About Me

About Me

Hello,

My name is Sandi and I love the internet. I worked for the same company for 16 years starting as their Executive Admin Assistant and ending as their HR Director where I also managed a few of the support staff departments. With the commute to Seattle from the suburbs I was gone 11 and 12 hours a day. My daughter was starting Jr. High and I knew I could just not be away so many hours during such a critical time in her life.

So now I'm home always looking for ways to make money, but really needing to go back to work in an HR, Benefits Administration, or Recriting position. I'm a great employee if you're looking.

I can also work from home doing administrative work, writing, editing, customer service. I have excellent computer skills, so give me a shout if you need help! I'm reliable, trustworthy, and efficient.

Other places you'll find my writing..

Softball in the Olympics

Softball in the Olympics

I am the mother of two daughters who play Select softball. They've been playing the game since they were 6 - of course it started out as T-ball, quite entertaining! Little League was fun, and both of my girls have played in the Junior World Series. All very exciting. Now they both play on Select teams, a level of competition usually above Little Leage and High School ball for girls dedicated to playing at a higher, more intense level.

Did you watch the Summer Olympics? If so, you may know that the US team lost to Japan - the first Olympics we haven't won. It was quite a shock to lose - Japan has a great pitcher and it was her day.

I'm writing to ask for your help. In 2005, the Olympic Committee decided to remove softball from the 2012 Olympics. The Committee is made up of mostly European countries and they voted softball out of the Games. Now, I'm not going to put down other sports, but can anyone with any logic tell me why archery, ping pong, and badminton get to stay and softball doesn't?

Please, will you help get softball reinstated by signing the following petition? It's a sport that is worthy of the Games.

Teen Driving

Teen Driving

My daughter's softball coach just forwarded this to the kids and parents. If you have a teenage driver, or a teenager who now goes to school with kids that can drive - that's my new worry as my daughter just entered high school - please read.

Here are some “statistics” about fatal/catastrophic auto accidents (as opposed to rear end fender benders):

They are by FAR the leading cause of death in persons under 20;
Over half occur after midnight;
About 60% occur after dark or just before sunrise;
About 40 percent involve drugs/alcohol;
Of those involving drugs/alcohol, 80 percent occur at night;
About 20 percent involve pedestrians or bicyclists being struck while in a place they had every right to be;
About a third of the deaths are PASSENGERS;
About one third involve drivers under 21 (who represent about 5% of licensed drivers);
About 10 percent are single car accidents, of which about 75 per cent are drug/alcohol related.
About 80 percent of the drivers in drug/alcohol related fatalities are MALE.

Probably the most danger kids will ever be in is in a car at night, after midnight on a weekend. THEY NEED TO BE HOME AT OR BEFORE MIDNIGHT. If they get into a car with an impaired young male or female they are taking their life in their hands, period.

Pedestrians need to use EXTREME CAUTION around the roadways, especially after dark and most especially on a weekend after dark

Animal Lovers

I love animals of all kinds.  A great site for dog and cat lovers is http://www.petplace.com. It's written by veterinarian Dr. Jon and his team of over 80 veterinary contributors. There's tons of information and commonly asked questions, plus you can write in with your own questions, like, "Why do dogs bury their bones?" Lots of cute pictures and videos too. Another great pet site is called http://www.youpet.com/ where you can create a profile on your own pet. I've got one about Sydney that you can visit http://www.youpet.com/pet/?petid=17717. You can also meet other pet lovers.

 

With Halloween almost here, you'll need to get a costume for your pet! Check this out.

The Funnies

The Funnies

A Dog Funny...

A dog is truly a man's best friend.

If you don't believe it, just try this experiment.

Put your dog and your wife in the trunk of the car for an hour.

When you open the trunk, who is really happy to see you!?

The Truth About Cats

A cat is always on the wrong side of the door.

 

Why Cats are Better Than Men

 

  • A cat always hits the litterbox.

     

  • Better chance of training a cat.


  • No matter what your cat drags into your house, you don't have to pretend you like it.


  • You never have to spend time with your cat's mother.


  • If you ask enough times, a cat may actually listen to you.


  • A cat purrs when you serve him dinner.


  • You can de-claw a cat... try to get a guy to clip his toenails.


  • It's okay if a cat rubs up against your best friend.


  • You don't have to worry about your cat turning into a pig when you host a party.


  • A cat knows you're the key to his happiness... a man thinks he is.
