That place was absolutely amazing. It was way out in the woods and the house was humongous! The place was brand new and made out of logs. The driveway itself was a mile long. Well time to head home and see where the next place was.

I got right onto the computer looking at the Zip-codes search to see how far away the next delivery was. I was not at all prepared for what I saw! Six hours away! Oh no! I just want to get this over with. I only have two deliveries after this for the month. I just want it to be over.

This past week has been kind of rough on everybody at the finance company I work. The problem was that the previous branch manager had left the accounting in the branch in shambles and the company had sent an auditor to see what was going on in the branch. I felt like I and all the other employees were somehow guilty of something. It was very disturbing to me. One nice thing happened on Thursday. One of the girls in the front office received some Mothers Day Flowers at her desk. She was very happy to get such a beautiful bunch of flowers from her husband.

After I visited my friend in the hospital, I knew I wanted to become a nurse. When I graduated from high school, I started looking into attending nursing school, and there were no openings at any of the colleges near me. One of the career counselors told me that I should become an lvn online, and that I would finish the program before being accepted to their own nursing program! I found the program that she recommended, and I signed up. I was able to take my courses at my convenience, and it was affordable. I completed a preceptorship in a hospital, and now I work in the medical unit.

The recent longevity phenomena can be in due part of Dr Oz. Resveratrol is the supplement he suggests for living well in to our second century of life. The doctor has been researching many different longevity techniques and practices. His recent travel to the blue zones helped him make some interesting discoveries. He noticed that most of the people living in these “zones” do several things in common. One thing you may want to do and this is obviously the most important, is physical exercise. If you don’t exercise, whenever your body starts to go through something physical, it has a hard time adjusting.

What adult doesn’t remember the excitement of Easter?  My memories of this special holiday are filled with thoughts of colored eggs, chocolates, new clothes, Sunday services, and most importantly, the Easter Bunny.  My dad always put on a costume and hopped out from behind the barn.  All of us knew it was him, but we played along.  Secretly we were afraid if we didn’t pretend we thought it was the real guy, he would stop doing it.  Those years are long past, but now we are making different memories with our kids.  I only hope we can make their childhoods as memorable and eventful as ours were.   

At last week’s community Association meeting many topics were covered. The biggest concern for everyone attending was the proposed rate increase in the homeowners association fees. The reason for this increase was for the increased cost of maintaining both the Jacuzzi and the pool area. Another topic that was explored was the expanding of the community kitchen at the clubhouse next to the pool. Everybody on the committee has looked at a Built in Microwave Buying Guide to ascertain the best microwaves to put in the kitchen. The microwaves in the kitchen right now are over eight years old and needed to be replaced.

I have always been nervous around salespeople.  One too many pushy sellers has left me with a bad taste for the whole wheeling and dealing process.  That is why this new type of real estate marketing is perfect for me.  Having a text sent to my cell with pertinant information allows me to think it over in privacy:  without an expectant agent staring at me.  After I get the text, I can take my time in deciding if the house is something that interests me.  Once I have made my choice, it is simple to contact the agent and set up an appointment.  This is no pressure sales at it’s finest! 

Doesn’t it seem kind of silly that Obama is going around peddling solar panels when he doesn’t even use them himself? If he was smart he would be using the solar panels himself! At least that’s what I say.

I wonder if that would work? I know the weather in DC isn’t always great but today’s solar panels are so efficient they work no matter where you live and what kind of weather you may have. You don’t need California sunshine to have effective solar panels.

Let’s all write the President and tell him he needs to install solar panels on his home!

My husband and I were finally able to purchase our dream home last year and we are so happy now that we have finally moved in. We wanted to renovate the house before moving in so it has been about six months of waiting. We finished up by putting in the most beautiful clawfoot bathtubs I have ever seen in both of the bathrooms. After we were all moved in the first thing that I did was take a long hot bath in one of those tubs. It was like sinking into heavenly bubbles and I will be doing that every night from now on for sure.
