Don’t you hate pop up attacks on your computer

by The Diva

My nephew is visiting this evening. He comes into Toronto a few days each week to do Extra work on movies and TV series etc and sometimes when he has back to back work he’ll stay over at our house for the night.

Usually he joins us for dinner and then sits with us watching TV in the evening. Of course both he and I have our Laptops in front of us as we work on our computers and watch TV at the same time. LOL

I don’t know what website he was on tonight but all of a sudden he said “Whoa!” His computer must have had a pop up attack. You know when you get a pop up from a web site (even if you have your browser set to no popups) and then you go and close the popup and another one and and another one opens up until you just have to shut down your computer?

Everything was popping up on his computer from ads for games and download sites to the best male enhancement products LOL.

I don’t know why that happens. I mean, he has anti-virus software on his computer.

What a great view

by The Diva

Earlier today I wrote a post on my other blog about how I was enjoying some eye candy just outside my house.

It was kind of funny to be able to see some great looking guys working just outside my door. They happened to be putting in an interlocking brick walkway for my neighbors and let me tell you – they worked hard – all day!

The only turn off was that one of them, or at least only one that I noticed happened to have acne on chest so that wasn’t so nice. But hey … it was a hot summer and working out side and sweating probably isn’t the best for the skin so I’ll give the guy a break. He still had a nice face.

Do you ever have people working out side your home? Construction workers or perhaps some people putting a new roof on your neighbors house?

I need to start a new fitness routine

by The Diva

Every time I look over at our TV stand I see our Wii. I hate to admit it, but I haven’t used my Wii in ages!

I think it’s been four or five months since I played a game or did a cardio workout on my Wii.

Later this evening I’m going to make up a mini workout schedule. I’m still sick (Crohn’s, Migraines, back pain) so I can’t get too ambitious, but I know that if I continue to not do anything I’ll probably feel worse and worse.

So … if I at least make a plan to get out and take a long walk, with the dog, at least twice a week, and to pull out the Wii and do one or two of my favorite workouts like the Gold Gyms Cardio Boxing twice a week as well I’ll be on my way to better health. At the very least I won’t feel compelled to research belly fat burners because four low level to medium level workouts a week should at least maintain my weight if not take off a few pounds. Certainly it should tone my muscles.

I also have an elliptical machine upstairs in a spare bedroom gathering dust. Actually my husband currently has two of his guitars resting on it right now. If I can start doing some workouts – hopefully beginning this week, maybe, by the time the bad weather arrives in November or December, I’ll be ready to start using the elliptical again.

Do you workout at home or at a fitness club regularly? Do you use a Wii to get your body moving? Tell me what you do to try to stay fit.

We haven’t been to a concert in ages!

by The Diva

I just realized that my husband and I haven’t been out to see a concert in a long time. I believe it’s been at least three years since we’ve been to a concert and the last one we went to was at a small to medium sized venue – not one of those huge stadium concerts.

Considering that my husband is a musician (he plays 13 instruments) and I enjoy a wide variety of music genres I’m surprised we’ve gone this long without going to at least a small outdoor concert.

I’m going to see what bands are touring Toronto this Fall and then if there are any bands that my husband and I both enjoy I think I’ll try to purchase some concert tickets. Hey, we have to treat ourselves every now and then, don’t we?

Do you still go to concerts? If you do, who are your favorite bands or musicians?

A lazy weekend

by The Diva

We’re just having a lazy weekend. We’ve been so busy over the last couple of weeks- traveling and having visitors stay over … it’s nice to try and have a quite weekend.

I say try … because it didn’t exactly work out that way. My husband wanted his cousin (who’s a manager at a Mercedes dealership) to check out our car so earlier this afternoon we took a drive out to his house and let him take the car out for a drive on the highway. Oh and we also took a trip to Costco while we were at it.

Our car got a passing grade from my husbands cousin. It handles well and he couldn’t find any problems with it. Good news!

When we first arrived at Costco I thought it was a mistake going there on a Saturday … we had to line up with our cart just to get in! I thought about looking for the nearest exit signs once I got in there it was so crowded! However, once we started shopping (I headed to the pharmacy first while they went to get some food) it went fast and when we were finished there was hardly anyone in line at the cash registers so I think we were in and out of Costco in half an hour. It might have been our fastest visit yet!

So far we have no plans for tomorrow and I like it that way. I think I’m going to sleep in and then maybe later in the day we’ll watch some movies. Like I said – it’s a lazy weekend!

What are you up to this weekend?
