Scrubs For The Summer

As you know I am looking for some new clothes to wear for the hot summer months. As much as I love summer, the heat is becoming harder and harder to tolerate, so it is getting harder to find clothes to wear that keep me cooler while still looking at least half way decent out in public. My sister just gave me a great idea about wearing some of the scrubs uniforms that so many of our medical people have been wearing and enjoying for years now. They are indeed coming out with some pretty cool scrub uniforms these days, so I’m taking her recommendation and have gone to blue sky scrubs website and ordered a couple sets of them to try out.

Of course I took advantage of the sets that they currently have on sale. The colors are all good colors for me to wear so it wasn’t a problem finding some that I think will do the trick quite nicely. I like that they have free returns and exchanges for all orders and that you can get free shipping with orders of $155 or more, which I just barely qualified for, but I did it!

Time For Exercise

I find myself anxious to spend more and more time outside lately. I had promised that I would start going for more walks when the weather broke so it looks like I’ve got some walking to do. I do want to go online and find a good pair of Shoes that would be good to walk in. I’m sure that I could find a good deal if I just took a little bit of time and did some searching some evening on my handy dandy laptop.

I have a pair of Sneakers that are still in good shape, but I’m not sure if I would be doing any justice to my feet, legs, back, etc buy wearing them that much. I might as well look for a good pair of Running Shoes while I’m at it. I don’t intend to keep walking for very long. I really want to start running again, but I have to start some where.

Buying shoe online doesn’t have to be a hassle. I found a great buying guide and plenty of tips for shoes online that I found to help set my mind at ease about ordering footwear via the Internet. I’m pretty good at finding good deals with reputable companies online. I’ll keep you posted………

What Are You Wearing When You Are Learning Online?

I’m finding it to be true that more and more people are turning to furthering their education, because of the economy issues that have taken such a strong hold on the majority of us common folk and a good amount of them are doing this online at places like the Walden University. From what I can gather WaldenU.edu seems to be the first choice of so many folks that I personally know to be taking advantage of these online classes from the comfort of their own PC, leaving the decision of when and where they do their work completely up to them. Being able to be learning while still in your pajamas seems to be a adverting gimmick for online schools. This makes my warped mind wonder how many are learning in the nude!

I can’t help wonder if all of these people would be back sitting in a more formal classroom in order to keep their heads above water during these extremely rocky years if these online classes were not so readily available. I can only imagine how full and/or overflowing today’s classrooms would be if not for today’s technology making it so much easier to obtain this very important education that has become necessary for so many people to obtain in today’s very competitive world.

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.

No Socks For Men and No Stockings For Women

What is going on here guys? I keep seeing men on TV that appear to not be wearing any socks and it just looks so gross. Are they really not wearing any socks or are they wearing see through knee high hose? A few months ago I was watching a TV show “Millionaire Match Maker” and I remember hearing the match maker tell one of the ladies in waiting to take her panty hose off because they are not in fashion any more. So I guess it is men and women that are changing what they wear on their feet and legs and I don’t like it one bit.

Mars and Venus

They say that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. I have not read that book but I get the concept.

Here’s a snapshot of the two scarecrows that I made last year. I made one of the boy scarecrows into a girl by adding lipstick and eyelashes with marker pens. Then I cut off the straw bow tie from around her neck and stuck it under her hat to make bangs.

So my ex husband came over and took a look at the curb to take a look at my handiwork. I thought I was pretty clever with my “gender change” techniques. He took one look at the two scarecrows and this is what he said, “Can’t you stick something down her shirt so she has boobs?”

Family Fun, Back in the Day

I remember when my little sister announced her pregnancy to the family. The first of us girls to start their own family, what an exciting time that was. We couldn’t wait to hold her a baby shower, shopping for a new baby is such good clean fun. It turned into one big family affair!

We even had fun taking her shopping for maternity clothes. Back then we had the Internet, but we didn’t use it much for shopping such as we do these days, so we would hit all the malls on the week ends looking for the latest fashions for our sister who was rapidly gaining weight and really needed some maternity clothes that would keep her comfortable, while keeping her in style, looking all cute and trendy. She was tired of wearing just the loose fitting clothes that we had gathered up for her to wear at her beginning of the pregnancy.

If we had only had the Internet at our finger tips we could have found an unlimited amount of unique and cool looking maternity clothes, like what can be found at kikisfashions.com  but it was just as well as it wouldn’t have been as much fun as what we experienced back then.

Now how cute is this? Found at Kiki’s Fashions.
