Popular Birthday Months

With some of the tax money that I have finally gotten back from the IRS I will be able to purchase a few birthday gifts that are needed for the busy birthday month of May. May and September are popular months for so many of my friends and family for some reason. With the month of March coming in third place. I didn’t have much cash (and I’m not using my credit cards for presents) in March, so it will feel good to be able to have a few bucks to make sure that the folks that celebrate their birthday in May will be happy with me this year.

My brother has been talking about position indicators, so I thought I would look around online and see what is out there. My mother is hinting at needing new drinking glasses. I have all ready found the perfect ones that I am going to order this weekend. My niece is a whole different issue. I still can’t figure out the perfect gift for her. Tweens are so difficult to buy for. Besides she is spoiled rotten and is given any and every thing that she needs and wants. One of lives many challenges when it comes to buying appropriate gifts that will be appreciated.

Atlanta Georgia 55 Community

For so many years our senior citizens have flocked to Florida for a variety of reasons, the warm weather being the biggest draw. But with all things good there are some bad things. With this warm weather comes, bugs and other critters that enjoy the heat and humidity down in the Land of Sunshine. As well as the hurricanes that seem to love causing havoc all over that part of the country.

Then our seniors started heading to Arizona and New Mexico. That was a huge success, but so far away for so many folks. Then all of a sudden the Carolinas, both north and south became the popular destinations, but I fear they are filling up and now we are seeing an increase of folks heading to the beautiful state of Georgia. My folks are looking at a particular Atlanta 55 Community, which sounds promising for all concerned. I don’t really know a lot about the state of Georgia, but will start digging further online to find out more so I am more familiar with the area.

It will be so weird for my parents to be living so far south from here, but we all knew that it would happen in due time.

Today’s Gift Baskets, A Great Gift Idea!

I’ve come up with a perfect gift giving idea to present my manager with at work on Friday. She is turning fifty and we have been planning a surprise party for her for the past several weeks, it should be a blast. Surprise parties are the best, especially when they really turn out to be a real surprise, which I think we have been able to pull off so far.

My manager and her husband are the proud parents of a new baby girl, so they don’t get to go out as often as they are used to being able to do, so I found a great selection of movie gift baskets on the Internet that I think will really float her boat and that they will both enjoy together.

She had the baby shortly before Mother’s Day, so we all started looking online at some nice Mothers day gift baskets to take over to her (being the new mom and all) and her new family, which was a big hit and earned us all brownie points, it was a success and  worked out real well. She is a great lady and we want to keep her happy, which will keep us all happy in the long run.

Plastic Surgery

It is amazing what cosmetic surgeons can do with a body these days. One day I would really like to get a nose jog. Nothing major, just a little minor adjustment so that I wouldn’t be so self conscience about it for the rest of my life. My whole family has nose issues, so I got mine honestly, but it doesn’t mean that I have to like it.

I’ve been looking at some Before and After Photos online lately, trying to get my courageup and getting some ideas and price ranges. The Internet makes something like this a much simpler task and it has an educational as well as entertaining experience thus far.

Printed Envolopes Discovery

It hurts the whole family to see my mother and stepfather’s business going under worse and worse with each coming month. They have an appointment with a lawyer to discuss their options and bankruptcy is one of the options that is leaving a bad taste in everyone’s mouth. My mother worked her fingers to the bone for their mail and packaging store, before their health started declining and of course the economy being still in such turmoil has made it all too much for her to handle much more of.

I have been going down to their store for the past couple of months at least once a week to help out in any numerous ways that are needed. I’m real good at getting other peoples stuff sorted and organized, so I have been doing as much as that as I can. I have been discovering things that I had no idea about and stuff that they had completely forgotten about throughout the years. I found two boxes of their envelope prints that they got such a good deal online a few years about and then forgot all about, so now that I have uncovered them they are thinking of ways to put them to good use as soon as possible.

Womens Ski Jackets

A few months ago, a girlfriend of mine I work with was thinking about both of us going to Maine for a week for the past year or so, and stay at a ski resort and learn how to ski and or snowboard together. I thought it was a great idea, we were both in need of a vacation after a long hard year. We did come across a problem while planning our vacation though. Both of us needed a warm, thick, but stylish ski jackets, but neither of us knew where we could find any Womens Ski Jackets at a good price. So both of us took a night off after work from our busy lives, to sit down at the computer and search the net to see if we could come across any deals or good buys.

It didn’t take long at all for us to find the perfect site that we both really liked. Neither of us could decide which jacket to pick, they were all such great quality for such an awesome price.  We ended up randomly picking one they suited both of our personalities. It was immediately shipped to our homes and when I opened my package I was amazed at how nice it really was. We were both very satisfied with the results of our search. Our new jackets kept us warm and cozy couldn’t be any happier with our choice of ski jackets for us awesome trip to Maine and long after.

Invitation Designing and Printing

A favorite cousin of mine is going to college to become a graphic designer and has been wanting experience as to how to print out. She came over to my house the other night during our family and friend get together and she was talking to us about her knowledge she soaked up from college, when all of a sudden everyone paused and turned to the center of the back deck and heard my brother finally propose to his now fiance. Shortly after everyone congratulating them on their new engagement, my brother had asked our cousin if she could help someone to customize their wedding invitations since shes attending school for just that. Needless to say she was up for the task and so excited to start looking for a printing business that she could maybe have a helping hand in creating.

She called me over to help her look online for any great deals, since two pairs of eyes are better then one. Being that she lives only a few houses down the road I walked over and sat down at her desk with her beside me and we started our search. It didn’t take long at all to find great wholesale printers to where she could do it herself but she ended up just designing their wedding invitations. My brother and soon to be sister in law are so please with the invitation design she had come up with.

You Go Girl!

My niece has always been very prepared for any physical threat that comes her way. I honestly can’t blame her tho, she used to assist in self defense classes with children and had picked up the habit of carrying a can of mase in her purse along the way, after hearing some terrifying stories of brutal beatings due to the lack of defense skills and mechanisms. Lately she’s been talking about possibly of purchasing a hand gun or even a stun gun for extra protection due to some peoples tolerance to mas.

So I thought we would search around on the net and try to find some affordable stun guns so that no matter what situation, nobody gets shot by a gun and possibly result in death. She thought it was a great idea, so we pursued the search. We came across a few standard stun guns that didn’t strike her attention. We kept on with the search, until she stopped me on a site that offered great quality and affordable safety girl stun guns. She pointed out one in particular that she really wanted so we ordered it and she is now constantly shooting the practice target poster board that came with her stun gun. She tells me she is feeling more confident of her and her loved ones safety now that she has her own stun gun. I’m down with that, you go girl!

So Many Types Of Jeans To Pick From

Years ago I was a big fan of Levi jeans. I wouldn’t even consider buying a different brand of jeans. I liked the way that Levis fit me. I liked the different styles of boot cut and straight legs, the midrise and low-rise, and my favorite jean of all time was the Levi 501 button fly jeans. I haven’t seen the Levis 501 jeans in years. They have a line of jeans now that they call 501s, but they have a zipper fly with extra buttons just for the look. The original 501 used the buttons to actually close your fly – not just look pretty or nostalgic.

It always amazes me how many brands and styles of jeans that are being manufactured every day to try and find their way into the hearts and the pocket books of  today’s jean wearers. Something that used to be so easy to run in and grab right off of the shelve can now take hours looking, comparing and trying on all the various jeans that are available these days.

I have mainly been wearing men’s jeans for years now. They are so much more comfortable all the way around than the ones made for the female gender. The pockets are deeper, you can get the right length regardless of your waist size and they just feel so much better to wear, not as restraining I guess is the right way to explain it. So it can really take a long time to find the perfect jeans considering I have the ladies section and the men’s section to check out.
