We plan on traveling to the Outer Banks of North Carolina some day. We honeymooned in North Carolina and love it. We will probably wait for the baby to get just a little older so she will have a good time. That is just one of the many vacations we have planned. Disney World, Washington D.C., and a few other places are making our short list.

Next year we are likely to go to D.C. since I have a conference there anyway. We can make it a working vacation. There is so much to see and do with almost everything free. So, all we need to cover are basic expenses and we should be able to tour pretty much for very little cost.

Right now we are planning on going to Dragon Con, which is just over a month away. After that, we have Ren Faire in November. The spring will be our trip to DC. Time to start doing some serious planning.

Our main television is quite old and needs to be replaced. I was looking for something with s-video inputs or at least RCA inputs so that we have more options for gaming and computer display. It would also be nice to pick up a DVR so we can record those shows we miss and watch them whenever we want.

Abt Electronics has a wide selection of TVs and other electronics. There’s nothing I like better than “window” shopping for electronics, so it’s fun to explore the whole website to see what they have. If I decide to buy from Abt, I can take advantage of free shipping, which could save me a lot of money. At least free shipping will help me shop and keep within my budget a little better.

There are so many option when it comes to buying a new television like LCD, plasma, projector. So many options that I really want to explore all the features of each to see which is right for us. On all of their products, Abt has a lot of detail, pictures, and user reviews, so I should be able to find out a lot about each TV right from from their website.

It’s exciting to shop for a new television especially one that will feature newer technology, making it easier to connection to our games and computer.

I enjoy reality TV but are the only people on these shows trying to further their career? Take Jen on Big Brother 8. They have said that she is a Nanny and give her that title, but when they show her family talking about her they say she is a model.

The guy who left Thursday night was apparently a model, too. I know they want pretty people on the show but geez, can we just have people on the show who want the just the money and not a career boost?

I guess it makes sense that those who are looking for a way into Hollywood might even make for better TV. It’s just a small irritation, though but one I’ve come to expect and shouldn’t be surprised about anymore.
