One thing I always like to do is too dress comfortably. I really don’t like to dress to formally as the buttons and fancy shoes tend to pinch me in the wrong places. Since I have to dress up a certain amount for work, I like to relax when I get home. A friend of mine told me about a site that has some really comfortable clothes to wear. The good thing is that it has clothes for both men and women.

The funny thing is that these comfortable clothed are actually uniforms. Isn’t that wild? They are what nurses and doctors wear to work and they are called scrubs. They come in many different styles and colors and they are surprisingly cheap. You can order them online from several different websites.

These clothes are becoming all the rage with certain people. You can look nice as well as be comfortable. Kids also like them as my daughter has some. She says many of the kids wear them as well. They go well with anything and keep you warm at night. I am thinking of getting some more and stocking my closet full of them. That way, I am certain to have whatever I need for any occasion.

One thing that is really neat about working in a large office is that I have a lot of friends. There always seems to be something going on and new things to hear about. My friend Bob was telling me about how he and his family had spent their summer vacation at an Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotel. He said they had a great time and told me more about it.

Bob has traveled to many places in his life. When it comes to finding the best places to go, I trust his judgment. When he said that Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotels were the place to be, I believed him. Bob liked the fact that the service was great and that the view of the ocean was so nice.

Bob also told me about the great time that the kids had. They went to play on the shores of the ocean and enjoyed the sunny weather. Bob was able to get in a round of golf at one of the local courses and his wife caught up on her shopping. Bob had a serious look on his face when he told me that a great vacation could be found at a Myrtle Beach Hotel. I believe everything he said was true and I am now thinking about taking my family on a trip to Myrtle Beach.

After Christmas is all done and over with I seem to find myself realizing just how much stuff comes into the house each Christmas (all year round actually) and how little ever goes back out. I think that is the case for most of us these days. If the people from just 100 years ago could see all of the material items and pieces of technology that we posses, they would be just a bit freaked out don’t you think. So many of us have so much stuff that we pay hundreds and thousands of dollar each year to store their belongings to various storage facilities. That just blows my mind.

Thank goodness I am always on the lookout for a good storage cabinet that can be placed in either the basement of the garage to help keep our “extra junk” in some what of a work in progress. I have always been careful about labeling boxes and each time I go down to try and find something I am pretty sure that I’ll find what I want in the box with the correct label. Something so simple and only takes a moment can be a time saver in the long run.

 

The family is making plans to celebrate my father’s 65th birthday come May. It promises to be a shindig  and I look forward to being there, seeing all the family that are invited and that darn well better show up along with numerous family friends that we have gotten to know and love throughout the years.

People will be coming from all over the country, even a few that are overseas are expected to make an appearance, it should be a fabulous time for all that attend.  The only problem that I see is finding the perfect gift to give to my Dad on his special day. The only thing that I can come up with is finding something boat/fishing related.

Dad has always loved boats, fishing is his passion, but he has all the fishing equipment that he could ever need or want to keep him happy with all that.  My sister has suggested that we kids all go in together and get him some of the new HID Go lights for his favorite fishing boat. He has been really talking it up about these Go lights all year and she has found a good deal on them online. If I can’t come up with any other idea’s in the next month or so I guess I’ll go ahead to commit to them, I know he will enjoy them and all, it’s just that I really wanted to do something on my own this year for some wacky reason.

My wife has been thinking about getting some new window boxes for our house this spring.  When we first bought this house it already have several window flower boxes on some of the windows and we’ve used them throughout the years to help the house looking cozy and inviting.  One of the things that she likes to do with a window box is to not just use it for traditional flowers but also to use them to decorate through out the different holiday seasons.  For example she used pine garlands and holly with small white twinkle lights in them for last Christmas. Next month you can be sure to see some type of Easter decorating going on, possibly some mini Easter Eggs and some multicolored mini twinkle lights and whatever she feels like getting into.

When she was decorating them back before Christmas, we noticed that they were starting to rot.  The old boxes are made of wood and are quite old.  So I agreed that come spring we’d replace them with some new ones.  It wasn’t until she started looking on the Internet for some new ones that I realized that there are so many different styles to choose from!  I’m going to have her pick out the ones she wants and I’ll handle the rest.
