I could be doing a lot more productive things right now

In today’s world of digital I am so paranoid that I am going to lose everything…my life.  All of my home videos, thousands of pictures and music is stored on my Mac hard drive and an external hard drive.  Anything can happen in a second and wipe it all clean.  Any hard drive at any given time could corrupt.  My house could get hit my lightning (again) frying my external hard drive.

I’ve talked about it on the air, I am all about making Kodak photo books to display and treasure my photo memories.  I’m constantly making home movies and burning them onto a DVD.  But what else should I be doing to prepare for the worst.

I read about “mozy” on digg.com, it’s an online data backup.   Have you heard of it?  Is it worth the $5/mo?

Remember this crazy lady? Tricia Hag first hit the youtube scene when she posted a video about her ex-husband "throwing her out" she revealed that he couldn't "perform".
Well…she’s still nutz
Nice shirt btw. 

I went shopping and didn’t buy anything for myself!  It may sound trivial but to me it’s a huge deal.  I am a borderline shopaholic.  When I go to the mall with the intention of buying a particular item I leave with everything else BUT the thing I went in to buy.  I can’t help it.  I’m drawn to the cute new fashion trends.  To the sales racks… I hate digging through them but I have to at least look otherwise I’ll feel like I’m missing out on something.

Today I went to buy a bridal shower gift, mind you the shower is tomorrow morning so I don’t have much time.  My girlfriend is registered at Macy’s so I parked right in front of the Macy’s entrance and went straight to the bridal registry.  Well, I forgot that Macy’s has a home store and a clothing store.  So of course I subconsciously parked at the entrance of the wrong one.

The minute I stepped through the door the sales racks were calling out my name.  I tried on a few pair of sunglasses.  Looked at a few cute summer dresses and found myself trying on shoes.  But… in the end I walked away…pulled myself away.

I came home with nothing but a $40 salad spinner.

Ok don’t take offense if you are an only child, I’m just putting it out there.

Do guys who are the only child in the family tend to be more spoiled and selfish? Are they good marriage material? They after all have never really been forced to share their parents’ attention, or asked to give their toys to their younger siblings.   No fault to anyone, but for their entire life it’s been all about them.

My friend’s BF is a very nice guy, but a bit of “me, me, me” person. I honestly don’t think he even realizes he’s like that. It doesn’t help that his mother calls him “perfect” her one and only “baby”.

So the question: How do you “retrain” a guy like this, or is it a lost cause?

I’m trying to get my friend and her BF on the air with us tomorrow morning to talk about it.

But for now…leave me your thoughts and I’ll pass them along.
