That was Easy

Thanks to Darwin Barton

I was pretty psyched when I realized Richland Hills has Direct Energy rates. It seems like an odd thing to be excited about, but honestly anything that makes my life easier makes me so happy. For example, when companies first started letting customers pay bills online, I did a small victory yell. I know it sounds extreme, but it allowed me to stop buying so many envelopes and stamps. I could stop worrying about sending the bill far in advance. Since the whole process was automated, it just took a little bit of those tedious tasks off my plate. For me, it is sort of like the “that was easy” button from Staples. Anything that makes me say, “that was easy” is wonderful in my mind. My mom always teases me for getting so excited for things like that. She equates it to how I used to get excited whenever she bought be a new toothbrush. Obviously, a company having their rates posted or allowing you to pay bills online is not the same as getting a new toothbrush. But for me, making something easy makes me happy.

"Fold-Up Car"

I saw this car at yahoo this morning. I thought the "Smart" car was the smallest one they could only think but this "Fold-up car" of the future is a tiny car designed in Spain. They called it "Hiriko," the Basque word for "urban,"a two-seater with no doors whose motor is located in the wheels and which folds up like a child's collapsible buggy, or stroller, for easy parking.

Show Your Support for Walgreens

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

As we know Walgreens and Express Scripts  are no longer "partners" on business. As of Jan 1, 2012, Express Scripts is no longer Walgreens' network provider when they decided not to renew their contact with Walgreens when it expires on Dec 31, 2011. So this moved has affected thousands of customers across the country. Click here on the press release for Wagreens-Express Scripts Program.

As far as I know, Walgreens is the only pharmacy that offers 24 hour and drive-thru pharmacy service. So patients who are affected of this mess have to drive farther to get their prescription filled or have to wait next day when their new pharmacy open. Patients have forced to leave Walgreens in order to use their in-network coverage. TRICARE (a health care program of the United States Department of Defense Military Health System) members are also affected of this dispute when Express Scripts' rejected Walgreens offer to contract separately for Tricare so now military members and it's beneficiaries are also affected of this mess.

But the good news is Walgreens wants to help by offering a special discount on  Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens . For only $5 individual membership you would be able to save on thousands on brand names and generic names. Plus you get discounts on flu shots, pet prescriptions, nebulizers and diabetic supplies.

As Walgreens customers, let's show our support by contacting our local media by expressing our dissatisfaction. Also, follow Walgreens on Twitter and like Walgreens on Facebook   to show  them that we are loyal customers.

LCD Screen Protectors

My husband has been looking for an affordable screen protectors for his digital camera. He found one on EBay for 20$ per pack which only has 2 LDC Kit. I think it's way too expensive compared to what I've paid before when I bought one pack for my cell phone. Amazon has one for $2.80 but I'm not sure if this one is what we are looking for.
Screen Protectors are great for cell phones PDA's or navigation systems. It protects screen from scratches wear and damage. It also reduces screen glare and improves contrast .

Wetsuits for Scuba Divers

I know surfers and scuba divers are dedicated to their sports. I have a cousin in the Philippines that is married to a professional scuba divers. For him, scuba diving is not just a sport but also a profession. He works in a company that export pearls. They go underwater and look for pearls and his company makes a lot of money by exporting the products. Every time he goes to the island where he works, he always bring at least two pairs of diving wetsuits with him. Wetsuit keeps you warm so that you can stay out longer underwater.
So, if you are a surfer or a scuba diving enthusiast, don't let cold water stop you from exploring underwater. Look or search the web for Body Glove Wetsuits before you hit the water. They have Prime Wetsuits which is their latest wetsuits in the market. Also they have Vapor Wetsuit where it set the standard for warmth, flexibility and comfort. Body Glove also creates wetsuits specifically for women.

High School Football

I appreciate the guest post, Lindsay Valdez.

I love high school football. My son plays wide receiver at our local high school, and every Friday night is dedicated to watching the team play. I am a member of the booster club and I also run the teams website. We have clear internet through directv phone service, but the school has different provider. The website that I help to maintain has information about the team, coaches, schedule and other related information. One pretty cool idea I came up with was to have alumni and past players register online so the program could keep up with where past players currently are in life. It has been a big success. Almost fifty past players have signed up. There are doctors, lawyers and one ex- NFL who graduate from our local high school who have registered online. I love being a part of the football program. There is a great coaching staff in place, and this is a great community. Our second son is in the sixth grade, so we look forward too many more Friday nights spend at the high school football stadium.

What I Want For Christmas?

A month ago my husband asked me what I want for Christmas?, I could not think right away. So I just said whatever. What I was trying to say is , whatever I get I'll be happy. Because, in all honesty, I really don't need anything material for Christmas. As long as I have clothes to wear, food to eat and a place to stay, I felt like I have everything I need.
God has been good to us all this time. I was able to bring my Mom here in the US, My sister finished her college last March, and more countless blessings that we received just this past year and I could not ask anything for more. So,all I want for Christmas and not only Christmas but throughout the year and beyond is good health, love and peace to all my love ones and people that I know.

My prayers and wishes to all the victims of typhoon Sendong in Mindanao. I pray that God would give them strength and hope in this time of their life. It's just breaks my heart every time I think of them especially the people who lost their love ones.
