    Thursday, Rob, Drew, 2 other friends of ours, and I went to Atlanta to see Cheap Trick and Aerosmith. Aerosmith’s plays list could have been better, but over all great concert.

    Abby & Garcia

    November 3, 2010 - By 

    Rob and I DVR everything. When we got the DVR a few years ago, we never realized how it would revolutionize our TV watching. I think we’re able to watch 2-3 times the amount of TV that we used to. Skipping commercials and sometimes skipping stuff that’s boring or monotonous saves a ton of time. Working so much the DVR has been a “life-saver” or should I say a TV saver…literally! (I crack myself up!) Anyway, I had actually started writing this post waaaay back…don’t even remember when. So anyway, I’m thinking I need blog about TV more, because well…I’m…

    Reason #3,489 That I Love Living in a College Town

    October 28, 2010 - By 

    I love living in a college town. Every weekend there is always something to do. We actually don’t take advantage of that fact enough, but I after a recent date with Rob to a UPC event it made me cognizant of the fact that I should be looking at the calendar to see what’s going on. So one night while looking I noticed that Diamond Rio was coming to town. For 5 bucks, I could go see this band that I’ve loved since high school. It was a great concert. I walked straight over to the Student Union right after…

    American Idol {Spoiler!}

    May 26, 2010 - By 

    The American Idol finale was awesome! Incredible performers and performances! The highlight of the show was when Casey James came out and sang Every Rose Has Its Thorn. During earlier performances, Rob and I would call out who sang the song originally. I, for some reason, was thinking it was Guns N Roses and we were like, oh well their lead singer is dead….yada yada yada. Then when Bret Michaels walked out, I absolutely lost it. I have grown fond of Bret while watching Celebrity Apprentice. I so much admired his humor and his love for his daughters. Anyway, in…

    Universal Pictures’s *big* summer release is hitting theaters July 9, 2010, Despicable Me starring the voice talent of Steve Carell, Miranda Cosgrove, Jason Segel and Russell Brand.

Of course, since I have an iPod and can’t access it when I’m out I have to do where I have free wifi. Regardless I find this very useful and informative. Below you can see the information that it gives you for the item you’re trying to look up. Here it shows the screen which is so…

    Friday’s Favorite App: Touch Bible LE

    September 18, 2009 - By 

    Touch Bible LE by: Patrick Franklin Category: Reference Released: November 2008 Size: 26.7 MB I love this because instead of lugging my bible to church, I’m able to be able to access the entire bible without having WiFi. Since I have an iPod touch, I don’t have the luxury that iPhone users have. So the other day when I went to church and forgot my bible, I decided to give it a try. I first checked to see if I was able to connect to WiFi, because I thought for sure I would need it for this app. Shocked, but…

    Zenbe Lists by: Robert Kieffer Category: Productivity Released: October 2008 Size: 0.2 MB *Note: This was free I downloaded it. It appears now that it’s not. I apologize for that, but I was nearly done writing this when I noticed that. Zenbe.com came out in 2008 and I think I must have started using it that summer. There’s three sections to Zenbe; email, lists, & shareflow. The lists part is the part of the site that I use with the iPod. Since I’m a serious list-maker, I find this site & app to be priceless. What I usually do is…

    September 4, 2009 - By 

    I just think it is awesome that there are FREE applications for iPhones & iPods. Better yet they are 1,000’s to choose from! I’ve found some that I just couldn’t live without. I’ve decided to write a weekly post every Friday to feature my favorite free iPod/iPhone application. Unblock Me FREE by: Kiragames Category: Games Released: August 2009 Size: 1.7 MB Unblock Me is a game I quickly became addicted to. I guess I’ve always loved puzzle type games more than the normal board game, so this was right up alley. It turns out that my 5 yo and 11…

    Van Halen Concert

    April 13, 2008 - By 

    For Valentine’s Day, Rob took me to see Van Halen the Sunday before Valentine’s Day. It was a surprise and I thought it was so sweet of him to think of that. Before the concert, we ate at Ted’s Montana Grill and it was really good. The opening act was kind of an odd choice, Ky-Mani Marley. Setlist 01. You Really Got Me 02. I’m the One 03.

    New TV Addiction

    March 30, 2006 - By 

    For those of who know me well, know that I’m a reality TV addict! So the other night, I watched Next Food Network Star. I didn’t watch the first season so I wasn’t sure what to expect. But, I’m totally hooked now! I set the DVR to record the entire season. Watching the 2nd episode, I was so shocked to see all the preparation and work that goes into 1 episode of a cooking show. I was also surprised that they tape it live with no stops. If you mess up, oh well, you gotta keep going. Not only do…
