A New Atomic Watch For Father’s Day

I am surprised to find that people are still buying and wearing wrist watches these days, since most people are turning to their cell phones, their Black Berries and all of the other types of technology that we all rely on every day. My father is a perfect example of someone that still wears a watch and he is asking for a new one for Father’s Day which is coming up next month. My mother has all ready purchased a gift for him, something that she picked up several months ago for him that she stuck away to use for Father’s Day. So my mother has asked us kids to pitch in a find him one of the Atomic Watches that he has been eyeballing for some time now which is cool with us since we never know what to get him, so this will make it easier for us all.

It is up to me to find the perfect watch for him so of course I’ve turned to the Internet to do the job for me. I think I’ve found one that he will appreciate and wear. It’s a Casio GW9100-1 Men’s Atomic Solar G-Shock Gulf Man Black Digital Back that usually sells for $220 and is on sale for $155 that I found at bluedail.com. I’ve sent the link to my brother and sister to make sure they are happy with my selection before I actually order it. I can’t imagine either one of them having an issue with it and if they do I will let them know that they are more than welcome to find one that they think would be better and I’ll back down from it, no problem. But I think this will do just fine and I’m anxious to go ahead and get started on getting my order in although we have plenty of time. Good thing bluedial.com has free 2 day shipping if we get too close to the deadline before making a final decision.

Those Wacky Scrubs Wearing Medical Professionals On [scrubs]

I remember the first time that I watched the popular TV show [scrubs], I wasn’t impressed. Their type of wacky humor just didn’t float my boat, in fact it was a major turn off, so much so that I didn’t give the show a second chance for over a year. But as time went by and I would once in a while be hard pressed for something to watch and ended up watching a few episodes now and then, here and there and now I’m pretty much a hard core fan. Watching these corn ball medical professionals running around in all their scrub uniforms, playing havoc with one another in such wacky off the wall situations, not only in their work environment at the hospital, but off the clock as well, just cracks me up.

I’m wondering if that show helped inspired the medical field to wear uniforms that aren’t just the normal green scrubs that we all have seen them wear in the past. Now a days they have such a wide selection of medical uniforms that they can wear for a much better variety for them to choose from, which I think is great. I don’t think I could wear the same thing day after day, year after year. After all variety is the spice of life. I love it when I see someone in Pediatrics and they are sporting a cute Disney or Winnie The Pooh scrub on and I’m sure that the kids like it better as well. Anything that helps make it easier for the kids (and the staff) is worth it, right?

Faithful

Content by Mac Kline

Ever since I was a little girl, fashion has been a huge part of my life. I would go shopping with my mom, and we would pick out the trendiest outfits together. We really bonded as mother and daughter on our shopping sprees.

Now that I am older, I still find ways to keep up with the latest fashion trends. Every week, I flip on my Dish tv and watch “What Not to Wear.” The show’s hosts, Clinton Kelly and Stacy London, make a perfect duo. They are both catty and witty when they critique the outfits of their guests. Stacy picks out the most amazing outfits, and Clinton is a genius at mixing and matching separates. At the end of each show, the finished makeover is always unbelievable. I have never seen a guest not like the end result.

I started watching the show about five years ago, when my fashionable mother introduced it to me. I have been a faithful viewer on a weekly basis ever since. One day, I plan on nominating my boss for the show. She needs a lot of fashion advice, as her wardrobe is very drab and matronly. It would be a dream to actually meet Stacy and Clinton in real life one day. Perhaps my fashion dream will come true.

What They Call A Perfect Comeback

Took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes.

I noticed he was watching someone walking next to him

The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors – green, red, orange & blue – and my dad kept staring at her.

The teen would look over and find my dad staring, every time.

When she’d finally had enough, she sarcastically asked:

“What’s the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?”

Knowing my Dad as I do, I quickly swallowed my food so I wouldn’t choke on his response – I knew he’d have a good one!

In classic style, he responded without batting an eyelid:

“Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my daughter.”

Eye Wear from Zenni Optical

Wow, I’m impressed with the idea and the feature that Zenni Optical has come out with. They now have a way for us to see what we will look like with the glasses that they have for sale with their virtual try on frames program. All you do is upload a picture of yourself and start choosing what frames you want to see on yourself. Now how cool is that?

The price of eyeglasses varies from place to place with some places charging an arm and a leg for their products. Zenni Optical is known for their affordable prices on their wide variety of eye wear and they just reduced more of their glasses from $8 a pair to $6.95 so that is promising in a time where the prices of just about everything are sky rocketing right before our eyes.

My eyesight is very important to me, bad eyes run in the family and I’ve had to wear eye glasses since the 4th grade. I’d love to have the laser eye surgery at some point, but I have to wait for the prices to come down some before I try that. The prices are dropping so one day I hope to have all most perfect eyesight once again and won’t have to worry about eye glasses ever again. That will be a nice change. In the mean time I’ll stick with Zenni Optical and their products. Now I just need to take a picture of myself and get the party started!

Laundry

My best friend waits until Saturday to do her laundry. I just don’t get why anyone would wait all week to do their laundry and forfeit a whole day to take card of laundry issues. I try and get one load done a day, that way I have my weekends free for things that I want to do.

Become.com is Becoming

I’ve never been much on worrying about brand names. I know what I like and what I don’t like, a name attached to something doesn’t make it or break it for me. My sister on the other hand is crazy about things like that. Right now she is re doing her master bedroom and master bathroom and has fallen in love with the Candice Olson furniture that she has found online. She is quite good in finding great deals online and has found a cool website called become.com that brings power shopping to your finger tips with price comparison and  product reviews, which is a great product shopping and research tool for online shoppers that are becoming more and more popular each year.

She found become.com when she was pregnant and was looking for the best baby related products that she could find while waiting at home, on bed rest for the last 2 months of her pregnancy. She had twins and it was hard on her then and still hard on her now three years later and she still has 15 years to go. LOL

I’ve used become.com a few times myself. I found some great women’s jewelry by using their search engines. I usually buy most of my costume jewelry at the thrift stores or the local flea markets. But when I find a company that has low prices and has free shipping I’ll keep buying online and not deal with crowds at these various markets.

Less Can Be More

My best friend is very pleased with her new make up products that she ordered online. They are the Bare Escentuals Products that I have seen advertised on TV in the middle of the night from time to time. See says that you only have to use the bare minimum and that it is good for your skin. You can even sleep with it on and it doesn’t mess up your skin like other heavy make up does.

I’m thinking next time I have a few extra bucks that I’ll check into as well. I’m sick of my make up regiment and am due for a change.

It’s A Wrap

My niece loves playing dress up, she has since she was three years old. Her favorite colors are pink and purple, which I believe is pretty normal for most little girls. When I was growing up my favorite color was red and then as I matured it some how turned into blue, I’ve never been a fan of the typical pinks and purples that are so popular for little girls.

Anyway she is a fan of Doodlebop and I have found some really great Doodlebops Costumes online today that I’m considering purchasing her to use as dress up and for the up and coming Halloween trick or treating. This particular costume usually runs almost $40, but is currently on sale for $15, that’s a nice deal there folks. I think that she will get a kick out of it or not, even if she doesn’t use it for Halloween. She has a trunk full of costumes and dress up clothes that she has collected through out the years. Her mother has done a good job keeping this young one’s creative juices flowing in many ways, I can give her that much. She is a pistol and I love her dearly. She has me (and plenty other relatives) wrapped right around her little girl finger!

Time for a Make-Over or Two

I’ve been itching to start a make over for my bedroom. I’d really like to get some new Bed Linens to start with. I’ve been looking online for the past couple of weeks at some of the Comforters that are out now, some nice colorful ones that I’ve set my eyes on. Of course if I purchase these items I may as well look into some nice new colorful Bed Pillows to really them off nicely.

It’s been a long time since I done anything for my bedroom. I think the last thing I did was to buy some new bed side Lamps that I found at the flew market. I love going to the flea market but some thing I do prefer to purchase brand new. With the Internet bringing so many things right to our finger tips there is just so much to choose from.

After take care of a few things in the bedroom, I’ve been thinking that the bathroom has been looking pretty shabby and certainly use some spicing up. There are plenty of Home Accessories sites online that I’m sure I’ll be checking into. I’ll look for places that offer free shipping and that accept PayPal, those are two important factors in making my decision.
