I love notebooks. You know, the kind that you actually write in. There is one particular notebook I bought sometime back in 2005 that was perfect size, I loved the paper texture, and the different colored paper inside. Since then I hadn’t been able to find that type of notebook since. Well, until now.

Kokuyo Brilliantes had the notebooks in stock, the only catch is I had to pay in bulk. No problem there, I’m pretty sure I will use them all up in about 6 months. I write everything down no matter what it is. It helps me remember things, I know right where to go to get important information that I had forgotten about, I use it to write down idea’s, thoughts, you name it.

Currently I have the pink one, but when you buy it bulk all three colors are included in the package. I love the colors, and I just love these notebooks. Yay for the internet!

This change in weather has been kicking my ass. This morning I was so sore and stiff. The pain lately has been a lot worse too, especially in my legs. My feet have been swelling up all weekend too so I’m trying to keep them propped up as much as possible. I have the just-got-run-over-by-a-mac-truck feeling today and lately.

I found a web site Friday night that streams the police scanner at Scan Cobb. When I was growing up my Father was a fireman and we always had a police scanner playing 24/7. I used to have a mobil scanner, but I don’t anymore so it was exciting that they actually stream this stuff. It makes me feel like my Grandma Reba who still has her scanner going all the time.

Tomorrow is my husband and I’s 2nd year anniversary. It’s amazing.

When I came home from work on Friday I did the usual. Got out my Macbook Pro and set it up on my desk (I take it to and from work everyday, it’s constantly with me) and I turned on the TV to see if there would be anything good on. Sometimes I just like having the TV on for background noise. I switched over from Comcast to AT&T U-Verse a few months ago forever bidding farewell to an ISP who had shown me time and time again how horrible they were yet I felt like I didn’t have a choice since they were the only ISP available who had the speeds I wanted.

Anyway, with the plan we got a DVR which we put in our living room. The only time my husband and I watch TV in the living room is when the DVR recorded a show that we both like, or if we have company. I usually watch TV in my home office otherwise. So on Friday I noticed that I had a few new options on my menu screen then I usually do, and one of them was “Watch Recorded TV” .. I just have a regular cable box in my home office, but to my surprise and excitement I was able to pull what we have on the DVR and watch it! This was very exciting for me, and another reason why we went with AT&T U-Verse.

Now, I didn’t have all the options that I would had I been in the living room watching the TV with the actual DVR attached to it. I couldn’t delete shows from my home office like I could in the living room, which really isn’t a big deal. So now I’m looking for more shows that only “I” want to watch and record on the DVR since I have access to it now.

I don’t regret ever switching. I’ve hated Comcast for the last 8 years I was a Comcast customer. I’ve gotten horrible customer service from them and at at least 3 different locations I had a lot of problems with Comcast dropping signal. Very annoying. So, dear Comcast, I’m so happy that I will never have you in my home again
