Change Can Be Good

Seems that my aunt has changed her mind on where she wants to settle, instead of Lexington S.C. she is now considering the Greenville area of S.C. instead. She has found a website that allows you to view 19 channels of high definition, full screen videos that bring into the focus of what the community of Greenville has to offer. It’s appears that it is a vibrant community that has a lot to offer some one just like my aunt.

A man, Edwin McCain, who grew up, moved away and then returned to Greenville appears on one of the videos that I watched. He has made it his mission to promote his hometown, which I think is pretty darn cool. He is an alternative rock singer, songwriter, and guitarist who performs all across the U.S. of A. but still performs in Greenville and just released his first major label recording. You can actually see him perform on the video.

I’m sure my aunt will find the perfect place for her to settle into and enjoy her “golden years.” Any place would welcome this lady into their community. She is a first class lady, with a great sense of humor for an old broad!

Thank God for The Internet!

I have to admit that I really don’t know all that much about life insurance. My folks have been urging me to check into starting my own policy. They have one on me for $2,000 that they started when I was born. The policy was actually a gift that was presented to my parents from an aunt. A nice present, but unfortunately $2,000 isn’t all that much anymore, most likely not even enough to bury me with.

So I’ve taken upon myself to educate myself on the whole subject, thank God for the Internet. I need to learn what the best options are for me on a decent term life insurance policy. It shouldn’t take too long and I’m a pretty quick learner.

Trick or Treaters, I’ll Be Ready for Them

This year I’m going to play it smart a buy Bulk Candy to use for the trick and treaters that will be knocking at my door this Halloween. It is only a month away so I have time to find the best bargain that I can find, using the Internet of course. I am going to find the type of candy that I like to hand out so that all the left overs won’t go to waste, like the clark bar. Of course I can always take a good amount to work to share with the ladies there to snack on, but it would be nice if I could enjoy them as well. I like candy, but not all types.

I’ve received a few Candy Baskets before as gifts, throughout the years, and have only eaten some of the candy and the rest just goes to waste, which isn’t cool. It’s a good thing that most candy has a pretty long shelve life and keeps for a pretty long time. Nothing worse than biting into something that is stale and nasty!

We usually get a good amount of trick or treaters in this neighborhood, but you never know how much to buy, so it is a guessing game. And if the weather is bad and the kids don’t come out you can be stuck with a ton of icky candy to try and eat and get rid of, sigh…..

I’ll Try Anything Once, Twice if I Like It

The gals that I work worth and I have become such good friends over the years. We have so much fun at work, sharing stories, food, pictures, clothes, recipes, CDs, DVDs, germs, books, computers, etc…… We have quite a diverse group, one that is kept in one room all day, so we know each other fairly well at this point.

Save The Date Cards for The Big Wedding

One of the girls at work has just recently became engaged and isn’t wasting any time in the planning of the big event. Folks don’t waste much time these day with their engagements, the wedding is being planned for October 30th, the day before Halloween. The office is all the buzz with all that it entails with the planning of a semi-formal wedding. So much to do, so little time, as the old saying goes.

We’ve been spending some of our down time utilizing the Internet to our best advantage. Technology has come a long way and has been instrumental in the planning of such life changing events. The new and popular save the date cards are what we are currently checking into. 123print.com has a lot to offer and has been a valuable tool for a good part of the planning so far.

My Love Affair With Shoes and Clothing

I have a love affair with shoes and clothes. It used to drive my father right out of his mind when my mom and I would go out shopping (with his credit card of course) and come back with bags of new clothes. He would always rant and rave and insist that we put a stop to the madness, but he never took the credit card away from her. We would try and clean out our closets each spring and take a trip to the Good Will to donate what we didn’t want or need anymore. But I can honestly say that more came in the house than what would come in with us.

These days I do most of my shopping online. That is where the deals are, for the most part anyway. Since I’m a plus size woman I can find more of my sizes online rather than bouncing from one store to another looking for fashions in my size. One of my favorite online merchants offers free  Women’s Clothing Catalogues just by registering for one at their site of Simplybe.co.uk, so I always look forward to receiving their catalogue to browse through and share with some of my plus size friends.

I love their fashions and their accessories. They have just about everything that I need when I need it and would urge anyone interested in women’s plus size clothing to give them a look see for them self. I’m sure you’ll find something to get excited about there.

Keeping Up With The Times

It is amazing how the Internet has so drastically changed the way we all are conducting our business. It is so very important to keep up with the times and having the best website design possible makes all difference in the world to the numerous online merchants and businesses. There is so much to offer in ways of website design these days that it really does pay to have the job well and the job done right from the start.

I know that I have been doing most of my research and purchasing most of what I need online and if the website isn’t up to par and user friendly, I go somewhere else. It’s amazing how some of the sites that I have run across don’t even post what type of payments they accept. Like if they accept Pay Pal, Visa, Master Card, Discovery, etc. I don’t like having to dig around in order to find something out that should be on the home page to begin with. And if they offer free shipping that should be stated up front as well. It only makes sense to me to let your prospective customers see information like so that they know right from the start if your terms are appropriate for them or not.

Spam

I’m so tired of receiving so many comments that turn out to be Spam! Each time I log in here I get excited at the prospect of seeing many comments, then to find out that they are always some spammer trying to get links to their sites that 9 times out of 10 are about sex and drugs! Arg……

Hate Saying Good Bye

I stopped in at my bank today to say good bye to one of the nicest people that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. The first time we spoke I knew that I liked her and she has made my weekly trips to the bank a lot of fun. She is expecting her second child come October 30th and is leaving her job to become a full time mother. Today was her last day. I wish her all the luck in the world. I will miss her, but she did give me her email address so that we can send emails and keep in touch along with the sending of the new baby pictures now and then.

Trick or Treat!

I have always enjoyed celebrating Halloween to the fullest each year. It just dawned on me that this year I will be as big as a boat (due to the pregnancy) come the end of October, so I’ve started looking at some plus size sexy costumes that are available online. Just because I’m pregnant shouldn’t mean that I can’t still participate in the Halloween festivities that are so much fun.

I just might be able to get away with this Bettie Page Plus Size Nurse Bettie Costume that I cut and pasted below. A sweet deal for just under $40. I’m always looking for Free Shipping deals and I also look forward to using my PayPal account with my online purchases, that is a great perk to find that I try and take advantage of.

Besides going to parties during the fall, I like to dress up for the trick and treaters that always arrive at the door looking for candies and goodies to be handed out. I wonder how they will re act this year when I open up the door with a nice one of the nice sexy costumes of my choosings.  Halloween is right around the corner, the summer days are getting shorter each day, sigh…….
