So far I have not been lucky enough to get to the website at the right time to grab up an insanity deal, but trust me on this one, I will keep going back to see if I can catch it. With a little bit of luck, I just might be able to grab one up!

I always said that you could never have too many clothes. But I guess that I’ve gotten to that point where I have so many clothes that I’ve even forgotten some of the things that I have. And then I also have a whole lot of trouble figuring out where any of my clothing items are that I would like to wear. So I have to say that organizing my closet was a necessity instead of more than an exercise.

I’ve tried to organize my closet over the years, but it’s been way too long since I’ve been able to bear throwing something away. It’s just too much emotional anguish for me. So I went online to see if I could find some ideas about what exactly I could do differently this time. When I was searching for that, I ran across some cable and internet packages and after I showed them to my husband I decided to change over our home service to one of those packages.

I invested in some additional shelves and hooks to put in my closet so that once I got everything organized and threw away some stuff, I would be able to see what I have better. They really came in handy for my purses and belts.

I can tell you first hand that I wasn’t all that interested in switching insurance companies. I have been with my agent for over 20 years, I actually worked for him for a short time when he first started his agency, so I felt a loyalty to him, big time. But times are hard and money is an issue, so I took a chance and looked around and was surprised to find that I could be paying a whole lot less, $50 a month, with another carrier. It was hard calling my agent and letting him know that I had decided to switch insurance companies, but he was very understanding and told me that I have to do what I have to do in order to get by in today’s economic crisis. He also told me that he appreciated me calling him directly to inform him of my decision instead of calling the 800 number and canceling my long standing policy with the Regional office. It wasn’t an easy call to make but I’m glad that I did.

I think part of the issue at that time was that perhaps some of the products were on the market, but not widely advertised anywhere.  And without the Internet to allow consumers to search the global marketplace to see what items are available, and without YouTube videos to show us how to install the products that a lot of people resorted to doing without or trying to reinvent the wheel.

Yesterday I was in a waiting room that had a March 2011 issue of Reader’s Digest in large print, so I picked it up and started flipping pages to find something interesting to read for the short time that I was left waiting for my turn to be seen. I was overwhelmed with surprise and was delighted to find that I had no trouble reading a single word the whole time I was reading it. So I am going to look into a subscription of the large print editions and start enjoying reading this well known and well established publication without straining my eyes any more. I don’t know if there is an extra charge for the large print, but I’ll be finding out soon with the help of the good old Internet. In fact I think I’ll look into it as soon as I sign off of here tonight.

I know what it is like having to wear a “uniform” to work day after day, it does get stale after just a short time, so I really think it is cool that there is now such a great selection of these medical uniforms for all of medical professionals that work so hard on some of the craziest schedules that you can imagine. Feeling good about what you are wearing can make a big difference in your attitude and your work effort, am I right? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this subject, so feel free to leave me a comment or send me an email about medical uniforms.

I logged onto HOMESECURITYSYSTEM.com to research getting an alarm system while I was watching Rachel Ray today. Before I could finish my research, I had to log onto RachelRay.com to enter an on-line contest. She was having a drawing for something that I absolutely love in her television show kitchen. It is the Carolina blue fridge that is named the “Big Chill”. I would love to have one in my kitchen. It is retro looking. It looks like it was probably produced in the early 1960’s, but is as energy efficient as today’s model fridges. I would redecorate my kitchen if I win this fridge. A couple of years back, I really wanted one and looked into purchasing one. Unfortunately, dealers were really far away. The prices listed on-line placed the retail value at well over three thousand dollars. I just knew that my husband would never go for a three thousand dollar fridge, no matter how much I loved it. Who knows, hopefully I will win Rachel’s fridge and get to do a little redecorating of my own!

I remember when I used to watch the hit TV show back in the 60′s – Bewitched – and how both of Sam’s Darren’s (the first Darren was replaced a few years into the show) worked for an Advertising Agency run by his boss, I think his name was Larry Tate. It always seemed to me to be a great business to be in. All the interesting clients that he had to deal with and all the places that he got to travel to while trying “seal the deal.” I can’t help but wonder what Sam, Darren and Larry would think of how things have changed so drastically with so much emphasis on today’s technologies.

 I’ve noticed that Face book has really become a place not only for people to socialize and reconnect with friends and family, but many businesses are using Face book in various ways in order to get their name out there since so many are spending so much time on there. I don’t think many people or businesses are using My Space anymore except for numerous teeny boppers that are still stuck on it since it appears to be a whole lot more exciting with all the bells and whistles that they have to offer that generations. Face book is certainly much less dazzling in comparison.
