Ninjutsu Lessons - a good and positive move for my niece

My brother and his wife have gotten my favorite niece into taking Ninjutsu lessons and they tell me that she is enjoying it immensely and shows promise in keeping an interest in this Japanese type of Martial Arts. She has only been taking these lessons for a little over 2 months and has just last night earned her green belt and can finally put away the bright white belt that all beginners are keenly aware of the “newbie” status that it implies.

I have taken the time and looked on the Internet and found a web-site that specializes in Martial Arts Equipment and have found a book that speaks of The Ninjutsu: History and Tradition, that I am thinking of ordering for her as one of her several Christmas presents that I will take over to her this year. She is an awesome kid and I adore spoiling her at every chance that I get. She does like to read, thank goodness, because so many kids these days hate even the idea of picking up a book, so I feel comfortable in giving her some type of book or two every Christmas, along with other items that she has on the top of her Christmas wish list each and every year, and she always counts on that tradition between the two of us since her very first Christmas experience.

A New Year’s Resolution, possibly

Have been doing some thinking as of late, I have been a smoker for such a long time and I am finding it harder and harder to catch my breath some times, so I’m tossing around the idea of putting the coffin nails down.

New Year’s is right around the corner and it makes sense to get through the always stressful holiday season’s and then put an end to this unhealthy and nasty habit. A thought to ponder and chew on for a bit.

Mom needs just a bit of color, or so she thinks

I had to laugh, just a bit, when my Dad informed me that my mother’s Christmas wish list includes a Sun Bed this year, I’m sorry but I just can’t imagine my mother, who is in her late 70’s, laying butt naked in a Home Tanning Bed, in an effort to get a tan, with no tan lines, on her pale and wrinkled skin. She has always been light skinned and envious of my fathers dark skin tone (must be the Native American in him) and has now found a way to possibly get some much needed (according to her alone) color added to her complexion.

Dad is busy these days searching the Internet for his holiday shopping needs and so far has done a good job with several purchases, made with good savings that he can brag about to us all.

New CD released

Just got a phone call from a good long time family friend informing me of the release of his first CD, (rap type music) which he is now trying to promote and get on the market. Tonight he and his buddies are hitting the clubs around town to see if they can talk them into giving the CD a try in hopes of getting some exposure, I wish them all the luck in the world. I just hope that they know a few people here and there that will do them a favor for the evening!

Find a home online

Most of us are familiar with the New Home Guide that is located in every newspaper and magazine section in most gas stations and convenience stores. Not surprised to find that they have a web-site with numerous tips for buying a home and good information for first time home buyers as well.

I took the time to check out their site and was pleased to see that it is very user friendly and easy to maneuver around in, in order to search for the perfect home, in any area in the United States of America. They have many interesting tips and information for all areas of the home buying process and creates a good positive atmosphere for some one who is thinking of stepping into this sometimes stressful task, they can certainly take some of the stress out of the entire process, if given a look see.

New home construction has slowed down as of lately, but hopefully things will turn around soon and the real estate market just can’t possibly get any worse, so one should keep in mind that if you don’t find the New Home Guide anywhere, for your convenience you can go right online and check out the information needed right there at your finger tips.
