The official trailer came out tonight and after reading the complete Twilight Saga I have to say after watching this trailer I am uber excited for his movie. So excited that my friends and my sister have already made plans to go see it on the day that it comes out and of course fight it out with teenage girls to go. So check it out the official trailer to New Moon, it looks awesome!

I have started and quit or had to stop college for one reason or another 3 times since I graduated high school and during this time I have had 3 different majors.  Well I have just finished getting all of my information back in and am determined to go and not quit until I am finished.  I have decided by the time I go register that I will have a major chosen and will stick to that until I complete school this time around.  I feel like it is time for me to step up and finish.  Because of the age of my kids and everything going on I feel like this is the time for me to get in their get done and finally have what I feel like will be a career for me.  Right now I am torn between Elementary Education, Graphic Design, and Computer Information Systems.  Now I just need to figure out which one I would really like to do more and stick with it.  Look forward to alot of debating in the near future to be written about.

Looking for hosting for your website or blog is a very important task. Finding things like enough space, bandwith and of course reliability are very important things when finding a hosting provider. Like myself and most of readers would look for a host that is good for hosting blogs and has the preferable blogging platform available to the blogger. Web Hosting Geeks provides an abundance of information about webhosting for those looking for a host to fit their needs. They have ratings for different hosts and shows what they are good at as well as their overall features.

Some of the reviews even award different hosts with being title “best blog hosting”, “best forum hosting”, and even “best email hosting” to name a few of the awards given out to different web hosts.  A lot of different information is available by the folks at Web Hosting Geeks so much so that they even have their own blog area where information such as “How to Choose the Best Web Hosting Service” is available to get information for finding a host.  I would suggest using a site  such as this to help find a hosting provider that will work for your needs, because I could just imagine the headache if you were to have to move your website from one host to another.  This way you can start with one that fits your needs.

I just completed my first week of the 30 Day Challenge on EA Sports Active. And it looks like I have lost around 2 lbs maybe I need to log on to my Wii Fit to tell for sure. So far I am really loving it. I have done all of the “scheduled” workouts so far and even created a few custom workouts of my my own to burn some extra calories. I am really enjoying the cardio boxing with the balance board, also the dancing is fun and I am thinking I am only enjoying the running because its a new toy.

There is one exercise that I am not for sure of the name but it is sort of a lunge where you jump and lunge the other leg, something like that. I almost cried when I saw the how to video on this and just couldn’t help but think “are they out of their minds?” Well I am glad to say I did it with some struggle on my part but it was worth it to see my 6 year old trying to do it along with me. But I think he was trying to be silly more than anything while doing it.

I even already met the preset goals on burning calories and so many workouts in so many days that I have set my own. I am really excited about it and trying to reach those to meet my goals for my body! I will definitely be updating next week on how it is going for me!

Last Friday while I was working my computer decided to crash, and it wasn’t one of those crashes where you just restart and all is good. The computer literally would not stop back up and I was getting the log on screen over and over again no matter what way I told it to start. Well I ended up having to redo everything on it, lost a bunch of stuff I wish I hadn’t luckily I had either uploaded a lot of things or my kids dad had copies of the files. So after a very long week I have most of everything up and running and the computer is definitely running tons better than before. I feel so bad because I had lost stuff I shouldn’t and if I had just used my external hard drive I would have lost stuff. As my ex pointed out that is what we got it for!

Renting movies is a big part of our lives I think just this week we have rented 5 when the movies came out as New Releases on Tuesday. I used to have a huge membership at an online rental service but had to cancel because of personal things going on. But movie watching is a big thing here and we spend a couple of nights a week watching movies. I have been thinking about renting from BLOCKBUSTER because of of the ease of renting and returning movies. I have experience with the mail service but because Blockbuster has a local store and if I forget to return through the mail I can always go to the local store and return and rent there for quick service.

Whats neat about Blockbuster is that you can rent new releases and even Blu-ray disks without paying extra for getting blu-ray.  They have several different plans to choose from for your movie viewing habits.  I am actually signing up to try it out because of the selection of movies that I can choose from and the fact that I do have a local store to pick up and drop off from if I choose not to mail them in.

I just got the EA Sports Active on Tuesday on its release date and am so excited about getting started with it. Yeah I know I should have started already but I had company Tuesday when it came and yesterday too. So today I am going to get started on it when I get awake enough, yeah I kind of slept till noon today, can you blame me the kids were at school and I was off today. So my plan is to get started this afternoon and get everything set up and start on the 30 day challenge. I plan on updating about it and hope I get some tone and loose some and I can stick with it. Because honestly I have not done very well at sticking to any work out plans ever, just ask my poor Wii Fit that I use once a month.

wish me luck!

The weekend is coming up and I am at a loss as to what we can do.  It will just most likely be the boys and I hanging around the house.  Maybe we can fix something together to snack on like pizza or something.  The weekend before last the boys and I made homemade pizza ate a few piecies and then put the rest in the fridge to eat cold.  I know kind makes you want to wrinkle your nose but its what we like.  I also told them we would pick up the next box set of Naruto that we need for them to watch.  So that adds to something so I guess we aren’t at a total loss we have things we can do and plenty of games to play on the Wii so there are things to do.  Well I hope we don’t get bored.

Protecting your home is very important because your home contains very important things such as your family and items important to you and your family.  I remember once when I was younger we had heard noises like someone was trying to get into my home.  It was a scary situation and we were afraid luckily at the time they heard us or probably our dog and did not actually get in.  But I have heard of other people getting broken into and understand that it is so violating and I know that I would just hate that feeling.

I feel like right now in my life a wireless security system would be ideal for my home especially considering my living situation.  The Silver GE Security System package sounds the most ideal for us.  It covers just the right amount of entry points, it has a talking control panel, battery back up, an internal siren and a door chime.  Those are just some of the features it carries as well as monitoring for only 34.95 a month.  There are different packages to choose from based on what all you would need covered and different features and right now if you call 877-470-2751 you will receive 2 key chain remotes with your order, which would come in handy for example when your arms are full and such.  It is really something to look into because protecting your family is worth it.

Well my dogs puppies are now a month old and in a couple of weeks I am going to start trying to find them homes, well except for two of them. I did agree that Wes and Hal could each keep a puppy. Wes kept a little boy that he named Pakkun and Hal is keeping a little girl who happens to be the runt and named her Sakura. They each picked the names off of the anime Naruto that they have been watching quite a bit the last year.
