Fun In The Sun Come Summer

I would really enjoy being able to take a week off, or even just a long 3 or 4 day weekend and hit the beach this summer. I’ve been wanting to find a good deal at one of the nicer Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotels that I’ve heard so much about. I figure if my tax refund is decent and I can get a few friends together then I just might be able to swing it. I love the beach and everything that goes along with it. The sun, the water, the board-walk, the food, and the night life, it’s all good and it’s been too long since I’ve been able to enjoy something of that nature.

The Internet will certainly help me find the right Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotel, one that is priced for what I can afford and be easily accessible to the beach. I’ve heard good things about the SeaSide, which is located in the North part of Myrtle Beach, so I’m going to start my search there. It shouldn’t be too hard to find a good quality Myrtle Beach Hotel if I start early enough. So I guess after Christmas is all over and done with I’ll have some time to start looking around to see what types of deals I can come up with!

The Big Event after Christmas is Done and Over With

Once the Christmas and New Year’s holiday is over and done with we gals at work can get back to the planning of Carol’s big wedding that we are all involved in. We haven’t had such a big event in a few years and we are all enjoying acting as one big wedding planner for her, a joint effort that has us busy as bees, at least until we had all this snow and Christmas being in just a few short days.

I’ve never been to a Catholic wedding, so a lot of this is over my head but several of the other gals have either been to one or had one when they were married, so there was no need to hire a Catholic Wedding Planner. There is so much involved with planning a big event such as this. They have over 300 people to send invitations out to and they expect the majority of them to attend.

We have until May to get everything done and ready. We all have Internet access at work, that has made a big difference in the planning. We have been exchanging ideas and information from several wonderful wedding planning sites. Our favorite has been Planningelegance.com and The Knot wedding information site at Theknot.com is great and keeps us coming back for more and more, it’s all good!

Pole Dancing

I’ve always wanted to take pole dance lessons. One of my friends was looking around online to find out if there were any places that we could take these type of classes at and she found this hilarious video that I just had to share here.  I’m sure you’ll get a kick out of it just as I have!

Amazing Weather

I just got off the phone with my sister, who only lives one state south of me. I’m here freezing my buns off and she is sitting on her front porch enjoying a nice weather evening. I really need to move south from here. I hate the cold weather.

Old Friends

I ran into an old friend the other day when I was at the mall doing a bit of Christmas shopping. I haven’t seen her in such a long time, we had a lot to catch up on with each other. We decided to stop and grab a bite to eat at the food court. The place was a mad house and we were lucky to find an empty table to sit at. Funny how we both really enjoy Chinese food and so Panda Express got our money for the day.

She has worked hard to become an insurance agent and is doing very well considering how the economy is in such a mess. Turns out that she is happily married with two kids and another on the way, due in June. She leads a busy life, to be sure.

Before parting ways, we exchanged phone numbers and emails so that we can keep in touch. She gave me a few of her business cards in case I could come up with any insurance leads to send her way. I’d be happy to do what I can for her, I mean what are friends for anyway? I love running into people that I haven’t seen in a long time.

Yoplait

I love yogurt. StrawberryBanana is my favorite flavor and the best brand that offers that flavor is Yoplait. I find myself eating more and more of it these days,which is a good thing. I can think of much worse things to eat, at least it helps with my calcium intake which I need to watch for. I want and need strong bones.

It’s Every Where!

This Swine Flu is really kicking some butt these days. It seems that everyone that I talk with knows some body that has been infected with this virus and the stories aren’t generally good stories. There is a shortage of the vaccines and people are rushing the places that are offering the shots. It’s just crazy!

Don’t Pay Full Price

I try and make a habit out of not paying full price for anything. And I have been doing more and more purchasing products online. I can tell you that you will not be seeing me at the mall or Walmart for any of my holiday shopping this season. Online is the way to go these days. With all the free shipping offers, instant cash back, coupon and promotion codes that are available to the growing population of online shoppers, like myself, it only makes sense. Nothing like getting in a bad mood while tending to all of the shopping that is needed for all the holiday preparations. It can take all the Christmas cheer right out of a body in no time.

I’ve found myself running low on the ink cartridges for my printer and of course I immediately went online and found some decent OfficeDepot.com coupon codes that I’m going to take advantage of this pay day. I found these coupon codes at bestonlinecoupons.com, they have over 1,500 online merchants that are always offering promotions for online shopping. I use promos from Target, Best Buy, Old Navy, LL Bean and Overstock.com quite a bit and I’m sure I’ll be checking them even more as the holidays approach.

Technology and Christmas Shopping!

Being in the customer service field can be a challenge, as so many of us know that deal with the public day in and day out. Since I have to provide excellent customer service, I expect to get the best in return and can be an aggressive consumer if needed. I don’t hesitate to call a manager and complain, but on the other side of the coin, I’ll be the first to turn to a supervisor and give an “atta boy” to some one that goes the extra mile and makes me a happy customer.

With technology so heavily emerged into our daily lives, it can make a customer service rep’s tough job even tougher when you can’t get a piece of equipment to work. At the mall the other day I witnessed a sales rep(in training) in one of the kiosks that was having issues learning all the equipment that she needed to use in order to check out her customer. The customer was getting uptight and the new kid was getting flustered big time. I felt so sorry for him, been there done that before!

I noticed that he was trying to use the same Motorola-Symbol MC 5574 handheld mobile computer that I use at work. Too bad that his manager didn’t see fit to help him out of the jam that he was finding himself him. Computers are wonderful if you know how to use them. The holiday season in right around the corner. There will be a lot of new sales assistants working the Christmas holiday shopping season. We all need to be patient and keep the faith, ’tis the season to be jolly!

Today’s Military

My friend who has a son in the military once in a while sends me photos of our troops over in the Middle East. It’s good to know that they can keep a sense of humor while living in hellish conditions.
