Groomsmen Gifts

Posted by | wedding | Tuesday 30 June 2009 8:09 am

I was really surprised at my sisters wedding just recently. I know that she did things on a budget and they did thank everyone for what they had contributed. They didn’t have any groomsmen gifts because there were no grooms men so they saved a lot of money that way. The best man was the grooms son and he was not given a gift as he did not really contribute very much to the ceremony apart from making a little speech which he was really too shy to do. Therefore they had no best man gifts either. The bridesmaids were a mixture of the bride and grooms children and friends and although they also had a verbal thank you there were no presents for them either. There were also no gifts for the mothers who both worked hard at helping out. I assume that thank you letters were sent, although I didn’t get one for my gift and so I felt that things were done quite oddly indeed. I suppose that I am used to weddings where the gift list is sent out well in advance and the thank you letters are often sent before the wedding because the bride and groom are off on honeymoon and do not have time to do them afterwards.

Fun with Oakleys

Posted by | Shopping | Tuesday 30 June 2009 8:04 am

My husband has got a bit of a thing for designer sunglasses. I remember that when we first met he had a pair of oakleys. He used to wear them on his head a lot and one day we were in a shopping centre and on a balcony. We were kissing and I ran my hands through his hair and nicked his sunglasses down to the floor below. Fortunately none of the pieces hit anyone and a friendly child ran around and gathered up the bits. I was really worried because they had fallen apart but my husband was not at all worried. He laughed and said that they could withstand anything, even me. He was right ? we found the lens and arm that had come off and he easily snapped it back together. I guess I am used to wearing prescription glasses and they are nowhere near as resiliant and would have probably broken after a fall like that. This was a very long time ago and now he is after a new pair. He would really like a pair of oliver peoples sunglasses and has been reading reviews in order to find out whether they will wear as well as his Oakleys have.

Surprise Party

Posted by | Shopping | Monday 8 June 2009 8:36 pm

I have just had the most amazing surprise. I am soon to become a grandmother for the first time and my friends held a baby shower for me. It was amazing. They had got together and decided that as a grandmother to be, I would want to celebrate as much as the mother to be (which is true) and I would benefit from having some gifts of things which would be useful for me to keep at my place for when the baby visits. So a small group of friends got together and bought me some lovely baby shower gifts including some burp clothes, bibs, feeding sets and changing mat. It was really kind of them and also so lovely of them to acknowledge that I would enjoy such an occasion. They really put the effort in and had some lovely baby shower decorations as well as having some games. They had a lovely spread of food with some nibbles and sandwiches, lovely champagne and a selection of diaper cakes. It was such a lovely occasion and it meant so much to me to have my friends put in such an effort all for me.

Gastroenterologists in Utah

Posted by | Health | Monday 8 June 2009 7:52 am

My friend is a Utah gastroenterologist and is getting a bit worried about his job. He says that there seem to be a lot more people coming on to the job market with his sorts of qualifications and he is concerned that he could find more clinics opening up to compete with his and there is a chance that he woudl either have to lower his costs or close down if people go to other places rather than his. He does not have that much competition at the moment as he is positioned in an area where there are not that many competitors but if there are lots of gastroenterologists in Utah all of a sudden, they may notice that he has a good location and decide to open up nearby. He is busy and so could cope with one other clinic sharing his business but if too many opened up nearby he could be in big trouble. He loves what he does and if anything interferes with that then he starts to worry and panic and it is not nice to see him like that. I do hope it all works out well for him as he works really hard and deserves to do well and for his clinic to thrive.

Basement Window Well

Posted by | Business | Tuesday 2 June 2009 7:14 pm

It is amazing what good quality window wells are around these days. I used to think they were all old a rusty and nasty but I have been noticing that my neighbours have been having theirs replaced with some lovely ones. Not only do they look clean and neat but they add some style to the house. They have all managed to find ones which fit into the design of the house but also somehow managed to give their property a unique feel. It has certainly made me think that I should look into getting my basement window well done and I think I will ask those who have had it done, who they went to for it as theirs are so very impressive. I am sure they cost quite a bit of money but I do have some saved up towards home repairs and I think that these egress window well fittings have got me thinking about safety as well as style and it would be worth having an exit form the basement as ours is rusted together and so will not work as a fire exit. I will start doing some research right away I think.

Utah replacement windows

Posted by | Business | Tuesday 2 June 2009 7:11 pm

I have been looking around for a Utah windows company. My mother needs some new windows in her house and she is too old to be bothered with looking around to find a company to do the work for her and so I have volunteered to help her. For her, money is not an issue, it is more making sure that the people she has to do the job, are not only kind and friendly but work fast as she does not want to be without windows for very long. I am sure that a lot of companies will be able to help me and I have contacted a few already. I have spoken to each so that I know what they are like to deal with and am now getting a few quotes. I think that even though my mother has lots of money, that is no reason for not worrying about price, I think I should try to get her good value for money. Also having people at her house doing quotes gives her a chance to talk to some of the Utah replacement windows representatives and judge for herself which she likes the best.

Phoenix bankruptcy lawyer

Posted by | Legal | Tuesday 2 June 2009 7:09 pm

I was at a party recently and started chatting to a Phoenix bankruptcy lawyer. They were really interesting to talk to as they were telling me all about how their job works and the type of person that they help. I know nothing about law or Phoenix bankruptcy and so I learned a lot about both things which was great. I half expected it to be a bit of a boring topic and almost regretted asking them about their job until they started explaining things to me. It was fascinating to understand how they get qualified and how they help desperate people out of trouble and back on a path of financial hope again. I thought that it would all be pretty dull stuff but learning about what bankruptcy is and how it works for people was really interesting. It sounded like the job was really satisfying because they helped so many people. I suppose with the economic situation as it is, they are probably really busy at the moment, but if they can help lots of people then that is fantastic. I am sure they will be doing everything that they can.
