News For Wednesday....And Great News

Hello everyone

Good evening everyone !!!! How are you all ? I hope you are all well. It was another day at work for me. It seems that it is now Autumn in my neck of the woods. It is getting a little cooler these days.

Anywho...I have some rather late breaking great news. I have joined the technological age and gone high tech. I am for the very first time a proud owner of a Samsung Impression phone from AT&T. Yes I am now a woman with a cell phone and I am learning how to text and send text. I love the look of it and I am definitely learning that it has quite a few gadgets and gizmo's and what have you. I am now a part of the cell phone population of zillion's apparently. Apparently a lot of people have cell phone's and now I have one. Can you believe it ??? My boss will probably tell me that I can't be on the phone a lot. I am definitely learning to enjoy the look of it.

I am in the middle of reading the book "Olive Kitteridge" by Elizabeth Strout. I didn't like the woman Olive Kitteridge at first but I am finding that she is a person who deserves a lot of respect and I am liking her more and more. The other people in the story are quite interesting. There is a lot of mention of people and doughnuts in the story. I have to say that Elizabeth Strout is a very talented and wonderful writer. If you haven't read "Olive Kitteridge" you need to do so immediately. It is well worth reading and I highly recommend it as a must read book.

So how was your day dear world ? How are things in your part of the world ? I hope you are having a great week. Do keep me posted and I will talk to you again soon.

Good night !!!!!!!!!

A Wonderful Day.....And A Dinner Out

Hello everyone

Good evening all !!!!!!!! How is everyone today ? I hope you are all well. You might be wondering where I've been. It was dark and raining quite hard yesterday. My mom and I and my niece's stayed home and watched some scary movies on television. We watched the movie "The Mist" which was good in the beginning but the ending was not all that good. We also watched the scary movie "Carrie" which was quite good and scary. My dad on the other hand went to a RV show and he looked at a few RV's which he liked. I think we will end up getting another one.

Anywho....earlier today my mom and dad took took some branches off a tree in our front yard which did NOT want to give. He even used his Ranger truck which it still did NOT want to give. He eventually got it down. My older niece and I also helped to try and pull it down.

A few minutes ago we just returned from a nice dinner out at "Red Lobster" and yes I treated my family to dinner. We all had the Ultimate Feast which comes with shrimp, a Lobster tail, a side item and a salad and some crab legs which was quite good. My oldest niece had the shrimp plate and my youngest niece Megan we got her a big mac from McDonald's which she likes. I also ordered the Ultimate Fondue which is a bread bowl of some crab meat and a mixture of cheese. We all enjoyed our meal out and they liked going to dinner. I like going to Red Lobster the food is always good and we have fun going out together.

You might want to know that I am reading the book "The Associate" by the writer John Grisham. He writes many great legal thriller's which I like. I finished reading "Mercury In Retrograde" which was a good book. I like reading books by John Grisham he is a wonderful writer and I am almost finished reading it. In the story there is a guy named Kyle McAvoy who is being followed by some powerful operatives who want him to spy on his own law firm. There is another guy in the story named Baxter Tate who was murdered perhaps because of an incident back when he was in a university. Kyle is also involved in the incident and Kyle has went and gotten himself a lawyers to stop those who are following him. I'll have to let you know how it goes.

So my dear world how was your weekend ? I do hope that all is well in your neck of the woods. I hope that you have a great week ahead. It was a really beautiful day in my neck of the woods. I'll talk to you again soon.

Take care everyone

Some Rather Sad News....

Hello everyone

Good evening everyone. How is everyone today ? I hope you are all well. It was another day at work for me and yes we got some sunshine again for a change.

I have some rather sad news to report. The RV that my mom and dad purchased had to be taken to Woodstock for a repair. The sad part is that due to the flooding there our Earthbound RV is under (8) eight feet of water and so is the whole RV park. My dad is quite disappointed about our RV. We only had it for a short time. I still can't believe that our RV is gone forever. Luckily my parents have insurance on our RV but it is still upsetting. We only went camping in it one time and now it is at the RV park underwater.

I am sure other people are having it hard with their homes and businesses underwater due to the flood. It is sad all around when something like a natural disaster happens. It is all over the news but we had to go through losing our RV which was a little something special for my dad's retirement.

How are things for you my dear world ? I hope that things are well for you where you are. I hope that everyone is okay. I am here and doing well. My mom is feeling a little better but she is going through some pain. She has to go back to the doctor on Friday and hopefully she can get to feeling much much much better. I hope you are all having a good week so far.

Keep me posted on how things are in your neck of the woods. I'll talk to you again soon.

Take care

News For Tuesday....

Hello everyone

Good evening everyone !! How is everyone today ? I hope you are all well. A lot of things have been going on....nature wise. Recently we got a ton of rain in Atlanta, Georgia and in other parts of the county. A lot of the counties where I live got flooded due to the rain we got. In my neck of the woods of Clayton County we made it through the rain without any flooding thank goodness. I am sure that it has been hard for those who got a lot of flooding in their area. I hope that the rain passes without anymore flooding and causing anymore damage. A lot of people got killed due to the flooding which is quite sad. I hope that everyone is now safe and out of harm's way. I am sure that it will take time to clean up the damage of the water and flooding which I am sure will take its toll. Its been all over the news about the rain and flooding.

Anywho....we didn't get any rain in my part of the world for a change. It was another day at work for me of course. My mom has been under the weather which I will talk about later.

How are things in your part of the world ? I hope all is well. Has everyone been having a pretty good week so far ? I just wanted to drop in and let you know that I am fine and I am surviving in my part of the world.

I am still reading "Mercury In Retrograde" which is a pretty funny and very well written book. I purchased the book "The Associate" by John Grisham which I heard is a good book I will have to wait and see. That's about it for now. I'll talk to you all again soon.

Take care

Sunday Update.....

Hello everyone

Good evening all !!!!!!!! How is everyone today ? I hope you are all well. Early this morning my folks and I went to church which is at St. Philip Benizi Catholic Church. My niece's went to a birthday party. Mass was nice they have a religious store at our church which is nice. Me and my mom got some bracelets with the saints on it which we like. I really like the bracelets.

Anywho....after church we went to eat at IHOP and I had some Nutella Crepe's without banana's or strawberry topping. The Nutella Crepe's were quite tasty and I really have to say that I like the taste of Nutella. I also had some eggs and some bacon and sausage which I gave to my dad. Here is the link to check out Nutella ------> http://www.nutellausa.com/

After eating we went to a couple of store'w which weren't open we then ended up going to the JCPenney Outlet store where I bought a coffee colored shawl which I liked and some grey jogging pants which I wanted. My mom also got her some jogging pants as well. My dad bought a dress shirt and a tie which he wanted.

Once we left the store we rode down to the hair cutting place called "Great Clips" and we all got our hair cut. They do a great job at cutting my hair but I am sad to report that Great Clips will soon be moving to a different location. I don't know what I will do without my Great Clips place its where I go to get my hair cut. They did a wonderful job today cutting my hair and I have to say that I enjoy my hair short and I don't want it to grow out again.

Anywho....we are home now. How was your day dear world ?? I hope you had a really nice weekend. By the way are you ready for Christmas ??? I am wondering are you prepared for the Christmas season yet ?? Have you done any Christmas shopping ??? I have NOT done any Christmas shopping yet but I know that pretty soon the month of December will be here.

The countdown to Christmas is officially here !!!!!!!!!!

That's all for now. I'll talk to you again soon.

Wednesday's News....

Hello everyone

Good evening everyone how are all of you ? I hope everyone is well. Everyone has been remembering the very great actor Patrick Swayze. He will be missed by a lot of people. I think he was a tremendously great actor, human being and a very talented person. We will all miss you Patrick.

Anywho...today was a very wet rainy day in Georgia and I haven't been able to go walking since its been raining. I will have to start back once the rain is gone.

A lot of people at my work have really liked my hair being short. They also like the light color that I put in my hair. I also have a little bit of curl in my hair which they like. But one of my coworker's has to sometimes say really mean things to me or about me to people. I have NEVER brought it up to her but I think that its wrong that she has to go out of her way to be mean. I think its terrible that she has to say things or that she has to be rude. Am I wrong for feeling this way ????

I am also trying to cut back on certain things like candy, chocolate, cookies and drinking soda. I'm trying to eat better but sometimes its hard. Of course tomorrow my favorite show "BONES" will be returning to FOX which I am excited about. I am also getting into the show "THE VAMPIRE DIARIES" which will be on at the same time as BONES. I have been getting into "THE VIEW" which I have been taping since I have to be at work when its on.

How was your day my dear world ? How are things in your neck of the woods ? Are you getting as much rain as we are. They say on the news that it will rain for the next couple of days. I wouldn't mind a little sunshine right now. Its all grey and cloudy and I really miss the warm sunshiny days of Summertime.

I do hope you will all have a great rest of the week. I will talk to you again soon. Take care everyone.

Monday's Update...And Patrick Swayze Has Died

Hello everyone

Good evening all how is everyone today ? I hope you are all well. Today started another week at work for me. Today it was reported that people at my work have gotten the Swine Flu. When it was on the news I wasn't too concerned but now that it has hit at work I am worried about it. I hope they are able to get a vaccine together to give so that maybe there will be some help to stop the Swine Flu. I will go to Kaiser in October to get a shot for the Swine Flu.

Anywho...at the moment I am reading the book "Mercury In Retrograde" by Paula Froelich which is a pretty funny and interesting book. There is a woman in the story named Penelope Mercury whose boss is quite mean. There is another woman in the book named Lena "LIPSTICK CARCRASH" Lippencrass who is quite funny in the book. There is another woman in the story named Dana Gluck. So far the book is pretty funny and I really like it.

I went to Walmart earlier with my sister and my oldest niece Jeanette and I bought Jeanette a shirt she wanted and I picked up the book "Olive Kitteridge" by Elizabeth Strout. I heard online that its a pretty good book. You have to check out this site -----> http://bookingmama.blogspot.com/ . I can't wait to read it.

A little while ago my mom and my oldest niece helped to color my hair. My hair is now a golden color and I really really like it. I wanted to lighten up my natural haircolor which I have had for a while. I wanted a little change for a while.

On a more sad note one of my favorite actor's Patrick Swayze died from Pancreatic Cancer at the age of 57. I have to say that he was a really terrific actor. I really liked him in "Dirty Dancing" and "Road House" which are some movie's I really like. I can't believe that he is gone. He was one of the best actor's that I really enjoyed seeing. I would like to offer his family, friends and loved ones my condolences.

The singer Kanye West was rude to the singer Taylor Swift as she was accepting her award. He was being rude, obnoxious and he totally stole the moment from her. But Beyonce was a sweetheart and let Taylor take her moment. I think that it seems that saying "I'M SORRY" excuses his behavior. He should have to do more than apologize. I think that he was totally wrong and I think that he should be banned from the music awards for a couple of months so he see what being rude and arrogant can do for you. I think that he is NO kind of man in how he acted.


So how was your day my dear world ? I hope that you are having a really great week. Do keep me posted. I'll talk to you again soon.

Take care everyone

I'M HOME !!!!!!!!!




Hello everyone
Good evening how is everyone ? I hope you are all well. I wanted to let you know that I am back. My folks and I and my youngest niece Megan went to South Carolina over the weekend. We went to a place called "Sonny's" in South Carolina to pick up our new RV at "Earthbound RV" here is the link ----> http://www.earthboundrv.com/ . We traded in our Camplight for a new RV that my dad wanted. My oldest niece decided NOT to go with us. I did take some pictures here from the campground I hope you like them. The RV you see on the site is the one we have now and its nice. Do check it out.
After getting our RV we then went to a campground called "Paris Mountain State Park" in South Carolina to camp. We didn't have a reservation but we did get the last campsite they had at site #3 which was a pull through. It was a very lovely weekend. The weather in South Carolina was nice and we ended staying in our new RV for the very first time. The air conditioner in our new RV was a little messed up but we will call them tomorrow to see why. Our neighbors at the campsite next to us helped us out quite a bit. They were nice people they were a husband and wife and they were a very lovely couple and they were quite wonderful and they enjoyed meeting us.
So how was your weekend dear world ? I hope that you all had a nice weekend and I hope that you will have a great week ahead. I have to say that I wanted to thank all of you who have come to visit my blog/journal. Thanks to all of you who have made this a wonderful experience to share with all of you.
I'll talk to you again soon. Take care everyone.

News For Thursday.....

Hello everyone

Good evening all how is everyone today ? I hope you are all well. I doubt anyone will read this so NO more ranting about politics or anything Presidential.

Anywho...I did go to work today and I kept busy. I am trying to cut back on the cookies, chips, soda pop and candy that I often eat. I went to the park again today with my youngest niece Megan and my father and I walked (2) miles today around the track. I did get up to jogging for once which I haven't done in a long while. I have been trying to continue walking as much as I can. There was one woman there who was giving me some positive talk on how I was doing. She was really nice and I really do appreciate her positive behavior.

I did tape "The Vampire Diaries" I'll watch it later.


So how was your day my dear world ? I do hope that your day was a nice one. I'll talk to you again later.

Good night

Thoughts....

Hello everyone

Good evening how is everyone today ? I hope you are all well. I watched the President's speech in Congress and I have to say that he did an excellent job. I think it was a complete shame that Republican Congressman Joe Wilson caused a disruption in the halls of Congress while the President was speaking. Just because you have the freedom of speech does NOT mean that you have a right to do something as terrible as interrupt the President of the United States regardless of your beliefs and political opinions is wrong and should NOT be tolerated. I think that he should apologize for his behavior and he should feel ashamed at how he behaved. We would expect the same thing from our adults as we do from our chilren and teenagers.

Anywho...I did go walking with my niece's and I did push myself to walk a mile and a half which was a little further than yesterday. I am quite proud of myself. It feels going to be going out and walking as a means of getting a little bit of exercise in.

It was also another day at work for me and I stayed busy today. How was your day my dear world ? I hope that you got to enjoy your day. I do hope that you enjoy the rest of your week. I'll talk to you again soon.

Good night

A Small Step....An Accomplishment

Hello world

Good evening all !!!!!!! How is everyone today ?? I hope you are all well. Did anyone see our President Barack Obama's speech to the students ? I thought that he did a wonderful wonderful wonderful thing. I think that his speech was a great one and I am proud of him for speaking to the students about school and all. Great job Mr. President !!!!!!!!

Anywho....today started another week at work for me and it was a busy busy busy day. I have to say that I am proud of myself for a job well done as well. A little while ago I went to the park and walked ( 4 ) laps around the walking trail with my niece's and my father. Yes I walked a complete mile around a trail that they have the park near our house. I have to say that is an accomplishment is it not ??? I think that even a small step is a great one. It might be a small step but its still something.

So how are things in your neck of the woods ? I hope that you will all have a great week ahead and I will talk to you all again soon. I will have to cut back on the junk food eating such as the chips, cookies, ice cream, cake, soda pop drinking and other habits. I have gained a little weight recently.

Saturday's Scribbles....

Hello everyone

Good evening how is everyone today ? I hope you are all well. I hope you all liked my haircut. I am enjoying my short hair and everyone at my work likes it a lot. How are things in your part of the world ?

A little while ago my folks and I and my niece's went to eat at a place called "Simon's Steak and Seafood" which is located on 3529 Main St. in College Park, Ga. The food I have to say wasn't all that good. The french fries were good and the biscuits they had were good. My mom had the crab chowder with corn which she didn't like. My folks and I had the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich which didn't seem to have any flavor. I have to say that I would give them 2 stars** for the biscuits and fries and nothing else. The place wasn't even busy the whole time we were there.

After eating at Simon's Steak and Seafood we went to the grocery store and got some Angus Beef so we could make some hamburger patties that we are going to take to my cousin Aaron's place for Monday. He lives in Villa Rica, Georgia so we will be going to visit him.

All is well with me and my family. How are the rest of you ? I hope you are all doing well. Do keep me posted on what's going on in your part of the world. I'll talk to you again later.

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