Need technical support here in San Antonio?

I had to get data pulled from my scrambled hard drive. My new Sony Vaio laptop had some defective parts and before I sent back the broken hard drive, I wanted to try to recover whatever I could (if anything at all). After calling several places and getting high dollar quotes, I found James on Google maps in my phone. He's the Affordable Computer Expert. Not only did he have the cheapest quote, he was the most informative and polite person I spoke to. He worked hard to get as much as possible from my hard drive, even more than I had hoped. He answered all my questions and kept me informed about every step of the process. I refer him to all my San Antonio friends and will only trust him to handle any future system/hardware issues I have. If you need anything computer-wise or even if you have questions, I highly suggest you use his services. I don't think you will be disappointed at all. He works from his home office, but also makes some business calls.

While you were sleeping....

Cups to make,diapers to change,
little boys wanting to strip and run naked...
While you were sleeping.
Dishes to wash,
laundry to finish,
things to organize and move...
While you were sleeping.
Floors will be cleaned,
counters will sparkle,
toys moved out of the way...
While you were sleeping.
I'll feed the boys,
prepare them for bed,
after I finish their schooling...
While you were sleeping.
Check the mail,
take out the trash,
and finally have your meal ready...
While you were sleeping.
Does it end there?
No.
Your lunch will be sitting, ready to grab and go.
All the things you need for work, will I set out...
While you were sleeping.
And if I have time,
I'll lay out your work clothes...
While you were sleeping.

Buddy Valastro "Cake Boss" comes to San Antonio!

Okay, so I know this is late since it happened back on November 12 of this year... But I figured writing about Buddy come to San Antonio might be fun and interesting. So here goes...
I love watching the TLC show, Cake Boss. Its so much fun! All those yummy cakes, the hilarity of his daily life in New Jersey, and the wide variety of customers that come seeking a special order cake. So when I heard he was coming to San Antonio for a book signing, you can bet I just had to meet him!
He actually came to the HEB that my husband works at off 1604/Blanco. I showed up with my kiddos and met my husband in the line they had. Word spreads fast when a celebrity comes to town, as was evident by the very long line. The book signing was supposed to last an hour or two starting at noon. He came in with his wife and kids and the crowd went absolutely wild. They had a great system set up. Everyone opened their books to the title page and was instructed not to spout of their life story so that the line would flow through smoothly and quickly. After he signed each book, he would pause to say thanks and have a picture taken with each person or group that came up.
Then after moving on from meeting Buddy, we got to have his wife sign the book and get a picture with her as well. Both of them were so sweet. I still love the show and the fact that its one thing I can still enjoy watching with my family. And having met him was truly a wonderful thing!

My first blog

Okay, so after much encouragement and prodding, I've decided to start a blog. I can't say this is going to be the best ever or that many people are going to bother reading it. But.... here goes!
I'm currently a mother of two boys. I spend my days taking care of them. I also enjoy reading and writing. I often help my friends with editing their English papers since my English skills are awesome. I'm a nerd and quite proud of it. English, history and learning are things that I can spend hours doing.
I'm fluent in American Sign Language. Coupons and meal planning are a must though I'm not an extremist at either. And even though I'm all grown up, the kid part of me that refuses to grow up still enjoys creating with Legos >.<
I think that's enough of an introduction for now. I'll close by saying, I hope this blog is informative and fun for everyone. Until I write again....
