With the holiday season approaching, I’ve made a resolution for myself. After years of dealing with the crowds and standing in lines, I have made a decision. I am going to try to find every single gift that I give online this year. I have scouted out credible websites, and I’m pretty sure I can do it. You can seriously find almost everything online these days, and my gift list is no exception. I have ordered magazine subscriptions, home goods, clothes, accessories. I even ordered a subscription to satellite TV through www.direc4u.com! I didn’t have to worry about one single line, and I’m much more merry this year! Every gift just came right to my house, too- so I saved on gas! When I went to go checkout at one of the websites it gave me twenty percent off and free shipping. It’s almost like you don’t even have to pay tax! I think I’ve found a new way to shop for Christmas gifts! I suggest that everyone that is sick of manning the lines do the same thing!

Now that the economy is in such turmoil a lot of people have turned to the medical profession and we are seeing a lot of folks wearing the medical scrubs, much like the scrub sets that most of the characters on [scrubs) are sporting. When I was growing up all the doctors were wearing just the regular ordinary and plain white lab coats that are becoming a thing of the past.

I’m so glad to see that these medical uniforms have come a long way. You can find all kinds of medical uniforms, scrubs and the like at http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/.  Liking what you are wearing can make a difference on how your day goes and we want our medical folks in as good of a mood as we can get them in. Right?

I told her that the Dollar Store is a wonderful place to find items at a low cost, but she has gone to several of these types of businesses and the stuff is just junk and she is getting a bit nervous, considering that Christmas is now only less than a week away. She is going to keep looking, she has to of course, she can’t have her kids disappointed and think that Santa isn’t up to par this year!

The kicker of it is that they are having the party out on a lake on their houseboat! Can you believe it? I can’t wait to go, I have always wanted to go on a houseboat. I remember as a little girl I used to fantasize about living on one, sort of like in the movies as in the old black and white, made for TV movie, about “Tammy and the Professor”. It should be fun, I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Trade shows are by far a great way to learn about different businesses and their services, products and opportunities. They have come a long way since the 90′s when they started coming around. With bigger and better logo products to get the word out, with a larger variety of various logo canopy items and logo mats that can be found for sale for today’s trade shows use and job fairs also. Job fairs are a big to-do these days with so many people looking for networking as well as employment. Both events are a great opportunities and I always walk out on their nice looking customized trade show carpet enlightened and curious about numerous issues that were discovered throughout the day and a bag full of logo laced freebies.

I’ll be staying home handing out candy to the neighborhood kids that come up each year. Hope it is nice weather for them, it usually isn’t raining, but it can get chilly when the sun goes down and all the ghosts and goblins come out!

They recently finished revamping this particular park a few months ago. They installed some really cool and exciting playground equipment for all the neighborhood kids to play on safely, instead of the old wooden crap that has been there for as long as I can remember. Can’t tell you how many kids have gotten hurt there and all of the splinters that send so many kids home crying. New Picnic Tables and Park Benches have been installed as well, which is a plus for the parents and other care takers that end up there for hours that deserved better sitting arrangements for a long time now.

I’m not too much into packing a picnic basket, or grilling, but I do think that we will stop at the KFC and pick up some of their famous fried chicken, mashed potatoes w/ gravy along with their delicious coleslaw. I need to remember to take the camera and I really hope nothing happens in the mean time to mess up our weekend plans for just the two of us on a great day during this short but sweet Indian Summer.

Looks like I need to make a run to the local Petco and find our puppy some new chew toys to keep him occupied with something other than our personal stuff around the place. I have a Petco card and a few coupons that they sent me so today I’m running a bunch of errands and Petco is first on the list.
