Posted by Faith on February 22nd, 2010 The boys pajamas that they brought to the campout were footed pajamas. I asked them if their mother packed them for them or if they wanted to have them. They both told me that their footed pajamas were very warm and from what they could see from the weather report it was going to get quite chilly tonight. In fact, the boys pajamas were going to not only act as their blankets, but they did not care if the feet in them got ruined or not.
I had never thought of doing that for my sons but I guess that it makes sense. It made me want to get some pajamas that have feet in them for my boys the next time that we go on a camping trip and then they will serve the same purposes for my boys.
I told the people in my office all about the boys with the footed pajamas and they laugh and think that those boys were super smart. I even had pictures of the ten year old boys in their funny pj’s to show everyone. I see those boys every now and then and always remind them about the fun camping trip that we went on.
Posted by Faith on January 18th, 2010 I wanted to find a new cleaning products company that would deliver since we had to cut staff and cannot afford to send anyone out for hours running around picking up cleaning supplies every month. When we had to cut staff, I had a meeting with everyone who was still here and informed them that we still needed to find other ways to save money to insure that they all would be able to keep their jobs.
The janitor told me that he knew for a fact that by using a local cleaning products company, we were paying way too much. I asked him why he had never said anything before and he let me know that since we had been using them before he got here, he just thought that we had made the choice to buy local. I laughed and told everyone in the room that this is not the case and if we can find other things, just like the cleaning supplies then we needed to start making those changes quickly.
Who knows, if we had done this sooner we might have been able to save some jobs. I hope that my staff takes this seriously and by the end of the week we have other new suppliers, not just a new cleaning supplies company.
Posted by Faith on January 18th, 2010 The bill for the office supplies came in the mail last night and I was not too happy with all the extra discount office furniture my staff had purchased while I was on vacation. I have always been very generous when they let me know that they really need something and I do not think that I have ever told them no but they took advantage of me being gone and they are all going to find out how unhappy I really am in the morning.
I got to my office very early the next morning to try and figure out just who had ordered all the discount office furniture by inspecting every ones offices. I found two nice new leather chairs in my manager’s office that I know he did not need and a few of my bookkeepers took it upon themselves to get some nice new desks. I have no idea why they think that it would have been alright to do this without my approval but I will have to ask them when they get in.
I called all the guilty people I find into my office and let them know that I had gotten last month’s new office supplies bill and you should have seen their faces. They all looked like they knew what I was going to say next, but they did not.
Posted by Faith on November 30th, 2009 I had decided to start a new business selling my homemade jewelry. A friend of mine told me that she had a very cheap rental space in the town square. I was excited to think that my jewelry would be in an actual store in the middle of town. I started a list of everything that I would need to get it up and running. My husband suggested that we look online for discount office furniture to get everything we would need for my office there.
I found a company that sold not just discount office furniture but they were an office supply company too. So, all the paper and pencils that I would need could be bought from them too. This would help to keep shipping costs down too since we were ordering a lot of our supplies from just one company as compared to getting things from a bunch of different suppliers.
When all of the office supply things and the discount office furniture were delivered to my store, I was excited to start putting it all in my office. It all fit and the furniture was better than I could have ever hoped for. I am just hoping that my jewelry store is a huge success.
Posted by Faith on October 30th, 2009 When my daughter came home from school and she brought her new boyfriend, I did not like him very much. He was wearing a very offensive t shirt that degraded women. My daughter did not see what the big deal was, and she actually said that he wears funny shirts like that all the time. I did not find anything about it funny. I was just hoping that the weekend would go well and he would not turn out to be as big of a jerk as I had tagged him to be.
My husband and I spent a lot of time talking to her new boyfriend and my daughter over the next few days. I was thankful that he did not wear anymore of his so called funny shirts over the weekend. I do not know if my daughter said that I did not like offensive t shirts, or he just made a wise decision to not do it.
After getting to know him, I actually liked him. I just wished that he had not made such a horrible first impression on me. I guess that as long as he continues to treat my daughter well, I will give them my blessing. I also hope that he is wise enough not to ever wear any of those t shirts around me ever again.
Posted by Faith on August 13th, 2009 If you buy your funny shirts online, you are in good company. I have noticed so many sites popping up these days, that there must be money to be made in the industry.
I do know a few friends from college who started up a funny t shirts business online to make their way through college but I do not remember the name of the site. Our whole dorm used to order our funny shirts from them-they were cheap and reliable. Whenever someone came up with a new catch phrase, they would slap it on a funny t shirt and cash in. I remember working in the library, wishing that I could be like them but I was not very creative.
I would love to see how they all turned out. Maybe they run a successful funny t shirts store somewhere in the world or maybe they are just losers now. I doubt it though; their site was one of the most popular of its kind back in the day. If I could remember the name of it, I would do a search for funny shirts to see if it is still out there.
Maybe at our next reunion, someone will be able to tell me if those guys sell funny t shirts, or if they all became doctors or lawyers. It would be cool, to see them again.
Posted by Faith on January 18th, 2008 It is when a woman reaches the age of thirty that she will soon realize how mature she is and how she is taking her life seriously. This is where a working woman is at the peak of her career. For some this is where life has just begun. Having a life with a full blast career and sense of independence and being on the corporate ladder to reach the top. Sometimes this drive for success has taken its toll with regard to your love life. It is okay if you choose to be single and decided that you should be one. However, when you are single for the reason that you do not have time to meet up with guys then that is a bigger problem. As the years pass by you will soon realize how empty you are and you will one day think what if I had my time. All you got is a life full of regrets.
It is not bad to aim for success and be on top but it is really fulfilling when you are on top and there is a man beside you who will support and love you. If you think a single life is your calling then let it be but if you feel and dreamed that you will have a family soon, think about it. All it takes a little of your time to date a man and know him very well and if you click maybe a wedding will be next. To match up with your different dates wear the best dresses from kleider out of the Damenmode collection. If wedding is on the way, your perfect wedding dress will be taken from Brautmode collection.
Life has just begun when you are just starting to realize how important love is.
