Theresa called me the other night and said that Terry was having a problem with one of his cars and he needed to look at automotive lifts so he could get his car up off the ground to work on it.  He has a great garage/shop, equipped with just about everything, except for a lift.  She said he was having some problems with the exhaust system.

She said that he has now gotten into motorcycle racing as well and was looking at motorcycle lifts so he could work on the bike more efficiently too.  I asked her where she was going to find the money for these things.  She said probably their income tax refund.   I am so glad that my husband prefers to watch the racing instead of participate in it.   I could not afford him then.

He is not big on shopping, as most men are not, and he is a very busy contractor and really did not have the time to take her. There was a Target located about 40 miles away, and he didn’t want to drive that far to go shopping, gas prices being what they are, and now he had no excuses not to go, so he agreed he would take her.  It happened to be raining this particular weekend, and his crew was unable to work in the rain, so this freed up his weekend to take his daughter shopping.

So she finally got to go to the new Target store.    The gift card she had received was for one hundred dollars, which is a lot of money to a 10 year old.  She made a list of all the things she wanted to purchase and off to the new Target they went.

She was only able to get about half of the things on her list, one hundred dollars does not go as far as a 10 year old imagines that it does, even when you are shopping at a great discount store like Target.  She was able to get some new clothes, so that she could wear what all the kids were wearing these days, you know how kids are.  And she was even able to get some new jewelry and a new purse; she had to have the latest and the greatest.   Then there was the MP4 player and a few CD’s she wanted too.  She certainly got a whole lot for her money that day.  I was impressed.

He is a very busy person what with a full time job, classes and study time, and needed a place where he could order online and have them shipped directly to him.

I asked around my circle of friends and I directed him to try http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Men/.  I told him that I have another male nurse friend who uses this website all the time and recommended it highly.  He told me that they have inexpensive uniforms as well as any other supplies and accessories you might need.

I am happy to say that he visited the website and is now a satisfied customer.

I was carrying boxes in from the truck when one of our new neighbors stopped by to say hello. He’s a nice guy name Micah. He lives across the street and down a couple of houses – I can barely see his driveway from my house because of the hill. But it was nice of him to stop in and introduce himself. That gives me a good feeling about living here.

My dad died from cancer back in the 1980′s, when I was just in my 20′s. I feel cheated out of having a dad as an adult. I loved him so much and I’m so proud of him for having served in the Navy.

Why do all the rock and roll type of songs suck? I don’t like anything they play on the rock stations anymore.

For some reason, I really like the new country songs. The artists like Randy Houser and Gary Allen are sexy and funny and the kinds of songs that you can just bop along to while driving in traffic.
