Planning weddings

I love to plan weddings.  A wedding is a time of hope, romance, and excitement.  Girls start planning their weddings almost from the moment they are born! I love looking at the different wedding favors and gifts that people can buy to give their guests or their bridesmaids and groomsmen.  Personalized Money Clips are a great idea to give as gifts to the groomsmen!

It’s really a shame

I was reading on the Time.com website that the International Olympic Committee is upholding a ban agains Iraq participating in the Olympics. I didn’t realize that there was a ban in the first place, so I was surprised and interested enough to keep reading. The story was talking about how the government was interfering too much with the country’s Olympic Committee, and how their Olympic Committee was disbanded last May. And then it was talking about how four of the Committee members, including the chief had been kidnapped two years ago and are still missing! Good Grief!

It’s really too bad, but certainly understandable!

Getting a nose job

My sister needs to have her deviated septum in her nose fixed. The procedure is known by several different names; rhinoplasty, nose surgery, nose job are all names for the same procedure. (I think.)  She’s been putting off having the procedure done because she is concerned about the discomfort level during the healing process.  But she really needs to have it done; her deviation is so severe that it is causing her to have chronic sinusitis.  She has a constant sinus headache, and is sniffling all of the time.

I am trying to encourage her to have the procedure done, I am sure that once it is done she will be much more comfortable the rest of her life.  At this point in time every time she catches a cold it always turns into a sinus infection and she is miserable for weeks on end.  Especially since she moved to a different state and her new doctor doesn’t want to give her the antibiotics that she needs to clear up the sinus infection.  Last winter she was sick for four whole months because of that!  So, she really needs this nose job.  I’m going to try to get my girlfriend that had the surgery done last year talk to about it and see if it might calm her nerves about it.

Cuba is changing

Since Raul Castro has taken over running Cuba from Fidel Castro, some pretty significant changes have been happening in Cuba; all of them good.  Raul Castro lifted restrictions on Cubans owning computers and mobile phones, and signed the UN human rights accords.  He has also authorized payments of productivity bonuses to workers, and he is going to try to increase farm productivity by putting more state-controlled farm land into the hands of private farmers.   I think these are all changes for the better!
