Keeping Busy

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Every day when my daughter Beth gets home from school, she keeps a regular routine. I always insist that she completes her homework and does her chores. After that, she is free to do what she wants. The first thing she usually does is to head for the nearest computer and play games. She likes to play the girl games that are available online. It doesn’t seem to make a difference what time of year it is, she plays them just the same.

Since she is very fashion conscious, she prefers games where she can dress people up. She also likes celebrities and loves Britney Spears. There are games that involve this superstar as well. I like the fact that she is keeping busy and staying out of trouble. I hope she’ll continue this routine through her teenage years!

Shop online for the best

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

There is no question that I am in command of a family that likes to shop. It’s no wonder the girls like shopping, but it is amazing how the boys like it too. We do it with a twist. Instead of fighting the big crowds at a shopping mall, we usually shop online. There is one site in particular that we all enjoy looking at. It’s called zappos.com and we all enjoy it.

The best thing about the site is that they have all the major brands you would expect. Whether my son is looking for jackets & coats, or my daughter wants Swimsuits, we can find them all here in one place. The prices are reasonable and shipping is free. That’s always a bonus to me.

It’s also amazing that I enjoy shopping myself. I like to browse the wide selection they have until something really catches my eye. The other day I saw some pants that I had to have and bought them immediately. I feel safe doing so as they have a 365 day return policy. I also like the fact that I can call their customer service department with any questions or comments I have. It’s a great site and I hope you’ll visit it soon and see for yourself!

Heading out of town

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

Since we have been working hard this summer, I thought it would be nice to take a break and have some fun. The kids are out of school and the wife and I have some time off coming. All this adds up to a trip. We are all looking forward to blowing off some steam and have booked a Myrtle Beach Accomodation in order to achieve this goal. We know this is a place where we can all have a good time.

We have visited this beach before and are familiar with it. We like the sand and surf as it always lends itself to a great time. We are also familiar with some of the best Myrtle Beach Accomodations there are. We have stayed in many such places and have never been disappointed. The great thing is that there is something for everyone to do. Whether it be golfing for the adults or swimming for the kids, we all manage to have a lot of fun.

I was hoping to entice some of my friends and neighbors to visit the beach as well. I explained about the virtues of any of the many Myrtle Beach hotels there are and the features they have to offer. So far, I have received many positive responses and I expect that my friends will be making their reservations soon. I know that we’ll all have a great time at the beach!

The RV and Me

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

Last weekend we decided to take the rv out for a ride. We knew that it was time for us to have a good time and we all wanted to get away from the hectic city life. We ended up at an rv park nc that we have been to before. This is a wonderful place that has many things to do. Besides being able to set up camp, we like to walk the trails that abound in the area. It’s a great way to spend time with the kids.

My wife loves to camp as much as I. there is nothing like clean air and that woodsy smell to make you relax. We always pack enough food to feed an army and somehow manage to eat it all. That’s how life is when you go to nc rv parks. The kids enjoy cooking their hotdogs by the fire and the adults usually will set up a grill and cook something more substantial. It’s always nice to have a decent meal after a long day of hiking.

Another great aspect of camping is the people you meet. Many people have similar interests as we do and we have met many people that we like. I feel that it’s always good to expand your horizons and find new friends. Every time I visited an rv park north Carolina, I’ve managed to find a new friend. We are home now but really enjoyed our time at the park. I plan to go as many times as possible as the whole family enjoys our time there!

Awards and More

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

Our office usually celebrates the end of the busy season with a blowout party and award session at a local hotel. Each year we honor the best people with various awards. We find that giving out corporate awards help to maintain morale and build confidence in our workforce. This year is no different and we are all looking forward to the event.

Our office also sponsors many little league teams. We supply equipment and uniforms to the kids so that they can have fun playing their games without worrying about how to pay for it. At the end of each season, we supply the Softball Trophies as well as the Baseball Trophies that the kids have won. We make sure that every child receives some kind of award. We find this to be very rewarding for all involved.

We have been dealing with the same trophy supplier for many years. They are called trophiesales.com and they carry all the different items we need. They have always done a great job with our orders and have not let us down yet. I am always glad to be the one who orders the trophies each year because it is both rewarding and easy.
