All I Want For Christmas

Hard to believe that Christmas is only a month away, it seems as if we just took down all of the holiday decorations just a few short months ago, now we have to put them up all over again. It takes a lot of time, work and effort each year to get ready for the big day on December 25th and each year we end up buying more items that we just can’t live without to make our houses look festive and welcoming.

My folks have all ready been sending out emails asking what each of us would like for our Christmas presents this year. They always buy the best presents out of anyone I know, they aren’t struggling for money and are willing to purchase items that most people wouldn’t dream of buying some one for Christmas. Like last year I really needed a new stove and I didn’t have the cash to buy a new one, so they bought one of the top of line Jen Air models for me and I couldn’t be happier. And my brother had his heart set on a new roll tonneau cover for his new Ford Pick Up so they made sure that he got the one that he wanted that year. My sister on the hand wanted a new Harley Davidson, but my parents aren’t that generous and she is still moaning and groaning about that.

I have to put my thinking cap on this year to give them some ideas to choose from, it’s really strange that I’m having a hard time coming up with something that I really want or need. That doesn’t happen very often, I can tell you that! I have a week or so to mull it over and come up with some suggestions, I’m sure I’ll figure something out to tell them.

Witches on Brooms

Tonight I checked the sky for witches on brooms. Didn’t see any and I wonder what I would have done if I had seen a witch!

Actually I am intrigued with witches and witchcraft. I know of several women who say they are good witches and they don’t really make a big deal about it around us. I say if they have any powers to help people and they don’t cause any harm, then they should be able to do whatever they want to do without being harassed or persecuted.

So, if you are a witch – have a Happy Halloween!

Share The Road

I have always had a lot of respect for truckers. Certainly not a job that I could handle. My brother-in-law started driving an 18 wheeler 5 two years ago and always has the most interesting stories to share about his life on the road as I’m sure all truckers do. I was surprised to find out that most truckers don’t use CB radios anymore since cell phones and the Internet came along. He explains that now a days the majority of the people who even use a CB radio are the drug dealers and the lot lizards that are looking for “a date” for the evening (or at anytime really, truckers are found on the road all hours of the day and night, every day of the week.

My sister has no interest in going out of the road with him, not even for just a local run that would have her home in plenty of time to deal with all the other things that keep working women so busy 24/7. I’d love to go on a road trip with him. He is a good guy with a wicked good sense of humor that doesn’t get on my last nerve as quickly as so many other people do.

Digging The Deals At Musician Friend

Paying under $300 for a decent Fender guitar is a good deal, if you ask me. Since no one is asking me I took it upon myself to look at what the musician friend website has to offer their shoppers these days. Check out this cutie! I just might be buying myself a Christmas present this year after all!

Yogi Bear

I have been wanting to see the Yogi Bear movie for several years now. So this weekend a girlfriend of mine and I going to the mall, doing some shopping (using some of the gift cards that we got for way back at last Christmas) and then we are going to watch Yogi Bear and his side kick Boo Boo. I used to love watching the Yogi Bear cartoons while growing up so I’m a real fan of Yogis and I can only hope that this movie does him justice.

Fender Jazzmaster 62

Hard to believe that there is much difference between one guitar pickguard or another, but after looking at this fender jazzmaster 62 tortoiseshell pickguard online at Guitar Center’s website I feel a bit more educated on the subject. I’m sorry but I have never gotten into playing the guitar, or any musical instrument for that matter. Making music just wasn’t in the cards for me, nor is singing or even able to carry a tune. For me it has always been about the dance. Poetry in motion has always been my motto!

I am trying to be pro active and getting a bit of holiday shopping before it gets all too overwhelming for me and I start to panic. The holidays are always stressful for me, so many people to buy gifts for and so many people to try and make happy all in the name of Santa Claus!

Flash Mob

I have always enjoyed watching the Flash Mob videos that would pop up once in a while on the TV. I can’t believe that it didn’t even occur to me that I could Google “Flash Mob” and come up with plenty of these hilarous Flash Mob videos that I so enjoy seeing. I really wish that I could participate in something like this, so today I am Googling “Flash Mob” and see if I can find any that I haven’t seen all ready and see if I can find information on how to be a participant in something like that.

Wish me luck and if anyone out there knows how to get involved in a Flash Mob, please let me know. I’m having issues with getting videos from YouTube on here, it’s really starting to piss me off and I can’t seem to find anyone that can help me find out what is different now and how to fix it. I really wanted to post my favorite “Flash Mob” video on here entitled “Frozen Grand Central” it is a perfect example of so many people getting together and doing something just for the sake of messing with people’s minds! Gotta love it!!!!!

Girl Games, A Long Time A Coming

I’m so glad that they have finally come up with more girl games. For the longest time most of the video games were targeted to the male species and a big push was made to make more girl games available. It took a while but it is now obvious when you look on the shelves at the gaming stores.

I took my niece out to the local Game Stop store last weekend. She had received numerous gift cards from Game Stop, by her request of course and wanted to go purchase some new games for her Wii. I enjoy taking her out shopping, I don’t rush her and she is relaxed and has a chance to take it all in and make wise decisions. When she goes with her mother it is rush rush and let’s keep it moving, which isn’t fun at all when there is so much to take in, ya know.

Not only are there more video girl games, but there are a lot more girl games online these days as well such as are offered at easygirlgames dot com. My niece is the perfect ages for most of the games. She will be turning 10 next month and is still into Barbies, Unicorns and Bratz, big time. Hard to imagine that she will be a teen-ager in a few short years and who knows how that will all play out!

The Medical Field

We have all heard that the medical field will always be in need for good qualified people and that people are flocking back to school in order to further their education and get into various medical fields. After all the classes and training are done and over with comes the interviewing process. That is part that always throws me for a loop, I just really suck at interviewing, so I’m glad that my employment is pretty stable and hopefully I won’t have to worry about interviewing any time soon.

I do know that the Internet can be a very valuable tool in this area. You can go online and find consultant interview questions to give you a clue on what you should be ready for, so that is a plus, we could all use a head’s up from time to time. There are sites that can provide you will a consultant interview course, like the ones being offered at Medicalinterviewsuk.co.uk. They offer their services online to anyone interested in a consultant medical interview and have a great consultant interview guide written by NHS Consultants.

I have an old family friend who moved to England several years ago and loves it. She is one of many that is trying to break into a new field due to the economy issues that are world wide. She found this site and included the link in her recent email to the family and friends that she keeps in contact with via email.

Going Green, It’s Every Where

I find it interesting that going green has become such a big issue. Don’t get me wrong, I think it is great and I try my best to do right by our Mother Earth when possible. I have always been into recycling and have turned a good amount of people onto recycling through out the years. So I am happy to see such a big push these past few years.

I was browsing online earlier today and found an interesting site that rates and reviews website hosting companies. After a few clicks I cam upon the 10 top rated Green Web Hosting companies, which really tickled me. I didn’t know that there was such a thing and was fascinated to see that these companies are doing what they can in becoming a respectable green web host.

If we all take the time to do what it takes to become greener in our every day lives, we just might have a chance in surviving a few more decades, at least I hope so!
