My wife told me that it is time for me to order some more work clothes from the Workinggear.com.  It’s been over a year since I’ve bought any Carhartt jackets or Dickies coveralls.  They both take a lot of abuse, but I really put mine through extra tough punishment.  Even though they are still in good repair, they are pretty badly stained and my wife says that it makes me look unprofessional to go to work in clothes that look dirty after they’ve been washed.  So these old work clothes will be retired to my odd jobs around the house instead of going out on the job with me.

So I’ve given her the “go ahead” to order some new clothes for me, and asked her to order a couple new pairs of Levi’s while she’s at it.  I like the fit and comfort, as well as the durability of Levi’s, and it’s time that I retired my old work Levi’s, moved my “good Levi’s” to “work” status and replace my “good Levi’s” with new ones.  I try to rotate them like that a couple of times every year.

I just read that Sarah Palin is resigning as governor of Alaska!  She had two years left to serve in her term.  She’s being very vague about the reason she is resigning, saying she can better serve America outside a government role.  I wonder what that means!  I can’t imagine that doing this will improve her odds of ever winning the Presidency!  What a shocker!

Lately I’ve been reading in the local newspapers and hearing on the television news shows about how crime is on the rise.  More homes are being broken into, more purse snatching going on in the local stores.  Unemployment is on the rise and that naturally causes crime to rise.  It’s a sad fact of life, but there it is.  Not much one can do about it but try to keep yourself, you family, and your home as safe and secure as possible.  The business of installing home security alarm systems is on the rise!  A very competitive market right now, with bargains to be had.

I was quite upset yesterday when I went to the store to buy a few items that I needed. I only needed to spend $15, but my wife and I like to use our Discover card to pay for things because we like the rewards that we get every month. I was very upset when the store told me that the credit card was declined because by card was over the limit! The last time I knew, the credit limit was over $11,000 and I had only $2,000 on the card! I pay the bills every month in FULL and ON TIME! I was never notified that the credit limit was dropped, and I have no idea why it was dropped! I called the Customer Service line and they won’t tell me why it was dropped. I am NOT pleased at all, so I guess I’ll be paying with cash from now on, and although I won’t be cancelling the card, they won’t be getting much of my business from now on!

My wife has signed up for some ballet classes that start in a couple of weeks.  She used to take ballet when she was a young child growing up.  She’s been going crazy the last couple of days trying to find a local place that sells Capezio Dance Supplies because she wants to buy a Capezio leotard to wear to class.  She hasn’t had to buy a leotard ever before because her parents used to buy them for her.  After all, she was just a little girl!  So she’s been looking around and can’t find adult size leotards anywhere in town!  So it looks like she is going to have to buy them off of the Internet and hope they fit her.
