Notes

Hello dear world

How are all of you ? I hope you are all well. Thanks for all the wishes for my niece she is doing very well thank you. I am also well and relaxing on this rainy Sunday afternoon.

Anywho...Parade Magazine recently wrote that Rosie O'Donnell is the most annoying celebrity. I happen to disagree with Parade Magazine by the way. I think Parade Magazine should be banned from writing its magazine and it should be banned from any newstand in the world. Check out her blog ---> www.rosie.com/blog/

By the way I have to tell you that you have to watch the movie "The Bourne Ultimatum" it is quite good. Matt Damon is wonderful wonderful wonderful. Here is a link for the movie ----> www.thebourneultimatum.com/ . You have to see this movie I highly highly recommend it.

You might also want to see the movie "Love Comes Softly" with Katherine Heigl and Dale Midkiff. Katherine plays the role of Marty Claridge and Dale plays the role of Clark Davis. Love Comes Softly is a touching warm hearted movie for the whole family to watch. Here is a scene from the movie if you would like to see it ----> www.youtube.com/watch?v=diztkgY9KZY

So how is your Sunday my dear world ? I hope that you all enjoy the rest of your weekend. Tomorrow I have to go back to work but I will be off on Tuesday. That's about it for now. I'll talk to you again later.

Byye !!!!!

A Crazy Day At Work...

Hello dear world

How is everyone ?? I had to come by and share my day with you. Earlier this morning at 10:30a.m at my work which is the H.R. Banke Justice Center in Jonesboro, Georgia started with a lot of excitement. Every kind of security and even the bomb squad had to come to my work today because of a bomb threat which was called in from someone who is still unknown. My coworkers and I were upstairs on the 2nd floor of the building when we heard that people were being told to evacuate the building. A police officer who was on the same floor as us told us that we didn't have to leave if we didn't want to.

A little while later we went up to the 4th floor to do some work when one of my coworkers were told that we had to evacuate the building due to the bomb threat. Before we left the building we went to the 3rd floor so me and one of my other female coworkers could get our purses out of our lockers. We then headed out of the building where we met our supervisor who told us that we could go to lunch. However there were police cars and everything out front so those who parked out front who could NOT leave the building. We were told by security before we left that we couldn't come back into the building until 12:00 in the afternoon. I and two of my female coworkers decided that we would go to Walmart to spend a little time since we couldn't go back to work. We had a lot of fun walking around Walmart. We spent quite a bit of time at Walmart looking around and I actually purchased a few things including some really nice Valentine cards, some books for me to read, some stickers for my youngest niece and I also bought a big bag of chips and some dip for the house. I also purchased a movie that I had wanted to see and before we left I also purchased me some lunch on the way out.

Once we got back to work we were able to re-enter the building. We were still on our lunch break so we sat around and we then heard around 1:30 in the afternoon that we wouldn't be able to do anything until 3:30 in the afternoon so we were informed that we would be able to leave work for the day. We were told at 2:30 we could leave but first we had to check out some things in the hallway. The people who had parked out front were told that they could not leave the building which they weren't happy about. On our way out we saw that police cars were still out front preventing anyone from entering the courthouse parking lot or leaving the parking lot. But those of us who parked out back at the employee entrance were told we could leave.

Anywho...once I got home it started getting dark and that was when the power went out at our house. A little while later the power came back on and my dad arrived with some dinner. Since my dad works in law enforcement he informed my family and I that there was a yellow powdery substance found underneath a car out in the front parking lot. The substance was later found to be cereal crushed up in its box tied with wire. Apparently someone was trying to make it look like a bomb which was examined by the bomb squad.

Let me just tell you my dear world it was quite a day for me at work. So my dear world how were things in your part of the world ? I do hope that you were able to have some fun in your day. Of course I will be off of work for the weekend.

Well that's about it for now. I'll talk to you again later. Byyye !!!!

If you might not know I am a huge huge huge huge huge huge fan of Barnes & Noble. I haven't been to the store in a while and now I get to go back and use my gift card.....YEAH !!!!!

In other news earlier this evening I watched a nice holiday movie on Lifetime called "Recipe For A Perfect Christmas". I am still enjoying the holiday movies on television. The movie was funny as well as being a great love story. If you get the chance you might want to see it I highly recommend it.

So how was your day my dear world ?? Did you have to go into work today like I did ? I can say that it wasn't too cold in my neck of the woods it was really nice. There might be some rain in the forecast but I am going to enjoy the nice weather while it lasts. How is the weather in your part of the world ?? I do hope that all is well with you.

Of course its almost New Year's Eve do you have any plans ?? I don't have any plans yet. Well that's about it for now. I'll talk to you again later.

A Very Wonderful Before Christmas Day

Hello dear world

Season's Greetings !!!!!!

How is everyone ? I have to tell you about my day. Early this morning my coworkers and I had our Christmas breakfast and it was wonderful and delicious. We laughed and made jokes and talked and we enjoyed our breakfast.

After our breakfast we decided to go ahead and do our gift exchanging which was a blast. I do have to say that I got a ton I mean a ton of Christmas gifts which I loved loved loved loved loved loved. Here is a sampling of some of the things I received : I got some Christmas candles, some bottles of shower gels, a Christmas ornament, a box of chocolate Ferrero Rocher and from my supervisor a Crystal jewelry box and a set of picture frames. I also got a gift card to Longhorn Steakhouse from the people in the D.A.'s office at my work. I did get some other stuff but I wanted to share some news of what I got at work. Later in the day my supervisor let us go home a little after 1:30 in the afternoon which was nice of him. A lot of people were leaving early for the holidays so our work was really slow today.

So my dear world how was your day today ? Did you get any gifts today like I did ? Did you celebrate with any of your work today as I did as well ? I do hope you were all able to get your Christmas shopping done. You might want to know that it was an extremely cold day in my neck of the woods. Was it cold in your part of the world ?

That's about it for now. I would like to wish everyone a very memorable and wonderful Christmas and a very very happy happy New Year.

Its Been A Fun Week

Hello dear world

Happy Happy Holidays to you !!!!!!!! I thought I would pop in and say hello. It has been quite a fun week let me tell you. Yesterday my coworkers and I went to lunch at the Golden Corral and guess what our supervisor J****E bought me and the other ladies that I work with lunch at the Golden Corral. The guys had to pay for themselves. It was so very nice of our new supervisor. He has been a really great guy. Anywho....our lunch was good and we all returned to work full and tired.

Tomorrow we will be exchanging gifts which I'm sure will be fun. I picked up a little something else for one of my coworkers that I know she will like. I hope she isn't reading this but I picked her up an Elvis Presley ornament since she has always been a fan of Elvis's. I also have gifts for my other coworkers. Our supervisor already informed us that he is going to be letting us leave work early so we have to get all of our work done before we leave. I am going to be wearing a Christmasey outfit which consist of a red shirt and a sweatshirt with the word "JOY" written on the front in really cute lettering. I am also going to wear a santa cap with the words "Naughty But Nice" on the santa cap. I am also going to wear jeans tomorrow. By the way we are going to have a little breakfast meal tomorrow since one of the women that I work with is going to bring in some biscuits tomorrow for us to eat. I also bought us 2 cartons of orange juice for us to drink so tomorrow I'm sure it will all be fun. I can't wait to see if my coworkers will like their gifts that I got them....I can't wait. I also had bought a gift for my supervisor so I hope he likes his gift that I got him. We have a lot to do tomorrow but it will be fun.

So my dear world how was your day ??? Did you get all of your Christmas shopping done ?? You might want to know that one of the things I purchased was a box of cigars for my dad which he will love. You might also want to know that it has been a cold, wet and freezing day in Georgia. I am longing for the warm weather again. I would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and the best of the New Year.

Take care all !!!!!!!!!

News For Today

Hello dear world

Good evening how is everyone ?? I thought I would pop in and share my day with you all. For starters I got my Christmas presents for my coworkers to my job in one piece which was a task because all of the gifts made my bag quite heavy this morning on my way to work. I got to work and put them under our Christmas tree.

Here are a few bullet points for you :

. My Christmas Luncheon with my coworkers will be Wednesday at 11:00am at Golden Corral which includes 6 of my coworkers and my new supervisor.

. Our Christmas Gift Exchanging will be Friday before my coworkers and I get ready to leave for the weekend.

It will be a fun busy week for me. You might want to know that a little after 8:00pm this evening my mom and I and my nieces went to Belk's which is a really nice store in my neck of the woods. I did find a nice light blue long sleeved turtleneck shirt that I will wear for my Christmas luncheon on Wednesday which my mom bought for me. I also found a pair of soft black terry cloth winter gloves that my mom also bought for me since I liked them.

My mom did ask me the question : What do you want for Christmas ?? I told her that I wanted a nice pair of sweatshirts but I didn't see any in Belk's that I liked. We are going to continue to look for something that I want for Christmas. I never know what I want when I get asked the question what do you want for Christmas ?? My mind goes blank when I'm asked. I hate to say it but I am getting a little tired out of shopping. I have gone shopping and shopping and shopping and shopping and shopping that I am getting wore out. I am enjoying the holidays though. I love going to see all of the Christmas decorations and things that's the fun part. Pretty soon Christmas will be over my dear world.

Anywho...how are things in your neck of the woods ?? Is it cold in your part of the world ?? That's about it for me. I'll talk to you again soon

Bye !!

My Sunday....

Hello dear world

Good evening. How is everyone today ?? I hope you are all well. Its another wintry cold day in Georgia.

What did I do today ?? Well I spent the day downstairs with my mom getting my presents for my coworkers all wrapped up. I had bought some Christmas stockings and some Christmas bags in which to put their presents which I did. I bought a few things for them and I sure hope they like their presents. I also helped my mom wrap up some Avon Christmas baskets that my aunt had wanted for some people that she wanted to give the baskets to. It was a job doing the Avon Christmas baskets but we got them done.

I have to tell you that if you haven't finished your Christmas shopping you might want to get it done this week. You might want to do some early in the day when there's not a lot of people doing their shopping. I do hope you are all enjoying the holiday season. I also hope that you are getting in the mood for the holidays.

That's about it for me. I'll talk to you again soon. Take care everyone.

Happy Holidays !!!!!!

News On This Wet Rainy Day

Hello dear world

Good evening. How is everyone ?? Let me begin by saying that I woke up to a cold, wet and rainy day. Winter has definitely arrived to Georgia.

Anywho...earlier today my family and I went to a store called the "Burlington Coat Factory" which sells coats, clothes and things such as shower curtains, home decorations and shoes etc,etc,etc. I did end up buying one thing there for my dad which was a black Tommy Hillfiger wallet for Christmas.

After the Burlington Coat Factory we stopped off at a new Dollar Discount store that opened up next door to the Coat Factory. They didn't have much in the store as yet but I did find a Lemon Meringue candle for one of my female coworkers that I am sure she will like for Christmas. I also bought some Christmas stickers that I liked. I also bought a cell phone holder for my oldest niece since she always carries it in her pocket.

After the Dollar Discount store we went home for a little while and then we got ourselves dressed for a Ballet Dance Performance that my oldest niece Jeanette was in. The Performance was held at a place called the Mt. Zion Performing Arts Center. I can tell you that the Ballet Dance Performance was beautiful and my niece was amazing. Other students also performed at the Performing Arts Center that my niece was in. I can tell you that the entire performance was quite nice.

Anywho...after the Performance my mom and I and both of my nieces went for a late dinner at 10:00pm at IHOP which is known as the International House of Pancakes. My oldest niece and I had a new item there called "New York Style Cheesecake Pancakes" while my mom had a ham and cheese melt and my youngest niece had a hamburger. My oldest niece had her pancakes which strawberries on top while I had mine with just powdered sugar and whipped cream on the side since I don't like strawberries. I can honestly tell you that the New York Style Cheesecake Pancakes were delicious delicious delicious. I also had a side of hashbrowns that were quite good. All in all our dinner was really good.

So how were things in your neck of the woods my dear world ?? I do hope that you enjoyed your Saturday. That's about it for now. I'll talk to you again later.

Good-night

Update For Thursday....

Hello dear world

Good evening how is everyone ?? Its me again for another visit. Where to start ??? Where to start ???

Well today was another day at work for me. It was a little bit of a cool day today it seems like the Winter weather is moving in slowly but surely.

Anywho...you might want to know that there is a guy I have known at work named G***. He works in one of the offices at my work. I hate to say it but he will be leaving for another job. My coworkers and I did get him a card but I also got him a card on my own. The thing is I always went into his office to talk to him and he always took the time to stop and talk to me. Why am I telling you this ?? Well since the moment I met him I liked him but I never told him. In the card I bought him I did write to him and let him know that I will miss him. Earlier this morning he did come up and gave me a hug and let me know that he appreciated the card I gave him. G*** was such a wonderfully nice charming guy and I will definitely miss him.

In other news earlier this evening my folks and I and my youngest niece went for dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse which is our favorite place to eat.

Please Do Not Be Alarmed At This Message

Hello dear world

Good evening. How is everyone today ?

First let me begin by saying that as you read this please do not be alarmed I am well and things are fine.

Anywho...earlier this morning at my work which is located at the H.R. Banke Justice Center Courthouse. There was a BOMB THREAT at the courthouse. Everyone had to evacuate the building. We were outside the building since 9:00 this morning. We were not allowed back into the building until after 12:00 this afternoon. My coworkers and I were standing by police officers and we were not given much information at the time.

Apparently nothing was found from the bomb threat. You might want to know that the Channel 2, Channel 5 and the Channel 11 news vans were in front of the courthouse talking to our Sheriff Victor Hill. Security checked the building and nothing was found.

All in all our coworkers and I got out of the building as soon as the bomb threat came in and we were told to leave the building. We walked out to the employee entrance parking lot and stood in the parking lot. A few minutes later we were told to walk to the other side of the parking lot which was a little farther away from the building. Later on we were allowed back into the building after the threat was handled by the Bomb Squad, Deputy Sheriff's, Police Officers, K-9 Dogs and other law enforcement officials.

Yes my dear world I am safe and sound and home. So how was your day my dear world ? I do hope that all is well in your neck of the woods. That's about it for now. I will talk to you again soon.

Good-night

This, That And Some More Shopping Of Course...

Hello dear world

Season's Greetings !!!! How are all of you today ?? I am doing well. I wanted to come and share my day with you so here I am. Earlier this morning my folks and I went to a place called "The Hamper House" located by the State Farmers Market in Georgia which is a necessity for my mom. At "The Hamper House" they sell baskets for people who make baskets for gifts and things, they also sell ribbons, gift bags, holiday assortments, faux flowers and other things. I looked around while my mom picked up some gift bags for some Christmas baskets she will be making for gifts. I didn't buy anything but I always enjoy looking around. They don't have anything there that I want but its always fun going there with my mom.

After The Hamper House my folks and I went to the JCPenney Outlet store which is a store we often go to buy stuff. While we were at the Outlet Store I did buy a really cute light blue scarf for myself with bits of yellow and pink on it as well as some glittery gloves for my youngest niece since she accidentally lost her other pair. I also bought myself some light blue fleece socks for when it gets cold. I also looked around the store with my folks which was fun. I didn't see anything else I wanted so I just looked around.

Later on after the outlet store we stopped off at a little Mexican restaurant called "Mr. Taco" which my parents liked. My folks got some taco's and some Menudo to eat for lunch. I had gotten a soft taco but I ended up not eating it.

After the taco restaurant we then went home where we have been for the rest of the evening. So my dear world what did you do today ?? Did you do any shopping ?? I am happy to report that the weather in Georgia was wonderful it was in the 70's and I didn't have to wear a jacket. I am enjoying the warm weather while its here. It doesn't seem like December with it being so warm.

Well that's about it for me. I do hope you are enjoying the holidays and I wish you all a wonderful Christmas.

By the way Iris of La Dolce Vita will be leaving us soon so please go over and send her your thoughts and perhaps you might want to get to know her if you don't already. Here is her link -----> http://journals.aol.co.uk/irisclyde/LaDolceVita/

Happy Holidays !!!!!!!!

Some Wonderful News And Quite A Bit Of Shopping

Hello dear world

Good evening how is everyone ?? I'm sorry for not coming to talk to you lately the holidays and life have had me on the go but here I am. Anywho...I thought I would come and share my latest news with you.

My day began around 9:00am this morning when my mom and I had to take my youngest niece who is 8 years old to her school where she and the other younger kids were having their Science Fair Projects judged by some professional judges. We didn't go to the awards banquet until later in the evening which I will tell you about later in my entry.

After the judging was done my mom and I went home and waited for my dad and my oldest niece who was at her Piano lesson which she takes from a professional piano player and teacher. Once my dad and niece got home we went out to lunch at our favorite eating spot called "La Parrilla" which is a Mexican restaurant in our neighborhood. For once I had something different. I had some smothered shrimp with a side of asparagus and onions which I gave to my mother. I ate my shrimp which were smothered in cheese dip. The weather was really lovely in Georgia today so we enjoyed getting out today.

After lunch my folks and I and my nieces went to Target to do some shopping which I enjoyed quite a bit. I ended up getting some Christmas bags which I will be filling up with a few items for my coworkers. I also bought a Thomas Kinkade Shimmer 750 piece puzzle for my mom and I who like doing puzzles. I also picked up a Visual Echo Sanctuary 3D Puzzle for my mom and I to enjoy. We haven't done puzzles in quite a while so my mom was quite excited for me to purchase it. I also bought me some books to read during the holidays. I also bought me some more Lever body wash and a Chris Brown CD for my oldest niece that she wanted.

After we went shopping at Target we went home for a little while and I have to tell you something. While we were at home my mom and I watched a movie we rented at Blockbuster called "Reign Over Me" with Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle which was a wonderful wonderful wonderful wonderful wonderful wonderful movie. It was both funny and sad at the same time. Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle both deserve academy awards for their performances in the movie. I would like tosee it again because we both liked it quite a lot. I would highly recommend you to see it my dear world.

Anywho....around 5:30pm we got ready to go to the awards banquet held at my nieces's school which was wonderful. She did a project about recycling and I am excited to report that she won a red ribbon medal and she gets to go on to compete at the State level Science Fair in Georgia which we were all happy to find. She was also happy about winning. There were other students at the awards banquet that won a red ribbon medal and get to compete at the State level science fair.

Much later in the evening my mom and I and my nieces went to Kohl's to do some more shopping which was fun. I ended up getting a movie theater for my mom's Christmas village which she has set up in the dining room. I also got a green Christmas sweatshirt which I will wear to my Christmas dinner with my coworkers on the 19th. I also purchased a candle night light which bubbles with warmth with glitter on the inside of the candle which is quite pretty. My mom got some new tennis shoes and my oldest niece got some high heel pumps she likes.

After our shopping I treated my mom and my nieces to dinner at the pancake house which we just got back from. I had a bacon and egg cheese burger which was new for me. I usually get breakfast there but tonight I had the bacon and egg cheese burger which is a new item on the menu. My mom and my nieces enjoyed their dinner as I did mine.

All in all it was a pretty wonderful and fun day. I have to say that it was nice to get out today and enjoy the 70 degree weather. Usually it has been pretty cold but we got some warm weather for a nice change. It was nice and warm and I didn't have to wear a jacket during most of the day. Once night came it did get a little chill in the air but it was a very enjoyable day.

It was also nice to get out and see houses with their Christmas lights strung in their yards. I am loving this time of year when everything seems more amplified. I love the Christmas holidays.

I also wanted to take a crack at starting to answer some of your questions one by one. Nelishia asked me a few days ago : What do I want for Christmas ??

My answer is this: I already bought all of the things I wanted so there's nothing I want right now.

How was your day my dear world ?? Have you done any shopping today ?? I do hope that you were able to enjoy your day as I did. That's about it for now. I'll talk to you again later.

Good-night

Hello....Again

Okay hello dear world

How is everyone ?? I know I promised you all that I would answer your questions but I am not going to answer them today sorry. I wanted to tell you my news today.

First things first :

The 3rd supervisor my coworkers and I had on Friday is gone forever . It came out that she did some things wrong so she had to resign on Friday and we are now back to our 2nd supervisor. Everything at work is now going smoothly for a change.

This morning I woke up to a very cold morning. I guess Winter has officially arrived to Georgia. Of course it was another day at work for me.

I do have some news that really makes me happy. Today one of coworkers ordered a movie I wanted for me and today....it came. The movie is called "Jane Eyre" starring Toby Stephens and Ruth Wilson. I have seen it before on television but now I have it on DVD. I can tell you that Toby Stephens is amazing in the movie. The movie is a love story and I like it.

I also wanted to tell you that I have a male coworker named E***O. I have been messing with him by joking around with him quite a bit at work. Everytime he comes into our room to sit down I mess with him. I always make him laugh. He is a pretty nice guy and it has been nice having him at our job. He recently started at our work and I have to say that its nice having someone new around.

* Of course there's just a few weeks left until Christmas...... *

Nelishia did ask me what do I want for Christmas ?? I'll have to think about that. That's about it for me my dear world. I'll talk to you again later.

Happy Holidays !!!!!!!!

Go Ahead...Ask Me A Question

Hello dear world

Greetings from Riverdale, Georgia. Its me again back for another visit with you. You might want to know that its raining here in Georgia which is good news since we've been in the middle of a drought.

Anywho...I don't have much to talk to you about tonight. So I got to thinking. I had been over to the journal "The Wisdom Of A Distracted Mind" and I was inspired by one of the entries. I am going to allow you to ask me any question you want. Feel free to ask me something silly or anything you like. After reading your qestions I am going to answer your questions. I would like to take the time to thank you all for visiting.

Now...go ahead to the comment section and leave me a question or two. I'll be waiting.Go ahead and fire at will.

What would you like to know about me ??? There's no need to raise your hands just give me a question and I will give you the answer. There won't be any tests given at the end of this entry so don't worry. Absolutely No Number 2 Pencils Required.

That's all for now. Good night.

Bring On The Egg Nog

Hello my dear world

Good evening how the heck are you ?? Its you know who again......ME !!!!!

Alright let's get to the news

First let me tell you that I slept so hard last night that I didn't wake up today until after 12:00 in the afternoon and I enjoyed sleeping in. My family was gone off to the store while I slept and I woke up and got the coffee pot to going. I watched "The Holiday" with Cameron Diaz and Jude Law by myself and I had a very quiet morning.

Anywho...once my family came home my oldest niece and I and my mom went downstairs and got our decorations, brought them up and decorated our Christmas tree with our usual Mardi Gras decorations and Christmas ornaments. We also watched "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" with Jim Carrey which we enjoyed watching while my dad put up our Christmas lights outside our front door and our (2) Reindeers on our front lawn. By the way if anyone is in the Riverdale, Georgia area stop off on Norden Road and guess what you will see...our house decorated for Christmas. You can also see our Christmas tree from the window if your in the area.

In other news...a little while ago this evening my folks and I watched "Mr. Brooks" with Kevin Costner which let me tell you was a great movie. It was a little scary but it was well worth watching. Kevin Costner was amazing and he certainly deserves an academy award for the movie. We also watched a historical movie called "Black Book" which I didn't really like. The movie was filled with subtitles which I don't really like all that much. We also rented a few more movies at Blockbuster but we haven't seen them yet. I will tell you about them when I see them.

So my dear world how was your Saturday ??? Did you sleep in like I did ?? I sure hope your Saturday was a nice one. I do hope you enjoy your entire weekend. I'll talk to you again soon.

Good-night !!!!!

A Very Crazy Crazy Day

Hello dear world

Good evening how are you ?? I hope you are all well. I have some news for you that you just have to know.

First things first : The baby shower I went to at work was nice. However my coworkers and I didn't stay long. She had quite a lot of people in attendance and she was busy with them so we dropped off our gifts and decided not to stay. I do hope that she liked my gifts I gave her. It was nice to see the lady again she hasn't changed at all. She has NOT had the babies yet but they seem to be growing every day and they are quite healthy.

Anywho...as might recall me saying our 1st supervisor that my coworkers and I had was pulled away from us rather suddenly. We were quite close to him. Then we were given a 2nd supervisor that was with us until today. Now we have a 3rd supervisor who was put as supervisor over my coworkers and I because she could NO longer work at the main headquarters building because of something she did. The first day with us she tried to start some trouble so I am not quite sure how things will turn out with our newest supervisor. My dear world my coworkers and I have had (2) new supervisors given to us in the same month but at different times. My coworkers and I are longing to have our 1st supervisor back with us again but we all doubt that will happen. There is so much drama going on at my work my dear world that its hard to keep up with all of it.

Anywho...how are things with you ?? How are things in your part of the world ?? I do hope that things are well with all of you Of course tomorrow officially starts the weekend. Do you have any plans this weekend ?? I don't. That's about it my dear world. I'll talk to you again soon.

Byyyye !!!!!!!!!

My News....

Hello dear world

Good evening. First things first please do not worry about me my dear world I am fine. The reason I was upset yesterday is that a guy that my coworkers and I know at my work informed us that he will be leaving and going somewhere else. The thing is we were the last ones to find out and so the news hit me hard. He and I have chatted from time and time and my coworkers and I often make a point to talk to him and now we know he is leaving which made me rather sad. It seems like everyone we know is leaving and now there is another someone we know leaving. My dear world the news struck me hard but I am feeling better about things today. He will be leaving in December but at least we get to see him before he leaves.

Thank you all for commenting and worrying but please know I am well.

On a more happier note the office that my coworkers and I sit in is beginning to look like Christmas thanks to me and one of my other coworkers. Today I went out and bought some red and green glittery ornaments to put on our office Christmas tree, I also bought a tablecloth with pointsettia's on them and I also bought some boxes that are shaped like presents and they are green and glittery. I also draped garland around the office and everyone is happy about our office. I am definitely getting into the spirit of Christmas more and more. I also draped our new supervisor's desk with garland and he liked it. Its beginning to look like Christmas my dear world it really is. I think that before December 25th comes I will have bought more decorations for the office which is fun. There isn't any presents under our tree yet however.

Anywho....tomorrow is that baby shower for that lady I told you about. Her gift I got her is all wrapped and ready to be given to her. The baby shower will be fun I'm sure. I can't wait to see her its been a while since my coworkers and I have seen her.

I hope you are all well my dear world. I also hope you all have a very enjoyable day. It was a nice day in my neck of the woods not too cool it was quite nice. I just thought I would pop in and let you know that I am doing fine and all is well. I was just upset over the news yesterday.

Do you have a present for me my dear world that might fit under my office tree perhaps ??? I shall be waiting....

Take care everyone. Good-night.

This, That And The Other....

Hello dear world

Good evening !!!!!! Its me again. First things first it was another day at work for me and yes I have to work from 7:00am to 4pm talk about a long day. But I enjoyed myself being silly with some of my coworkers and such.

Oh guess what guess what guess what.......Alert the media it rained in Atlanta, Georgia for the first time in a long time. We do need the rain we need a whole lot of rain but its nice to finally be getting some with the drought and all. I hate to admit it I still don't have an umbrella how about sending me one as a Christmas gift my dear world hint,hint,hint,hint,hint,hint. A nice blue one would be nice hint,hint, hint,hint,hint as well as a few Jeff Gordon Nascar items hint,hint,hint,hint

Anywho...you might want to know that I went to the store on my lunch break with one of my female coworkers since I had to pick up some wrapping paper and some baby stickers for a baby shower I will be going to at work for one of the ladies my coworkers and I have known. The ladies name is T----i and let me tell you she is a really nice person. She has been on maternity leave but she will be coming for the baby shower on Friday at our work I can't wait to see her. I did get her a really cute gift and I'm sure she will like it. Why am I telling you this ???

Well in the spirit of the Christmas holiday season I picked up some Christmas cards that were really cute. I already have quite a few signed and sealed and I was wondering....would any of you like me to send you a Christmas card ?? If you would please send me an e-mail and I would be happy to send you one for Christmas. Please let me know by December 13th so I can get them off to those of you who are interested. Thank you.

Last but not least how are you my dear world ? How was your day today ? Did you get any rain as we did ? I do hope your day as a nice one. Of course tomorrow is another day at work for me. Well I better be going now. I'll talk to you again later.

I Had A Delicious Dinner.......

Hello dear world

Good evening its me again. I don't usually do this but this is my 2nd entry in one day. I had to come and tell you about my dinner I had with my family which was d e l i c i o u s.

For dinner we had regular Prego spaghetti sauce with three cheese sauce which is always good and then we had a side of Gorton's Shrimp Temptations Shrimp Scampi which was like eating out at our favorite seafood restaurant Red Lobster. We got the Shrimp Scampi from the grocery store. Our dinner was wonderful and we all enjoyed it. My dad also made some baby back ribs but we were all too full to eat any of the ribs so he is saving them for another day. Here is the Gorton's seafood link --------- www.gortons.com/

I just wanted to come by and share my evening with you. So my dear world what did you have for dinner ? or did you go out for dinner ? We stayed home and ate which is always nice. We all sit down together and eat dinner which is a routine for us.

Of course tomorrow is back to work for me after I was off for the Thanksgiving holiday from work. That's all for me I'll talk to you again later.

A Nice Saturday.....

Hello dear world

How are you today ?? I hope you are all well. Its me again of course. I thought I would come and share my day with all of you since your probably wondering what I did today.

You might want to know that the other day while we were out shopping early my dad purchased us another tree except the one he got us was one that was already pre-lit. Earlier this morning we did put up our new Christmas tree while we listened and sung to the radio that was playing Christmas songs. We have NOT decorated it yet but we do have one Christmas ornament on it which I will explain later in this entry.

Anywho....earlier today my family and I which included me, my folks and both of my nieces went to the mall today. While we were there my youngest niece Megan saw a Christmas ornament at Southlake Mall with her name on it so she carried it to my dad who purchased it for her. I also looked at all of the Christmas ornaments that were hanging on Christmas trees in Macy's. I didn't buy anything however but I did have fun at the mall. I did do some window shopping which is always fun.

You might also want to know that while I was at the mall I saw a woman there that I know from work and we did chat for a few minutes while we were in Macy's. All in all my day was really nice and I have to say that its always fun going to the mall during this time of year.

When we got home my niece Megan put her ornament on the tree and right now its the only ornament on the tree.

So my dear world how was your day today ? Did you go out to the stores today ? I do hope that your day was a nice one. That's about it for now. I'll talk to you again later.

Update : I had to come and tell you that the movie "Live Free Or Die Hard" with Bruce Willis is wonderful. The movie is action packed and Bruce Willis definitely made the movie worth watching. I watched the movie with my oldest niece and my mom and they liked it too. My dear world you have to see this movie. Here is the link to the movie ----> www.livefreeordieharddvd.com/ .

Byyye !!!!!!!!

There's always time to have....Fun !!!!

Hello dear world

How are you today ?? I have so much to tell you I just don't know where to start. First let me tell you that I had quite a day indeed. My day began at the crack of dawn to go after Thanksgiving shopping with my mom and dad. My nieces of course stayed at home with their mom.

Anywho...my folks and I started our day at 4:00a.m. by going to Walmart in Fayetteville, Georgia. Let me tell you the place was a mad house. The aisles were roped off until it was time for the sales to start. Every department in the store was packed with people standing in the longest lines in the world. The line my folks and I were in for digital camera's was crazy. People tried to cut in line, people were mad if they were told they couldn't cut in line even. The line we were in came equipped with a security guard who was trying to keep the trouble and mess from starting. A few women tried arguing with the security guard but they lost. Some of the departments opened up while my folks and I were in line and the sound in the store was like the Running Of The Bulls in Pamplona it was something. Walmart was flooded with wall to wall people from the minute we entered the store to the minute we left. I never saw Walmart like I saw today.

Anywho...after Walmart my folk and I went to Toys "R" Us and let me tell you the store was full of people as well. People were shopping for this,that and the other. I stood in line for most of the time which was something. Two women did cut in line ahead of me but I didn't say anything. I got out of line however and I went to a much faster line.

After Toys "R" Us we then went  JoAnne's which wasn't packed at all. It was nice going there. I got to look at all of the many Christmas decorations and then I picked up some Christmas stickers on my way out. While I was in JoAnne's there was a guy there who was trying to flirt with me but I was really rude to him because he kept asking me if I spoke Spanish which is something that irritates me the most. I know I shouldn't have let it upset me but it did. I know that I have to work on my attitude it will just take some time.

Of course after JoAnne's my folks and I then went to a place called the "World Market" next door to JoAnne's in Fayetteville. The "World Market" is a store that feels like you got on a plane and went to another part of the world. They have items from all over the world. While I was in the store I picked up some Grand Belgian Chocolate Truffles and a Brazilian Cilantro scented candle that I liked and some emergency chocolates in a box.

Then after we left the World Market we then went to Belk where I purchased my nieces Christmas gifts. I saw a light up aquarium that I'm sure my youngest niece will like. Then I saw a sweater that my oldest niece told my mom she would like and so I purchased it for her for Christmas. Yes my dear world it was quite a day shopping for me but I had a really nice time.

After shopping my folks and I did stop off at our favorite fast food restaurant "Sonic's" to get some food. I got an extra long Coney dog with cheese and chili which was pretty good. So my dear world how was your day ???? Did you do any shopping today ?? I do hope that you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving I sure did. I also hope you enjoyed your day after Thanksgiving I did indeed. I will have to finish the rest of my shopping another day.

All in all I had a really wonderful day. That's about it for now. I'll talk to you again soon.

It's time to relax after all that fun....so byyyyye !!!!!!!!!

Hello dear world

Good evening. First things first how is everyone ?? It was another day at work for me today. I wanted to remind everyone that this Thursday is Thanksgiving or as its commonly known Turkey Day. My family and I will be headed to my cousin's house to spend Thanksgiving with him this year.

I am happy to report that my old supervisor is back with my coworkers and I for the time being. You might also want to know that today after lunch the head guys came and had a meeting with us to tell us a few things. You will be happy to know that my coworkers and I won't be split up which is good news. Everything will be alright for me and my coworkers.

In other news....you will be quite proud to know that for the first time I actually fixed taco's for my family. After all was said and done I had made them a little thin but you live and learn. The next time I'll do a better job and I'll fix taco's like a professional. You can all stand up and applaud me for a job well done.

I am also happy to report that earlier this evening my family and I went to play BINGO which we haven't done in a while. We arrived home a little after 11:00pm and I do hate to tell you that I did NOT win any money at BINGO....maybe next time.

Anywho...tomorrow is another day at work for me. So how was your day my dear world ?? I can tell you that the weather was quite nice in my neck of the woods. How are things with you ?? I do hope that your day was a nice one.

Lunch And More Shopping

Hello dear world

Good evening how are you ?? Its me again and I have some more news to share with you. Well earlier today my family and I went to Applebees for lunch. I had the 12oz. ribeye with a side of garlic mashed potatoes and french fries. I also had a cherry limeade which was quite good let me tell you. I also liked the mashed potatoes.

After lunch my family and I went to Staples to do some shopping. I bought some ink for our printer as well as a Vincent Van Gogh journal that I like. I also bought my niece Megan some stickers she wanted. By the way did you know that Vincent Van Gogh once cut off his own ear ?? I just had to ask that question.

Anywho....

After going to Staples we then went to TJ Maxx where I bought some baby socks for a woman that I know at my work who will be having a boy and girl pretty soon. I haven't seen her since she went on maternity leave but there will be a baby shower at our work in a few days. I do hope that she likes my gift.

I just wanted to come by and share my day with you. How was your day my dear world ? Did you do any shopping like I did ? I have been getting out this weekend and doing a little shopping not a big amount of shopping. At TJ Maxx there was also quite a bit of Christmas items and decorations on sale but I didn't buy any but they were really nice. Has any Christmas decorations hit your side of the world yet ?? By the way how is the weather where you are ? It wasn't too cold here in Georgia today as it was yesterday it was pretty nice. It is getting pretty dark at the moment.

That's about it for me. I just wanted to pop in and say hello. I also wanted to tell you that I went over to the journal chatroom yesterday and Jeannette and Guido were there. Have you gone to the chatroom yet ?? You might want to pop in and say hello. I'll talk to you again later. Take care everyone.

Good-night

Yes Yes Yes I Love To Shop !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello dear world

Season's Greetings

How are you all ??? Its me again. I wanted to come by and tell you about my day. Earlier this morning I went with my family to the mall because there was some Christmas activities for the young people at Southlake Mall in my neck of the woods. My youngest niece Megan had a great time. The young ones that were at the mall also with their families got to see Santa Claus and the entire mall was decorated like a Winter wonderland. The mall let the young people and their families parade throughout the mall. You might want to know that a marching band also performed Christmas songs in the parade my family and I were in. At the end of the parade there was a spot that Santa Claus had where the young people like my niece could see soapy like flakes shoot out of machines like snowflakes which was nice.

After the parade my oldest niece Jeanette and I walked in the mall by ourselves in which we came upon a record store in the mall where she picked out a CD by Alicia Keys that I bought for her. I also purchased the new Pride & Prejudice movie that I like.

While we were in the mall you might want to know that there were Christmas trees decorated to the hilt with ornaments and tinsel. I also got a new soft king sized pillow which I like.

After the mall we went to Office Depot where I bought myself a really nice black leather journal with silver engravings on the front which I liked. I have to say that they have some really nice things in Office Depot. I also had to buy my nieces some drinks in the store because they were quite thirsty. 

Yes my dear world I love to shop !!!!!!!!!!!!  I am definitely getting in the mood for the holidays. I am back to my old self again. So how was your Saturday my dear world ?? Did you get out and do some shopping like I did ?? I do hope you enjoyed your day.

That's about it for me. I'll talk to you again later. I would like to wish each and everyone of you a very special and memorable Thanksgiving and the best of the holidays. Take care and do enjoy yourselves.

Byyyyye !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More News......

Hello dear world

Good evening how is everyone ??? I am doing well. Its me again. Yes it was another wintry cold day in Atlanta, Georgia. It was also another day at work for me. I am happy to report that the lights stayed on and the entire place was up and running.

You might want to know that today I was reading "Wife For Hire" which I have to say I have really enjoyed it. Janet Evanovich is a terrific writer. At the moment in the story Maggie Toone is writing a book about her aunt Kitty's diary. Apparently someone is trying to steal her aunt's diary. I'm definitely going to keep reading it to see what happens next.

Anywho....as you know I love CHOCOLATE why am I bringing up chocolate you might be wondering....well today my AVON came. You might want to know that AVON has a product in the MARK campaign called Chocolate Orchid and let me tell you it smells W - O - N - D - E - R - F - U - L !!!!!!!!!!! The chocolate orchid comes with a body butter, a shower wash, a 1.7 fl. oz scent mist, a moisture milk, a 3.3 fl. oz. dry oil mist as well as a candle. The chocolate orchid smells amazing. It looks like chocolate and it definitely smells like chocolate which I love love love. I am so happy I got my AVON today. I love love love love love love love love love love love love chocolate .

Tomorrow officially starts the weekend. How are things in your neck of the woods ? I do hope you are enjoying your Friday. That's about it for now. I'll be back to talk to you again later.

Good-night

I'M BACK AND FEELING GREAT !!!!!!!!!

Hello dear world

Good evening !!!!!!!!! I know that I haven't been coming to talk to you but you will be happy to know that I am back and eager to talk to you. You might want to know that my old supervisor is back with my coworkers and I even if its only for a short time. It has been nice having him back with us for the time being. Yes it was another day at work for me and you might want to know that our Christmas Tree at our building was put up by a couple of guys that are in charge of putting it up every year. The Christmas Tree is pretty huge and it sits in the front lobby of our building. Pretty soon it will be Thanksgiving.

I have some more news to report. Quite early this morning the lights in our building went out and they didn't come back on until a little while later. The people in the courtrooms had to sit in the hallways like my coworkers and I did. My coworkers and I were sitting in our room at the time the lights went out and let me tell you when the lights go out in our room it is pitch black and you can't see a thing. We were all eating at the time so we ate and then we went and sat in the hallways until the lights came on. We all joked about it with some of the people the entire day it was quite funny as we told people not to be turning off the lights in the building.

Anywho...it seems like Winter has come pretty early to Atlanta, Georgia. The leaves are falling and the cold wind came with a vengeance. It has been quite freezing these last couple of days....oh the weather outside is frightful (singing a little winter song).

By the way I started reading a book I bought called "Wife For Hire" by Janet Evanovich. The story is about a guy named Hank Mallone who decides that he needs a pretend wife so that he can get a loan from the bank in the town that he lives in. A woman named Maggie Toone decides to take his offer. So far my dear world its a pretty good book.

So my dear world how are you these days ??? I do want to thank you all for your kind thoughts to how I was feeling recently. I did miss talking to you and I couldn't wait to get back ? Last but not least are you getting ready for the holidays ?? I haven't started getting ready yet. Is it getting cold where you are ??

Well that's it for now. I'll talk to you again soon !!!!!!!!! I am so so very glad to be back. Take care everyone

Byyyyyyyyye !!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing New

Hello dear world

How are you ?? I want to apologize for not coming and talking to you lately. I just haven't been feeling good. I hate to say it but I stopped writing in my handwritten diary/journal because I just don't feel like I have anything to write about anymore. I also haven't come to talk to you lately because I have been feeling really really blah these days. I know the holidays are coming but I just haven't been feeling like talking much these days. There's nothing new in my neck of the woods and I don't have anything much to talk about. I'll return when I'm feeling better.

I do hope that you are all well. That's all for now.

Good-night

Some Good News...

Hello dear world

Good evening. First things first....you will be happy to know that my coworkers and I are still together which I am happy about. This morning the new supervisor acted like he didn't know anything but after my coworkers and I got back from lunch he announced that he was the new supervisor and what changes would happen. Earlier today my coworkers and I talked to our old supervisor on the phone when the new guy wasn't in the room and we got to tell him how much we miss him and he even told me that he liked me and how much he misses me and my humor. I do wish he could come back but it seems that he won't be. I do have to say that I agree with my friend Carly of http://ellipsissuddenlycarly.blogspot.com/ . She also wrote that she hates change, and the unknown and so do I. I wish that things at work could go back to the way they were. My coworkers and I are missing how things used to be.

I know my dear world that I have been a little stuck in negativity lately actually I have been quite a bit stuck in negativity which I am going to work on. I am going to work hard on my behaviour tomorrow I promise. I read a quote that Carly shared that I would like to share with you :

"A positive attitue may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort."

                                            - Herm Albright, quoted in Reader's Digest 6/95

Well my dear world how are things with you ?? I promise you a more positive attitude tomorrow. I do hope all is well with you. By the way have you noticed the time change and it getting darker earlier ?? It seems like by the time you get home its time to go back to bed. What do you think ??

Good-night or perhaps your already in bed in that case........Good morning

Sharing Some News.....

Hello dear world

Good evening...first let me say thank you for all of your kind words to me about my work situation. Hopefully things will work out for me and my coworkers and we won't be split up.

Anywho...I did want to come by and tell you about my day yesterday which I can say was a blast. I had soooooooo much fun. Yesterday my day began when my mom called to me from my bedroom and told me that we were going out to eat for breakfast with my cousin Peter. I quickly got up and got dressed and got ready to go. My mom and I and my niece Megan did have to wait for my dad and my other niece Jeanette who was at her piano lesson. A little while later my dad and Jeanette got back and we all hopped into the car so we could go over and pick up my cousin Peter who has been staying at my Auntie Boobie's house while he is visiting.

Once we picked up my cousin Peter we took a ride to a different Chick-Fil-A located in Fayetteville, Georgia which was nice. I can tell you that their biscuits were larger than the ones at the Chick-Fil-A near our house. While we were there my mom and my cousin Peter kept us laughing. Let me tell you my mom and my cousin are both something.

Later on after breakfast we went to my favorite place on earth "Barnes & Noble" which is a huge huge bookstore. There is quite an aroma when you first walk in that hits you in the most wonderful way and its the smell of new books. I just love going there its always fun. I did find some books I purchased. One of the books I bought is called "A Hopeless Romantic" by Harriet Evans and the other is called "The Hidden Life of Otto Frank" by Carol Ann Lee. You might want to know that I did buy a Barnes & Noble card for the first time. I also got a book that my niece Jeanette wanted and my dad got a sticker book for my niece Megan. After buying my books my mom and I went over to Starbucks which is located inside of Barnes & Noble. My mom ordered a Cappuccino and I ordered a Frappeccino which was a drink with coffee and a lot of rich chocolate blended in.

After the bookstore we dropped off my cousin Peter at my aunt's house. You might want to know that I started on cleaning my room which was a job. I still had more work to do on it today but I had gotten a lot of it done yesterday. You might also want to know that I am happy to report that my Uncle Tony was able to come home yesterday and he is recovering nicely. It looks like he will continue to recover which I am thrilled about. I haven't seen him yet but I look forward to seeing him soon.

Today I started reading "A Hopeless Romantic" that I got yesterday from Barnes & Noble. The book is about a woman named Laura Foster who is a hopeless romantic. Her friends know it, her parents know it even Laura acknowledges that she lives with her head in the clouds or buried in a romantic novel. It's proved harmless enough, even if it hasn't delivered her a real-life dashing hero yet. But when her latest relationship ends in a disaster that costs her friendships, her job and nearly her sanity, Laura swears off men and hopeless romantic fantasies for good. With her life in tatters around her Laura agrees to go on vacation with her parents. After a few days of visiting craft shops and touring stately homes of Chartley Hall, she crosses paths with Nick, the sexy, rugged estate manager. She finds she shares more than a sense of humor with him - in fact, she starts to think she could fall for him. The question is, is Nick all he seems ? or has Laura got it wrong again ? Will she open her heart only to have it broken again ?

At the time I was reading the book where she was in love with a guy named Dan who had a girlfriend named Amy. A little while later I read that Laura was told by Dan the he got his girlfriend Amy pregnant and he was staying with her. Laura ended up leaving Dan which I think was a good choice. I'll have to tell you more of the story later.

Anywho...you will be happy to know that I spent the day finishing up cleaning up my room. I have to admit that my room was beginning to look like the Bermuda Triangle and the entire world was falling into my room. I'm sure that after a while half of the house would have tipped over from the weight of my room. Now the Navy Seals won't have to be called in to find my room. For the first time in a long while I opened up my windows and let in some cool fresh air which was nice. I also lit (2) of my favorite candles one of them being a Pumpkin Pie candle and the other was a Roasted Acorn candle which smelled wonderful.

That's about it for me and my news. How was your weekend my dear world ?? Did you go out or did you stay in this weekend ? I do hope you got to enjoy your weekend. I'll talk to you again soon.

Take care

Upsetting News...

Hello dear world

How are you ? I have to say that I am not doing great today. I have some rather upsetting news. The news I have to share is about work. I am quite sad to report that my coworkers and I which include me and 3 women who are a little older than me and a older gentlemen. The thing is we work together in a group and we might soon have to be split up. It all begins with news that we will soon be losing our supervisor who we have come to know and like. The other part of my news is that we have a guy that was sent to our department and he found a way of getting the job away from our supervisor. The thing is he has created so much drama in our department and he has been upsetting me and my coworkers. Apparently he will be coming in Monday and seperating me and my coworkers. My coworkers and I have come to get to know eachother and we hang out a lot during our lunch breaks and on our break time. We have come to where we go through the day with eachother getting our work done and now we may soon lose that. My coworkers and I don't want to be split up we do work well together and now it seems that this guy will be ending all of that. My dear world I don't know why this is happening. This guy has absolutely no experience being a supervisor and he has absolutely no idea all the work me and my coworkers do in the building. I don't know if there is even anything my coworkers can do to stop this. I just don't know my dear world I just don't know.

I don't think that things at work will ever be the same for me and my coworkers. I just feel sick at the moment....totally and utterly sick. The only good part of the day I can report is that the weather was nice in my neck of the woods.

How was your day my dear world ??

Trick - Or - Treat Through J-Land

Hello dear world

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE !!!!!!!!

Good evening....its All Hallows Eve and all of the ghosts and goblins are gathering close and so I thought I would come and join you.

 You might not know this but I am a very mischievous person and let me explain why...today was another day at work for me and let me tell you what I did. Before I left for work this morning I placed some scar tissue stickers on different areas of my face for Halloween and do you know what happened ???

Well, a lot of people walked up to me and asked me if I had been in an accident and at first I just laughed but I had told them the truth that it was for Halloween. They all told me that the stickers really looked real which even my coworkers agreed until they had seen up close that they weren't real. Many of the people at my work had came up to me with a scared look on their faces so I made sure to immediately tell them the truth about the stickers not being real. I also had some band-aids on my face so many of the people at work were curious to know if I was alright. Quite a bit of people who were in the hallways didn't come up to me they just stared with this weird look on their faces. Later in the afternoon at lunch time I went to a thrift store with my coworkers when I saw a young boy who came up close and I could tell that he was looking at my face. I kept looking down so he couldn't see my entire face. He then walked to the other side of me so he could try to get a better look which I never gave him a chance to see my face as I pretended to be looking at something. There were also some women in the store who didn't come up to me they just stared at me as I walked through the store. You could tell that the women were thinking something and perhaps wondering about what I had on my face.

 Once my coworkers and I left the store we went to a gas station where I purchased a few items like some chips and a bottle of soda and I can tell you that there was a male cashier who rang me up who also looked at my face in a very strange way but he never said anything. Then after we left the store we got back to our work.

 Once we got back to work a lot of people were curious to ask me if something had happened to me but my coworkers and I made up different stories to what happened to me. The entire day was funny from start to finish. I really did enjoy my Halloween at work.

 At the moment I am home alone since my sister took my nieces out trick-or-treating at one of her friends house. I didn't really feel like going so I let them go and enjoy their time. My oldest niece said she would bring me back some candy though so I am sure they will enjoy their Halloween. All in all I am having a wonderful quiet night at home.

How was your Halloween today my dear world ?? Do you have any plans for the evening ??? I do hope that you have a wonderfully fun and memorable Halloween. Do join me again for another visit.

Perhaps you won't run into any ghosts or goblins or a werewolf in your travels today.

Good - Night and don't forget to Trick - Or - Treat Through J-Land

This, That And Some Good News

Hello dear world

(Singing) Good evening to you and lots of good cheer. So my dear world how are you ? I am doing well. I have a little bit of news for you.

First things first....it was another day at work for me and let me tell you that the weather has been quite crisp today. I guess its time for warm fires and hot chocolate.

Anywho...I have to tell you that while I was on my lunch break at work my mom called me to tell me that my uncle Tony's kidney transplant went well. He got a kidney from one of my cousin's whose wife went ahead and gave him one of hers. Anywho I am glad to report that he is in recovery and my cousin's wife is doing fine as well. At the moment I am home watching my nieces while my family is at the hospital.

I have to tell you did you know that Domino's Pizza doesn't take checks ?? All they take is cash so you might want to know that before you order a pizza from Domino's. My nieces and I ordered 2 medium pizza's with sausage and black olives. One was half and half with sausage and black olives. We also coke a Coke to go with the pizza which cost me $22.77 talk about spending money on dinner. I happen to enjoy being home with my nieces.

I also wanted to tell you that you have to try a bottle of Lever 2000 Original Shower Wash it smells wonderful and you might also want to try one of their soaps. I also picked up at the grocery store with my coworkers some Devil's Food Crumb Cake Donuts and some Nutella spread. I thought you might want to know this piece of information.

So how was your day today ??? and how is the weather in your part of the world ?? I do hope that you were able to have a lovely day. That's about it for me. I'll talk to you again later.

By the way you might want to know that I have a cousin named Peter who is in town and visiting us. I wish you could meet him my dear world. He is quite a character.

Well bye !!!!!!!!!!

A Little Note....

Hello dear world

How are you today ?? I just wanted to pop in and say hello. I hate to say it but I stayed home all day and did nothing. My folks and my nieces and my sister who was off of work today went out for a while. I on the other hand stayed home.

Anywho...a few minutes ago I watched the movie "The Christmas Card" which I have to say is a great heartwarming movie. If you get the chance you should see it. The movie includes the actor Ed Asner. You might want to know that I got the movie at Brandsmart and I have wanted to see it so I saw it and I had to get it. I wrote about it recently in my entry from my weekend. I highly recommend it.

So how was your weekend ?? I can't believe that this month is almost over already. Soon it will be Thanksgiving. How are things in your neck of the woods ?? I hope hope that you will be able to enjoy your week. Of course tomorrow starts another week at work for me. That's about it for me because its pretty late. I'll talk to you again soon.

Bye

I Got The Flu Shot And Some Shopping

Hello dear world

Its Saturday !!!!!!!!! I love Saturday's yes yes I do. First of all earlier today my folks and I headed to Kaiser which I will explain later in this entry.

Anywho....you might want to know that last night my family and I rented some movies from Blockbuster. Its quite fun to go there and look to see what movies they have. We did rent some movies and here are the names : 10 Items Or Less, The Contract, The Messengers, Saints and Soldiers. I have to say that the movie "10 Items or Less" with Morgan Freeman was a great funny movie my mom and I both enjoyed it last night. This evening my mom and I watched "The Contract" with Morgan Freeman and John Cusack which was a very wonderful movie. John Cusack had his most amazing performance ever in the movie I was glad to see him in the movie. I think he deserves an academy award for the money in my opinion.We haven't seen "The Messengers" yet but we will.

Back to what I was wanting to tell you earlier this morning my folks and I went to Truett's for breakfast. My nieces went out with their mother instead of with us. Anywho...it was just me and my folks. We went to eat at Truett's which has the best breakfast buffet in Georgia. Unfortunately I hate to say that I didn't like their scrambled eggs which I usually like. I did like their bacon and the cookies -n- cream milkshake I ordered there.

After breakfast my folks and I did go over to Kaiser for our Flu shot which is being given for the next couple of days. I was nervous I must say when I saw the needle but when I got it I didn't feel it. Before we got to get the shot my mom was walking on a cane she uses and she able to get us to the front of the line which was easy for us to finish early. Getting the flu shot didn't take but a second.

After Kaiser my folks and I went to my very favorite store "Garden Ridge". I love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love going to Garden Ridge. I just love looking at all of the Christmas ornaments and decorations. I bought a little chocolate stocking ornament filled with christmas cookies. I also bought a cowboy santa and a box of Jeff Gordon Christmas ornaments which I liked. My mom on the other hand bought 2 very spooky Halloween houses to put on a table she has full of Halloween decorations. I haveto tell you that when you walk into Garden Ridge the wonderful aroma of cinnamon hits you with a most tempting hand that lures you in.

After Garden Ridge we then went to a place called "Brandsmart" because there is a raffle going on a little RV that my dad is interested in. We filled out some tickets and I am hoping we win because my dad would love it. You might want to know that Brandsmart has everything from toasters to radio's to pots and pans to CD's to movies. I was able to get my favorite movie called "The Christmas Card" .The movie is a story that begins in the midst of war in Afghanistan where a guy named Cody Cullen played by John Newton is touched by a lovely card sent by a woman named Faith Spelman played by Alice Evans. Faith lives in the small town of Nevada City, California. As months pass, the card never leaves Cody's side, giving him the strength to survive and setting him on a mission to find her. The Christmas Card is a movie the young and old can enjoy I certainly like it. If you get a chance you have to see it my dear world.

So how was your Saturday ??? Did you get to go out today ??? I sure hope you got to enjoy your day. I must say that the weather in my neck of the woods was beautiful and I enjoyed every last minute of it. How are things with you my dear world ??

That's about it for me. I just wanted to pop in and share my day with you. I'll talk to you again later.

Good-night !!!!!!!
