I’m frequently looking for ways to customize our computers at home and put the latest utilities and Windows Updates on each machine. One of my guilty pleasures is changing my computer’s background wallpaper frequently – even more often than we buy a new car. Speaking of which, most of the time I use Car wallpapers for the background image as the one thing I love more than changing my wallpaper is new cars. One good thing about TopSpeed.com is that they have Car Wallpapers for almost any car on the market… sweet!

My husband wanted to watch the Chicago Bears play Green Bay here in Chicago this afternoon but we have been having trouble with Comcast, our cable provider. They accidentally cut our service a couple weeks ago and they have been crazy about not wanting to get it restored for us. My husband said he would buy a last minute ticket on StubHub that he could pick up at the will call window just to see the game and then ask Comcast to reimburse it, hehe.

Anyway, he did catch the game on streaming radio from ChicagoBears.com and they are kicking Green Bay for the second time this year. Amazing! Favre is not having much luck playing against the Bears this year.

In the past few days I have been looking for a good health insurance quote because our health insurance benefits are running out from a professional placement firm I worked for until recently. I think I may have found the right offer from British United Provident Association (BUPA), providers of Private medical insurance for people like our family in which the two bread-winners are consulting, doing entrepreneurship, and I recently started as a real estate agent, with no deals on the horizon.

BUPA’s web site is actually a full health portal with lots of information and factsheets on various medical conditions. I will be visiting this site a lot in the coming years as my husband and I are nearing middle age and our kids grow into toddlers.

After my father in law has a knee surgery, we are very careful of him being hurt while walking, driving or taking a bath. So we are really looking for a new bath tub that he could have a hand bar and he could be able to sit down in the tub. One of my friends has recommend walk in tubs, this is one of the brand from romain active, she works for senior people and she has heard lots of good reviews about their product. I searched on line and noted there are lots of choices, the price is reasonable too, plus they have professional people to help and set it up for you.

Coffee always can be a good gift, especially in the winter, when snow outside, who does not want to have a nice cup of coffee. A friend of mine told me that you can find gourmet coffee gifts on this website, their coffee are all hand picked, very nice and original! I am thinking to get a few holiday gift baskets with the gourmet coffee for Elizabeth’s teachers, I know that they did a good job this past half a year, she has learned a lot from them. So I am sure they would like to accept this as our appreciations for their hard work.
