This guest post from Lewis Beck
What is it with men and electronics? A child-like quality emerges the moment they enter the superstore and lay eyes on the gorgeous HD screens with CGI films playing on twenty screens. For some, there jaws even drop a little as if it seems to help them absorb it all. Mine was no different. We both knew this was the year we would upgrade to the 1080p HD of our dreams. We already had the stand mounted on the wall above the fireplace. It was simply going be gorgeous there and give me all sorts of freedom for furniture arranging, which is somewhat a passion at my house. With our new baby tucked in snug in the truck we rushed home with our new toy. While he broke into the box as if it was a bank vault full of money I got online and upgraded to the directv hd package. It’s a wonder we get anything done with this kind of entertainment at our fingertips! Although I admit, it is very very hard some days.

Dreams in HD
One Trip , More to Come with Mom
The day after Christmas, I took my Mom with my girlfriend from Canada to Las Vegas for a weekend getaway. We decided to stay way from the strip although the resort we stayed in has a shuttle bus that took us to the STRIP. It was a great choice to stay away from the crowd when you wanted yet close enough to see the strip. It was the first time me and my Mom went to Las Vegas and she really enjoyed the trip. So she wanted us to do these kind of trips together in the future. She wanted to go to Calgary this April as her birtday treat.
I have always wanted to see Calgary so I guess we can meet my girlfriend over there. I am glad my Mom finally got out of her shell and started showing some interest travelling with me. I have invited her several times to travel with me but last Las Vegas trip was the first one she decided to come. Now she is already excited for our next trip. I am glad I was awarded the "time share" condo unit in Florida because now I can check in to resorts for less cost. Read More......

Trick or Treat and Party!
It is getting cold and one big event for fall is Halloween. I love the candies and the custumes. Tinay's birthday will be a halloween party too. It is cold where I live during Halloween so it is best to wear something heavy to keep warm during trick or treating. I think am am going to wear a mask so I can just easily put them on and off when I am done for the party. My friend said she will be wearing a medical lab coat and look like a doctor by putting a stethoscope around her neck and she can easily buy this online at http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/ My neighbor will be wearing something that look like Hollywood character, and some will be superhero outfit like spiderman. I wonder who is gonna wear a spongebob one? Some of Tinay's friends said they will wear wolves and vampire and be like the "Twilight" movie characters. It is going to be fun for that party!
Before we really was heavy on decorating the house to make it look like messy, unattended or abandoned house. This time we got kinda busy and decided we will just have a party but will be heavy on costumes and attire. About thirty people will be attending and it will be a contest of who's got the best costume. There will be few categories so few people will win a prize. Believe me, it is going to be fun.
I already have few things made for decorations, Tinay cut up some black cardboards and form into cats or scared cats should I say. We made some spiders and cobwebs all over. Renee will be carving some pumpkins for us and there will be pumkim carving contest during the party. Lots of giveaways and surprises prepared to make this party real fun. Boy! am I really excited! I hope everyone will be there and some of Tinay's classmates will be there too. I am sure everyone will have a blast with all the activities planned to keep the party very exciting.

Iphone Apps Got Me Hooked
I am not fund of games on phone nor pc but I do a lot of games through Wii or Playstation even back when it is only two dimensional screen. I always wonder why some other people sacrifice their eyes or make it hard for them to play on small screen when you can play in widescreen. This was me back then. Then PSP become popular and even mobile phones getting fancier adding few games and capability to play simple JAVA games. If I remember my first phone that was able to connect to WiFi was HTC Wing from Tmobile. Now I went through Razor and several other cellphones. Last year I finally decided to try Iphone and since then, it had changed the way I use my cellphone. Games? yes! Since there were lots of free game applications that can be downloaded, I finally got hooked since started my long and several lay over flight to Toronto.
Long travel is boring so that was when I started playing games on my phone. I happen to be on a plane ride with "inflight" internet connection for free, that was Christmas give away. Poker game was one of my favorite pass time. Nevertheless, I don't really gamble but I know few people does. I only play online poker to make time fly faster and when I am bored. Visit now and see how other people enjoy the game and also learn the game itself. I may not have the poker face so this is the advantage of playing online. For me, playing poker with virtual tokens and no monetary involve is enough. I don't really feel comfortable betting real money.
Playing games is actually a waste of time but if you really have nothing to do and if you just going to wait for something, you might as well enjoy wasting. That's my point of view. One of the reasons I think that keep me going and checking the updates of my game applications in my cellphone is the need to finish and accumulate more "achievements" that you can brag to your facebook friends list. Like I like to show off how I completed and beat the "Plant Vs Zombies game three times and collected all the achievements there was. Anyways it just mean that games could get real addictive.

Overbearing?
Author: Joseph Sandoval
Do you have a friend that sends you about six e-mails a day? Not e-mails that are important, but e-mails that have questions, articles, and basically tirades about one thing or another? If you don’t, good for you. If you do, I feel sorry for you. I have a friend that literally sends me at least six e-mails everyday. I feel obligated to respond they will be about anything from how she chose to use reliant energy providers to what her husband wore to work that day! It is really too much information. I know that my friend is a sweet person and just trying to be friendly, but I can’t help but wonder if she ever does any work! If she sends me six e-mails a day, how many e-mails is she sending to her family and people that are her really close friends! I just absolutely baffles me. I wish that I had that much free timeon my hands at work, but I most certainly do not! Read More......

Convenience Of Online Shopping
For years I in the health field I have always wore scrubs for work. It is comfortable to wear and in most cases, it is the dress code at work. We do get some Fridays aswe are allowed casual clothing or sometimes jeans day. I still prefer wearing my scrubs though as I don't have to think of what to wear. My mom being a dress maker, made most of my scrubs and sometimes I make my nursing uniform myself. I like different colors and different designs to fit my mood or seasons. So, I have a lot of scrubs in m closet. One time I was wearing a Washington Cougar Team scrubs and I got a lot of compliments about it specially the Cougar fans. Most kids like my teddy bear scrubs or my Spongebob theme scrubs. It is fun to wear different themes also for seasons like I have some winter scrubs that have snow designs on them or one time had a Santa on it for Christmas season. I really enjoy following the Holidays for my themes so you got an idea how creative I get with my scrubs.
As time went , my mom got busy with work and I sometimes have no time to make my own scrubs. It never was an issue before but now I very seldom sees mom. Thank God online shopping is now possible, where I can search online to find a site to buy a quality yet inexpensive scrubs. For times when I or mom don't have the extra chance to make the scrubs , it is really such a relief that http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/Original-Scrubs/ offer the scrubs and variety of colors to choose from. I have ordered my scrub pants here and I have been pleased by the service. I would never doubt trying to make more orders when I need some more. Some of my friends started using this site now too because they know it is trusted site and I was a happy customer. Read More......

Travelodge Great Place to Stay in Spokane
During our one night stay in Spokane on our way to Los Angeles we decided to stay at Travelodge near the Convention Center. The location is perfect for what I have planned for that day. The Hotel serves warm breakfast and friendly staff. Price is the best in town for the location and room you get. The speed of their WIFI connection is impressive without hassle logging in and the rooms are huge...I mean HUGE for standard accommodation. Best of all the hotel is very clean and comfortable beds. I have to say that driving finding the hotel was not hard but very tricky how to enter at that time we went, there was a road construction so it gives us detour right in front of the hotel. I would definitely recommend this more specially the location which is just across the Convention Center and Riverside Park. There are lots of fun family activities that can be done during visit so check this place out first before booking other places. Read More......
