Don’t steal my pen

by

I’m strange. I’ll admit it.

I’m very particular about my writing pens. It’s not just the type of pen, it’s the fact that it’s my pen and I like to know where it is when I want to use it.

Ok let me explain … my husband is a pen stealer. This is probably why our small household of two goes through sometimes as many as two packages of pens a month. The packages I’m referring to usually have a dozen pens in them!

We both work in the hospital and that’s another area where you guard your pen with your life. The hospital doesn’t supply the staff with pens. They probably got wise years ago. So, as a result of there not being any pens at work, and often no one to borrow a pen from because everyone knows they’ll never get it back … we buy our own pens and take them with us.

Ok, so Chris brings a pen to work, I do too when I’m working. He could use the same pen each day until it runs out of ink like I do, but I guess he’s one of those people that either give their pen away out of kindness or misplaces it. So he’s always getting a new pen.

I have pens that I like to write with and they’re in the hands off zone on my desk. Well, if Chris can’t find a pen he always tries to steal one of my writing pens! ARghhh … Of course if he does manage to steal my pen without me knowing it that’s when I’ll discover that the latest package of pens that we bought is empty.

Sometimes it feels like a very strange obsession, but after writing this out I realize that almost everyone that works at the hospital must have a bit of a pen obsession since they are so hard to come by at work.





I’ve been a nurse for 15 years?

by

I was just thinking, it was around this time 15 years ago that I finally finished my nursing course. Wow, I’ve been a nurse for 15 years. It doesn’t seem that long!

I guess I should have happy memories of that time, but it was a little stressful. You see, just as I finished my course and began my new nursing career my husband went back to school. So here I was, a young nurse just building a career with student loans to pay off and I’d also become the breadwinner for the household since my husband went back to school.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure when I was going to school and my husband was the only one working it was hard on him too … but he wasn’t in a new career. At least he had that going for him.

When Chris finished his course I was still paying off my student loans. We then had to start paying off his too. His were higher than mine because he’d gone to a private school for an IT course. In fact I’d say his student loans were about 10 times mine! I’d had a couple of scholarships too so that helped keep mine reasonable, but still, our loans together were a heck of a lot of money.

We struggled through the payments. I never realized that we could have applied for a school loan consolidation. If we had we more than likely would have ended up reducing our total monthly payment and saving money because there’d be less interest on our total as we payed what we owed each month.

Well I guess you could say we learned our lesson the hard way. Now that I know you can consolidate student loans I”ll certainly be telling others that appear to be struggling to pay off their loans as they start out in their new careers.

A new life insurance policy

by

My husband and I have been thinking of getting a new life insurance policy.

We aren’t all that satisfied with the rates that our current life insurance company charges so I thought I’d look around and see if there was another company that we’d find more suitable.

I found a company that has extraordinary rates and coverage – globe life insurance, but I’m not sure if it’s just for Americans. I guess I’ll have to contact the company to find out.

If you know of a good life insurance company that has plans for Canadians I’d love to hear about it.

A rental condo or home is so much better!

by

I love the idea of staying in a villa or rental home when I travel. Perhaps that’s because when I traveled as a child with my parents we always stayed in rental cabins, hotels or motels with dinettes, or rental homes.

It’s just so much nicer. You can relax, cook your own food, do your own laundry if you really want to … yes, much better than staying in stuffy hotel room.

Now, having told you my preference for vacationing I’d like to tell you about Rocky Point condo rentals in beautiful Puerto Penasco Mexico.

Imagine staying in a Oceano-Rentals rental home or condo with an ocean front view? All their rentals are furnished with satellite TV’s, internet access, fully equipped kitchens, and furnishings.

Rocky Point is located near the Sea of Cortez, a beautiful peaceful area to spend your holiday. Check it out if you are planning a vacation in Mexico.

Airbrush Tattoo Supplies and Equipment

by

If you’re a tattoo airbrush artist or perhaps someone who’s always wanted to be you should have a look at all the products being sold at the Tat Store.

They have everything from stencil airbrush, power palettes, hobby kits, ink, banners, Glitter tattoos, body crystals, airbrush tanning supplies and all of the airbrush tattoo equipment that you could possibly need to either get started or expand your business.

The Temporary Airbrush Tattoo store or TAT as it’s known has been the industry leader in providing supplies for the temporary airbrush tattoo industry.

If I were interested in getting a small business started doing temporary airbrush tattoos I’d purchase one of the three starter kits that they sell as they look like they’re the best way to get a start with temporary airbrush tattoos.
