Having Fun While Shopping for School Clothes Online

Written by Shannon Tillman

My daughter loved shopping for clothes, but I admit I usually dreaded it. Our taste was not terribly similar, and she did not understand the idea of shopping for sales and deals. With the school year about to start, I decided I would be shopping online rather than going to the mall. I told her she was welcome to help me shop online as long as she understood that I was in charge. She agreed to work with me and we decided to create a list of what we needed. She was very girly and loved having dresses and skirts to wear to school. I knew she needed some casual play clothes as well and her shoes needed to be replaced. We logged onto our hugh net internet to get online and hit my daughter's favorite store, Gymboree, first. She fell in love with everything, and I narrowed down her options to a few selections I liked as well. Once we had that purchase done, we surfed through Old Navy, Carter's and decided to browse a few higher-end boutique sites as well. Within a matter of a couple of hours, we had all her school clothes shopping done and we had actually enjoyed it. I knew this would be our method of shopping going forward as it had actually been a fun activity for us.

It Was a Blast!

You probably wonder about the title of my blog. Well, we had a blast at work yesterday. We were having a party outside our work parameter for 3 hours. And, these hours are with pay of course. Every summer, all the workers will have a barbecue party and games were set up. We all enjoy the games. Each of us should participate with the games. They even have ticket raffles picked at the end of party. Unfortunately, I didn’t win. My two colleagues wins one day off with pay. Imagine that! Gees! Why my name wasn’t picked? I needed a rest day so bad. Well hopefully, my name will be the winner next time. Fingers crossed! But, I have to wait for one year again. LOL!

Watching The Oscars!

Thanks for the post from Barney Crosby

I love watching the Oscars. That includes the pre-show, where I can let my inner fashion critic out and maintain a running (critical) commentary directed at either my cats or my long suffering boyfriend. I always make sure to have snacks ready and to let friends and family know that I will not be answering the phone except during commercials. And the most they will get out of me then is a brief speech about why orange is not an acceptable color to wear on a red carpet. And then I will hang up on them.

This year I enjoyed them as much as ever. I was able to flip on our awesome satellite television in North Carolina and settle in for the duration, snacks and cats near at hand. Sandra Bullock looked great and at that point we didn't yet know what a jerk her husband would turn out to be so watching him tear up as she accepted her award was really sweet. 'Avatar' of course won a bunch of awards as did 'The Hurt Locker.' Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin were super funny together - not that it's hard for Steve Martin to be funny - so no disappointment there. Ben Stiller, in full 'Avatar' make-up, was definitely hilarious too. Maybe they can look at him to host next year? Whoever they pick, I'm already looking forward to 2011 and getting to watch and dream of winning one myself.

It's Been a Long Time!

It’s been a long time since the last time I posted at this blog. Gees! Perhaps, you could find a spider web from this blog. LOL! Anyway, I’ve been very busy working six days a week. I don’t even have time cleaning the house. Just joking! Yeah, it’s really hard to maintain two blogs while working 6 days a week. What do you think about that? I’m sure you’ll say how busy my life was. Well, that’s a life of a being poor women. You have to work to pay all your bills on time. And of course, you can send money to your love ones who needed you so badly. I still have obligation to help since I’m the only one who could provide their needs. Enough for all the dramas! I need to start making the bed so we could rest now. Have a good night everybody!

Latest Post!

It's been a decade since the last time i posted in this blog. I've been pre-occupied with a lot of things lately that I forget i have one blog to mind to. Gees! What's going on with me? I guess I'm having a slight dementia here. LOL! I don't even bother looking all the messages here. What a shame! huh! Guys, I apologize for returning all your messages here. I usually post things in my other blog in which I can get extra green money. It's not really big but it keeps me sane from time to time. Just kidding! Well at least, it hones my mind. It gives me the opportunity to say what i feel about a certain situation and products. Anyway, Ciao everybody! Have a nice day!

Snow Snow Snow!

It’s snowing outside today. I don’t know how many inches of snow but it’s really thick in front of our house. But, you cant stop my husband to go outside. So, we decided to have our dinner in the restaurant. After we ate, I practiced driving in the road with snow. Gees! It’s my first to drive in a freeway where there’s a big snow. At least, it’s not slippery or else I’ll have a hard time driving in the road. I enjoyed it though. LOL! I think it’s fun. Hopefully, I will be fine driving when my hubby is not beside me. I’ve heard in the news that the cold weather will remain for a long time. Gees! It’s going to be problem for me since I have a second hand car with no enough heater. I hope I could find a real job soon. So I don’t have to worry anymore about paying some bills and having a wreck car. Hehehe!

Two days ago, hubby and I went to apple store to browse a speaker for my iPod so I could use it while using my elliptical. But, it’s really expensive so we just bought a pink case for my nano iPod. I love it! Well, how I wish I own an apple iPhone so I could buy these $5 personalized Apple & BlackBerry cases online. Imagine that? It’s very affordable. And, it’s really cute. It’s available in multiple colors, different styles and FREE personalization. And, guess what? It’s free shipping, too. Plus, the backside of the case can be engraved with both a logo and two lines of text of your choice. Isn’t it cool? It sounds a good deal. Huh! Apple cases come in resilient soft silicone or plastic while Blackberry cases come in the silicone design for most popular models! I probably recommend my friend to check out this product since she just got her new iPhone 3G. Gees! I really envied her new phone. I wish I could afford to buy one. What a bum! LOL! Just kidding! Guys, what are you waiting for? If you own an iPhone or Blackberry phones and you want it to look stylish then you better visit their site now. I'm sure you'll love it.
