View Article  Buh-Bye

I'm about to disappear; my 45 Hour Continuing Education CD arrived today. I have until September 30th to complete the course, including the final exam. If I fail the exam I have 30 days to retake it or I lose my license.

This does not give me a lot of time.

I wish I could download it on to my laptop because I could then take it in to work and study. Er, by that I mean study during my lunch hour, of course. But, seeing as it's so full of viruses and freezes all the time, I have to do it on my desktop here at home. I can't run the risk of it freezing during my final, so I'm stuck.

Anyone who knows me, knows that once I start something like this I won't resurface until I'm done. So, I'll see ya'll when I finish the course!

View Article  Read All About It



I finished reading a relatively new book by Jen Lancaster called "Bitter is the New Black" and it was hilarious! Not at all what I was expecting when I picked it up from Borders by accident (yes, that can happen), but I was thrilled with it. I actually read it in two days/one night, however; I was asked to leave the bedroom that night for laughing too much (let's face it, who's husband really wants people to hear their wife laughing in the bedroom?).

Part of the reason I liked this book so much was because it's a true story of a high earning VP who ends up losing all of her money due to "downsizing", and her journey toward discovering that Prada (and Coach, and Tiffany diamonds...) aren't all they're cracked up to be. It was interesting to follow along in her personal growth and laugh while doing it!

Since finishing the book I've become an avid reader of her website, Jennsylvania, because it makes me laugh as much as the book did. I hop over there at least once a day and I'm never disappointed.

I went to Borders just now and picked up another one of her books, "Such a Pretty Fat". I can't wait for Ian to go to bed so I can start it!

I've always been curious about the police. I went to a college that was known for it's high amount of criminal justice turnouts; in fact my dream was to be a State Police Officer. I got to my second semester sophomore year before I decided I needed to change my major so I had a good background in the field, and my interest has continued over the years.

I've been interested in the supplies cops need, especially when I learned that the majority of purchases are up to the officers to make! I've browsed around at different sites and have found all sorts of cool things like guns, night vision (cool!) equipment, steel-toed shoes, flashlights... but my favorite site is www.LApolicegear.com. They offer all sorts of necessary equipment like 5.11 Shorts, under-armor, holsters, and more, and they even have a closeout section. Good deals for some of the most underpaid hero's in this Country!

View Article  Bates Boots Make Great Footwear

Sean got home a little bit ago and he's been complaining about his feet. I looked at his shoes and I had to laugh; how on earth have those things survived?! The soles are held to the rest of the shoe by threads and not much more, so how does he think his feet would feel at all comfortable?

He needs something like Bates boots, especially for work. They're advertised as boots for police or military personnel, but they're exactly what he needs for being on his feet all day. I'm going to see which ones he wants; they'll make a great Father's Day gift!

 

View Article  Skin RX Clinic Skincare Products

I'm going to have to be very careful with my skin now that I'm pregnant. It's sensitive, and I find that I have a lot more wrinkles than I used to! I found some great skincare products that are focused on conditions such as acne, aging, rosacea, scarring, post-laser skin, fine lines, and other such issues. The Skin RX Clinic line of mineral makeup is wonderful; they repair, nourish, and enliven skin without clogging pours! 

Their anti-aging, exfoliating, and glycolic products are just a few professional items available directly to customers, and they have wonderful customer service. There are licensed estheticians available to talk to today and every day! How many skin care products can offer that?
