My Ford Family Road Trip

Here is the beautiful truck that the wonderful people at Ford Canada let us drive to Florida. What a fantastic vehicle to drive for hours in. It has so many bells and whistles....so many that I can't wait to show you pictures and tell you all about them in the next few posts.

More Bliss for 2012

So another year has passed and another year has begun. Some things have changed and yet some things have not. I remember starting off the year last year writing about working smarter, not harder. I am not sure that I was very successful at it but it is always a work in progress for me. How about you? This year I am not making any specific resolutions but am pledging to live a more blissful life...in every aspect of my life. Sometimes that can be hard for me. I can see the positive in most things but I think I am like many people and sometimes listen to that little negative whisper in my head. I need to stop doing that. I am really embracing the idea of the power of a positive thought and the power of the law of attraction. It is really important that I believe the universe will bring me everything I want, all I need to do is put it out there. I have seen a lot of good things come my way late last year and I know that 2012 will continue to bring me everything that I want in my life and for my life Everyday I will see what is blissful in my life. Today...it is blissful to have a few minutes to myself while my daughter is in dance class. What is bringing you bliss right now?

Search for the Toshiba Tablet for ShesConnected

As part of the Toshiba Ambassador Program  for Sheconnected. I set out to get my hands on a Toshiba Tablet. I wanted to see what it was really like when I held it in my hands. That was a hard task. I went out with my 8 year old daughter - who was my cameraperson for the videos - to see if we could did manage to hold  one in our  hands but we could not actually get it to work. Our first stop was Best Buy. It did feel good in my hands and I did like the position of the buttons. It was a nice size. I can see the kids and I watching movies and playing games on this tablet.

It is pretty to look at. It fit nicely in my hand but the sales associate couldn't get the screen to come on.

Not a bad price.

Lots of products in stock at Best Buy.

So we did check things out at Future Shop. This time we couldn't even hold it. There was not a single Toshiba Tablet on display.

So disappointing. There was no Toshiba Tablet on display.

 

Some of the features that I do like.....from Toshiba

Android

Powered by Android 3.2™, Honeycomb, this tablet delivers an easy-to-use interface with more customizable features. Enjoy a variety of apps available from the Android Market™, plus a full suite of familiar Google apps, such as Gmail, Google Books, Google Maps, Google Music, Google Videos and more.

I like the idea of the Android because I have an Android phone. I am fully immersed in the Google world, with Gmail, Google Maps etc. I like the idea of have the same-type format for all my devices.

 I hope to have a video of me actually using a Toshiba Tablet Thrive soon!  Stay tuned.

My New Addiction

OK. I think it is time that I come clean. I have a problem. It is kind of embarrassing but I think it is time that I be honest with myself and all of you. I am addicted......to the butt warmer in my car.

Wow. I said it. I feel so much better.

Here is the thing - when it gets cool outside ( I am not talking cold, just a cool breeze would do it) I turn on the seat warmer in my car. Day or night that butt warmer is on. There is just something so cozy about a warm seat.

Tech for the Holidays

I am looking forward to taking part in this program. I will be checking out some cool products from Toshiba and will let you know what I find.

I am going to take a look at the Toshiba Tablet or/and 3D HDTV...not sure if I can choose. I want to take the Tablet for a spin but I know my husband would LOVE to check out the TV. I might have to report back on both. I will keep you posted
