This is our song. It is almost exactly what I said to him all those years ago. I was amazed when I heard this the first time. I couldn’t believe that someone had written a song so close to what happened with us. It’s heartening to know that I am not the only one with this scenario.
Pumpkins
While at work today I saw the very first sign for the many pumpkin farms in this area, and I can not wait to take David to let him pick out his pumpkin for our porch jack-o-lantern. It has become a family trip and party to pick the correct pumpkin and to get it carved and set up on the porch, just right.
I like to pick one smaller pumpkin to make us some pies and we will get this done on this trip too. I love this time of year, the weather has cooled off and we have so much to do this time of year.
Roll On
Every morning as I return home from work I see people in such a rush to get to work or where ever they are going that they will almost run you off the road if you have the audacity to go the speed limit. God forbid you try to save money and drive less than the posted limit like I do some times, I am not a person who is in a hurry most of the time and I am getting very tired of getting the one finger salute as these jerks go by. Makes a girl want to carry a firearm with her sometimes. Good thing I do not own a firearm.
Yesterday, my sister and I were on our way to Wlamart when an 18 wheeler decided that she didn’t like us and tried to run us of the road. I was so upset that my sister called the cops and they said that they couldn’t do anything. Boy was I bent out of shape with that.
Changing Uniform Styles
There are multiple varieties of uniforms in the United States. One of my favorite types of uniforms are nursing uniforms. Every time I visit a doctors office or hospital I see the medical staff wearing these and they seem to be quite comfortable in their attire.
The history of medical scrubs and uniforms has changed greatly throughout time. Forty years ago when my grandmother was a nurse they never would have dreamed of dressing in scrubs. They wore extremely white uniforms with a cap on their heads. Today it is an entirely different story.
The part of scrub uniforms that is always the most interesting to look at is the
nursing scrub tops. There is a large variety of designs to choose from. From flowers to cartoon characters, almost anything a person is looking for exists in a scrub top pattern. Perhaps the most interesting patterns seen are at pediatrician’s offices. The pediatric nurses can often be seen wearing children’s designs on there scrub tops. I think that this is a nice addition to the pediatrician’s office. These designs can help put the children at ease during their visit.
Evil black insects
The other morning I decided to get a jump on my gardening that I has been neglected for the last couple of weeks. The one thing I didn’t expect to have meeting me outside was a little black insect; hundreds to be exact. There are multiple measures next time that I know I need to have in place.
The season is young and I didn’t expect to have such an encounter. I was only outside for two hours and I was completely bitten from head to toe. I was miserable afterwards. In fact, I still am itching. The next time I decide to do dome landscaping I will have to be sure to not wash my hair first, wear a hat, put on some bug spray and equip myself with knee pads! Maybe this is the magical combination to reduce being attacked by black flies!
At any rate these bugs are evil and I wish I could garden in a bubble. Unfortunately that will never happen so I must arm myself the next time I decide to go outside in order to fight their army.
Juicy goodness
Usually I dread going to pick up groceries every week. However, this week I was pleasantly surprised. While shopping the produce section I discovered watermelon!
Watermelon is extremely nutritious, not to mention delicious. I have always been surprised at how thirst quenching this melon can be. Personally, I have been known to eat watermelon to not only quench my thirst but also my hunger. The major reason for this quality is that most hold 92% water by weight.
The watermelon does have a large number of carbohydrate,s but next to no fat. The fat that does exist merely comes from the natural sugar found in the fruit. I highly recommend this fruit to anyone who wants a refreshing and versatile fruit.
Christmas Shopping
Although it is still summer, I can’t help but think about how winter is right around the corner and all of the things that come along with the winter months. I am not a fan of winter. The cold, the snow, the icy roads and then of course there is always all of the holidays that come along with winter. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s.
Now is a good time to start thinking of who I am going to feel obligated to purchase Christmas presents for and how much money I plan on spending on it all. I am going to start now. There are a lot if things on sale right now because stores are trying to get rid of their summer stock and make way for items that are needed for back to school and for the cold weather that we all have to prepare for.
Last year I managed to purchase every single gift online. I got a lot of my shopping done at musiciansfriends website since so many of my friends and family are into playing music. I didn’t have to actually go to any of the old brick and mortar stores, except for the food items that I needed for the various family holiday dinners. I would love to be able to brag about doing the exact some thing about for this year’s celebrations.
So Many Shoes
Shoes have always held a special place in my grandmother’s heart. She is always looking at the newest shoes on the market. Many of the ones she looks at she would never be able to wear but she still enjoys looking at them.
One type of she really likes is the Minnetonka shoes. They have many styles on moccasins. All colors are nearly available including with or without fringe. My grandmother isn’t especially concerned with fringe but she does like the color purple. I am not sure if she has any purple moccasins but I’m sure she will soon.
Frye shoes, I do not believe she would care for as much. I, however, think they look pretty cool. I particularly like the boots. I think I may look into their boots when I get my motorcycle. The other style that I really liked was a pair of sandals from Josef Seibel shoes. They will be perfect for this summer when I go out on the town!
CafeMom
Here is a good site for moms only. It is a dedicated social network for moms to get together and discuss any and all topics. There are many different kinds of groups that you can join, from political to health or just plain fun, Cafemom has everything. I totally recommend that all moms try this site. I know that you will love it.
Looking Chic On My Bicycle
One of the best parts about riding my bicycle around town is that I’m able to wear a lot of my cute clothes and not worry about messing them up. It’s not like I ride that far to work or anything because most of the places are nearby my home. I’m really into fashion and love the opportunity I have to show off my personal style when I ride my bike.
I almost feel sorry for people who ride motorcycles and have to wear special gear on them just for safety purposes. Well, I don’t really worry about that. I do have a helmet, but it looks pretty cute and matches my bike so it looks good, not dorky. I found it online a few weeks ago at a really good price, actually. While I was online looking for helmets, I came across the website for Wild Blue Deals I looked through it a little bit and after that I decided to sign up for an internet package that I found on that website.
I’m excited about this weather because I’ll be able to ride my back a little bit more. I hate it when it’s too darned cold for me to ride. I’m just sad I live in an area where I can’t ride my bicycle comfortably all the time.
