Over this last summer the A/C in our Accord went out and when we drove it this summer we were hot especially since we live in Texas and it is very important to have an A/C in the car, I thought that we were going to melt this last summer. We are lucky that our Chevrolet AC Compressor works but we are shopping around for one for the Accord, I found Discount AC parts online and I suggest checking them out since they  offer free shipping and a complete line of auto ac parts.  Since it gets hot here pretty quick in the year we are looking to get our ac compressor replaced pretty quick to beat the heat.

So today while I am working the doorbell rings so obviously it is no one we know because they people that normally come by don’t ring the bell.  Well Jason runs to answer the door real quick and its a neighbor from a house down from us.  She asks him if she can use the phone and phone book because she doesn’t have one and her sewage is going crazy down there or something like that.  Well anyway all that is said and done and they start talking and she introduces herself and all that and Jason is all like “Yeah if you need anything just come by (that normal crap), but please next time just knock, don’t ring the bell, Sharon works from home.”  So of course she is like “Cool, what does she do?” and Jason tells her “She does tech support for this internet provider”  and she says “Well I work at home too, I am a phone sex operator.”  He said that from there the conversation just went way awkward and he wasn’t sure what to say.

So when he told me after she left I just started laughing, I mean it is cool and all if you do that.  But do you just tell your neighbors that you just met?  I told some of the ladies I work with in our YM conference and we are heavily weighing the pros and cons of this and wondering if we could make more doing that.

Oh well I thought it was funny

Since I work at home and am not able to watch TV while taking calls becaue then it would be too hard to concentrate, I listen to music.  I have to build one in iTunes because playing streaming music just does not work with VOIP on my computer and the music would go over my headset and that wouldn’t be cool for my customer who may not like some of my music, so it goes through my pc speakers high enough for me to hear but just low enough my callers can’t.  I call being able to listen to my own music one of the perks of working at home, because at my last job in a call center some of the ladies nearby wanted to always play country music in their area and thats fine and all if you like it.  But I wanted to curl up and die!

Here is a taste of some of my list:

Complete albums:

1. Paramore – Riot
2. Avenged Sevenfold – Avenged Sevenfold
3. Katy Perry – One of the Boys
4. Avenged Sevenfold – City of Evil
5. The Pierces – Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge
6. Evanescence – Fallen
7. Cascada – Everytime we Touch
8. Twilight – Original Soundtrack
9. Christina Aguilera – Keeps gettin’ better (A decade of hits)
10. Fall Out Boy – Infinity on high
11. Britney Spears – Circus
12. My Chemical Romance – The Black Parade
13. My Chemical Romance – Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge
14. Fall Out Boy – Folie à deux

I also have a bunch of single songs on the list but there are just too many to list right now.  I think my list is kind of funny because I have everything from Pop, Dance, Alternative, and Emo. I just went through an Avenged Sevenfold phase still listening to them like crazy but am mostly replaying a lot of the My Chemical Romance right now. If you never listened to some of those I suggest trying them out, may not be your cup of tea but at least you tried something new, right?

One of my Christmas gifts was a new digital camera, because I did not like sharing the only we previously had because everytime I looked for it, it was no where to be found.  So I picked out the Kodak EasyShare C813, it isn’t the fanciest camera out there but it works for me and I really like its features it has 8.2 mp and has a lot of different features for taking pictures such as black and white and sepia and also has video capture as well.  And most of all I like my particular one because it is pink!  The last couple of posts with pictures were taken with it.

I mentioned in my last post my boy getting a new pair of glasses.  Well they came in today and I think they are adorable.  I really like the blue metallic color of them.  Here they are on him and the puppy err dog now Cortana is with him, and you also can’t miss his missing top front tooth that just adds to the adorableness of it all.

We pretty much spent our Saturday doing not much of anything, I had no work today so about the only thing I did on the computer is do quite a few of Entrecard drops for the lovely blog here, and also dwell on what in the world I could post about.  It is funny that I get ideas all of the time when I am no where near the computer but when I am finally in front of the computer I can’t think of a thing and I could vaguely remember wanting to store something in the back of my memory to write about.  But I think that I have solved that problem because I am going to carry a notepad in my bag with me so that I can write down ideas when they come to me.

Anyway back to our Saturday it was just so slow that the highlight was taking Wes and Hal to McDonald’s for icecream and letting them play in the play area for a bit.  I even got quite a few pictures taken of them playing and stuff though one son loves the camera:

  And the other not so much this is the best I could get out of him, the others were mostly his back running from me:
  And I am not sure if I had posted any previous pics of him and his glasses, but here he is without because his pair got broken and I am waiting for the new ones to come in. I really gotta post a pic of him with those he is adorable with them whether or not he wants his pic taken, but I am mommy so therefor just a whole lot biased.

Everyday this week I have actually made an effort and broke out the Wii Fit and worked out.  I have mostly been doing the running and the step aerobics.  The aerobics have to be thing that I am most addicted to on the system but one thing just totally irks me about it.  I am working really hard at it and getting all of these perfects on my steps which gets me a high score, what more could you like working out while getting points? Anyway this evening I am working out and I got a score of 301 points and am pumped up because its like 20 points higher than my last top score.  Well next round I go into it and am so intent on breaking my 301 that I screw up so bad and get a score of 250, over 50 points less than my previous score.  It drives me crazy I have noticed that I score really high and in my excitement fumble up the next round.  No more being excited about scores for me, or atleast I am keeping them to myself very silently so I don’t mess up.

Wish me luck with getting in shape please!

 I would like to take the time out and wish everyone a Happy New Year and wishes for an awesome 2009.  With that being said it is resolution time, and I hope that everyone has come up with theirs and that they can stick with them.  I think that this year I am going to treat my resolutions as a wish meaning that if I tell anyone that they will not come true, but that still does not mean that I will not work hard to achieve them.  Though honestly they are typical things that people usually resolve to do or accomplish.  With that again have a Happy New Year and good luck with those resolutions, and if you would like to tell yours just drop a comment.
