The last buying spree
Friday, January 13th, 2012 | Author:

Since Christmas is over, I have been on one last buying spree. I am taking advantage of all the last minute sales at the local stores. I have come across some pretty good deals and have been filling out the items that were forgotten during Christmas.

I think that this is a good thing as many stores are trying to get rid of the merchandise they have before the new year sets in. there are no losers during this period and everyone wins.

I was walking down the street the other day when I happened to notice a pretty girl coming the other way. As I am always interested when a pretty girl comes along, I started a conversation with her. She said she had just gotten off the bus and was on her way home. I knew I wanted to talk with her some more and so I spoke about the uniform she had on. She looked like she was a nurse or something.

She told me that she had just gotten off from work at the hospital. She works as a nurse and takes care of patients. Since I had commented on her clothes, she told me more about them. She said she bought the clothes online from a site called http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/. She liked the site because they sold nursing uniforms at a cheap price. She also liked the styles of clothes they had.

She said that when it comes to medical scrubs, this site had it all. They have a wide selection as well as low prices and they deliver the clothes to your home. The conversation quickly ended as she had to go but I still remember what she said. It’s nice to meet new people and broaden your outlook on life.

Aunt Sherry
Friday, July 15th, 2011 | Author:

One of the favorite people in my life is my aunt sherry. She is so wonderful in many ways and it’s always a joy to see her. I was in her neighborhood and decided to drop by for a few words. She was thrilled to see me and we talked for a good while. One item that came up was her work. She is a nurse and takes care of people all day. It can be a demanding job, but she does it well.

One thing that sets her apart from all the other nurses is her attire. She orders her scrub sets from a site called http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/. They have a wide variety of clothes and I think she has most of them. She likes them because they are colorful as well as comfortable. They are a good value and last for a long time. That’s important to her as she needs to save her money for her retirement.

Aunt sherry and I finished our talk and I had to leave soon. It was great seeing her and it was hard to go out the door. I knew I would a plate of goodies to take home with me for the family. I am looking forward to the next time I see her and I am sure many other people feel the same.

The New Xoom
Tuesday, April 19th, 2011 | Author:

From what I hear, the new tablets are all the rage. No one seems to be interested in buying desktop computers any more, and now even laptops may become obsolete if the tablets perform as well as promised.

Of course, Apple Computer introduced the concept with their iPad, but other companies have recently come out with their own designs. The Motorola Xoom is priced competitively and has some additional features not provided on the Apple model, such as a camera function on both the front and the back of the table, and a flash on the one in the back.

The price tag seems to range between $800 and $1,200, which is the same ballpark as a good laptop. I’ll have to go to the local electronics store and see them for myself. I might want one.

Fashionable
Friday, December 04th, 2009 | Author:

Since I spend so many hours at work, there are some people that I get to know very well. One such person is my girlfriend Sandra. We get along very well and have worked together for a long time. Over the years we have become familiar with each others habits, likes, and dislikes. When her birthday was coming around, I thought I would look into getting her something special. That’s when I decided to check out the various shoe brands for women. I know her passion for shoes and thought she would enjoy having another pair.

Since we have very similar taste in clothing, I knew that if I liked a pair of shoes, she probably would as well. When I saw a pair of australia boots, I knew I had found a winner. The boots were a big hit with her and I was glad to make her birthday special. I know she would do the same for me as she had in the past. We make a great team.

I had thought about some other items to get her such as a nice little outfit that I had found in a Victoria’s Secret store, but decided against it in the end. I don’t want her to think we are quite that close. In the end, I was happy to have helped Sandra with keeping up with the latest fashions and that was enough for me.
