A couple of friends are getting their first car ever next month and having a car of their own, they have started searching for a good if not the best auto insurance there is out there. If they ask me, they can get insurance quotes online for free and they can then compare cheap insurance rates and benefits offered from these policies. It will be easier to decide if they compare and know which offers the best rates there is. These days, I heard you can find cheap insurance rates thanks to technology using your iPhone using a free application called Insurance Shopper. Cool isn’t it?

My 320GB WD EHD cable connection seem to be not working well lately and it makes me think I might need to save up for a new external hard drive if the cable does not get fixed. I had done some backup withn our photos moving them back to my laptop just in case I would at least save some files in case it suddenly gives up on me but am still hoping it won’t. I saw a Western Digital 1TB My Book Essential USB 2.0 External Hard Drive online and it was one sale and a lot cheaper than the one we bought in a local store. I hope by the time, I really need to buy a new EHD, its price would be lower. A 2TB would be great, we could store lots of file, photos, music and movies in there.

Hoping that the grocery won’t be packed with many people tomorrow since it is a holiday and a day before new year’s eve. Usually at this time there are less people at the grocery buying food and stuff for their new year celebration. The lines won’t be long I hope and thank goodness for technology such as those barcode scanner that make life easier and faster when lining up in the cashier to pay the food and stuff you buy in the grocery. I remember during the old days when the cashier still has to punch everything one by one and it takes up much more time and it will take you so much time to wait in line. Going to the grocery during the holiday rush then is sweet torture to one’s feet. I hope so too that I will be able to do the errands tomorrow morning as planned to catch up with the bank as well.

Out of the blue, hubby and I suddenly talked about finding a way to secure our place especially during these holidays when we might be almost always out trying to enjoy the holidays bonding outside. During these times, we should be more careful coz during these hard times in our economy there are also some people who take advantage that people may be not in their homes. It would be great to have one of those security cameras that will track intruders when we’re not at home and will record whatever might happen in case someone tried to break into our place. what gave us an idea is when he was telling me a story about a movie where they have a camera that records what happens when they are asleep at night.

I had to discuss with hubby if it would help to upgrade my laptop memory since someone told me it is one of the best ways to improve speed and performance of my laptop. I have been noticing that my lappy seems slower now than when I was using it when it was still new. I have to check this out with hubby as I was not able to talk to him about this when he got home from work. Buy.com has some holiday deals on this which I saw this morning while browsing through their site for something else I have been looking for.
