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?

I spend a good amount of time outside during the winter months, I have always been the outdoor type of person and having outside fun all year round is just a part of me that takes over. I do notice that I have been having a harder time keeping my feet and hands warm during the winter and have decided to go online and see what there is to offer in the way of heated socks.

I was surprised to find so many different types and brands and prices that I found, making a decision is becoming a pain in the rear. Some times having a larger selection to choose from overwhelms me and I find that I can’t make a decision and it pisses me off.  So I’ve decided to book mark the sites and go back to it at a later date, just not too much later. Winter is rearing it’s ugly head all ready and the good times are waiting right out side my door, there are pirating adventures just ahead!

It is so great that there has been such an outcry and that that outcry was heard and that action was finally taken on the need for a whole lot more plus size clothing styles and options for today’s curvy female population. And I guess for the male gender as well, I certainly can’t leave that whole species out of the situation. I have always been a plus size and most likely will be for the remainder of my life. I’ve dieted, worked out, taken all kinds of wait loss products and have realized that it just is what it is!

I think society has been more tolerant towards the male population and their weight and body style issues, since it has always been acceptable for the man to get married and put on the weight from his new brides cooking and of course her sweet love. But women are pretty much been expected to maintain a low weight and a certain body weight no matter what she endures in her life and her various life style choices that women find themselves in.

I’d like to see even more plus size clothing in the stores, but I’m just glad to see that things are really progressing as well as more people taking their weight and health issues seriously.

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.

My ex husband’s sister Beth and I have always been close and continue to be close long after the divorce was finalized so many years ago, she is a great gal that I am glad to have in my life as well as my daughter’s. She is so good with kids, rightfully so since she works at the local pediatricians office, the same one that I take my daughter to when needed. She always seems to be in a cheerful mood and makes all the kids that come to that office feel so much better about coming to what they must consider a very scary place.

I love that our medical professionals are now wearing such colorful and cool “medical uniforms” instead of the old fashioned starch white and very sterile looking white uniforms of days gone by. Beth always seems to find the best of the nursing uniforms scrubs to wear that really make a difference in the way that all of these kids see her during their time of need that brought them into there to her and the doctor.

So I have decided to try and find her something in that line to give to her for Christmas this year. I found a cool site at http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/ that I’m exploring and I thought that I would pass the link along to others here today.
