It has been a few years since I got a new computer (*sniff*) and I am truly itching to get a new one! My laptop is awesome, it is white, my favorite brand..but it is almost 4 years old I think! The battery won't hold up very long, so it has to be constantly plugged in. The thing that bothers me the most though, is that I believe that the screen is starting to go out. I have a weird line that changes colors and also comes and goes...and changes size every time the computer is on! Sometimes it is there, sometimes it isn't! Other than that it has held up very well, with not problems. I am almost afraid to say that, because it is almost like you put it out there, that there aren't any problems..and BAM here comes something to totally screw it up! I have several things that I consider before I buy any type of computer (and believe me I have had my share over the years, several laptops, 2 netbooks and 2 desktops) If things go well I will be updating mine in the near future … [Read more...]

Waiting on fedex(story of my life) and other early morning Rambles
Greetings from a very tired gal, who is expecting a fedex package that I have to show ID for, and usually every time i get wine via feddex they come at like 8 a.m! So..I didn't feel like trying to go back to sleep just to get woke up by them! Of course i normally dont make it back to sleep until 8 a.m. anyways unless I sleep staight through! I guess I might aa well try! My luck though they won't show up till like 4 p.m and I will even miss my nap! UGH I am hoping that doesn't happen! Of course I woke up at around 3:45 and never really got back to sleep..Oh the joys of insomnia! You should know right? ha ha Yesterday I was all about cleaning up in our extra bedroom. I am sure I have mentioned it before, but I am wanting to do it up in there so I can have a workspace. I honestly do not accomplish as much as I should and a lot of it has to do with getting distracted by watching tv while I am working! It doesnt mix all that great! I can generally do o.k. if I am just simply … [Read more...]
Review: Thumbs Up Wine App
So it is NOT a secret that I am a wine lover! I mean the hard stuff is o.k. and beer is alright, but...wine that is my favorite! I am also the type of person who does like to stick to what I know, but every now and then I get a wild hair and want to be adventurous and try something different. The thing is...it is kind of hit and miss on whether or not I actually like something or not! I am sure that most people feel the same way! This is where we enter Nichole's new little best friend: A handy dandy app that I got the chance to do a review on called "Thumbs up wine app" You can get it on android, or IOS. The app is broke into three basic sections, In Store Search, Browse, and My Wine. I am going to do my best to walk you through each section and break it down and explain the functions! In Store search: You have the option to pick "why" you are drinking! You have several options to choose from Just sippin' and even gift options. After you decide this, you can tell it … [Read more...]
#BeSociety #30daysofpics Day 09- Picture of the last item you purchased
The last item we purchased was the TV and apple Tv box for the upstairs! I took a pic, but it didn't look all that great :( I was happy to get a new tv up there, I just wish we would have got one a tad bigger. You all can take a minute and laugh at me because David got a top loading DVD and I am so short I cannot reach it! I am going to have to get a step stool and take up there and hope I don't fall. I mean it is me. I miss one step on our stairs and bam broke right ankle. I go out in the snow in crocks to TAKE PICTURES like I didn't live in Boone for 2 years and BAM here comes a broke left ankle.. heck broke isn't even the word for it.. 6 months later it is still not happy! As far as the Apple tv goes, I was never really sold on one until I found out that you can mirror your ipad screen and basically watch ANYTHING You want! Now we want one for downstairs! … [Read more...]
#BESociety #30daysofpics Day 08-A song to match your mood
Now Honestly how the heck do you do a picture for this post? A video perhaps, but a pic? HA! Really though I have not been in a music mood in the last few days at all! I either really want to listen to music or I totally hate it. The only thing I can think of I have even listened to a little bit of is the Sons Of Anarchy Songs Of Anarchy soundtrack. I like the songs Forever young, John the Revelator and House of the Rising Son (the version from the season 4 finale) Yup. That is pretty much all I have to say on that note! … [Read more...]
