Reliving prom a little with my daughter

I realize that I’m way past the age to care about prom dress shopping, but I like to put myself in my prom-going shoes to help my daughter some. Prom is a much bigger deal now than it was back when I was in high school. I guess that I shouldn’t be that surprised about it because there are so many things that are made specifically about prom and TV and movies make it into a much bigger deal than back in my day. It gets me a little excited too so I’m having a lot of fun helping her pick out all kinds of prom stuff.

I’ve been doing a fair amount of research to help her pick out some prom trends for this year and when I was doing that I saw some bankrupt alternatives online. I hadn’t been looking for them, but I thought that I could really use them with all of my credit card debt, so I’m going to check them out.

I’ve already seen all types of gorgeous dresses, but I’m really supportive of a cocktail length dress and awesome shoes instead of a floor length gown. I think that the shorter dresses tend to cost a little less anyway.

Audio conference services

Posted on 1st March 2012 in Business, Internet, Life, Opinion, Technology/Gadgets

Audio conferencing services are a great way to help more people be able to work from their homes. There are many jobs now that rely heavily on computers, the Internet, and audio conferencing for the majority of their work day. I think that it’s a wonderful option to be able to do that, and I wish that more companies offered that option to more of their employees.

Tractor Races

This video is amusing. I can’t imagine using my new tractor to participate in such an activity. I suppose a person would use an old beater rather than a nice new one like mine.

These men look like they are having a great time. I wonder how one would run if it was jacked up with over sized tires?

A Perfectly Good Cell Phone, Down The Toilet

Posted on 12th February 2012 in Internet, Money/Finances, Shopping, Technology/Gadgets

Funny how the title of this post basically tells it all. I dropped my cell phone into the toilet. What a dope! Of course I don’t have insurance on the darn thing. So it’s looks like I’m now in the market to find a new cell phone. I’m glad that Internet will make it a much easier task so that I won’t have to go running from store to store to find the right one for me. But it still will take some time to do a decent amount of research, I don’t want to get stuck with something that I will regret this time around.

Not something I think about too much

Posted on 10th February 2012 in Environment, Friends/Family, Home and Garden, Internet, Life, Opinion

To be perfectly honest, interior design is not something that I spend a lot of time thinking about. Sure, it’s nice to have colors coordinated, and it’s nice to have the furniture look like it was all designed in the same style, but being a guy who prefers spending time in his “man cave” or in the garage, I leave the details of the interior design of the house to my wife.

Today when I came home I noticed that my wife had put a boot tray by the front door, and had positioned some boots and shoes on it. And she had a couple of cardboard boxes marked “donate” filled with some old clothes on the floor nearby. I asked her what was going on and she told me that she had been looking at an interior design website that had led her to a webpage about living greener and she decided to put some of their suggestions into action. Well, I have to agree that it makes good sense to donate old clothes and leave the shoes/boots by the door, but I don’t know how easy it is going to be for me to remember to take my shoes off when I come inside. We never had to do that at my parent’s house when we were growing up, so it may take a while to get re-trained.
