Thanks for the article from Isaiah Gaines
Living here was one of the scariest things I ever did I have to say the move was a good one because I got this job. The whole reason I came to Philadelphia in the first place was to take over this social media position and I think I have really done a lot and proved myself in just a short time. I convinced my boss to get us Philadelphia T1 for the office because the Internet here was painfully slow and I've done a lot to really get our clients engaged with the store on the social media level. At first my boss was really resistant to sending out online coupons but after he saw the response he got via twitter I think he changed his mind. Tell her up and I have to say that my efforts are definitely contributing to the windfall and I think I have a bright future here at this company. The big news is that I love living in Philadelphia and I will stay here no matter what job I have!

Trip To Florida
On Wednesday my daughter Becca leaves for Florida. She will be traveling with my sister Trisha, her husband Mike, and their two boys Hudson and Logan. They have a full week planned with visits to Disney World, Sea World, a beach somewhere, and a possible excursion to see Winter the Dolphin. Becca is so excited to be going and Wednesday cannot get here fast enough. I do have to say I am a little jealous as she has already been to all these places once and I have never been able to go. I hope she has a lot of fun and doesn't miss her mommy too much. :)

Gym
Thanks for the post from Lynn Guy
I work out at the local gym. It’s one of those 24 hour places where you can pop in anytime that works for your schedule. This is perfect for me because I have bad insomnia sometimes, and when I just can’t sleep, I go to the gym and workout. By the time I am done with the workout, my body is tired and it is much easier for me to fall asleep. They’ve got a tv there, with a remote that I can control. I’m usually the only one there at that time, so I can pick what to watch. The only problem is, nothing is ever on that late! Unless you like those shows where they try to sell you stuff, there aren’t many choices. At home I use expertsatellite, so I can watch what I want anytime. Not so at the gym. I’m not sure what they have (cable?), but I sure wish I could pick something to watch that is on at a different time; either that or Sex and the City reruns that I love.

Volleyball
This Saturday my 12 year old daughter will be going to a College Volleyball camp. I am really excited for her to get some one on one coaching from collegiate players. Becca is a strong volleyball player for only being in the sixth grade. She has a very strong serve, can receive well, and has a pretty good understanding of the game. She is also very excited as the other girls she is used to playing with will also be at camp. They are all hoping to learn a great deal and improve on their game.

Far Away
Guest written by our friend Donnie Donovan
Being so far away from family has made life pretty boring for me, to tell you the truth. I was used to going to one of my sister’s houses jus about every night for dinner and since I took this new job I don’t have much to do at night so I spend a lot of time online or watching my http://www.direc4u.com/il/p/peoria/ channels. I’m actually really into sports right now since I’ve always been a tomboy and football is really big here which is nice. I love being in the know when it comes to my favorite teams. I think it makes me a better single woman since men like it when women like sports and can watch with them and I not only like sports, I love them! I think it’s so much fun to get behind a team and cheer them on. I really miss my family but sometimes I have to remember that I needed to get out on my own and start something new. That’s the place I’m in right now.

Happy 2012
I just cannot believe that it is 2012. I had a great time with family bringing in the new year. It was so fun watching all the little cousins play hard all night long, it was a treat for them to stay up way past their bedtimes. I hope this is a tradition that is in the making, being with family and having the little ones hang out, having a blast at grandma's. Those are some of the fond memories I have of growning up, being at my grandma's and celebrating with all my cousins which I didn't get to see often.

Branch Through Window
Post contributed by Toni Jensen
I was really glad that we had decided to get home security this summer when I got a call from our service provider when we were relaxing at the beach. The alarm had detected activity and no one was answering the phone. The alarm system provider immediately called the police and had them go to our home. It turns out that there was a big storm while we were gone. The whole week was going to be filled with bad and nasty weather back home. A tree branch had been struck by lightening and fallen smack dab through our bay window in the living room in the back of the house. It immediately set off our glass break alarm and alerted the security system and the police. Because we have a high fence in our back yard, if we hadn’t had a security system, the burst window could have sat there the entire week. The rain and other debris would have gotten in the house and ruined everything in the living room. While I was really glad that someone wasn’t breaking into the house, I was even more glad that we found out about the window and fixed it before more damage could be done!

Last Football Game Of The Season
Tonight is my son's last JV Football game of the season. Tonight they head over to Clarion and I hope the come home with a victory. This season has not been a winning season for the JV team, which is very unfortunate as the varsity team is finally having a great year. I home Cole is able to have a great game and scores at least one touchdown. He is a wide receiver, he plays Y, whatever that means. It seems he is thrown to more the end of the game or when they are in a crunch. Go Indians.

DVD encore of Memphis
Guest post written by Sandy Wolfe
There's nothing quite like seeing a Broadway show, or at least that's my opinion. I really love seeing them each and every time I go. That's only about four Broadway shows now but I never seem to grow tired of them. There's a really great reason why they're so popular. I went and saw Memphis last time we went to New York and I heard they filmed a live performance and released it as a DVD, so I wanted to track it down and watch it again.
While I was looking online to try and find it, I saw a site where you can compare hearing aids. I've thought about getting some for a while now, so that helped me figure out which ones I actually need.
I found a really great Memphis show review, which I completely agreed with, and then I finally found a place where I could rent the DVD. It was so great to watch it again. It was almost like we were there watching it again. It was the next best thing to actually sitting in the audience.

iPhone or Droid
It's time for me to consider a new cell phone, as mine is not working very well. My brother owns a Droid and absolutely loves it. He likes that it has an actual keyboard, not just a touch screen. Being on the Internet is easy and he has no problems connecting. My sister has the iPhone and she also loves her phone. She loves that it is just a touch screen, iPod, and the Internet also. It seems to me that they both have wonderful options and I just need to decided and make my purchase. Too bad both phones cannot be combined into just one, the best of both.

Actos Lawsuit
It seems that when we need to take a medication for health issues it almost becomes a toss up as to wether we should really take those medications because of the serious side effects. One such instance is the drug Actos, which is prescribed for those with Type II Diabetes. The side effects range for heart attacks, heart failure, and bladder cancer. This makes me very sad as that there are many people that suffer from Diabetes, including my own mom, who are now at risk for something maybe even worse that what they are being treated for. If someone suffers from one of these side effects an Actos lawsuit is always a possibility.
I was paid for this post. My honest opinion was given and not swayed in any way.

Football Season
Football season is upon us. For those of us that love the sport whether it is the NFL, college, or high school the season is upon us. Three days of football, my husband is going to be in heaven. There is Friday night when our son will be playing, Saturdays when there is college ball and he can watch the Iowa Hawkeyes, and then there is Sunday watching the Minnesota Vikings. I am excited to watch Cole on Friday nights but that is about the extent of my enthusiasm. Looks like John is going to be or not be doing much for the next three months.
