I am really happy to hear when someone displays that they have a sense of humor! In this day of doom and gloom, we need to laugh at ourselves from time to time. And for that reason, I was drawn to watch, and share with you, Joe Jonas (from the Jonas Brothers) rendition of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies.” I have to admit I’ve never even heard a Jonas Brother song (that I’m aware of) but Joe Jonas has my kudos for doing this video. I heard that it was done because he lost a bet, but whatever the reason, good for him!

I can’t wait for the end up June to arrive. I will then be totally done with my two year commitment with my current cell phone provider. I’m so tired of their B.S. and have wanted to sign up with another provider for such a long while now.

The Internet will certainly come in handy in finding which provider will have all the things that I need. A chore like this one could take some time and time is money, neither which I have much of these days.

I am one of those people that waits until the very last minute to turn in my tax returns, so I have gotten used to the lines and the crowds at the Post Office come each April 15th. But I have to say that each year the number of people in the Post Office has been on the decline. I imagine that it is because more and more people are doing their taxes online.

Well, last weekend my sister & her hubby came over for a visit.  The  visit went very well.  My hubby & hers shot some pool in the game room and hung out while my sister dragged me to the local Bed, Bath & Beyond store.  She bought me a Roomba vacuum cleaner there!  She said she has one and loves it, and wanted me to have one, too!  Wasn’t that sweet of her?

So, we brought it home, charged it up and gave it a whirl.  I LOVE IT!  Today’s convenience appliances are just too cool!  Granted, it does not clean as deep as my “regular” vacuum cleaner, but the fact that it cleans without me having to push it around is wonderful!  I can run it every day or so while I’m doing something else, so that will help to keep the house cleaner than running the regular vacuum once a week.

I’ve been reading a few articles lately about how one of the things that is going to “save” the planet, and the economy, is “green jobs.” “Green jobs” are jobs that are jobs related to work that are going to have a positive impact on our environment. Yet none of the articles are specific as to exactly WHAT those green jobs are going to be – they are very vague.

The last article that I read indicated that they don’t have to be manual labor jobs, but “green collar jobs” are being considered manual labor jobs. And the article indicated that people would be making at least $15 an hour to start. Well, that’s not the BEST money in the world, but it is pretty good starting pay for someone who is just starting out, so I’d like more information on that! It would be really nice if we could start to see more information about these “green jobs” and how people might get “into” a “green job” whether it is manual labor or otherwise.
