I never realized when Lisa told me that she needed to get a couple of sets of scrubs for her new job, that buying scrubs would involve so many different choices! I thought that I would surprise her with a pair or two for a Christmas gift, but when I went online to http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/ and saw all of the different ones to choose from I started to think that maybe the best thing to do for her is to give her a gift card to buy her own.
I think it is great that there ARE so many different patterns to choose from; it makes a visit to the hospital or to the doctor less frightening for children, and could be a conversation starter for other folks. It certainly lets the patients know that the nurses and doctors have a personality and a sense of humor! It’s good to know that the people in charge of your health care have a sense of humor! Makes the whole process a little less intimidating, you know what I mean?
I saw on the news that the statue of the baby Jesus that was stolen a few days ago has been found and recovered. Apparently the thief had posted on Facebook that she had it, and posted pictures of it on Facebook! Someone on her “friend” list notified the police and the police recovered it. Just exactly why the thief thought it would be a good idea to post of Facebook that they had the stolen statue is something I’ll never know. How dumb can a person be?
One of the things that always interests me is looking at “behind the scenes” equipment and props. So yesterday when my wife and I dropped in to visit her folks at their shipping store I was interested to see them getting ready to load their van with their trade show exhibits equipment. I had forgotten that they go to a lot of trade shows to promote their business!
Betty exclaimed that we were right on time to help them load up the directors chairs and table top display while she went into the storage room to find the new table covers she had just got in. Fortunately this trade show is only about two miles away from their shop, so they don’t have to get up too early tomorrow morning to get to the Expo Center to set up their displays. They gave my wife and I two free tickets to get into the trade show, but I don’t know if we’ll be able to get back there to attend or not.
I’ve been hearing a lot of stories going around how people are vandalizing folks Christmas nativity scenes and stealing their baby Jesus from the manger. I was listening to a radio show this morning where the disc jockey was laughing about how so many people are doing that and suggested that their station hold a contest to see who could steal the most baby Jesus dolls from their neighborhoods.
I think that is a horrible thing to do. In this wonderful season of Christmas, to go out and steal other people’s baby Jesus from their nativity? I don’t have a nativity scene on my lawn, and I don’t think that I am going to buy one either since it sounds like this is a prank that will go on for a very long time. I would be very upset if I went out and bought a set, and put it up, and then some prankster stole the baby Jesus!
Well my wife has asked me to start decorating the house for Christmas before the weather gets any colder. I don’t mind decorating the house, that happens to be something I really look forward to doing! Every year I go out and buy another yard ornament to fancy up the exterior of the house. It doesn’t take a really long time to do; I don’t climb up onto the roof, but I do trim around it. I like those icicle strings of lights that hang down from the rafters; I think those look really sharp. And I like to wrap strings of lights around the posts of the front porch, too.
I have a few reindeer statues that light up that I like to put in the front yard, and an inflatable snowman. Well, I could go on and on, but then I wouldn’t have time to decorate! So, off I go. I hope you have fun decorating your house too!
