Easy way to send flowers

One of the thing that I really like about the latest technology today is you can do your shopping without living your home. Take for example, you want to send a gift for someone, let's say a flower. All you have to do is turn your computer on, make sure that you are connected to the internet of course, type in send flowers online on your search box, or just type in flowers and there's hundreds of website that you can visit and search for flower arrangement. Now if you want to be specific on what you're looking for, just change your keyword search. You can also narrow your search to your local area by adding your city.

I found this website that don't charge a service fee and delivery is included on the price and they also have a collection that when someone order they donate 18% of the gross from each item purchased from that collection. Here's a sample of an arrangement from the collection.

Here's another one that I really love because of the pop of color. It's cheery and fun, lavender roses, hydrangea, calla-lily, hyacinth, and more.

HP NetBooks



As an older student, there are times that I still prefer to write using a pen and paper during lecture instead of using a computer to take notes. But there are a lot of students now a days that prefer using a laptop to take to school to do note taking and pretty much everything else. Well instead of using a bulky laptop why note use an hp netbooks.

Let me give you some of the benefits of using a netbook.

I'ts lightweight. Netbooks tend to be smaller, lighter and have smaller screen.

They are super compact. You can easily whip out your netbook and take notes without annoying student next to you, compare to pulling a full 17 inch laptop inside a crowded lecture hall.

I'm only giving you 2 but if you want to find out what other benefits you can get, all you have to do is check out the features of netbook.

Stadiometer??!

Before I went to nursing school, I have absolutely no idea of the terminologies, let alone the names of the different instrument used by the hospitals, clinics, nurses, doctors or any other medical personnel. When I came across the word stadiometer I immediately thought it's something that you used for measuring something... because it has meter on the word. Well, it turns out it is "a device for measuring height that typically consists of a vertical ruler with a sliding horizontal rod or paddle which is adjusted to rest on the top of the head" that's according to merriam webster dictionary.

Here's a picture of it.



There you go folks, you learned something new everyday.

Gifts for HIM

Have you been in a situation where you just can't think of any gifts to give somebody. It is specially difficult if you are giving gifts to a guy. With me for some reason, I always end up buying clothing and it's so predictable.

Our anniversary is next month as well as my husband's birthday. Although I already gave him a birthday gift... I know it was really early. But I'm still looking for gifts for his anniversaryor should I saw "our" anniversary.

I found this really cool website that has gifts for the man in your life. Check out the pictures below.




YUM! Aren't they look yummy?

Crown Steel Building

So I found this really nice metal building that I think will work in our backyard. There used to be a small shed beside that garage and it's not really working for us, it's just an eye sore. So now that it has been taken down, the next plan is to tear down the other small shed and just build an extension or a separate building. Finding the right one while not spending too much is a bit difficult.

When I found this image I thought it's the answer to our shed problem. With this metal building it has a straight sides with high sidewall with no poles to get in the way. It can be used for a one car or two car garage, a backyard workshop, a commercial shop which will work with the business of my husband and it can also work as a equipment storage. What I really love about this is that the building can be customized to match with the current appearance of our house.
