My good friend Janice has been a nurse for a very long time and really loves her job. She became a supervisor not too long ago and has a real good relationship with the other nurses that she has been given the responsibility to supervise. They have become what you could call an extended family to my unmarried and childless friend, which is really cool. Nursing has consumed Janice’s life and she claims that she doesn’t have time for courting and she has found that her professional very fulfilling.

For Christmas she wants to give all of her charges a Christmas present but doesn’t have a whole lot of money to spend since there are so many of them, so she has decided to look into purchasing a boat load of cute but appropriate nursing pins that she has found online at Pinmart.com. I decided to check them out and I have to say that they really do have a great variety of these pins that can be placed on their uniforms to display for the whole world to see and enjoy. And they certainly are affordable and I think that everyone will enjoy receiving one for Christmas.

These two are my favorites, cute right?

My old school chum seems to be settling in a bit in her new home base in ontario, canada. I miss her like crazy, thank goodness for email, Facebook, texts, Instant Messaging and of course the good old fashioned cell phone all of which we have been using to stay in touch since she left earlier this summer. She does have her hands full considering that she has twin two year old boys that she is trying to raise so far away from anywhere or anyone that she knows, while her hubby is in the process of finding a good Business Lawyer barrie and coldwater ontario, canada to assist him with setting up his small business and getting it up and running before they run out of money that they had saved up for the move and the new business adventure that took them up that far.

Not sure when I’ll ever see any of them again, which breaks my heart. We have been friends since the 5th grade and I never thought that we would ever become separated so far from one another. It would be nice to win a trip to canada some how, I believe that would be the only way I would ever be able to make a trip that far away to see them. A girl can dream can’t she?

There have been a few people that have asked me if there is anything that I would like for Christmas this year which always makes me feel good but really awkward at the same time. There really isn’t much that I really want that I can come up with to tell people because all the things that I really, really want are pretty big ticket items that no one would ever consider or be able to purchase for me. You know things like a new car, a new motorcycle, a new stereo sound system that would just blow the walls out down in the basement where my bedroom is, things like that.

I have told a couple of people that I think are capable of finding and selecting some nice celtic jewelry pieces for me. I’m not into fancy diamonds and pearls, but I do enjoy some of the more unusual pieces that I come across from time to time. Ear rings are always welcomed! And then of course I think that gift cards are always welcome, am I right?

O.K. this is a pretty cool concept that I stumbled onto just now on the Internet. A company by the name of Jupee Numbers is offering Virtual Phone Numbers that can be utilized not only by businesses which may need numbers for all across the world for it’s clients, but for personal family/friend use for folks who are located out of the good old U.S. of A.You see if you have family in any of the 5 countries that they offer and want them to call you here in the U.S., then they will assign you a virtual number for that country, that rings directly to your U.S. land line or cellphone, and that number can be forwarded it to a gtalk, skype ,msn or PBX system, I mean how cool is that?

With this company you always do receive unlimited minutes, they have free call forwarding options and that will save you money on your international calling. What you don’t receive is any software or hardware, no type of equipment what so ever in order to take advantage of their money saving offer.

I’m going to run this across my brother and see if he would go online and see what he thinks. He has his own business that makes it necessary that he makes a lot of international phone calls and receives as many as well. I’m not sure what company he is using right now, but I’ll let him know that it may prove to be a good thing to check into.

Today was just crazy, we actually got about 4 inches of snow. First time we have had snow in October is many, many years, that I can remember. The road were not all too bad, but the one overpass down by K-mart was nothing but a sheet of ice. The even had police officers stationed at either end warning people about the slick condition of the darn thing, which was greatly appreciated!

After coming home and sufficiently drying off and warming up, I spent some time doing a bit of Christmas shopping on the Internet since we were one of the lucky ones that didn’t lose their power due to all of the snow. I’ve been meaning to get started on some of the holiday shopping and all the snow kind of put me in the spirit for a time being.

I did find a good site that has a good selection of discount medical scrubs at http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Men/ that I’ve been researching so that I can buy my newest brother-in-law a nice set of scrubs for Christmas this year. He is always in need of new uniforms to wear for work at the hospital that he spends so much of his time each day trying to save the world and provide for his new family. I think that it will be a good gift for him this year, something that he can always use and hopefully like.
