I thought I would post a list of the simple gadgets that I can’t live with out.

1. Jump Drive - I have a 1 gig Kingston jump drive, that I keep all my precious files on, like class projects, my schedule and even my resume. It’s so much easier to carry around a jump drive than it is to lug my laptop around. I even keep portable programs installed on it, like Portable Openoffice to work on my documents and Portable Gimp to edit images.
2. Video Camera - My brother Joe and my brother-in-law got Kevin and I a Samsung Digital Video camcorder. I haven’t used it much yet, but it comes in handy when you have a new baby to take lots of movies of.
3. Digital Camera - I have an Olympus IR-300. I take it everywhere and take pictures of everything. I even keep a mini tripod in my purse.
4. Cell Phone - I am addicted to my phone. I have the Sanyo Katana from Sprint. I have a lot of fun uploading background images, screen savers and programs to it. I have Bejeweled Multiplayer that let’s me play against other people on my phone, and Telenav GPS installed (Who needs a Tom-Tom when you’ve got this?). One good site I frequent is www.ringerpost.com, which is a forum that shows you how to upload files to your phone for free. And, it’s pink!!!
5. Laptop - If it wasn’t for my Gateway laptop, I wouldn’t be able to geekout, surf or blog. I enjoy Sunday afternoons geeking out at Atlanta Bread Co. and mooching off their free Wifi. I’ve been known to spend 6 hours there at a time.

I guess this is my top 5, I would like to hear from everyone else now. What items can you not live without?

I decided since we are bringing in a new year, that I would bring y’all a new design. Tell me what you think about it and let me know if you see any issues with it. This will be a work in progress and BTW, I already know the photo album isn’t working. Hope everyone is having a Happy New Year.

Just want to tell everyone Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Holidays!

I am trying to upload new pictures I took last week when we took Alexander to the aquarium for the first time. Since this thing is only letting me upload 1 image at a time, instead of 10 like it is supposed to. I don’t have all day to sit here. I have a final to study for. Awwww, how sad. My last aviation course at Georgia State. O well, I will get over it. I have 4 classes left at GSU till I graduate. Go enjoy the photos now. I will upload more later. Click on Alex to go see them.

Everything has been going great with the baby. Alexander is growing up so fast already, he has grown out of some of his onsies. He has to be over 10 pounds by now. He smiles and coos a lot now. I have been taking so many pictures and have been uploading them to my photo album. I have a few little movie clips that I will have to upload soon. So, go check them out, I will keep uploading more soon. Thats it for now, baby is crying…

Sorry for taking so long to post this but, it has been a long week. This past Friday, I gave birth to my son, Alexander Riley. He is my little cuddle bunny! He was born at 5:46 pm, September 22nd. He weighed 7 pounds and measured 18.5 inches long. Most of the pictures my husband took for me are uploaded.

I am 4 days overdue now. I went for a checkup yesterday and had another sonogram. They were checking the well being of the baby and the amniotic fluid. Everything looks great, just waiting for those contractions to really start. Kevin went with me, and we got to see the baby’s face this time. (Check back later for pics) Have to go back tomorrow for an NST. After that, they will have to schedule me for an induction. Maybe he will be born tomorrow night or Friday. I will keep y’all posted.

Oh, and BTW, that eggplant thing, no workie! Went to Provino’s on Friday and ordered the eggplant parmigana. The waitress asked if I had signed up for the baby club, and I gave her this strange look like, “Oh, you’re on to my eggplant plan!” Ate my eggplant and signed up after dinner. They write your name in a book and start the time for 48 hours. If I had the baby within 48 hours, I would have gotten $25 gift card and a tee shirt for the baby. Maybe I should go back tonight and start the clock again.

Well, today is my baby’s due date, but he doesn’t want to come out and play. You think he would be ready to go by now, he has been very busy in my belly. I will let y’all know if something happens later tonight. He has one hour left.

I went to the doctor yesterday and everything checked out fine with the baby, just waiting for those contractions to start. My due date is this Saturday, and the doctor said if I go over my due date, I will have to have a sonogram on Tuesday and an NST to check amniotic fluid and baby’s well being on Thursday. If nothing happens by then, they will schedule an induction. Now, I am thinking about posting an eviction notice for the baby. Baby has till Saturday! I am ready to test the eggplant theory out.
