I think littleQ is going to be a big computer geek, just like Mommy!  If happen to be on my laptop (and only when I’m on my laptop) he always go for the other computer’s wireless keyboard.  He likes to press and slap the keyboard, and in between hitting it, he looks at the lcd monitor, I guess to see if he’s actually doing anything, lol.

There’s such a thing as those baby activity keyboards that plug into the CPU and use special software.. isn’t there?  I’ve been meaning to research it, but just haven’t..

Even though it’s still the middle of November, I’ve been thinking about the new year coming up, and I do have plans for 2007.

I’m looking at getting into direct sales, but I won’t tell which product/product lines I’m looking into.  I’m still just really gathering information, but my research is leading me to seriously consider it.

littleQ is turning 1 in February, so I have to start planning his birthday party.  Ahhh I’m such a mess though when it comes to planning social events!  My mind gets all muddled and pooped out so quickly.  Hmm… I had wanted to have his party at a petting zoo I worked at as a childrens’ party hostess when I was a sophomore in high school, but then I realized that he might not yet be old enough to actually appreciate it, so it would be better to wait until he’s about 5 or 6 to have his birthday party there.

As I was thinking about it though, I just had to laugh at myself.  When I worked at that petting zoo, the other party hostesses and I always though it was so unnecessary to have a child’s first birthday party there for the following reasons: 1) More often than not, the baby does not care that he/she is riding on a pony and may not even be awake during the 1 1/2 hour party, and 2) Usually, parents of children this age who had the parties there would have no one else to invite but the baby’s 10 year old cousins who are “too cool” for baby llamas and piglets, seeing as the birthday baby will most likely not yet have had the chance to form any friendships with the other babies at the playground and all.

I don’t know.  Maybe I’ll still have his birthday party at the petting zoo.  Unlike some silly parents who pay for a 12-child party and invite five ten year olds to their one year old’s birthday, I actually do have relatives and family friends with preschool age children (and a little younger, and a little older), who would definitely appreciate the venue.

Well that was a long ramble…

I also plan on really starting on a path to a healthier me.  I’m starting… now… kinda… Well anyway, that’s definitely on my list of resolutions.

2007… it’s coming up soon…

I can’t believe it, the semester’s almost done.  Kinda…

Time really flies.

P.S. - I don’t like EZ-pass.  They like to constantly increase the auto-charge on my credit card without first notifying me of the impending increase.

VOIP service, while both innovative and affordable, really leaves much to be desired.  Both of the VOIP telephone services we use (from two different companies) in our house consistently suck.  From dropped calls, to lags, to random outages for no other reason than because “it’s not perfect” (<— the actual explanation given to us by one of these companies), our VOIP service really annoys me sometimes.  Considering we all have cell phones, such poopie service almost makes me want to not even have a landline at all.

Is it just me, or does it seem that the Christmas season begins earlier and earlier each year?

Or has it always been that stores such as Target get decked out in all their holiday season glory beginning the day after Halloween?  Hmm.

Last year at this time, I was still pregnant.  Now, my little boy is nine months old!  Time goes by so fast.. it really does seem like just a few weeks ago, I had tears flowing down my cheeks as I looked into my littleQ’s face for the first time.

It’s his first Christmas (well, obviously, lol) this year, so I’m going to find him a little baby Santa suit, hehe.

If you don’t like, well you don’t ever have to come back here, right? LOL. Yeah, you know, that 15 bucks from PayPerPost paid for like two days worth of gas for my car.

Ladies, if you still get your eyebrows waxed, I suggest you try to find an Indian-run beauty salon somewhere and try getting your brows threaded. Personally, I think that getting your brows threaded not only results in cleaner, sleeker, sexier looking brows, but there’s little to no risk of getting injured compared to getting your eyebrows waxed. Some would say that the initial pain is greater (because the tiny little hairs are essentially just being plucked out in quick succession), but I personally say NO, because a layer of that sensitive skin isn’t being ripped off at the same time (like it is during an eyebrow wax)

Seriously! Once a couple of years ago, this girl burned the skin on my eyebrow area because the wax she used was way too HOT. The areas right under my eyebrows turned into these gross scabs, but within a week and a half you wouldn’t even know that it had happened, because the scabs came off and didn’t leave any scarring or marks. If it did, boy oh boy I would have sued her maladroit, incompetent butt.

But anyway, Ladies, that’s why, if it’s feasible for you to do so, you should at least try getting your eyebrows threaded instead of your next regular waxing. Yeah. Well, I think it’s worth it. Plus, in my experience, getting your eyebrows threaded is always a few dollars less expensive than getting them waxed, and with better results.
