Just A Little Note........

Hello Dear World......

Today was a rather cold, dark, wet day. It almost felt like it was going to snow which made me think of the poem "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening" which is a poem that was written by the poet Robert Frost. If you don't mind dear world I thought that I would share the poem with you so I could share a little bit of my day with you.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village, though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

 

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound's the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

 

Robert Frost 1923

So how was your day ?

Good night dear world.....

Another Day.......

Hello dear world......

Today my parents and I went to Midtown Atlanta for a little outing. We went to a little photo shop for some light sensitive paper and let me tell you the explanation one of the workers gave us was way too technical for explanation. After the photo shop we took a ride down to the Varsity which is a great place to eat here in Atlanta. Check it out at www.thevarsity.com you can get some great chili cheese dogs and onion rings and a very delicious orange drink that will have you coming back for more. I love the Varsity everytime we go to Midtown Atlanta we always stop there for a bite to eat. Later in the evening we stopped off at Kmart for a few items. I bought two CD's. One of my CD's was by Lisa Marie Presley and the other was by Harry Connick Jr.

If I didn't tell you already my favorite singer is Harry Connick Jr. The CD was titled "When My Heart Finds Christmas." I love his christmas songs because he has such a wonderful voice its amazing. I just like hearing him sing don't ask me why I just do.

I also bought some books. I am a huge book reader did I tell you that ? I love to read its a hobby of mine. I will probably end up with my own bookstore with the amount of books I read.

On a different note its 28 days until Christmas and I have NOT started any of my Christmas shopping at least not for anyone except myself. I will start my Christmas shopping soon I just have been more into shopping for myself which I know is bad but I just thought I would buy a few items I like.

What do you want for Christmas dear world ?  What is the one thing you want the most ? I hope you don't mind me asking I just thought I would ask.

For now good night and thanks for listening to me. We'll talk later..........

Feeling Good !!!!

Hello Dear World......Good Evening

It might be obvious but I am feeling rather great let me explain. The Christmas Tree isn't up yet but about an hour ago I was watching my favorite channel on television which is the TCM channel otherwise known as the "Turner Classic Movies" channel. One of my favorite movies was on called "A Christmas Carol" it was the older version which was made in 1938. During the movie I drank a hot cup of eggnog which I sprinkled with nutmeg on top. The movie and the eggnog got me really longing for Christmas. I can't wait for Christmas !!!! Its time for putting up the tree, decorating it, singing Christmas carols and watching some great holiday movies such as the one I watched tonight.

Earlier in the day I went to the mall which is always fun to do. Being that it was the day after Thanksgiving the mall was flooded with people shopping for the upcoming holidays. I can't say that I did any shopping though. Macy's which is a store in the mall had up some Christmas trees which were filled with all kinds of ornaments and glittery beaded strings which sparkled with a variety of color. The trees were also decorated with tons of Christmas lights which I like the most.

I just wanted to say that I really, really enjoy this time of year and I am longing for Christmas.........Now I have a question what is your favorite part of the holidays dear world ?

 

For now good night dear world.....I would also like to wish each and every one of you a ..............

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving Dear World........

I have something new to share.........My Thanksgiving was a wonderful one. I actually cooked my first Thanksgiving dinner. My turkey came out perfectly and well cooked. I also made a dish of pasta with garlic and olive oil, stuffing with celery, parsley and bread crumbs. On one side of my stuffing was made without oysters since I don't like oysters and the other side was made with oysters which my parents like. Last but not least I made a pan of really rich fudge which came out creamy and melt in your mouth. Once our Thanksgiving dinner was on the table me, my parents and my two nieces sat down and we had a really memorable Thanksgiving that could only be described in one word.........perfect. I actually cooked but the thing is I still can't believe it myself.

On the same note I hope you my dear world had a wonderful Thanksgiving . Did everyone have as great a Thanksgiving as I had ? By the way what did you like most about your Thanksgiving ?

All in all I just wanted to wish a "HAPPY THANKSGIVING" to you dear world and a very nice holiday.......

Good night dear world and of course sweet dreams everyone..........take care

My Day........

Hello Dear World.......

How was my day you might ask ? Well as you can tell it was great. Actually I had a normal day. All of the Thanksgiving grocery shopping is officially done. Me and my mom headed out to Kroger and got everything there is to get for the holiday. We bought Cranberry sauce, stuffing mix, gravy,eggs and the biggest turkey you could ever imagine. How big is the turkey you might be wondering........well you might say the size of a small child. We also purchased egg nog, vegetables, whipped cream and much much more.

Want to hear how much the bill came up to..........If your guessing $50.00 well guess higher.....$100.00 not even close. We spent the total of an amount that hit over $200.00 too high you might say. Well we spent half the day in the store going through every aisle picking up things we have never tried before and stuck the items in the cart. We had a blast and the store was filled with people. I just picked up things that I saw and thought I would like and placed them in the basket. Me and my mom joked around and played like we were big spenders. I'm sure by the end of Thanksgiving we will have more leftovers than we could ever imagine but it will be great.

Could there be anything more normal than grocery shopping? By the way have you finished any of your holiday shopping ? and can I ask you about what is the one thing you like most about the holidays dear world ? If you also mind me asking do you happen to also celebrate Thanksgiving ? Or are you already thinking about Christmas ? By the way have you also done any shopping for Christmas ? Last but not least I'm wondering what will you be doing for the holidays ?

All in all I would just like to say to you dear world.........HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM MY FAMILY TO YOURS !!!!!!!!!

Good night and HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!!!!!!!! 

Sad news.......

Good evening dear world.....

I have some sad news to share. Someone that I knew had a heart attack at work a dear sweet guy. We had talked earlier and he patted me on the back and asked me how I was doing. My co-workers and I knew him quite well. It all began when we were asked by the emergency crew to step off the elevator so they could get him on the elevator with the stretcher. They were trying to revive him but they said that he didn't have much of a pulse.

Later in the day we found out from a lady who works in the building that he had died from the heart attack. His wife also worked in the building and she had been with him a few minutes before he hit the floor. He was a really sweet guy and he NEVER had a unpleasant thing to say. It still seems hard to believe that he's gone.

The last thing that he said to me was "I will see you later". I really liked him he was the nicest person you were to ever meet. This has really shook me up I still can't get over feeling bad. The truth is I'm heart broken and no one can ever make it right. 

I hope he knows that he was loved by us all. I will miss talking to him and seeing him. Chatting with him was a part of my day and now he won't be there to talk to. 

How do you get over something like this dear world ???

It feels like I have been gone forever I missed you all more than you know. Its good to be back and writing again.
