A new education alternative

I have been searching for an alternative that would allow me to upgrade my education while still allowing me to maintain my current career and my commitment to my family. This wasn't an easy task, especially considering I live in a fairly rural area with access to the nearest University setting an hour away. It was impossible to find the program I would need to work on my Masters Degree. I recently discovered an online option that will allow people like me to take their degree online. The fully accredited online university programs offered by Capella. Capella offers over 100 graduate and undergraduate programs and is currently serving over 23,000 students in over 45 countries. Programs are designed to be flexible enough to meet your scheduling requirements.

A boy and his Auntie

Jay was very excited to have his favorite aunt come to visit him for his birthday celebration. He really enjoys spending time with her and likes to talk and msn with her in the evenings. Of course she totally spoils him and she always has but it's good for him to have someone he can just spend time with, without expectations. He is hoping to go spend a week with her in the summer when Carrie and Trin go off to New York which would leave me with just the 2 boys.

Party Girl

Even a girl has to join in on the party, we had our relatives over for the weekend to celebrate the kids dance show and our oldest sons birthday. When we got into the cake celebration we started to feel pretty sad for our girl and decided to share a little piece with Breigh. It didn't take her more than a few seconds to devour the treat and she really enjoyed it.

Summertime is coming

Although it isn't even close to being warm we decided to set up the pool to give it a chance to warm up slowly. The kids can't stay out of it going for a swim everyday after school. I tried to stick my hand in the other day and it felt just like a million daggers being shoved into my hand it was that cold. It doesn't seem to bother the kids though they just hop in and have a great time. I sure hope they have a great summer in the pool, it's plenty big for them and looks great in the yard.

Twilight Night

With lots of company over for the weekend we had to find some fun things to do. Saturday night we all decided to watch the movie twighlight movie. The kids thought it was a really cool movie and really enjoyed the snacks and cozy time with family. A couple of them fell asleep during the show and couldn't make it to the end. We had a great weekend with all kinds of food, fun and dancing.

Looking for some Relaxation

After a long day of work and the evening with the kids I am usually quite ready to spend some quality me time relaxing before my wife comes home from work around 2am. It is my time to spend a bit of time working out and doing some relaxation and yoga techniques to release my day's events and get ready to refresh my system with a good nights sleep. I recently found an online forum that sells lots of Tibetan relaxation items that can be used to help me relax. A new product is the Crystal Singing Bowl which are made out of quality quartz crystal and are available in either clear or frosted color. The sound that is created by the singing bowl is so relaxing when done right. The site I found also offers a variety of chimes, gongs and beads to truly help you find great forms of relaxation and harmony.

Asbestos Exposure

Recently their was a home in our area that was discovered to be full of asbestos, the insulation that was used in this home was made with this cancer causing ingredient and being that we live in a small area and news spread quite quickly of the concert. It is a very expensive and tricky clean up when Asbestos is discovered in an older consturction product. For decades it was widely used in construction materials all over the world. Many companies that manufactured this product actually knew about the effects of this product long before it was revealed to the general public leading to many more exposures than should have occured. Asbestos is most commonly linked to Mesothelioma which is an aggressive form of Cancer that attacks the membrane of major organs like the lungs and liver. Once it is in the body it spreads very aggresively and leads to death. It is appaling to think that these corporate tycoons continued to reap the rewards and profits from this product while many people were exposing themselves. Many of these manufactures have gone bankrupt through compensation hearings that awarded compensation to those effected by their negligence. If you or someone you know has been affected by Asbestos it is important to have an experienced Mesothelioma Lawyer on your side that has the ability to properly build and present your case and get you the most compensation possible.

Summer time gas prices

Well you can tell it's summer time again, as we watch the price of gas go up week after week. The cost of gas has risen over 25% over the last 2 months and I am fully expecting by the July long weekend it will be up to the same level as last summer. Does the government really think we are that neive that we don't notice the changes and the rhytm to them. Long weekend coming you can guarantee at least a 4 - 5 cent increase. I can't wait until we have solar powered vehicles for the mass public to use.

The Maniac Mansion Project

A friend of mine bought this old house last spring and I have been helping him gut the interior for the last year in our spare time. It is finally cleaned out back to the framing and ready to get fixed. He is hoping to have at least 1 unit finished for the fall so he can get into it. I have a feeling it will be a busy summer up there. The beauty of this house is it has a beautiful view of the ocean and the harbor so you get to watch the boats in and out all summer.
