If the sandals fit

I'm sure some women got womens sandals for gifts on Christmas. I would love to give someone a pair of sandals but sizes are tricky. Different brands have different measurements. So I'd rather give gift cards so they can get the sandals themselves.

There are lots of brands of sandals today and they're all beautiful. It makes picking a pair really difficult especially if you're presented with many choices. I'd say get the one that has the right fit - something that makes your feet comfortable.

I'm not really a sandal type of person. I go for sneakers and shoes with heels especially that I need a little boost in my height with my short frame. Fortunately no one has given me a pair of sandals because I will end up returning it and replace it with sneakers.

Holiday shopping

I didn't do any shopping this holiday. The closest to shopping that I did probably was my trip to the local grocery store to get some baking stuff. With the throng of people I see on the news shopping I can imagine chaos if store don't use barcode scanners. I don't know how stores managed before the barcode scanner was invented. It was probably slow since cashiers had to enter the prices manually.

But anyways I heard on the news that there weren't too many great deals this year. But lo and behold that didn't dampen the shopping spirit of many people. They still went shopping for their family and friends.

Holiday concert

My son participated in his school's holiday concert which was held on December 19th. He plays the saxophone while his best friend plays the clarinet. I didn't make it to the concert so my son had lots of stories for me when he got home. He said that his best friend did well on his solo performance playing the clarinet. I knew he would because I've seen him perform before in one of the holiday concerts when they were still in elementary. Clarinets are very common musical instruments that kids love to learn on how to use them. Clarinet was actually my son's second choice when he was trying to decide which instrument to get for his music class. He settled down with a saxophone.

Small business

Have you ever been to www.smallbusiness.xo.com ? As a small business owner I’m always looking for ways to streamline things so I don’t have to be in the store for 17 hours a day but this is the best technology solution I’ve found thus far – I can’t imagine why in the world people would want to do things by ledger like they used to back in the old days. I know that’s silly but that’s what my dad always did with his store and I know he’d still be doing it that way if he was still alive – people don’t seem to understand that being a successful small business in this day means having to be just as technologically savvy as the big competitors, you know? You can’t just do things the old fashioned way because that’s how you’re used to it – you’ve got to learn and adapt with your surroundings which means getting better at technology. You know what I mean? You can’t just be blissfully ignorant about work!
