Life According to Steven

I have decided that I will buy my brother a birthday present this year but I do not know what to get him. He is hard to shop for and unfortunately, I do not have any idea as to what to get him.

Thanks to his wife, I now have an idea of what to buy. She suggested that I get him some Ebonite bowling balls as he loves bowling. I am hoping that I can find some online as it will be much easier. I just hope he likes them.

I am worried that when I use a public computer that someone could get my passwords and steal my identity. I make sure just to check my email and I never try to access my bank account or other sensitive information while I am not at home.

When I asked the guy in the IT department at work what I should do, he suggested that I try to use a freeproxywebsite while I am using a public computer online. I am going to try out the one that he recommended to me, and hopefully no one ever steals my identity.

Lately, I have been having troubles reading the paper and pretty much everything else. This is not only embarassing, but it a sign that I am getting old, and that makes me very sad.

I spend my money on a pair of scojo reading glasses to help with my vision. It sure is nice to read again, and it looks like I will be using these reading glasses for awhile. Sure beats being blind.

Sometimes my daughter confuses me. Most of the time, her actions are just not what I think they will be. In fact, sometimes I get a little confused by who she is, but I love her just the same.

A good example would be her selection of music today on our trip to soccer. I told her that we could listen to music on the way so she brought her MP3 player along. Imagine my surprise when I heard a song by Merle Haggard could follow a rock and roll song by Nickelback. Her choices were not related, but I guess it was just a reflection of her chaotic nature.

Though I am not really handy, I do still try once in awhile to build something. Usually if I do build something, it does not turn out like it should, but nevertheless, I feel that by making an effort that I am not giving up on building something someday.

Well, I have decided that I am going to try and build my own shed, so I have been looking for some free shed blueprint so that I have step by step instructions on how to make one.

I will have to get my kids to help since I am not too good with the computer either. Though I do not know how it is going to turn out, I will try to post some progress updates here on the blog once I get going. Wish me luck.
