White Christmas... Not Blue Christmas
So... I have not blogged in a while. School in finally over and I have more time now. As the holidays approach I am beginning to see more and more decorations. I love everything about Christmas. I love the decorations... well most of them. The one thing that I do not like is BLUE Christmas lights. Blue has nothing to do with Christmas. They are almost blinding and I have never liked them. Someone argued that blue Christmas lights look like winter and that they can be included in white Christmas. NO. There is nothing blue about Christmas. Snow is not blue... it is white. If you want a "white Christmas look" put WHITE lights up. The sky is rarely even blue in the winter. Nothing is blue. I encourage Christmas decorating minus the blue. White is my favorite but I can accept green and red and some of those multi colored lights. I will however not accept blue lights or decorations.

google, security questions
So...I learned something today that I thought might save others time. My homepage on my desktop is Google. Partly because I Google 5-10 times a day. I don't know where I would get the answers to all my questions without it. Yes I do.... I call the deep blogging boyfriend with questions all day. Anyways, sometimes the google home page is themed or decorated for different events. Nine times out of ten I do not know what they stand for or their relevence to anything. I used to google "what is the theme of the word google" and the answer would come up. For instance, today the google site has cookie monster in the background. In the past I would have googled, "why is cookie monster in the Google Homepage." Not anymore. You can simply click on the word "Google" and the info about the theme will come up! What will they think of next? Cookie Monster is on the page today becasue Sesame Street is celebrating 40 years. I love Sesame Street and watched it all the time when I was little. My child wants nothing to do with it. As I was thinking about Google I thought of another thing on my computer that I dislike. Whenever I type a web address on facebook or try to copy and paste something on line those security questions appear. The ones that make you re-type ridiculous words. They bother me because they are not even secure so what is the point? If there is a long word I simply hit submit and it gives me another one. Also, If I accidently type it incorrectly it just makes me do another one. I do not like the security questions but I have admited something I do like. Google.
