Hello everyone
Good evening to you all. I hope everyone is well. I was reading a blog called "Provocation of Mind" which is a favorite of mine here is the link ----> http://www.provocationofmind.com/ . The blog got me to thinking about sharing a few thoughts with you. I'm NOT sure anyone will read this or find it at all interesting but here it goes.
I have been doing some book reading lately. As some of you may know I like to read books and I like to find different books. I got to thinking about favorites....books and writers that is. Some of you may say that Hemmingway or Faulkner or Thoreau is a favorite writer but to me my favorites have been : Nora Roberts, Tami Hoag, Danielle Steel, Debbie Macomber, Sherryl Woods and a few others.
What is it about a favorite book or writer ? In my opinion its a story about a person, a place, an adventure, travels, friendships formed and perhaps....finding love. Some may say that its about a certain subject like cooking, a courtroom drama, a topic to research but to me its always about what interests me.
I find a certain person in a book that I either find smart or a guy that I instantly fall in love with or a place that I have always wanted to travel to. Sometimes I find that I get lost in a person's life and what he/she is going through. Sometimes its just about two people meeting for the very first time and falling in love or just sharing a friendship.
I don't know to me favorites always......remain. A favorite is always a book that I find that I can't wait to read the pages and fall into a story that I never want to end. Isn't it something to find a favorite ???
Isn't it something ???

Surprise....Its Me
Hello dear world
Good evening everyone !!!!!!! You have probably been worried sick about me since I haven't been around in a while and let me tell you its been a long couple of days.
First it rained a lot in my neck of the woods of Atlanta, Georgia. It rained and rained and rained and yes....rained. Anywho I have been busy busy busy busy at work and I have been busy with my family as well.
Last night I treated my mom to a early Mother's Day dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse and my father and my niece's were with us. Our dinner was quite good. My and my mom had the Outlaw Ribeye which was quite good and juicy. I also had a caesar salad for dinner. My dad had a filet with a lobster tail. My niece's also enjoyed their dinner.
Before we went to dinner we stopped off at Hancock Fabric where I got some sticker's for my youngest niece and some stickers that I wanted. I also bought some milk chocolate's and a milk chocolate gold bunny from Lindt. I also bought some Lindor truffle's.
We got home in time to see my show "BONES" on Fox which is my favorite television show. Here is the link ----> http://www.fox.com/bones/
Today of course was another day at work for me. There is a guy at work that I am starting to like which he doesn't know. He and I haven't talked until today I made him laugh and smile. I think that he is such a nice looking guy. He just started at our work and I think that I can't wait to get to talk to him again soon. He seems to be a pretty nice guy and I don't know what he thinks about me yet. I will let you know more about him later.
Earlier this evening my mom and I and my niece's went to Blockbuster Video and we all ended up getting some movie's. My mom and I picked out a movie called "NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH" with Matt Dillon which I must tell you is a very very very good movie. She liked it and so did I. I highly recommend the movie as a must see movie. The twist of the movie comes at the very end and it will leave you surprised and shocked. I will tell you about the other movie's later.
So my dear world how was your week ??? Did you miss me any ??? I do hope that all is well in your neck of the woods. I am hoping that you will have a great weekend ahead.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you mother's !!!!!!!!!!!
Take care all !!!!!!!!!!

New Update.....
Hello everyone
Good evening everyone !!!!!! Let me begin by saying that the weather today in Atlanta, Georgia was quite nice and I am enjoying it. Today started another week for me at work. I had to skip work this morning to go to a Tri-Annual Training Sexual Harrassment class which we have to do every 3 months. I completed my training at the Atlanta Beach with some other people from different departments that had to take the class as well. I won't have to do the class for another 3 months. The class started at 8:30 am and it ended about 10:30 later on in the morning. I am done for the time being in my training.
In other news I started reading another book by Danielle Steel called "The Ghost" and I have to say that I am enjoying it immensely. In the book there is a man named Charlie Waterston who has had to find out that his wife is cheating on him with another man. His ten-year marriage has ended and he has also lost his home with his wife and his job in Europe which he loved a great deal.
I am really liking Charlie in the book and I think that the woman he married is crazy for having cheated on such a great guy. I am finding that I am enjoying getting to know Charlie and I can't wait to find out what happens next in the book. I highly recommend this book and I have to say that the book is definitely worth reading.
Anywho......how was your day my dear world ??? I do hope that you had a really nice Monday.
Question : What do you think about this Swine Flu ???? Any thoughts
Take care everyone

A Wonderful Day....And Shopping
Hello everyone
Good evening all !!!!!!! How is everyone today ? I hope you are all well. I must say that I had a wonderful day today. The weather was extremely perfect and it was warm in my neck of the woods.
Today my nieces stayed home with their mom while my folks and I went to a store we enjoy called the Dekalb Farmer's Market here is the link ----> http://www.dekalbfarmersmarket.com/ . The store is a place with food and people from all over the world. I ended up getting my favorite food in the whole wide world which is soft shelled crab which my mom got me hooked on eating. I bought 9 of them today and my mom fried them and we ate them all. I also got some different bread that I have never had before. It is called Challah Loaf and it is indeed very good. I also tried some samples in the market. One of the samples I had was NOT very good. I also bought some goat cheese with sundried tomatoes in it with basil and I got some crawfish and some deli Kraut that I like. I also got some desserts from the bakery. From the bakery I bought for the very first time some chocolate gelato from Italy and it was very good. I ended up buying some cartons of gelato from a company called "Ciao Bella" which are Mango sorbet gelato and some chocolate gelato. They have wine's there from all over the world including wine from Spain, New Zealand, France and other countries that I have NEVER been to. My dad ended up getting some wine called "Walking Barefoot" can you imagine ?? The market is filled with meats and fish from all over and the place is huge and I lovvvvvvvvvvvvvve it.
So how was your day my dear world ???? Did you go out and do any shopping like I did ? I do hope that you got to enjoy your day. My day was a blast. Do enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Take care

A Wonderful Birthday....
Hello everyone
Good evening all !!!!!!!! I wanted to come by and tell you that I had a really nice birthday with my family. My folks and I and my nieces went to a place called "KiKu Japanese Steak and Seafood House" here is the link ----> http://www.kikujapanese.com/ . The food was really really good. I ended up ordering the shrimp and fresh alaskan salmon which I enjoyed. I also had the fried rice which was really good. The cook prepared the food at the table which was nice. My dad treated me for my birthday which was nice.
After dinner we went to JoAnn's where I bought my youngest niece some stickers and some for myself. I spent the rest of the evening there until it closed which was fun. We got home pretty late and I had to get up for work in the morning.
Today of course was another day at work for me. My work has been pretty pretty busy. They are cutting our budget and our supplies which is a mess in itself. The weather in my neck of the woods was really nice though which I enjoyed. My coworker's are planning a day when they will take me out to lunch soon as a way to celebrate my birthday.
At the moment I am reading a great book titled "Summer Breeze" by the writer Catherine Anderson which I think is really really good. I will have to let you know how it is.
I am waiting for the movie "New Moon" to come out. I can't wait to see it. I have read a lot of Stephenie Meyer's books and I have really enjoyed them a great deal. I also like the movie "Twilight".
On a different note my ex has been calling and wanting to see me. Today at the store I bought a break up card and I decided I would send him the card and break up with him for good. I hate to break his heart but I just don't share the feelings he has for me. I do hope that he will be able to find someone else and be happy with that person. I do wish him all the best but I just hope that my breaking up with him won't be too hard on him. I am going to mail the card tomorrow.
Anywho......how are things with you my dear world ??? I do hope that all is well in your part of the world. I hope to hear all of your news. Do take care everyone
Bye for now

Update....
Hello everyone
Good evening everyone !!!!!!! It was another day of work for me today. At the moment I am reading "new moon" by Stephenie Meyer. In the book Edward Cullen leaves Bella. Bella later on goes to find Edward and she finds him.
I do have to tell you all that yes"TOMORROW IS MY BIRTHDAY" and I will be 33 years old.
On a more sad note an 11-year-old named Jaheem Herrera committed suicide Thursday after according to his family relentless bullying at his school Dunaire Elementary School. Herrera's stepfather Norman Keene said the family has received overwhelming support from people in the community about the tragic death of Jaheem.
Jaheem's body was discovered by his 10-year-old sister Yerralis who is also a fifth grader. His family said that he was bullied relentlessly. The family reported that they knew that he was target of bullies but until his death they did NOT understand the scope of the bullying. His sister witnessed much of the bullying and many times rose to her brother's defense.
In an interview with WSB-TV Masika Bermudez also said that her son was being bullied at school. She said that she had complained to the school. Bermudez told WSB she talked to Jaheem's best friend about the situation last week. "He said, "Yes ma'am. He had told her that he was tired of everybody always messing with him in school. He was tired of telling teachers and the staff about what was going on. "They never did anything about the problem".
Earlier this month the suicide of a Massachusetts boy, Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover who suffered taunts that he was gay attracted national attention. He was also 11 years old. His mother also reported that he committed suicide in the family's home.
Jaheem was excelling academically and adapting to his new home. The family moved to the Avondale Estates area less than a year ago from St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. Last winter his grandmother died from Cancer. She was living with the family at the time. His grandfather returned to St. Croix after his wife's passing. He is taking Jaheem's death especially hard. The family has planned a trip home in June. They'll be returning next Monday instead to bury their 11-year-old son.
A candlelight vigil will be held for Jaheem in memorial. I think that its sad that the 11 year old is gone. I'm sure that his family will NEVER be the same. I wish I could meet his folks and to offer them my condolences on their loss. Those who teased him and picked on him should be ashamed of their behavior. I do hope that there will be an anti-bullying program set up at this school in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening in the future.
So my dear world how has your week gone ? I do hope that all is well in your neck of the woods. I would like to say thank you all for visiting and I hope that you all feel free to drop in anytime and say hello to me. Also you may feel free to leave me any questions, comments and thoughts in my post.
Take care everyone.
