A Perfect Day........

Hello Dear World......

Do you want to know what I did today ? You will never guess. Do you want to hear all the details.......are you waiting for me to tell you ? Are you on the edge of your seat ? You will never guess......What to hear all about it ? What to know ?

Well......

I'll keep you waiting for one more minute........

5....4....3....2....1

It all began early this morning at work. I had a conversation....I repeat I had a conversation with a guy that works at the same place I do in the very same building as I work as well. It was my first conversation with him. It was a hi, how are you doing ? How are things kind of conversation. The thing is he doesn't really know that I like him....actually I have something of a crush on him which he doesn't really know about. I usually start by telling him hello Mr. and his last name but today he told me he I could call him by his first name. I have never called him by his first name, never. Let me tell you dear world this guy is quite nice looking and he is the kind of guy any woman would get all crushed out on. He also has the most nicest smile you could ever imagine. I just thought I would share this latest piece of news with you.

Anyway....

On a different note I have been reading a journal titled "The Stupidsheet Guy" which also brought me to another journal titled "Letting It All Sink In". You might want to drop by and say hello.

Here's the link -----------> http://journals.aol.com/samnsmile5/LettingItAllSinkIn/

 

There is another journal titled "Chosen Words" which is written by a wonderful poet. His journal is filled with beautiful poems and amazing pictures. You will like this journal as I do.......

Here's a link-------> http://journals.aol.com/rbrimm/ChosenWords/

By the way did any of you catch American Idol tonight ? Well I did....Simon Cowell walked off the show at the last minute and went back to his hotel. He seemed rather mad. Half of the people had a lot of talent to become singers. I love to see what the judges say and to see who auditions on the show. Its one of my other favorite shows on television.

Do you have a favorite television program ? By now I'm sure your tired of me going on and on and on and on about this, that and the other so I will say -------> goodnight.

Sweet Dreams !!!!!

Just A Monday & West Wing

Good Evening Dear World........

Let me begin by saying that I am upset let me explain why. Today I got some rather sad news that my favorite television show "West Wing" will be ending on May 14th. You can check it out at ------------------------> www.nbc.com/The_West_Wing/ and www.bartlet4america.org . I watched the show from the very beginning of its first airing. I still watch the reruns like I have never seen the show before. I still can't believe the news. I am still a huge fan of the show. I lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve the show even now.

My other favorite show "Will & Grace" will air its series finale May 18th. However "West Wing" was my #1  favorite show of all time. I was one of those people that watched it like clock work. All of my favorite shows are going off the air what is going on ???

On a different note I have been thinking of my other favorite thing, Clouds. I am a huge fan of clouds. Warm summerlike days with a sky full of baby blue color and paper white clouds is my favorite thing to see. Two journals that I read have pictures of clouds in them. One is titled " By The Way" and the other is "My Everyday Life".

Check them out........

You will enjoy their pictures like I did.......Drop by and take a look at their journals and you will see them for yourself.

Question :

Do you like clouds dear world ?

That's about all for now........Good night and sweet dreams

A Little Of My Day......Nothing Ordinary

Hello World........

How are you ? Well I'm sure you were wondering what I've been up to lately. Let me tell you I have been hanging at the house, pretty boring huh ??? Earlier this evening I had dinner with the family. We had some chicken with some barbecue sauce my father bought at the grocery store. The name of this bar-b-cue sauce was "Montgomery Inn Barbecue Sauce". The guy who made it is named Ted Gregory or as he calls himself "The Ribs King". Written on the bottle was that this barbecue sauce is rather famous at a restaurant called "The Montgomery Inn Boathouse" Restaurant which is located on the northern shore of the Ohio river in Cincinnati. You can check it out at www.MontgomeryInn.com . My family and I agreed that this sauce could have stayed at the grocery store because it wasn't good at all. It had a sweet jelly taste to it and I don't think that's the way a good barbecue sauce should taste. I know what your thinking....I didn't like Emeril Lagasse's barbecue sauce and I didn't like this. Well I am just wondering if there is a cook out there who can make a good barbecue sauce at all. Is there anyone out there who can make a decent tasting barbecue sauce ???? I am doubtful seriously doubtful. Maybe I should become the new barbecue taste critic, now there's an idea don't you think ? All kidding aside this barbecue sauce was really lacking in what it was supposed to be..........Barbecue Sauce.

On a totally different note........I was a reading one of my favorite journals titled "The Hadonfield Myers Experience" which led me to another journal titled "Tiny Drop Big Ocean" --------> http://journals.aol.com/sierrajazz/TinyDropBigOcean/ .

I have another journal to share with you titled "Diary of a Mad Woman -----------> http://journals.aol.com/queenb8261/DiaryofaMadwoman/

I also came upon one titled "A not very good random snapshot of London Life..... --------------> http://justpointandpress.blogspot.com/

Check this one out as well titled "F-Stop" ---------------> http://f-stop2006.blogspot.com/

Here's another one you will enjoy titled "Front Doors" ---------------> http://frontdoors.blogspot.com/

Here's another that you will like ----------------> MY COUNTRY LIFE, Part 2 ---------------> http://journals.aol.com/mocephas57/MYCOUNTRYLIFEPart2/

Last but not least is another journal titled "Moonlight Drive" -------------> http://journals.aol.com/alphamoon65/MoonlightDrive/

There's another journal titled "AOL Journals: Magic Smoke" ------> http://journals.aol.com/journalseditor/magicsmoke/ that showed some rather interesting pictures of some clouds. I happen to like looking at clouds. Do you like looking at clouds dear world ? Drop by this journal and take a look at a few that I thought was interesting. Take a look at this site

www.inclouds.com/

Tell the keepers of these journals that I sent you. Leave them a comment or 2 and tell them what you think. I will talk to you again soon.............I will leave you with a poem written by Christine Bruun titled "Cloud Pictures"

Cloud Pictures

On summer days it's fun to sit

Beside a tree or under it,

And watch the clouds go drifting by,

Making pictures in the sky.

Once I saw a pirate ship.

The flag was flying high on it.

A rocket blasted off for Mars,

And race car drivers raced their cars.

A wicked witch flew over head.

Her broom and black cat gave me dread.

Seals and bears came into sight.

As cloud zoos float, a great delight !

A circus too, clowns and more !

From fluffy clouds that dip and soar,

On summer days as I sit by,

Under trees, and watch the sky.

-------------------------------------Christine Bruun

Good night and Sweet Dreams Dear World.........

Some News.........

Good Evening Dear World........

First things first how the heck are you ? How was your day ? It seems like its been forever and a day since we last talked. So here I am.......

Oh, oh, oh, where to begin ? where to begin ? Well let me start where my day first began at work. I work at a courthouse did I tell you that ?  I have a little alarming news.........At my job there was a security breach don't worry I am fine. Something went on in the building and so there is still some investigating going on so I will share the details with you soon.

Did I tell you that I live here in Clayton County Georgia .......here's a little background on it -------- > www.co.clayton.ga.us/

On a more different note..........One of my favorite movies came on the other day. The name of my favorite movie is "Dream For An Insomniac". Ione Skye, Jennifer Aniston, Mackenzie Astin, Leslie Stephens, Michael Sterk, Michael Landes, Seymour Cassel, Sean Blackman and other actors and actresses play in the movie.

The movie is set in San Francisco. Ione Skye plays an actress named Frankie who has spent much of her young-adult life living in an apartment of her Uncle Leo's played by Seymour Cassel. She works there as a waitress along with another character named Rob played by Michael Landes who plays her cousin. There they usually hang out with their friends who is a character named Juice played by Sean Blackman who happens to play a slacker and fellow would be star Allison played by Jennifer Aniston. Before spying beautiful, blue-eyed David played by Mackenzie Astin. Frankie refused to waste her time dating anyone "less than extraordinary". But the minute they meet, they begin exchanging literary quotes and from there it is love all the way, at least until Frankie learns that David has a girl friend. Adding another tension to the mix is Frankie's upcoming acting job, one that requires she move to LA.

I lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve this movie.....................I repeat................I lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve this movie its wonderful. If you haven't seen it I would definitely say you should go out and rent it and see it for yourself. This movie isperfect with popcorn and a perfect spot on the couch.

Here's another note for you to : I am catching up on my American Idol watching and let me tell you I am loving it mainly because of the judges. Some of these people I feel sorry for because they are being told that they have no talent. There was one guy on the show tonight named Ace and he got through to the next round. The thing is I thought he was rather terrible at singing. There was a 16 year old on the show who had a beautiful voice and I am glad she got picked to go through the next round.

The sad thing is I am waiting for my favorite show "Bones" to come back on next Wednesday.The wonderful Fox drama "Bones" is on Fox and let me tell you I love, love, love it.  My favorite part of the show is David Boreanaz. Any show or movie with him in it and I love to see it.

Here are a few of my favorite things :

Starbucks       

Krispy Kreme  

Barnes & Noble

My Sunday........

Hello Dear World.........

You will be glad to know that I survived last night's "BIG CHILL" so now you don't have to call the Emergency Rescue Squad. So now I can share with you what I did today.

On television I watched a show called "Wife Swap" which is a show where two wives get to swap lives for a while. Sometimes its funny and sometimes its downright sad. Then my family and I had dinner which was pieces of chicken. For the first time my mother purchased a bottle of Emeril Lagasse's "Sweet Original" Barbeque sauce. I hate to say it but my family and I agreed that his sauce was tasteless and we won't be trying any of his other sauces either. I was hoping that I was going to like his sauce because I watched his live cooking show on television. Trying his sauce makes me not want to watch his show anymore I'm sad to tell you. Anyway.......

On a different note at 9:00 p.m. I watched another movie called "Jesse Stone: Night Passage" with Tom Selleck. Mr. Selleck used to play on a show "Magnum P.I." He played a character named Thomas Magnum. You can find some information about him at ------------> www.tomselleck.tv-website.com/ . The movie "Jesse Stone: Night Passage" will be coming on weekly as he continues to play Jesse Stone who works as a Police Chief in a small New England town. Tom Selleck is as gorgeous as ever in my opinion.

Here's a little something else you might enjoy.........I know some journals you might find of interest : One is titled "Bee's Shutter" and the other is titled "Paragon". Please go check them out I know you will like them as I do.

Bee's Shutter -------------> http://journals.aol.com/redbaranjj/BeesShutter/

A Little Bit of Everything Friday.....

Good evening dear world.......

I know you have been wondering where I've been......well here I am. Today I worked from the beginning of my morning at work till it was time for me to get off. You can say that I certainly contributed to the "Gross National Product". Weather wise it was a rather gloomy and wet today here in Atlanta, Georgia. On the news it is predicted that tomorrow we will be waking up to snow flurries and a very cold day for which I say........BRRRRRRRRRRRRR !!!!!!!! although I would like to wake up to a little bit of snow on the ground even if its just little patches the size of cotton balls it will still be nice.

Earlier this afternoon one of my coworkers and I went to a great place called "Atlanta Bread Company". You can find it at --------> www.atlantabread.com/ . I had a tuna salad sandwich, some chips and a cheese croissant. I also bought a coffee famously known as a coffee mocha. At this local joint they have some great sandwiches such as : Panini Milano, or a Bella Basil Chicken Sandwich, or a Tangy Roast Beef Sandwich, or a California Avocado or a Hot Pastrami. They also have many specialty breads like that of : Asiago Cheese Strip, Rosemary Focaccia, French Baguette, Sourdough, Pumpernickel and many others. There a particular kind of drink there called a "Cafechillo". The various flavors are : Kona Mocha, Vanilla Latte or a Spiced Chai. I have to say that in my opinion the desserts and the coffee at the Atlanta Bread Company are the best. The chocolate chip cookies are my favorite of all. I can't wait to go back there. Its just one of those kind of places where you can go there, eat and hang out for as long as you want. With all the food served there its hard to choose just what you want or how much you can eat. All in all its a nice place to go.

After I got off of work my family and I went to dinner at a restaurant that I told you about before known as "La Parrilla". You can check it out at www.laparrilla.com . Its a very busy place lots of people like to go there and eat. The food there is not bad at all. I usually go for the Super Burrito. We usually end up waiting for a table but its nice to go there for dinner.

Anyway........After dinner we went out to a store called Marshalls. You can find it at www.marshallsonline.com/ . I did manage to find 2 shirts in the mens side of the store of course, some books which I will tell you about later. I also bought some journals since I also keep a few hand written journals so I can keep up with a few other things.

By now I'm sure your thinking all of that in one day.........YES all of that in one day. I'll fill you in on more later.

Good night dear world.........sleep well

By the way how was your day ????
