If you have a job requiring the use of a printer, whether it’s at a home office or at work, having a dependable printer is very important.   I use mine at work nearly every day and depend on it to make the copies I need.  Some of my co-workers have been having problems with their printers, and it’s very frustrating for them when they need things printed out.   In a couple of cases, two co-workers simply need printer ink but have to wait for a purchase order which means they can’t do their printing for a while.

One thing we don’t have at work are scanners.  That would be neat to be able to scan copies of handwritten items or pictures.  However, if I really need to do that then I can just bring it home and scan it.   Scanners are a very handy piece of office equipment to have plus a dependable printer!

Fair warning: If you have never visited Twinsomnia before, I almost guarantee that you will spend the majority of your afternoon going from post to post and nodding in agreement and/or cracking up. From hilarious or moving stories about her three kids aged five and under (including adorable identical twin boys) to photographs that look like they’re straight out of a magazine, Megan takes precious time that should be spent sleeping and writes a blog that you won’t want to miss.

When you hear the title Grandma, you might picture a sweet old lady in a rocking chair knitting… but that’s not what you’ll find at Grandma’s Guide to Life. Carli writes about working out, shopping and her love for couponing, bargains and saving money. Whether you’re looking for freebies (she has great Mailbox Mondays posts), store deals, giveaways, family talk, craft ideas she has come across and more, this Grandma is blogging her way through it all.

.

Journaling their daily adventures, Holly’s posts at Popsicles and Pigtails range from visits with family to shopping trips to fun blog hops (present company included) and more and feature her warm personality and great photos of her gorgeous daughter, Darbee. A sweet compilation of reasons why Holly is blessed to stay home and watch her daughter grow up, these memories are ones that she will have captured online forever.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

My Christmas wish for you is that you may find a place where you can take a break from the hectic pace this time of year, a place of peace and quiet where you can reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. I hope you can get a cup of your favorite coffee, tea, or hot chocolate and just sit and be still. If you have a chance, here are some Christmas songs with videos to help focus thoughts on the reason for the season…the reason for the joy of the Christmas season which is the birth of Jesus Christ!

Do you know anyone getting a new car for Christmas?  If so, then they will be busy checking out car insurance companies. I don’t guess I’ve ever known anyone who received a car for an actual Christmas present, but I have known those who got a car for a graduation gift.   Sounds like a really nice gift to get a new car, whether a new “used car” or a brand new car!

This week has been so busy for most people, and for some it’s to the point of being crazy and hectic.  They don’t have time for insurance quotes, reading their favorite book, or anything that’s not directly related to Christmas.  We’re pretty much (that’s a Texas saying I guess, I don’t know how “much” could be “pretty”) finished getting ready except for one more quick trip to the store.  Hope your day is relaxed and enjoyable!

Family Dollar awarded their Family Dollar Holiday Dream Dash Contest grand prize winners with a free holiday shopping spree recently: “The Hayes family of Nashville, Tennessee grabbed as many $5 toys and gifts and other holiday items as their shopping cart could handle, in just ninety seconds, filling up on items that will be donated to the Nashville Rescue Mission.”  How awesome that the Hayes family donated their winnings to the homeless.  That’s the true spirit of Christmas!

The holidays are a time when I usually gain at least five pounds.  I think I’m doing OK so far and haven’t gained but maybe a pound, so there’s no need for Lipofuze or anything like that.  One thing that has helped has been the fact that I’ve done very little baking of sweets.   I’ve baked cookies once, and I realized it’s a good idea I don’t bake cookies much.  Fresh baked cookies right out of the oven are too hard to resist!  If I baked cookies every week, I would definitely gain at least five pounds.

This time of year is so busy!  I’m thankful there’s such a thing as POSGuys to make checking out at the store much quicker!  Do some of you remember the days when the person at the checkout counter had to search for the price on the item and then ring it up?  That took so much time, especially if they couldn’t find the price.  Then they would have to send somebody back to find the price on the shelf or bring up another item with a price tag.  Can you imagine what Friendly Friday would be like if we still had prices on items to be rung up?  Technology has made shopping much more efficient time-wise!

I had a nice surprise this week! Family Dollar sent a package to me, and this is what I found inside the box:

When I opened the gifts, I found two children’s gifts. There were boxing gloves for a boy and this adorable baby doll for a girl. Both gifts are only $5 at Family Dollar. If you’re needing some last minute inexpensive gifts for kids, then check out Family Dollar. Last time I was there, they had a good selection of children’s toys for $5 and $10.

Welcome to Friendly Friday!
