With the holiday season coming up it makes you think about the past holidays and the fun times spent with friends and family.  I love this time of the year for that reason, plus I no longer live near my family so sending presents and remembering Christmas from years past is wonderful.  Last year I sent out about 20 presents across the country.  I’m sure the same thing is going to happen this year only I am going to purchase gifts online and have them sent directly.  That way it will save me a lot of time and expense.  I found a website that will send roasted nuts for free (2 day shipping) with a card attached.  How great is that all the work is done.

The best part about this website nut gifts allows you to customize the gift.  They are not all done and prepackaged for you.  I am so excited to be sending these home to my parents.  One tradition that we have held throughout the years is playing cards.  At the card table we always have peanuts and alcohol.  I don’t know why it is just what we do.  I know how happy my parents are going to be when they open up their gift of roasted nuts just in time for the big card game.  What a great Christmas this is going to be.

Graduating the typical way from a four-year college is the route I took.  Unfortunately I have always wanted to get my masters degree as well but find that working full-time does not allow me the flexibility to go back to school to do that.  My work hours are different everyday and I find it hard to schedule things outside of work, like a class for example.  I decided to search the internet for online schools to see what I would come up with.  I was shocked at the degrees that were offered online.  Some of which include Healthcare, Business School, Criminal Justice just to name a few.  online degree allowed me to search for exactly what I was looking for while offering so many options.

They had programs for Undergraduate Degrees and well as Graduate, certificates, Associates, Doctoral Degrees, etc.  This website was amazing.  Not only did they offer every type of degree but the course of study was included liberal arts to healthcare and everything in between.  With the economy the way it is now I would highly recommend to everyone to get back into school.  The job market has become more competitive, the salary you need to survive these days requires a degree, etc.  See for yourself at www.degreehound.com.

Is it just me or are we all feeling like we could use a vacation right about now? I have never been more in need of a vacation. I know the reason why I am feeling this way. The economy for one, the cold weather that has just hit the area I live in, and the whole crisis the country is feeling due to money and politics. Thank goodness I still have a job, and thank goodness I have vacation hours I need to use up before the end of the year. I know money is tight but I found an amazing website with beaches that are unbelievable and booked a vacation. The website is called Kissimmee vacation homes. My first stop will be in Florida at http://rentalo.com/vacation-rentals/siestakey/. Then I am headed off to http://rentalo.com/vacation-rentals/breckenridge/ to do what I do best sit by a fireplace and drink and ski of course. I figured I have two weeks worth of vacation why not make the most of it.

If the stress has been getting to you too take a look for yourself at this website http://rentalo.com and book your next getaway. It’s fast, affordable, and easy to do and you wont regret it.<img src=”http://tinyurl.com/65z6fp” />

Another tragic story is currently in the news concerning an eight year-old boy.  I’m sure you all know the story I am referring to since it is so tragic it has been a headline on all the major news websites.  The story plays out like something you would see on a late night TV show.  An eight year-old boy is being held in connection with the murders of his father and another man who lived at his house.  It appears that both men were shot in daylight hours by this young man.

 The story gets a little twisted though because the boy admitted to the crime but has since changed his story.  He now states that he came home to find his roommate and father shot to death.  The police are also getting a bad rap for not giving the boy his legal rights to have an attorney or parent present.  As more information on the case comes out I will include it on my blogs.

My wife and I got married about 3 years ago.  When I purchased her ring I knew it wasn’t exactly what she was looking for but it was the one I could afford at the time.  I bought it with the thought in mind to get her an upgraded one years down the road by surprise.  With Christmas coming up I figured what better time could there be to surprise her with a new ring.  I have been researching the internet ever since and found a website called wedding rings. Take a look for yourself at the amazing rings this site offers.  Not only are they gorgeous but they are affordable.  The site also includes other jewelry as well including cross necklaces and bracelets.

One reason why I love titanium is because it’s different.  The jewelry doesn’t look like the typical jewelry you find at a jewelry store.  After looking through some of the wedding rings I moved on to look at the crosses.  These necklaces are beautiful.  The jewelry has excellent prices, a lifetime warranty and so much more.  The ring I will be purchasing for my wife and the titanium cross #7-0002 I will be purchasing for me.
