Did You Know About Finding the Perfect Box?

Did you know about finding the perfect box ?

I love the Seinfeld bit about looking for the perfect box, and when you finally find it, they put you in it! I have this thing about hanging on to the perfect box, just in case I need it. My husband finally said I had to throw away all the perfect boxes out in the garage. He asked why I had them anyway. From time to time when I sell stuff on ebay, I don't want to have to hunt around for the perfect shipping box and I certainly don't want to have to buy one! But for now, we have a clean garage...

Did You Know the Pit Helps Keep Avocado Dip Fresh?

Did you know the pit helps keep avocado dip fresh?

I love fresh guacamole. Whenever I have any left I put it in the fridge where it invariably turns brown on top. I usually stir it and finish it anyway. But yesterday I remembered to try a trick I had heard many times. I always put in lemon juice but this time I remembered to put the pit back into the dip. When I took it out of the fridge today, it was still a bright, fresh green!

Did You Know People Still Out of Work?

Did you know people still out of work?

I have known several people out of work this year. Being out of work during the holidays can bring added stress to this time of year. I know many continue the job search-from a Boston job search to an LA job search-is seems that people all over are still looking for work. Hopefully the new year will bring a change for the good for all those looking for work.

Did You Know We Are Training by Time?

Did you know we are training by time ?

In training for our triathlon, my husband got a training schedule which has us training by time instead of distance. In some ways this is almost freeing. I don't have to worry about marking out routes, figuring out mileage or counting laps. We just swim/bike/run til our time is up! The times vary and increase but so far, I think I like it!

Did You Know I Got A New Computer?

Did you know I got a new computer?

We have been talking about getting a new one all year, but just kept putting it off. So the other day my husband kicked me out of the house while he set up a birthday surprise for me. When I came home I had a new desk and iMac computer! (Then we had to finish cleaning and rearranging rooms to make everything fit right!) I also get a class to help me learn the Mac and have them transfer all the stuff from the old PC to the Mac. I don't think I need everything from the old computer on here, but at least I will be able to have my pictures and bookmarks that I like! My kids love the new Mac, especially the wireless mouse! I think I will too. It is really really nice. A bit overwhelming at first, but a pretty cool birthday present!!
