This guest post from Doris Dillon

If you are one of those people who really loves to get online and surf around on the internet all night long then you are definitely going to want to check out this website. I was recently online and ran across the site and was really excited about what I found. As it turns out in my state I can shop around for energy rates until I find something that I want to sign up for. In other states this is not always the case but luckily I live in one that allows it. I have lived here for about a year now and never knew that you could do that. I am really kind of irritated at my friends now because I feel like this is something they should have shared with me long ago! The awesome thing bout this site is that you can shop for new rates online and compare them to what you are paying now. I have been telling absolutely everyone I know and even posting it on Facebook just so that everyone can take advantage of this great deal.

Two or three years ago, my husband and I bought a mattress that is very soft. I thought having soft mattress will make me sleep better with no back ache but I’m wrong. The mattress has hole at the center and it hurt my back and my husband back. I do not know what to do for now since the economy is bad. I guess I will hang with it for a while. I hope someday my husband and I can find a good mattress.

On the other hand,I can’t wait to have some veggies planted into my garden. I love gardening and I love eating fresh food. I hope I gonna have a good garden this year. I hope the weather turns good this year like last year.

Ever since we got Wildblue Arizona internet, I have been addicted to Facebook. It is amazing to me how many people I can keep up with. I like to keep up with all of the gossip going on with my friends, and fortunately people love to post their whole lives on Facebook. I love finding out who is dating each other, who is engaged, and who is pregnant. I can even keep up with people that I have not talked to since high school. I had a friend in middle school who moved and I did not keep in touch with her. We found each other on Facebook and we are going to lunch next week. I also have a cousin who I was really close to growing up, but now she lives half way across the country. She has two kids now and I am so glad that I am able to see pictures of them growing up. I probably spend way too much time on Facebook, but I think that is definitely worth it to be kept in the loop.

It' feels like summer today and I spent time with my husband outside. I work at the chicken house and he work at the yard raking leaves using the tractor. It’s been a while that we haven’t been able to do something outside together. Today is such a great day for both of us. The temperature outside feels like summer already. Hmmmmm I can’t wait for summer time. I got a garden and I spread some chicken shit on it so the soil will get more richer. I know that if the soil is richer the plants will grow healthy and faster.

In other part, I am planning to get my drivers license this year. I hope I can do it easy and pass the test. I do not have an idea what will happen ahead but hopefully everything work out right. By the way I post more later until here. Happy New Year all.

I always thought cooking was just a hobby of mine until I got CLEAR Internet at home…then it took on a whole new life. I was cooking one day when I thought to take a picture of what I was doing and post it online – there’s something interesting about food photography to me! Anyway, I did that and one thing led to another and it turned into a blog. I started writing about food and techniques and before I knew it I had about 1000 followers. That 1000 turned into 20,000 and then I got offered a book deal. All of this came from me doing what I love to do in my home kitchen and I can’t believe it, my book goes out to stores next week! My husband says he’s really proud of me and I know my mom is all about the fact that I’m giving away some of her recipes. I think my fans like me not because of the recipes I give out but because of the way I give out tips and tricks.

Last week my husband and I had a lot of fun. We went to my Mom-in law and spent Christmas Party there. There were lots of food and hubby and I enjoy them. We got to see nearly all of the family and I am happy. I love my family and my husband family. I hope this coming vacation of my husband I can visit my family too.

Last Thursday my husband brother and his family visited us. We had a lot of fun too, we had target shooting, playing horse shoe, dancing and many more. I wish they can visit us again. I love having fun with the family than having fun with other people. I know how hard it is to trust other people now. Some people says if you can’t trust your family how much more trusting other people.

In other part, I am playing game online but last week I do not have much time to play. Well, I was glad because having fun with the family is better than playing game online. Today my husband is back to work and I am home alone again. It is kind of cold today and I'm sure it will get more colder as time passes. But hopefully colder weather won’t last long. I look forward for summer season so I can spend most of my time outside. I love gardening and I hope this year I would have a good garden full of vegetable .Until here everyone and Happy New Year. May the New Years bring joy and peace to your home and family. By the way before I end this post I would like you to know that my goal this year for my New Years Resolution is to take my written exam for driving. I haven’t study the book yet but soon I will. I hope I can pass the test then. Wish me good luck guys.

I love my animals but they really wear me out. I don’t know what I was thinking getting such high energy dogs but I feel like all I’m ever doing is chasing them from one room to another trying to get on their leashes or get them in the bath or something. I think my first problem was getting two of them. If I only had one I don’t think he would get as riled up and that would make my life half as difficult. But originally I got two because I didn’t want the one to be sad without a partner so you know, there wasn’t much I could do about it. Anyway, I went to WWW.HOMESECURITYSYSTEM.cOM when I moved to my new place to get an alarm to keep them inside – the older one has been known to open unlocked doors. I know, that’s crazy, but they’re that smart and hyper. Anyway, my kids love having someone to play with but for me it’s more hassle than it’s worth.
