Betterment

 On my desk stands a lamp similar to the one pictured above, easily one of my favorite products.  After weeks and weeks of coveting my husband's bedside lamp with 2 electrical outlets and of growing increasingly discontent every time I spelunked under said desk to plug-in my laptop power cord, I bought one.  If and when my bedside touch lamp expires, I will seek to replace it with a touch lamp with 2 electrical outlets. How lazy am I?

 I don't actually believe that I am lazy; I do enjoy being efficient, however.  Since I acquired my Transformer Tablet, I have worked to add and to experiment with apps that will aid me in my job, thereby making me feel better about the splurge for this toy.  I finally succumbed to synching my Outlook calendar with Google Drive and am appreciative of that time-saver.  My initial hesitation was mostly related to a deeply ingrained mistrust of storing things "out there" on the internet.  There are many things I refuse to share with the internet, but this one is indeed helpful. 


  A third product which makes my life better is my:

Timex Ironman Triathlon 50-lap Sleek Midsize Sports Watch

Purchased because of the interval timers feature for running, I also love it for its alarms and timers, which help me to remember to follow-through on things in the midst of our hectic home school life.  Currently my alarm is set so that I will load the bread machine before I leave later for drama troupe rehearsal.  My one beef with this product is the band that comes apart much too easily.  I continue to shop for a similar product with a better band design.
