Transferring

My laptop has been extremely slow lately and I'm wondering if it's due to the fact that I have a lot of family photos on my hard drive. I also have a lot of articles I've done for various companies stored on my hard drive. So I think I might grab some office supplies like CD's and burn the photos to CD.

I have not done so in the past because my biggest fear is that the laptop or computer I use won't be able to read the CDs due to scratches, etc. I had that problem with disks and lost some of the stories I'd written because of that. But, I guess I need to set that fear aside and give it a shot.

Have an Avocado or a Glass of Milk!

Did you know that there are actually foods that burn fat?Yep, it's true and I would know because I spent a lot of time researching and writing about diet and nutrition. Eating foods like jalapenos, avocados and even drinking milk can actually help you burn fat. Here's a quick rundown:

Jalapenos have a natural spice in them that burns foods like that fatty chop you had for dinner.
Avocados are a great alternative to fatty foods since they're considered a good fat.
Milk actually helps control your appetite and fills you up faster so you tend to eat less.

Of course there are a lot more foods that can help you lose weight and when you include them with exercise, you'll soon not only look great, you'll feel great as well.

Acting Dreams and Writing My Novel

There are a lot of goals that I want to accomplish in my life. At one time, acting was one of them. I had actually gotten as far as heading to modeling school, but after graduation acting was never brought up with the company. It was a bit of a disappointment.

Eventually I moved to Las Vegas and then considered a move to California. However, I moved back to the midwest due to family issues. So I don't really know if I'll ever get a chance to do any acting.

I will however publish my novel one of these days and when I do, I hope to see it on the big screen. That may be a big stretch, but maybe a small moving making company might run across it, you know?

Anyway, I'm rambling. The reason I was thinking about all of that was because of my DVD burner. I've never used it and wondered if I would ever have the opportunity to do so. Right now I don't even have a good video camera to record with.lol I have however seen a lot of online websites like Burn2DVD.com that will allow people who don't have a burner to burn DVDs. Pretty cool, but I don't know too many people who don't already have a built in one in their laptop or computer! Still, it's a neat idea and once again I'm rambling.lol

Editing my Audio and Video Files for Work

Sometimes I am in need of a decent software to edit my audio and video files for work. I don't want to have to spend a fortune on several programs just to get all of the features I need on something I rare use, so what's a girl to do?

I just found out about Blaze Media and it's perfect for me. Ripping, converting, burning.... This program looks like it does it all. I can convert from MP3 to WAV for my audio files or vice versa. I can burn my audio and video files on CD and DVD. There's even a free trial version. I most definitely have to try it!
