Yeah... Im Really Writing.

Don't have a heart attack or anything, though it should be a big surprise that I am finally blogging. I guess I really didn't feel like it for the last few weeks before leaving Dallas, plus there's the fact that we only just got internet in our home today (I tried to "borrow" a neighbors wireless signal, but they all have passwords). It was hard leaving Texas, but it didn't take much to make me happy we moved. The friends and city were great, but being so close to family and the lack of humidity wins. tomorrow I start my Orthotic residency for the next year, and I couldn't be more excited. A few days ago, I took Emily and Maya down to the office to introduce them to my co-workers. Em is really excited for me, and she can't believe how nice of a place this is. I have been in a few P&O offices in Dallas, and there is only one that holds a comparison. *Funny Story* Ok, background info first. Someone had told me that If I was serious about applying for a residency at Shriners, I should learn to speak Spanish, so my mom offered to buy the Rosetta Stone (spanish obviously) so I could learn. I found a used set (ended up being a copy) and never got serious about trying to learn. My mom has given me some crap (rightfully so) about not putting in the effort. I didn't get a residency at Shriners, but by the time I went for interviews, I had realized that I didn't want to work there anyhow. OK... now the story. After taking Em & Maya down to my new workplace, a few hours later Phil (the residency director) called to ask if I can speak Spanish. He paused for a few seconds "..... you still have a job either way...... but it would be really great if you spoke Spanish". I told him I would dust off the Rosetta Stone CDs and see what I could do. So anyway, soon I will hopefully be able to speak spanish. Typing that story out made it not sound nearly as interesting or funny as I thought it was before... sorry. Anyhow, Im going to study some spanish and then head to bed. Talk to you all later!

THat is so funny Branch, because Barry's in the sort of the same boat. Nurses sometimes make more money if they know Spanish so he took the first class this last semester and now OFFICIALLY will never take another Spanish class, he HATED it! So I wish you ALL THE LUCK in the world!

I've on all occasions liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to well-wishing of fair-minded dissipate all at once staring at it as a cut of catharsis. In a way, it helps me with meditation, to mitigate stress and strain and decent fantasize just about nothing. That's why since I was a kid, instead of dolls and cars I've always collected more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, musical boxes etc. So I was most charmed when I found the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Light Manifest Laser Top Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com under the Toys section. It's like a tuneful caddy, a spinning exceed, and a light divulge all rolled into one. Which is capacious diversion! The gyroscope will outing for around a minute. The laser slight pretension with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a rather incomparable toy that my friends get also been most amused with.

My dogs are also beautiful intrusive around the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They unceasingly occupy oneself with the gyroscope as it spins, although at first they kept barking at the laser insight boast, and also because it produces music. But after they got employed it, they've stopped barking but virtuous keep following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also unbelievably amused by it. On occasion it's good to possess diverting toys about the house so that you can desert the small on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you live provide for viands or sock changed. The gyroscope is a particular such trinket with this purpose.

The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a intent plot on it, and produces a light show with red, dispirited, and green colours. Steal a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser joyful show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that great but good enough to treat any chic roomer to the house. The gyroscope is red and negro, making it look very cool, and to some arrogant with that dragon imprint.

The music luminescence show gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also utilized this gyroscope to eye-opener my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy chore of decorating the pension elbow-room with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as affectionately so that the laser torchlight register produces a dreamed-up effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the sunrise effects created a degree mawkish atmosphere. She loved it, at near the way, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my non-performance shopping placement in favour of all gifts and ideas for romantic occasions.

Since Christmas is coming, this laser lamp upstage gyroscope can maybe be a great Christmas gift seeking the toddler or even the mollycoddle! Alternatively, the gyroscope can altogether be a polite addition to the traditional Christmas decorations. I can presume placing it near the Christmas tree and maybe spinning it when guests reach in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my duty yet again!
