My Prodigy Niece

Xevia — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 09:17:09 +0000

My niece has a small keyboard and she has actually taken to it quite well over the past couple of years. I believe that the keyboard was bought as a toy, but she has learned how to play different songs on it. I was talking to her mom about possibly going in on a dave smith keyboard for her for her birthday this year. I think that she has real potential just from hearing what she does on her little toy keyboard. This kid has shows she makes us watch, so I think it would be a gift she would truly love.

A Great Indoor Pool, Just Too Cold

Xevia — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 09:14:07 +0000

My uncle has a pool and he just ended up building a room around it. It is not an actual part of the house, but he made it into part of the house. The room is not really warm, but the pool is not freezing over. I think that he still needs to get a raypak heat pump for the pool so that the water is warmer than it is right now. The room itself is not that bad, but I think because the pool is underground it stays a lot cooler than the rest of the room.

So Many Kinds Of Cigars

When I decided to find a few nice cigars for my father’s birthday this year, I had no idea how many different kinds there are to choose from. I ended up doing some research about the different varieties that are available and it really seems like one of those things that it really depends on the person as to what kind they will like the best. I decided to go with a davidoff for him and maybe one other one, and then if he really likes them I’ll stick with that kind from now on.

My Outdoor Furniture

Xevia — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 09:08:53 +0000

I always end up complaining in summer that I do not have any kind of outdoor furniture. I think that this year I am going to solve the problem early and shop in winter for all of my summer needs. I want to get 2 folding picnic tables, a gazebo type thing, and some kind of fire bowl. I want to be able to have a lot of people over in summer and they all need somewhere to sit outside. I love having barbeques, but we always end up coming back inside because there is nowhere to sit!

My Allergies

Xevia — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 09:06:03 +0000

I have been doing a lot of research about allergy information lately because I have some kind of allergy to something here in my house. My throat swells up a lot, but not to where I cannot breathe but it is still very alarming. I know that I have allergies when the seasons change, and I have really bad sinus problems, but this is something completely different. I would like to find out what it is and how I can treat the problem because it just scares me that my breathing will become difficult.

Fingers Are Freezing

Xevia — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 09:04:26 +0000

I do not think that I am the only one out there that gets really cold fingers during winter while on the computer. I was just thinking about what a splendid idea it would be to have some kind of warmer for your hands built into the keyboard. I figure it is because my fingers get cold anyways, but they are always up and out on the keyboard which makes the circulation even worse than normal. I have thought about wearing gloves, but that would just make typing hard and since I type a lot it would get annoying really quickly. Any suggestions? Do you all get cold fingers too?

RV: Retirement Vacations (And Recreational Vehicles)

Xevia — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 14:08:09 +0000

My parents have been driving truck over the road for about 4 years now. They say that when they finally get to retire they want to get an RV so they can drive across the country without having to find truck areas to park to go see attractions. My mom was in Las Vegas last week, and she cannot just drive the semi around so she had to park somewhere and have a taxi come and pick her up. Vegas is one place that you can actually find somewhere sort of close, but there are a lot of attractions that you cannot even get near with a truck. I told her that she should start shopping for her RV now and check out an rv insurance quote so she will know how much they are going to have to expect to spend monthly to follow through with their plan. I really think it will be neat if they go through with all of that because then we can come visit them when they are visiting cool places.

Over The Holidays

Xevia — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 14:05:07 +0000

This holiday season was a crazy one - that is for sure. I was so excited that I was going to get to see my family I forgot a bunch of things that I was going to buy and I ended up having to go shopping the day before Christmas Eve. I remember why I always make sure to get my shopping done early now. My brother is still here for another couple of days, and it is always great to see him. I had him come over one night and we just watched movies all night and had some good laughs. I am glad that the holidays are over, but I do already miss my family being home.

It’s My Birthday …. I Have To Pay You?!

Xevia — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 09:14:40 +0000

My birthday was about a week ago now, and of course the state says Happy Birthday by making you renew your tags for your vehicles. I decided that it was about time that I start doing some research on different types of insurance for my cars, because I feel like I am paying a lot for the coverage that I actually have. I have found some promising rates that will be a lot better than what I am paying now, and the coverage is better as well.

Slacker Radio Rocks

Xevia — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 09:12:45 +0000

So I decided to finally try out some internet radio. I ended up signing up for Slacker radio and it has some really good music on it. I found a channel called "Great Songs You Forgot" and at about the third song I had to add this station to my favorites. I heard Warren G's Regulate and then Fantastic Voyage by Coolio and I was sold on this channel. I recommend checking out this internet radio if you haven't yet because it is cool, even if you just do the free version like I do!
