So after scrubbing my ceramic tiles in the kitchen today, I had to cancel my son’s birthday party anyway. There is supposed to be a snow storm headed our way and I had to make the decision to cancel before I get stuck with food that won’t be eaten. Hopefully, next weekend will be good. Unfortunately, my little boy is a tad bit disappointment. Maybe we will go see a movie to cheer him up!
My son loves Lego Sets but he always wants me to build them for him. I wish putting laptop memory in my laptop was as fun or easy as working with my son and his Legos, but I guess I will have to just buckle down and stop building and fix my laptop instead.

In what profession can you not do your job and still make over $100,000? It seems that a New York City teacher has not been teaching for more than two years and is still collecting a salary:
A Queens teacher who collects a $100,000 salary for doing nothing spends time in a Department of Education “rubber room” working on his law practice and managing 12 real-estate properties worth an estimated $7.8 million, The Post found.
Alan Rosenfeld hasn’t set foot in a classroom for nearly a decade since he was accused in 2001 of making lewd comments to junior-high girls and “staring at their butts,” yet the department still pays him handsomely for sitting on his own butt seven hours a day.
Because Rosenfeld is protected by a Union contract, he can’t be fired, receives his full pay and benefits and can do as he pleases. If you don’t think the system needs reform, think again.
The funny thing about security cameras, they record anything. Many a stupid criminal has been found after not realizing that their crime was caught on tape. Sometimes, however, there are fun things that security cameras catch. This guy gives the world something to smile about. (I would have embedded the video, but couldn’t.)
I can’t believe that it is time for me to really sit down and plan out my summer vacation again. I have to start early since I need to find really good airfares to California. While we considered Branson vacation packages, we really wanted to see friends and family again.
This year, I am going to try and make a three legged trip. That requires flying into one airport and out of a different airport. I always try my luck online first before contacting the airlines for this type of trip because sometimes using different airlines for each leg ends of being cheaper. But, the search is much more difficult. I have the price to a somewhat reasonable range, but am hoping that February will bring some better airline deals!

My daughter, who is a sophomore in high school, will never suffer from adult cystic acne. She has the clearest skin that I have ever seen on a teenager. Maybe that is why one of her possible career paths is model. That, plus that fact that she is five foot, nine inches tall. Unfortunately, modeling takes a lot of time and she I am not sure she is willing to give up her activities to be constantly modeling. She does have two other choices on her career list: physical therapist or athletic trainer and photographer. She loves photography and she is really involved in sports so both choices could be good for her.
And then there is always modeling…

Often, during an economic downturn, certain products see a dip in sales. I was certain that products such as organic foods, ephedra diet pills and weight loss products might be among them. Not so. Since America is so overweight, dieting and natural food products are still doing well.
David Browne , an analyst with Chicago-based research firm Mintel Group International, says that organic food sales declined less than 1 percent in 2009. “This is good news for the organic food and drink market, as this group may begin to buy more once recession-related fears begin to fade,” said Browne. Packaged organic food sales such as salads and fruit increased 24 percent from 2007 to 2009. Personally, I do shop for some organic foods. I always buy organic milk and I try and buy some of the other organic food as well. Unfortunately, the prices of organic food is higher and sometimes I have to stay within a food budget.
