Some Random Thoughts For You....

Hello dear world

Good evening. I wanted to come by and share just a few thoughts with you. Its getting rather late here in my neck of the woods.

You will be happy to know that my mother is getting better. My nieces and my father and I are doing well. I read a good book called "A Soldier For Christmas" by the writer Jillian Hart which was a really good book. I had some bowtie pasta with a white alfredo sauce with shrimp for dinner with broccoli which was good. Of course tomorrow I will be going back to work. The weather was nice today and the rain seems to be gone.

All in all things are good. How was your day dear world ? I hope that you had a really nice Sunday. I will talk to you again later.

Bye

Some Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful News....

Hello dear world

Good evening everyone !!!!!!!!!! Let me begin by saying that I am truly truly truly truly happy happy today. Earlier today my dad and I and my nieces went down to Piedmont Hospital to see my mom.

The good news is that she got to come home today with us. She is getting better and I am glad that she is out of the hospital. The doctor gave her some medicine that she has to take of course. While we were there my nieces and I went down to the cafeteria to get something to eat. I had a hot dog and my nieces each had some french fries. I had some of my youngest niece's french fries and I can tell you that they have some of the best french fries in town.

Anywho....we went back to the room and the nurse came and took out her IV and got her ready to go home. She was given some prescription for some medicine and another nurse brought her a wheelchair and we got home. It did start to rain on the way but I didn't mind the rain today.

On the way to the hospital however the expressway was a mess. Three of the lanes were closed off due to some road work being done. We did get there and we were happy to find out that my mom could go home. Today was a most wonderful day. Its so very nice having my mom home again and you know what she missed......me making her coffee.

How was your day my dear world ?? I do hope that your day was a nice one. All is well in my neck of the woods. How are things in your part of the world ?? That's about all for now.

Good-night dear world

Quite A Day....

Hello dear world

Good evening everyone. How are you all ?? I just got home a few minutes ago from my aunt and uncle's house and I will explain why later in my news.

Anywho...it was another day at work for me and I am happy to report that the charges were dropped completely against the police officers which I think is great news. The police officers were doing their jobs and they were doing their duty as police officers so it was good that the charges against them were dropped.

While I was at work apparently my mom was NOT feeling well so my dad took my mom to Piedmont Hospital with my nieces. Apparently her blood pressure was sky high and they did some tests on her.

I rode home with a coworker and when I got home my uncle was waiting on me while my dad was still with my mom at the hospital. I ended up going to the Senior Center with my uncle Tony and my aunt. You will be quite proud of me my dear world since the people who worked there seemed to really like me. I ended up working there serving a late dinner to the senior's there and then I helped to clean up the area without being asked. I was just a visitor there and I practically became an employee there without getting paid. The worker's appreciated the fact that I helped without being told. They told my aunt and uncle that they could bring me back anytime which was nice to hear.

My mom is still at the hospital since she was admitted and my dad said that before he left they had given my mom some pain medication. Hopefully she will be doing better tomorrow. I'm sure that my mom would be proud of the fact that I helped at the senior center while she was in the hospital.

I do have to work again tomorrow so I won't be able to go and visit her in the hospital but my dad will be taking off of work to be with her. I hope that she is able to come home tomorrow but you never know.

So how was your day my dear world ? I do hope that you and your family are doing well. I just wanted to come by and share my news with you. I'll talk to you again later

Good-night

Some News....

Hello dear world

Good evening everyone !!!!!! Your probably wondering where have you been lately ??? Well my dear world I have been around and doing fine. I have been working and keeping busy. My boss has been on vacation this week and we have all been good while he's away.

Anywho...its been pretty hot here in my neck of the woods. Its been like a 1000 degrees lately. It wasn't too bad today which was nice. While I was at work there were a ton of police officers at my work. There is a case that is supposed to go to the grand jury. The case involves two police officers who might or might not be indicted for murder because they were trying to stop a guy from running over a fellow officer. I hope that the police officer's are NOT indicted since they were doing their job and trying to help out a fellow police officer who was being hurt. I didn't hear if the case was going to be turned over to the grand jury or NOT but hopefully it won't but you never know.

Of course today I saw Andrew and we chatted for a few minutes this morning at work. He even joked around with me as we were chatting. Its always nice to talk to him and yes I still think that he's a pretty nice looking guy. There is this other guy at work named K---H and I really do like him. I talked to K---H this afternoon and I have to say that he is a pretty charming guy. I try to take the time even if I'm busy to stop and talk to him. I'm just saying my dear world.

So how are things with you my dear world ??? I hope all is well with you. How are things in your part of the world ??? I am feeling better these days

Good-night dear world

Feeling Better....And I Did Some Shopping

Hello dear world

Good evening everyone. I am sorry for not being around but I was still pretty upset about the election. I had been staying around the house not wanting to go out because of how I was feeling but I am feeling better today.

You will be happy to know that I went out today with my family to the JCPenney outlet store but I didn't find anything I wanted however it was fun to get out and just look around the store.

After the outlet store we took a ride over to Walmart where I did do some shopping. I bought some school supplies for my nieces and I bought myself some of my favorite Ben & Jerry's ice cream and some stickers for my youngest niece. I did buy myself a cute shirt that I liked and I also looked around the store and I bought myself some other stuff at the store.

Yes my dear world I had a nice day today and I did get out of the house which I have NOT done in a while except for going to work.

So my dear world how was your day ??? I do hope that all is well with you. Yes I am doing well today and I am feeling better these days. I am still a little upset about the election still but I am working on overcoming my feelings on that.

That's about it for now. I'll talk to you again later

Bye

A Little Disappointing.....

Hello dear world

Good evening all. I have a little sad news to report about the election. My uncle Tony Antoine lost the election which I have to say that I was upset about.

Yesterday my dad and I went over to one of the polling places and we held up signs and we campaigned for him while we wore our t-shirts with his name on them while my mom and my oldest niece took my youngest niece to her swim lessons.

Today I was really upset about the news but my uncle and my aunt dropped by the house a little earlier after I got home from work. He is okay about the election he said that he will NOT be running again for any position. I must say that I was rather proud of him for running. I am quite disappointed in the voters of my neighborhood and they say that their was a low turn out of voters at the polls. I did vote for my uncle but the news was still disappointing that he did NOT win. I wish things would have turned out differently. The other people who got elected I feel did NOT deserve their wins because they have NOT done good in my neck of the woods the first time around.

I guess I shouldn't dwell on the election and just realize that things happen and sometimes politics is a hard thing. I did enjoy campaigning for my uncle and I hope that things in my part of the woods will get better.

Anywho......how was your day dear world ??? How are things with you ?? I hope your news is far better than mine at least I hope so. That's about it for now.

I'll talk to you again later

Update.....

Hello dear world

Good evening all. How is everyone ? Its me again. Today of course started another week at work for me.

You might want to know that tomorrow is Election Day for my Uncle Tony and the other candidates running. I really really hope that he wins the election. I think that he will be a good change for the position that he is running for.

In other news earlier tonight I watched the movie "No Reservations" with Catherine Zeta Jones and I have to say that its a bad idea to I watch a movie about food on a empty stomach. I really liked the movie and I have to say that I will definitely be watching it again. You might also want to check out the movie "BREACH" with Ryan Phillippe which is a totally great movie.

Here are the links :

How was your day my dear world ?? I do hope that you had a really enjoyable day. That's all for now. I'll talk to you later.

Just A Note.....

Hello dear world

Good evening how is everyone ? I am doing fine. You might want to know that I did NOT go to the barbecue this afternoon. My family came back early and they said that it wasn't fun. They said they had decided not to stay long at the barbecue.

I did watch the movie "27 Dresses" yesterday which was a good movie. I stayed home and just hung out. I don't have any plans tomorrow but you never know.

How are you my dear world ?? How are things with you ?? I do hope all is well. That's all for now.

Good-night

It's Friday !!!!!!!!!!

Hello dear world

Good evening everyone !!!!!! Its officially Friday. It was another day at work for me and yes it was a little bit of a busy day for me but not too bad.

Today I saw Andrew as I was walking by at work and he made a point to stop me and say hello and to ask me how I was doing. I stopped and said hello to him and asked him how he was doing in return. I do like talking to him and he has such an amazing smile. I just had to share that little note with you.

My folks are going to a barbecue tomorrow but I don't really know the people at the barbecue so I was thinking of not going. I just don't feel like going tomorrow.

How was your day dear world ??? I do hope that you all had a really nice Friday. I do hope that you all enjoy your weekend. It was another long week and now its time for the weekend. Do you have any plans ??

Good-night all

Some News....

Hello dear world

Good evening !!!!!! Its me again. Its been raining recently in my neck of the woods. Of course I have been working all this week and I am through with Inmate Training. The Deputy Warden taught us in our final class. I learned a lot and I am glad I took the class.

Anywho....yesterday about 11pm there was a guy who works in Law Enforcement in the Special Operations Unit and he was waiting for the elevator. He and I talked for a few minutes he said hello to me and I replied in return. We then joked around with each other before getting on the elevator. The silly thing is...I didn't ask him his name. I always seem to do that. He had a great sense of humor and an amazing smile I doubt that I will see him again because that was my first time seeing him.

In other news yesterday my folks and I went over to the Senior Center near the house to go vote early. My dad had already went to vote somewhere else so my mom and I went in to vote. Yes, I voted for my Uncle Tony for the position of Superior Court Clerk that he is running for. I hope he wins I think that he will do a great job.

After we went to vote we went over to Blockbuster to take back some movies we had rented previously. We did end up renting some more movies of course. My mom picked up a movie called "The Air I Breathe" . I hate to say it but at first I thought that it was NOT going to be good but I was wayyyy WRONG. The movie turned out to be quite GOOD. I think that the best part of the movie was the actor Brendan Fraser who was quite wonderful and Andy Garcia was also quite good in the movie. My folks also liked the movie and I can say that I higly recommend it.

Anywho...today was another day at work for me. I was down at the employee entrance where I saw Andrew and the best part was he and I started talking. He was the one that started the conversation and it was a very great conversation that we had. It was so nice talking to him. He talked to me and he asked me questions and he asked me what I was doing for the weekend which I told him. I told him that I am going to a barbecue Saturday which I don't really know anyone. Its some people that my folks know so I told Andrew that I wasn't sure if I wanted to go. He then said that he hopes that I have fun over the weekend. He is a really nice guy and he definitely has a great smile. I really enjoyed talking to him and I did make sure to tell him to have a great evening as I was leaving work which he said the same to me as he waved to me. Before we started talking he did say that it was nice seeing me again since I hadn't seen him this week until now. I have to say that I still like him and I am glad that we talked today. My dear world I still think that Andrew is a pretty great guy. Maybe its okay that he and I talk he doesn't see a problem with it. He wouldn't talk to me if he didn't want to right ???

Anywho.....how has your week been ??? I do hope that you have enjoyed your week. How are things in your part of the world ?? That's all for me and my news. I will be back to talk to you later.

Good-night !!!!!!!!

I Am Officially A Very Silly Person......

Hello dear world

Good evening everyone once more to you all !!!!!!!! My dear world you will laugh as you read this and even I have to laugh at myself today.

I totally overreacted today about going to the Clayton County Prison near my work. I went with one of the guys from my department and I totally thought that it was going to be this terrible horrible experience which it wasn't. Our teacher was a guy named Cpt. Holsey and he was a really nice teacher. I didn't do so well on the GCIC test that we had to take but he said that it was alright he just wanted to see what we knew. The Inmate Training class we had from 10:00am to 4:00pm today was quite informative and I sure learned quite a lot and I have to say that you all and my mom was very right. Sometimes you have to go into life and sample different things and different experiences. I sure feel like a huge dork after all the complaining and whining I did about how I thought going to the Prison was going to be like. It was totally different than how I thought it was going to be. It was a learning experience and I made it into this big huge deal than what it was.

Anywho......I do have to go back tomorrow for the last class at 8:00am - 11:30am which I am sure will be a learning experience as well. Who knows maybe one day I will have to work with Inmates and I might be really good at working with them. I dressed in my pink shirt with my light brown slacks with my matching necklace and my earrings and matching bracelet and I did look nice at the prison. I always make a big deal out of things and I am learning that its silly to blow things out of poportion. We did find things to laugh at and we enjoyed the class. There was a nice looking guy there named DEAN but he complained a lot about having to go back to work after class.

I am learning my dear world....I am learning. So how was your day ??? I do hope that you had a nice Monday. It was a nice warm day in Georgia and it was a nice day overall.

That's about all for now. I'll get back with you later

Bye !!!!!!!!!!!

Some News....Yes I Went Shopping

Hello dear world

Good evening everyone !!!!!! How are you all ? I am doing well. A little while ago my folks and I and my nieces went shopping at our favorite store called Kohl's where I did quite a bit of shopping which I must say is a little exhausting. You will be happy to know that I bought a nice pink dress shirt with white stripes with a matching pink necklace some earrings and a matching pink bracelet that I bought today since I have to go to the Prison tomorrow. I also bought a nice black dress shirt and a white dress shirt with colorful flowers on it that I will have to decide on wearing on Tuesday in which I also have to go to the Prison for Inmate Training. My pink outfit will be quite cute tomorrow and I am hoping that I will look nice in.

While I was also at Kohl's I also bought my oldest niece Jeanette an IPOD portable music system that she really liked as a birthday gift since tomorrow is her 17th birthday. I can't believe that she will be 17 tomorrow and she is becoming more and more beautiful every day. I also bought her a ring that she liked which I am more than happy to put a smile on her face everytime. I also bought my dad a cap he wanted.

After shopping we took my niece to O'Charley's for dinner for her birthday which is always good. I ended up getting the cedar planked Tilapia with smashed potato's and a side of clam chowder which I gave to my mom since she likes clam chowder soup. My oldest niece got a free caramel pie since it was her birthday which we all liked.

I have to tell you that today was a really enjoyable day of course earlier this morning the sky opened up and it rained buckets and buckets but it ended a little while later and we did go out to shop. Of course I spent quite a bit of money today but it was well worth it.

While I was out at Kohl's by the way after seeing Nicholas Cage in "National Treasure 2" I ended up buying the movie "It Could Happen To You" which is one of my favorite movies. Lately I am getting into Nicholas Cage and I can't wait to see "It Could Happen To You" once again.

How was your day today ??? Did you get to go out and do some shopping ??? I do hope that your day was as nice as ours. Well I will talk to you all again later.

Bye !!!!!!!!!

A Wonderful 4th Of July......

Hello dear world

Good evening !!!!!!! I wanted to come by and tell you that I had a wonderful 4th of July yesterday. Our day began rather unfun. My folks and I and my niece's went over to IHOP to eat which I hate to say was NOT good. No one came over to see us or just to bring us a glass of water and the waiter's and the waitress's were in the same room we were in. We had decided to get up and leave. My mom made sure to tell them that we were NOT happy with how we were treated.

We left IHOP and we went for breakfast at Denny's nearby which was good. I did treat for breakfast and after we ate we took a ride over to Walmart to do some shopping. I did get some more fireworks for a little celebration we had at the house. A friend of my oldest niece Jeanette met us at Walmart and she came home with us. We had a little cook out at the house followed by fireworks that we enjoyed later in the evening.

Before we went to eat however my uncle Tony and my aunt dropped over to the house to see us for a few minutes. Later in the evening my mom and I watched the movie "National Treasure 2" which was a really great movie and I have to say that Nicholas Cage did a very wonderful job in the movie and he was definitely worth watching. I really liked the movie. My dad also liked the movie as well.

I hoped that the 4th was really nice for the troops in Iraq and I am hoping that they can come home soon.

Anywho......today my folks and I and my niece's and Jeanette's friend Dayja went to Southlake Mall to do some shopping. I didn't buy anything but I did some window shopping which is always fun. My dad bought a shirt and my youngest niece got a new backpack with wheels on it which she liked.

I can tell you that at the mall there is a place called "Auntie Anne's" which have the best pretzels in town. I got me a sour cream and onion pretzel and it was nice and hot from the oven and it was quite good. They also have a pretzel wrapped around a hot dog that my dad had and it sure looked good. Going to Southlake Mall is always fun and we enjoy it.

Later on we left the mall and we came home and my folks fixed dinner which I helped. My folks and I did watch two more of our movies. I hate to say that the movie "Fool's Gold" was a huge disappointment. The first minute was funny and after that it just got NOT worth watching. We also watched the movie "Vantage Point" a few minutes ago and we LOVVVVVVED it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can tell you that Dennis Quaid and Forest Whitaker were quite wonderful throughout the movie. I higly recommend "Vantage Point" it is a must see movie.

Right now my niece and her friend are enjoying their sleepover and I think that her friend is a really nice young woman and they are having a blast. I have to say that I enjoy spending time with my family.

So my dear world how was your day ?? I do hope that you had a really nice 4th of July I sure did. All in all how are things in your part of the world ??? Its pretty late here in my part of the world so I will say......

Good-night !!!!!!!!!!

More News...

Hello dear world

Good evening !!!!!!!! Here I am again. Well a whole new month came rolling in. Its been a week of work for me but tomorrow I am off for the 4th of July. Do you have any plans ? I hate to say it but I have been having some soreness in my neck recently.

Monday and Tuesday I will have to attend that Inmate Training in Jonesboro, Georgia instead of in Jackson which is much better and its closer to work. I do have to go back to work after the training. I also have to take a test while I am there and hopefully I will do pretty good on it. I am not a fan of taking test's my dear world. I will be going to the Clayton County Prison for the training. I will let you know how it went after I complete my training.

I am happy to report that Tuesday night my mom rented me some movies I wanted to see including "National Treasure 2" and the movie "Vantage Point" and of course "Fool's Gold" and I can't wait to watch them. I did watch the movie "I Do (But I Don't)" with Dean Cain and I have to say that Dean Cain made the movie worth watching. I'll have to let you know how the other movies are after I see them.

You might also want to know that a few days ago I bought the CD "Yes I Am" by Melissa Etheridge. My favorite song on the CD is "Come To My Window" which is a great song.

By the way my niece Jeanette is doing much much better which I am happy about. My other niece is doing great as well. I wasn't feeling too good yesterday when I got home from work but I took some tylenol and still my neck hurts but I am dealing with it.

So how are things with you my dear world ?? I hope that things are well and I want to hear all of your news. Do keep me posted my dear world.

Bye !!!!!!!!
