TECH LIFESTYLE!

My laptop is giving out, freezing up and having all sorts of malfunctions. She's an old girl in the life of tech. At six years she's practically an antique.

So I'm looking into getting a new gadget. Laptop or desktop? Those used to be the only two choices. The first is portable and convenient but not very powerful unless you're willing to spend a LOT of money. The second is cumbersome and you can't really use it to watch movies in bed very well...

Or can you?

With developments like "all in ones" and bluetooth keyboards possibilities have opened up.






But this isn't just about watching my favorite shows, with the winter months coming I like to stay curled up under the covers for as long as possible, but UGH work?! If you're like me you probably have an income source that allows you to work from home some of the time or perhaps even all the time.


Work means you need more than just a good dictionary to set your "all-in-one" on as you juggle keyboard and mouse unless of course, you have an amazing all in one trackpad ten-key combo, but if that's not you or you were pressed for cash or perhaps are just thrifty so instead of getting the "all-in-one" supercomputer you went with a desktop mini




For those of us who want not just the luxury of staying bed but also the convenience and organization of our desk, I present to you the option of having it all!

For the standard laptop users, who know better than to both eat and spill soup in bed there are these fine options.



But if you are a disorganized clumsy mess who likes food, your computer, and your notes all within reach I have a few suggestions that might keep you from electrocuting yourself and from spilling delicious hot coffee on those pricey electronics. Something on the side of the bed for your edibles and something that rolls out of the way when you need to jump out of bed and throw on a robe to answer the door so that "all-in-one" doesn't become an "all-in-pieces."





Of course, maybe you need something even more powerful than a mini or an all in one, maybe you are rendering 3D images, or doing intense video editing. For those of you who are super tech savvy and need that extra boost of power but still want to work from bed, my previous suggestions still stand, just keep your tower on the floor and get yourself extra-long monitor cables.




Thanks for reading! May you enjoy some wonderful laziness with puppy cuddles working from home!

P.S. If you need to do some holiday shopping clicking on any of the links supports my writing and is deeply appreciated!

No Greater Love

In my marriage, I grew cold and distant, I was dark emptiness taking up a small space. When the marriage inevitably ended, I was left wondering if I was capable of love at all. Wondering if my coldness led to the death of something great for many people. Since then I've tried a few tepid attempts at love, with each trial showing me new errors. People say, "You just haven't met the right person yet," but that isn't true. Relationships fail not because there is some mystical magical right person out there for each of us but rather because we are human and being human means failing sometimes. (Of course, just because there is no "right one" that doesn't mean there aren't wrong ones. There are after all a few truly terrible people mucking about in the world but these are the exceptions, not the rule.) I am currently a failure at relationships, but with each failure, I learn and grow, and eventually, I will be a fantastic success at one relati...

The Wonders Of Finding A CF Partner

Finally dating a man who is childfree. Before this I'd only dated one other who was childfree but that relationship didn't last long. I now get why the childfree community is all about only dating other childfree people. I feel truly accepted by my significant other. I get the whole being on the same page thing. It isn't just being child free though, we're both non religious, highly into psychology and self development, and good with money. However the childfree aspect specifically has brought to light many areas of fulfillment my previous relationships were missing. I feel secure in the relationship at a level I never have. Once my husband left for another woman because he knocked her up... I didn't feel like I was enough. In this relationship, I feel powerful. I don't question my choices, i.e. wondering how much I should sacrifice to make my partner happy and what compromises I should make. I feel accepted as a woman. He doesn't question if I have maternal...

Does a Matching 401K compare with the benefits of MLM?

 When you retire what will you remember the most? After my first retirement from MLM, my fondest memories were accidentally giving an entire third world village shoes, knowing we dropped $50,000 like it was spare change to get brain surgery for a DL's mother, it was the reuniting of brothers and it was life flighting special formula in to save a newborn for the child of a grocery store attendant in Costa Rica. Would I trade all that for a 401K?  Not in a hundred years. The power of network marketing isn't in the giant paychecks but in the community. It is a culture of self development, a culture of friendship, a culture of helping others. I have been so blessed to make friends all over the country. Ben Newcomb drove 5 hours one way to help me when Alex's vehicle broke down on our way back from picking up his abducted daughter. When I was pregnant Rhonda Hines sent tea for my nausea. Thousands offered me incredible emotional support throughout my ten year divorce from David ...
