The Enjoyment of Netflix

For those of you that do not know I am a total movie lover. Netflix of course has them all, I can stream movies and get a DVD if I so choose. I think that I love the Netflix movies so much simply because I am lazy and would much rather sit at home to watch as many movies as I want for 9.95 a month then to drive to the theater, pay a sitter, and twelve dollars to see the stupid thing. So anyway, sitting at home with a $500 movie machine (PS3) to stream movies and the 10 bucks each month is a blessing in disguise I suppose. Plus, I get to watch all of those HBO and Showtime series that I refuse to purchase on my satellite program because I am also what some would call cheap. ($15 bucks a month just for HBO? That is just ridiculous.)

I said all of that just to tell you this. I have found two new shows that I like to watch (with the kids in bed of course, this IS HBO, soft porn I guess you could call it.) True Blood and the other show is Dexter (not so much porn in that show.)

So, go get yourself a PS3 and a Netflix subscription and chill at the house with me. OH and if you do not have a PS3 but are looking for a Blue Ray player for the HDTV you have at the house. Look no further, the PS3 also plays Blue Rays and regular DVDs. The best investment we have made all year.

New Netbook

I got my new netbook yesterday, I am totally excited. I finally got it all setup and ready to rock and roll with blogging and writing my novel. (Apparently, I have been writing this book for about four years and haven't gotten past chapter one. I am not THAT good of a writer, or maybe the story line isn't that great. One day I will post a preview of it and you can tell me what you think.) So, updates to come out soon!

The terrible thing is...

I am a bad blogger. We have been so very busy, yet not really, for the longest time that I can't even remember the last time I put a post out. Since I work on a computer all day long the last thing I want to do is come home to a computer (or a phone for that matter. Customer Service SUCKS!)

Jim was fired from his FIRST job in over 30 years yesterday. It was a new experience for him so he is at home playing video games and enjoying the first week off. Wait until I get ahold of him next week with about an inch long stack of "Honey do" list papers. Just because he doesn't have a paid job doesn't mean that he can skip out on work. I would have to say that THIS is the perfect revenge for me being in Virginia, working full time, going to school full time, and taking care of three kids, all by myself with Jim in Iraq playing war games. Now he gets to experience the real stay-at-home Dad experience, "I'm hungry. I have to pee. The dog pooped on the floor. She has my toy. She pulled my hair".

I promise to catch you guys all up on our family in the next couple of days.
