Ultimate Frisbee

ultimate frisbee

My mentor partner and I had a blast playing ultimate frisbee outside with the girls today. It was so beautiful here in Maryland. I for one didn’t want to be cooped up indoors and was thrilled when my mentor partner told me her plans for today. I had a fabulous workout and when I finally call it an evening I know I’ll sleep soundly.

Playtime

My daughter and I arrived back in the house about an hour ago? Where were we? Playing outside enjoying the fresh air. It’s a beautiful day! I’ll have to post pictures. Although winter is my favorite season I truly love the spring time since it’s the start of planting season. My daughter loves to help mommy plant seeds as we get the ground ready for the seeds home. I talk about the different seeds and wonderful surprises they have in store for us. It’s a wonderful bonding time. I believe we will start planting this weekend. We have a playdate scheduled for this Sunday. My friend and her two children will be coming out to the house. I’m thinking of including planting as one of our activities. I truly believe they will love playing in the dirt.

Green Cravings

Collard Greens

I’ve been craving greens (again) so I’ve been ramping up my daily smoothies. This morning I made a smoothie with apples, collards, and grapes. It’s delicious and gives me an extra boost of energy (as if I need it) actually I do. My work load has been going into overdrive for the past few weeks and I’ve been spending all my time focusing on my projects.

Apple shares on the rise

Apple Logo

I really love my Apple products. I use the MacBook Pro, Ipod nano, Ipod, and a wireless mouse. I’ve been happy with their products and service since I made the big switch in October 2006. I did purchase a HP notebook a few weeks ago. Why? I needed to use Windows OS for one of my clients. I didn’t want to put Windows on my Mac. I. Don’t. Like. Windows. Besides my work the HP gets no time from me. My daughter uses it to play Starfall but I’ll be purchasing a Mac (not sure if it will be a desktop or a notebook) sometime later this year. I simply prefer my Mac’s. I’m currently looking at trainings for the Mac OS when I have some spare time I might take a few courses to get a few certifications.

Apple rolls out a bright iFuture

The company’s amazing transformation continues with a series of big surprises beginning in the next 30 days. They could make it the tech world’s undisputed leader. I think shares will double again by 2010.

Even as world markets renewed their high-volatility rout this week, real business went on as usual. And for tens of thousands of companies without exposure to subprime lenders or low-end consumers, business is still very good.

A genuine leader in this regard at the moment is Apple (AAPL, news, msgs), which is on track to emerge later this year as the single most influential, life-changing and powerful company in the technology and consumer electronics universe. In a few years, it could even become the most valuable. <more>
