The unemployment rate remains unchanged. Each time this year, when students graduate from college, there is a slew of potential candidates on every company in the city. Finding a suitable job search engine (and placement agency) online has its advantages – you can send your resume, and wait for a callback and a scheduled test and interview. It saves the fresh graduate money for transportation and time, which can be used in other things, like preparing what to answer during interviews.
A friend recently had her Tuscan-inspired home built and now she is looking for great lighting fixtures that will go with their house theme. Dolan Designs is one of the names that always comes up whenever we ask for recommendations from interior designers, architects and friends so we need to get going to their store. Luckily, they have a comprehensive web site so we can take a look before we go buy.
I just cleaned out our closet a couple of weeks ago and got rid of things we don’t need. Some were given away while most were put into a garage sale. The proceeds of the sale will go to the purchase of clothes we need to replace or update with. I need at least one formal dress while my husband needs a tuxedo vest that will go with his tux. We don’t need more shoes as I got rid of at least two dozen pairs and we still have so many! We are definitely a shoe family!
I have heard and experienced some horror stories about credit cards gone bad. A few of my friends enjoyed having multiple credit cards a bit too much that before they knew it they were up to their ears in debt. They paid such a high price for that big mistake, literally and figuratively. It’s a relief that they were able to get help from a credit repair service recommended by our boss. It literally saved their heads!
I’d like to give an update for my so-called shopping ban this year. It’s March and so far, so good! I haven’t shopped at all save for a great deal on a pre-loved iPhone that I just had to get! I usually arrange and look for the all the things I’ve shopped for to remind myself that I don’t really need anything yet. In fact, I just disposed of a lot of clothes and shoes and off they went in a garage sale. Our shoe rack can breathe again! I would need a barcode scanner to keep track of all the shoes we have in the house. We are a family of four and we own way too many shoes, with our youngest leading the pack! She has the same style of shoe in different colors – when my mother saw them, she scolded me for being so impractical!
I had a good talk with my aunt who lives in the East Coast the other day. Her sons have been asking her to move to the West Coast or retire since she is 60 already. She is the only one left in Philadelphia and they worry about her all the time. She told me she would love to relocate but the jobs in Philadelphia are better for her, given her background. She is sticking with her decision for this year and will reassess afterwards. She misses her sons and would want to spend more time with her granddaughter too.
So everyone on my team (well almost everyone, around 80%) switched to MAC last month thanks to their tax refunds. Now they are all raving about it and I am wanting a MAC, for jealous reasons. But their raves have objective bases, actually, the macbook memory is insanely fast and there are lesser security issues. The question is – when can I afford to have a MAC? 
If all plans push through, we might be taking one step towards acquiring a home of our own. Of course it will be a long, tedious and financially draining task. So we need to save as much as we can. We also need to have it insured. That house will be a result of blood, sweat and tears. I am looking at home insurance quotes and wonder if prices and policies will increase in the next five years?
It is often scary to hear someone has herpes simplex virus 1 because we often associate it almost immediately to the STD herpes (genitals). The latter is just really sores in the oral cavity – mouth commonly. It is easy to treat but it means one thing: your immune system is weakened so you are prone to infections. It’s a sign for you to slow down, take your vitamins and prioritize your health.
