Life According to Steven

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.

One of the things that I do not really understand sometimes is why you would send a guy to do a girls job. Now, I do not want to start a fight or anything, but just bear with me for a minute to get to my story.

You see, my wife sent me out to go buy some infant boy clothing for a present for her best friend Jill and her new baby. I was told to get something that a guy would like, so that is exactly what I did.

I guess I picked the wrong thing.

My wife had the most disgusted look that I had ever seen when she opened the bag which was not a good sign. I am now banned from buying baby clothing ever again. It is too bad really as I had thought that I made a good choice.

I do not know why I have been having a problem lately, but currently, I have been having problems sleeping. It is getting to the point where it is becoming a problem, and I really need to do something about it. But I have never had any experience with sleeplessness before, so I need to do some research.

Alright, it seems that I have a case of insomnia and there are many potential causes and methods that you can get insomnia relief. I am looking for a solution that does not use drugs, so hopefully I can find something.

Though not an instant solution, I am going to try yoga. I could stand to lose a little weight as well, so it should help, whether or not it helps to put me to sleep.

Speaking of sleep, I should head to bed right now as I need to try and get a good night in here as I have a long day of work tomorrow, so wish me luck.

It has been a really long time since I have updated the blog and I am sorry.

It has been a couple of busy weeks with the kids in sports and it seems that we are out every night. By the tie we get home I am too tired to do anything else.

And I am too tired to write!

It will be nice to get back to our regular routine in a couple weeks once sports are over and I can get back to writing regularly.

So check back and I will do my best to put something up.

One of the things that I have had problems with in my life is that I have never really had too many friends.

Now don’t get me wrong – it isn’t because I am not friend material, but rather because I work up north, mostly in isolation.  So, there is little opportunity to make friends, and that is my excuse.

So, I have turned to the Internet in hopes of finding some people that would be able to help me out when I need a hand, and be my friends even though I may never meet them in person.

So, you will find a lot of talk about things happening in my life right here – feel free to jump into the conversation by leaving a comment.

Thanks
