Just a little bit more Christmas shopping to do

by

I’m planning to go shopping this weekend for the last of the Christmas gifts that I need to buy.

I didn’t buy too many gifts this year. We don’t have any extra money, but of course we still have to get a few gifts for the kids in the family at least. I was thinking that one of my nephews might like an iPod. I already checked and he doesn’t have one yet, so it would be the perfect gift. I spent some time earlier today reading an ipod shuffle review and I’m pretty sure that I’ll get him an iPod Shuffle.

Now that I think of it the iPod and maybe just a few DVD’s or Video games and I should be finished all my shopping. If I’m lucky perhaps my shopping trip this weekend will only take an hour or so.

Don’t you hate pop up attacks on your computer

by

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.

Waiting for a house guest

by

Don’t you hate waiting for a house guest when you don’t know when they are going to arrive or even if they are coming at all?

That’s what I’m doing right now. Late last night we got a call from my husbands mother asking if our nephew could stay over this evening. He’s been doing extra work on a TV series being filmed here in Toronto and sometimes the work runs until late in the evening and then he has an early call the next morning. Since he lives out of town it makes sense for him to stay in the city if he can.

So .. we said yes … but it’s 8:30 pm and we haven’t heard from him yet, so I don’t know if he’s coming or not. Maybe his casting call for tomorrow morning has been canceled so for all I know he might be on his way home right now.

I hope he shows up. We cooked extra food for him. Plus, the last time he was here he told us about a friend of his that has really bad acne, so I spent some time looking for the best acne treatment and printed out some info for him to take to his friend. If he ever arrives I can give him the information.

I guess I’ll have to wait and see if we have a house guest tonight or not. Hopefully he at least gives us a call.

Even boys care about their skin

by

A while back I wrote about how my nephew has been having a lot of trouble with acne.

He’s a teenager and he plays hockey … maybe every day. He has NHL dreams and he’s good enough that they might just come true. However all that sweating doesn’t seem to be doing his skin any good .. or it wasn’t a few months ago.

Since I’m a nurse he decided to ask me about what he could do to clear up his skin and I gave him some advice and suggested an acne treatment. He started following some of my suggestions and I’m pleased to say that his skin has really cleared up.

He still has a little bit of acne, but nothing like he used to have. He’s such a handsome boy. I’m so glad that I was able to help him. He’s also more confident now – or seems to be – now that his skin looks better. I think his acne was really getting him down and making him self conscious.
