Got to love Christmas.  One of the few times a year I can take a vacation.  Now I don’t mean traveling to gulf shores al or the beach or what.  For me, all I really want to do is spend time in my bed.  Maybe get in around ten hours of sleep every night.  That would make for an awesome vacation.  Then I’d get up, knowing there was no work to be done.

That would be the most awesome Christmas gift.  Well, no.  I wouldn’t mind getting a million bucks for Christmas, either.  I could live with that, yeah.

I must admit, I have not used antivirus software in a really long time, probably because I am on a Mac and haven’t really felt the need to.  Recently though, my mom got herself a new laptop, and since it isn’t a Mac, we figured it would need some sort of protection.

I am pretty much leaning towards using Sun Belt software right now.  I like a fast computer.  A clean, fast computer.  But sometimes, it’s so hard to have both.  Most antivirus programs bog down your computer more than a virus would, in my experience.  I don’t like having to sacrifice speed for a clean computer.

Sun Belt software works like a charm, though.  It doesn’t take up much resources while keeping your computer free of viruses, so you still get the speed you want.  Just because it doesn’t hog resources though, doesn’t mean it isn’t effective.  It’s got email protection, malware protection, everything.  You could say they have a very proactive approach to protecting your computer.  Oh, and no hidden credit card charges every year (don’t we all hate those?).

All in all, I think it’d be ideal for my mom’s netbook.

When I get into a sport, I really get into a sport.  When I was in high school, I was a table tennis fanatic.  You would see me hanging around the ping pong tables every break time.  That’s just the way I roll.

Lately though, I haven’t been playing basketball.  I really should.  I am getting kind of pudgy around the waist area, and winning always helps me lose weight.  Yeah, I win most every time.  Blowing my own horn also helps me lose weight.
