I got my new computer and while the touch pad works much better on this one than the Toshiba, the web camera on this one is worse than the other. It&#8217;s a Gateway. Why is it SO dang difficult for companies to make a computer that works?!<\/p>\n<p>No time to go there so&#8230; moving on.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s not any mind-blowing information on the vlog, but check it out and I&#8217;ll include the text version below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NML-u0eqNJA\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve noticed from the comments on Tiffany&#8217;s blog that many people are having a great holiday relaxing and spending time with their families. But then Tiffany mentioned how many folks have written about the issues they&#8217;ve had this year. I understand that some years are worse than others and you just want to skip the holidays all together and just regroup for the next year in hopes that it will be better. Just remember that you have people, especially those in Tiffany&#8217;s community, who care.<\/p>\n<p>I spent nearly 3 days cooking&#8230;homemade lasagna and chicken &amp; matzoh ball soup from a recipe that an old Jewish friend had shown me how to cook. All of it turned out great and I&#8217;m not really a great cook to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been getting my outsource stuff together and thinking about what the best direction is going to be for me for 2013. I spent a lot of this year trying out different things to see what interest me and, while it&#8217;s made me feel unfocused, it&#8217;s been useful in learning what I do and don&#8217;t want to do.<\/p>\n<p>I really appreciate things like Tiffany having posted her &#8220;to do&#8221; list as it comes together because those are the things I&#8217;m working on doing. With the limited time I have, it&#8217;s always good for me to have a list like that to keep me focused.<\/p>\n<p>I put out a few shout-outs to some of you and I just don&#8217;t care much for the webcam and how it records at all. It&#8217;s a grainy square-looking recording that just distorts things while it records. Back to my smart phone for a bit maybe&#8230;.hmmm.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I hope you all have a Happy and safe New Year and, as I say in my vlog&#8230; If you have to choose between the two be more safe than happy!! I should have another vlog out here before we head back out. Our weekends are usually Monday\/Tuesday so you guys will have me on a different schedule than the Sunday check-in.<\/p>\n<p>Until then&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well I recorded this on the 28th and then forgot to create a post to put it in!
