A Bird in the Hand....

...is worth 500 GB in the bush.  Or something like that.

I got an external hard drive finally.  It was one of Amazon's lightening deals yesterday.  Plus with my Prime membership it was shipped two-day delivery for free.  And I suppose that since I ordered it early enough in the day, yesterday counted as one of the two shipping days.  I was shocked when the UPS guy knocked on my door this afternoon.

And excited.  I love new toys.

Here it is! 500 GB in the palm of my hand.


I've been on  the verge of a completely full memory on my laptop for some time now.  I have a 136 GB hard drive in this thing, with an additional 14 GB of "Backup/Restore" storage.  For a grand total of 150 GB.  But I've had less than a half gig left for over three months.  So every time I take pictures and want to put them on my laptop I have to go back through old albums and delete pictures and/or videos I don't think I really need to keep.

So now, I don't have to do that anymore.

Plus, once I get it all backed up onto the external drive, I can delete them off my laptop and clean it up a bit more to hopefully get it running smooth again.

Hooray.

Anywho.  Baby news, she's eating food from a spoon now.  After the pediatrician gave us the go-ahead last week at her four month check-up we decided to give it a go.

So Sunday we started her on solids with a few spoonfuls of Organic Carrots.  She wasn't a fan at all.

But she's coming around.  It took her 5 feedings over three days to finish the itty bitty jar of carrots.  Today we opened a jar of Organic Peas.  She seems to like them more, but I think it is the consistency making all the difference.  We're about to have helping number two of the peas, I'll try to snap a shot of her with them to share. 

Update :
She loves peas apparently! This is her essentially saying "more".

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome"

Open Forum

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything. Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog. I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Don't Panic

It's just a facelift. I was tired of the orange and green swirly background. I'm not sure I like this one but it's gonna have to do until I find something more suitable. Sorry.
