Every time my parents come to visit, they are amazed by the technology I have in my house. Although they have cable and internet in their home, the idea that I can use a Bronx T1 to work from home and not go in to the office every day is a totally foreign concept. They still poke their head inside my office to see who is talking when I am on a teleconference and just shake their heads in amazement. I personally love the flexibility being able to work from home affords me. If I had to go into and office every day I would have to take the day off any time they come to visit. Being able to work from home allows me to pop in to meetings or on conference calls while they go for a walk or pick up supper; then we can pick right back up where we left off! As amazing as they find it, I know they appreciate it as much as I do and for the same reasons!

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. That’s when 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 at a site called http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/.

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 for sure is that everybody needs an education. My son found that out when he started applying for the jobs he wanted. He was turned down time after time because he wasn’t qualified. It seems that everyone wants you to have a degree from a reputable college before they will hire you. This makes it hard for those who do not have a degree.

I consulted with my son over the matter. I reminded him that he could earn a degree online. I gave him the URL to a site called WaldenU.edu. It was here that he could find out more information about Walden University’s online degree programs. The courses can be taken online from the comfort of your home at convenient times for you. They are a fine school with a great reputation that employers like. This would make it easier for him to find a job.

For all those who are thinking about getting a degree or just continuing their education, it is easy to learn about Walden. All you have to do is go on the internet and look it up. I am sure that you will be glad you did. After all, education is the key to life and I hope everyone has the good life that we enjoy.

Check out this map I found online that shows most of the tornadoes that touched down on Tuesday. Of course, Alabama got the worst damage and worst loss of life from the storms, but there were tornado reports in a lot of other states – all the way up to New York. What a crazy extreme weather day we had on Tuesday – over 300 people were killed and well over a thousand were injured!

I was in the market for a new dog, and Sarah had been the best pet I could have asked for. She was some sort of lab mix and I’d gotten her from a local shelter, but she was getting really lonely, so I decided it was time for a sister for Sarah. I wanted to get this dog from a breeder, mostly because I wanted a purebred Yorkshire Terrier and those were hard to come by as rescues.

I didn’t have home internet and looking at the library was getting tiresome, so I went to getclearwirelessinternet.com and found a mobile setup that worked for my budget. I immediately started looking for a Yorkie breeder in my area and it didn’t take long to find out a litter was just about to be born just up the road! I reserved one of the female pups and Sarah and I are going to meet her in just a couple of weeks. I’m really excited to have a new puppy and I think Sarah’s pumped as well!
