as we all know, is not the most reliable connection in the world.

Since I also use the computer for my work, and also to keep connected to friend and family via Facebook and email, I explained to him that a good Internet connection was also important to me and that I felt quite sure that there was something out there we could be happy with when the day came that we make the move. I did a little research and sure enough I found satellite internet service providers, which would offer us not only a stable Internet connection, but also a connection which is at a much higher speed than what we have in our current location. Marcel seemed relieved that he wouldn’t have to go back to the ‘stone ages’, so at least that one little problem is solved when the time comes for us to move. I wish it was tomorrow.
