Envy

I just don’t get it.  A few days ago, I was driving my car and saw another car with a license plate that read “OK2ENVY”  Isn’t envy supposed to be a BAD thing?

Summer vacation fun

My kids and I have been talking about what we are going to do this summer, while they are on school vacation.  We’ve been talking about doing something fun and different this year, something we can really enjoy together.  We are interested in doing something that involves learning about the environment while incorporating physical activity.  We think we will go to a summer camp together!

We’ve decided that we want to learn take surf lessons!  We have a dear family friend who lives in North Carolina who has told us of a company that holds summer camps near her that teaches families how to surf!  They offer their surf camps as teen camps, women only camps, family adventure camps, adult camps, and kid’s summer camps.  They have day camps and overnight camps – it seems that they have it all!  They hold the surf lessons and camps in a wide variety of locations, in Florida, in North Carolina, in Hawaii, in the Caribbean, and in Costa Rica.  The ratio of students to teachers is 3:1, which sounds like a good thing – my kids and I could have our very own teacher to ourselves!  The family surf camp for days is a five day program, where the students are taught the fundamentals of surfing.  It sounds promising!

I like VHS tapes better than DVDs

I just don’t understand why people like DVDs better than video tapes.  I like being able to record tv shows on my VCR to watch later at my convenience.  I like being able to stop the tape in the middle of the show, and eject the tape, and later put the tape back in and press play and the show starts right where you left it – no searching around for “scenes.”

 I think tapes are much easier to use than DVDs.  Usually, if someone gives me a DVD as a gift, I never even watch it!  I just don’t like how complicated the remote is for the DVD player, and I don’t like having to search for “scenes” on the thing!

My aunt’s birthday is coming up

I have an aunt who loves to call her relatives in England every week.  She is living on a very limited budget; in fact her only income is Social Security, so money is very tight for her.  For her birthday present I am planning to give her some phone calling cards so that she can call her favorite relatives without causing her financial hardship.

I have found a website, www.phonecardsavenue.com that sells cheap phone cards.  They offer a great 3% rebate program that will make it even cheaper for me to buy the phone cards for my aunt’s gift.  In this time of economical uncertainty, we all need to pinch every penny!
