About That Time

It is just about time to head off to bed. I used to stay up quite late at night but not any more. I enjoy getting a good nights rest. It helps me at work if I am rested. I know that Bill is more pleasant to be around if he is rested too. He knows that is the truth so I don't really mind him finding out I said that. :) I think most people are in a better frame of mind when they are not overly tired, don't you agree?

Acne Treatment

The adolescent years can be difficult years. For children that struggle in school or maybe have skin issues, it can be a very hard time. Now there are online courses and tutors to assist in the academic arena. There are also acne treatment products available to those needing help with their skin care. There is so much more available to us today. The internet is a vast resource of information.

Music

I find music to be exciting, relaxing, motivating, what ever it is I may be needing at that time. If I am cleaning the house I turn the music up loud and play a fast moving tune. If I am chillin on the couch, I will put the Contemporary Christian station on the TV. It relaxes me and I love the praise! Music has come so far. In the 70's and 80's there just wasn't the choices in Christian music like there is today. I am thankful for all we now have available to us.

Medical Equipment

I find that is can be difficult shopping for certain items. When I am looking for life enhancing medical equipment and supplies I know where to turn. With the online company, Allegro Medical you can find one of the largest selections in medical products. This company has been serving over a million customers in its twelve plus years of business. When going to their site it is made easy and quick to look over their product lists. Items are listed under categories and you can shop by Brand or Condition. You will also find Product guides such as Baby Products, Products to Help You Stay Cool or Guide to Wound Care Products. There is so much information available all in one website. No longer will you have to surf the net. It's a one stop site. Browse Allegro, you won't be disappointed.

Spring

Just think, it will be spring soon. I know that we have tons of snow right now but before we know it, we will be enjoying the green grass and fresh outdoors. I could personally do without winter all together. I can't think of a place that is nice all the time although I am sure that place does exist. I love spring, summer and even fall but winter is just not on my list of good things.

Butt Paste

Have you ever heard of Butt Paste? It is a creamy ointment for babies behinds. I laughed hard when I first saw this product. I thought it was a very catchy name, but still very funny. I have heard that it is a good product too. I don't know how long it has been around. I don't think it was around when our kids were little.

New York Restaurants

We are soon to be taking a trip to the big city of New York. I have heard about the newsweekly, the Village Voice. It is known for its "say it like it is" reporting and criticism. They have received the Pulitzer Prize three times. Covering politics, culture and the entertainment scene is of utmost importance. When looking into the New York Restaurants, all you will have to do is click into the www.villagevoice.com website. The quality and information is excellent. The Restaurant Review section is informative and user friendly. You can search by restaurant, cuisine, location, cost or even by special features such as delivery, private party, catering, banquet facilities, wheelchair accessible, kid friendly, vegetarian friendly and more. Go to their site and find exactly what you are looking for in a restaurant.

New Pastor

We recently got a new pastor. Tomorrow we are going to have what they call an 'installation service'. Although the pastor has officially started at our church a special speaker from the conference will be here tomorrow and be the guest speaker. I think we are going to enjoy the new pastor and his family very much.

Vacations

I love to go on vacation. Bill doesn't mind to go away but he is thinking of home as soon as we get to our destination. I am not sure if we will ever want to go away all winter or for even a couple months at a time. Many people do that I know. We enjoy our home very much, but a time to get away is very nice.

Family Vacation

Our family has always enjoyed traveling together. We have visited a variety of cities and locations. The family vacation was a wonderful time for us. It is such a great way to create unforgettable memories. Now there are the Karisma Hotels. These resorts are unique and different. Their focus is on the individual and their wants and needs. Relaxing is number one at these resorts. You can enjoy being treated like royalty in these classy, elite locations. The white-sand beaches are a breath of fresh air. They offer excellent quick service and are eager to please. You will enjoy the bar side swings, entertainment, swim-up rooms, beach beds and hammocks, hot tubs and ocean views. There is so much worth going for. You deserve that relaxing get-away. Check out the Karisma Hotels today.

Web Cam

We bought a web cam recently and find it very useful when chatting online with our kids and grand kids. I see that some of the new laptops come with built in web cams. That is a very nice feature. Our old laptop went belly up so we ordered a new one. I think the new one has the camera built in. If it does it will mean we won't have to spend on a separate one.

TV Stands

We have began moving around some furniture in our home. Our entertainment center in our family room is now located in our living room. The tv stands are appearing to fit right in with the decor of the rooms they are now positioned in. Our son is wanting a new TV stand and liked what we have been doing with our home. I told him to shop on line, he may find something.

Home Theater Seating

There are some awesome huge homes going up these days. In them you can find rooms that are set up with their very own home theater seating. I think that would be pretty cool. Most of us enjoy watching movies in our home. We own surround sound systems and some even own popcorn machines. Isn't that crazy?! I could enjoy a home theater system of my own.

Fat Burners

With the Holidays passing many find themselves dealing with those added pounds from all of those great and wonderful goodies. We are surrounded by advertising, books and programs on what is the best way to loose that unwanted weight. It may be through pills that are fat burners or an exercise program. It is important to find out what is healthiest and best for you personally. I'm looking into that for myself.

Barcode Scanners

Technology has changed so many things in life today. When shopping it is faster, easier and a money saver to click on the internet and browse for what ever it is we are searching for. In business we may be needing barcode scanners or possibly some type of software. Quickly we can find what it is we are needing and purchase it within minutes. I enjoy the progress of technology.

Sunny Days

Even though it has been very cold the sunny days recently have made winter more bearable. I try and look at things in a positive way. For example, I say winter is on the downhill slide because it is January and not October. Just think if it really was October and we were getting all this snow, ice and freezing rain. Yuk! At least in January we know that in a month or so it should start warming up. If it were October we would be thinking, oh no we have several months of winter left. See what I mean?

Promises Treatment Centers

In the past I've known people who struggle with addiction to alcohol. There are also many people who have a problem with drugs. It's a very sad situation and one that requires the help needed to get their lives back on track. That can be a very difficult thing to do though. Not only is the actual treatment hard, but the search as well. There are so many facilities out there, yet no one place is right for everyone.

In browsing the web, I did happen to come across Promises Treatment Centers though, and from what I found they can sure help a lot of people in a way that other centers may not be able to. They offer a 12 step process which includes different modalities to meet the needs of various people. I think this is great!!

If you'd like to learn more about Promises and the way they can help you or someone you know with addiction recovery or a drug problem....head over to their site for more information. There you'll find information on their program, their centers, their staff and so much more.

Golf

Bill is already talking about golf. It is only January but he has cleaned his golf clubs and has been swinging them in the basement. I think that is a bit overboard but he loves the game. He got me out on the course a couple times last year and I have to admit that I enjoyed it too. Not as much as he did though. Jake is learning to love it just as much I think. I guess that isn't such a bad thing to enjoy.

Better Beef

There is a farmer in our area that raises all natural, organic beef. I don't know that I can taste the difference but it is very good and it is supposed to be better for you. We had purchased some from him last year and were pleased so we ordered again this year. Most of the meat is hamburger but we will also have some roasts and steaks. It is handy to go to the freezer instead of the store.

New Car

Jake had bought a different car this past year. He really enjoyed it, but as a sports car it really didn't handle well in the winter. It was a rear wheel drive car and just couldn't cut it in the snow and ice. A week ago he traded his little sports car in for an all wheel drive car. We haven't seen it in person yet but it sounds beautiful. It has lots of bells and whistles to go along with a great look. We have seen the pictures that Jake sent to us. He now has no trouble getting to work through ice and snow.

Bridesmaid Gifts

A few years ago I had both my daughter and my son surprise me and said that they were getting married just one week a part. Needless to say there was a lot to be done. For months we worked on the details of both weddings. Weddings can bring stress and financial burden. Now with the Knot Wedding Shop you can find a vast selection of wedding supplies. Whether its bridesmaid gifts, wedding cameras, cake toppers, personalized gifts or other wedding supplies, this site has so much to offer. You will also find that they have amazing prices and the hard to find items. Be sure and check out this awesome wedding site to bring your special day together.

Bath Time


Our Grand children do not get much opportunity to be together. Over Christmas time they got to spend over a week playing and staying together. Bath time was one of their favorite times. They were all smiles and could have stayed in the tub forever I think. They are very cute to watch.

Weight Loss Products

Well, the holiday season is over and time to get serious. It seems that from Thanksgiving until after New Years all we did was eat and eat some more. Now we need to think about loosing some weight. That's not a fun thought. There are many weight loss products on the market today. It takes some research to see what might be safe for our individual needs. I'm going to start with cutting back and exercising.

Cousins


Isn't family great?! Our grand children Kaelyn and Emry don't have the opportunity to be together very often. Our son lives states away from us all. So at Christmas time the kids got to have some fun. They are so cute together. They were hanging out and talking to one another. Talking in the way that they know how. They are only 14 mos. old. It was great fun to have them together.

Hottest Products

The Internet is an amazing resource, but sometimes I find that it's a little overwhelming...especially when it comes to finding things that I need or am looking for. As I was browsing for children's products for my two Grandbabies, I happened to come across http://www.hottestproducts.net/. I didn't know quite what to expect at first, but after searching further found it to be a very useful site!! They basically offer online reviews for all products and services online. It's perfect for people like me who don't have the time to be searching the web for answers to my questions about the products I'm looking to buy.

Whether it's children's products, cat resources, or even Guides to Manage a Restaurant....they have it all at the click of a button. It may sound like a lot of information on one site, but the fact that they have it laid out so nicely helps a lot. If you'd like to learn more about Hottest Products, head over to their site today.

Looking forward to tomorrow!

I'm sure looking forward to tomorrow. Jen has a dentist appointment here in town...so Grammy gets to babysit Kaelyn. She's so much fun and I can't wait. Bill and I just can't get enough of our Grandkids...they're the best! I'm excited to spend the morning with her. I think she and Jen will hang out some after her appointment which will be nice too. We'll get some lunch and just enjoy each other's company. Not too many days are we able to do that, so I'm definitely looking forward to it!

Balloons


Why is it you can buy expensive toys for children and they will still be drawn to the simple things in life? Our grandchildren seemed to have more fun with the balloons we had and the boxes. They carried the balloons all over the house and loved to climb in and out of the bigger boxes. They spent some time with their toys also.

Emry


Our kids from Texas were here for a week. Our grandson Emry is one and we haven't seen him much over the past year. It was sure good to have them home. Grammy and Emry were hanging out in our pajamas one night. It was great to spend time with them. We played and ate and played some more. Emry keeps a later schedule then I do. I had to go to bed and see him in the morning. :) I hope we can see them very soon.

Mac Memory

My son has a Mac computer. He absolutely loves it! It is actually his second Mac computer. He has recently bought more Mac memory for this one. He works continually on his computer and needs to have enough storage space and working capacity. Since he was young he has always had such an interest in the computer and the internet. What a mind he has and he enjoys his Mac.

New Business

Well, the new year is here! 2008 has brought some hard times for some. With the economy in the shape that it is at the present time and loss of jobs, people are searching for new beginnings. Some may choose to start over. With small business opportunities available on line, a person only has to click and see what he might do. They have so much that you may need. With custom rubber stamps and more, you will have a great start. It is made easier and quicker then ever. Don't give up. Research is available for you! Look into a brighter new year!
