Eye-Fi Memory Card

Jan

 

Something caught my attention last night. It is something that I started lusting over since:

eye-fi

It is not your ordinary SD card for the camera. It is a storage device that has wireless capability. This means there is no need for USB cables because you can just connect to your computer to upload in your folders AND upload to sharing sites like Flickr and Facebook. Isn’t that neat? I am hoping I can get one by the time my sister comes home for a vacation.

I have been hearing raves about the recent Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. I have not seen it, but I already told the husband to download it for me so I can watch. I am pretty sure i will never have the guts the wear the featured lingerie (I am shy like that, bwahaha) but I can perhaps use some inspiration :) I am actually waiting for the VS undies I ordered from a friend, but those are tamed ones, not the lacey kind of lingerie.

William and Kate: A Royal Love Story

This is my mom’s current read which she got on her birthday. Here is the product description from Amazon:

I put it to William, particularly, that if you find someone you love in life, you must hang on to that love and look after it. . . . You must protect it. —Diana, Princess of Wales

Theirs was destined from the start to be one of the most celebrated unions of the twenty-first century: he, the charismatic prince who would someday be crowned king of England; she, the stunningly beautiful commoner who won his heart. Prince William and Kate Middleton defied all odds to forge a storybook romance amid the scandals, power struggles, tragedies, and general dysfunction that are the hallmarks of Britain’s Royal Family. In the process, they became the most written about, gossiped about, admired, and envied young couple of their generation.

Yet for most of their nearly decade-long affair, William and Kate have remained famously quiet and kept their royal relationship a tantalizing mystery. Now, as their long-anticipated wedding finally approaches, journalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author Christopher Andersen reveals the intimate details of their celebrated courtship and offers a mesmerizing glimpse of the man and wife—and future king and queen—they will become:

· William’s lifelong role as confidant and adviser to his fragile mother, and how it has shaped his relationship with Kate

· The lengths the couple went to to keep their affair secret, from their first days together as university students (when he cheered her on as she modeled racy lingerie at a fashion show)

· William’s romantic conquests before—and during—his decade-long romance with Kate

· The person who was really behind their headline-making breakup—and how Kate won back her prince

· The shocking sex-and-drugs scandals involving Kate’s wild relatives, and how the would-be queen survived them

· The long-troubling influence of William’s substance-abusing aristocrat friends and the depression Kate rescued him from

· Stunning new information on the threats to both their lives, the nightmare scenario that haunts William’s dreams to this day, and their narrow escape from repeating Diana’s fate

· Surprising details on the Queen’s historic plans for William and Kate, which will forever change the face of the monarchy

For many, William and Kate’s union represents an opportunity to recapture the magic—the compelling and complicated legacy—of his beloved mother Diana, Princess of Wales. Part glittering fairy tale, part searing family drama, part political potboiler, part heart-stopping cliff-hanger, theirs is, above all else, an affair to remember.

 

Like mom, I am curious about the celebrated couple. I am actually next in line to read the book. I hope she finishes it soon so i can take a look into the love story.

High Technology

Twitter has become my secret place (at least in my private account). I spend my days there with fellow mommies, wives, and bloggers. I can tell them just about anything and they will understand. Can you believe that I talk to them more often then friends I gained IRL (versus online life). One night, I guess we were all having a bad night that we decided to have some online fun. We sang to our hearts’ content sans karaoke machines! It was nice pretending we were in the same room, yet even if it was just pretention, I felt their presence that night. I must say it was one of the most fun nights I’ve had in months!

Technology does this to you. Imagination is limitless! :)
