WENT TO THE DOCTOR WITH MY MOTHER

Hello Dear World......

 

First of all how are you ? How was your day ? Mine began when I jumped out of bed forgetting that I had to take the day of of work to go to the doctor with my mother. That wasn't the end of my day however not in the least........I had one of those "Really wonderful beginning of the week" kind of day. By the day my mother is fine she just had to go for a regular check up but she needed someone to ride with her in the car so it wasn't nothing bad.

I do have some rather sad news that I heard from one of my friends who keeps a journal titled "My Everyday Life". Her name is Helen. Carlene who keeps a journal titled "HORSESHOE BEND" lost her husband. Please go and offer her some kind words that might help her get through this sad time. Her journal is as follows : "HORSESHOE BEND"

On a different note my mother and I took a little ride earlier today to uptown Atlanta which includes such places as "The Varsity", Centennial Olympic Park, The Martin Luther King Jr. Historic Site, Atlanta's Turner Baseball Field and a few other places just like those. Then we took a ride to her doctor which was a good visit for her regular check - up.

After her doctor we then went to a little store called "Woori Oriental Food Mart". While we were there I bought some oriental crackers which I had never tried before. The crackers were pretty good. My mother bought her some roasted seaweed and some oriental rice which she uses to make sushi rolls. I can't say that I am a fan of sushi but she enjoys it.

After that we went to a store called Hancock Fabrics which is a store me and my mother both enjoy. The store has things like yarn, buttons, fabric of course, scrapbooking materials, sewing kits and a variety of other things. You might say that Hancock's is a lot like JoAnn's which is just like it.

After all of that we went to lunch at the "Atlanta Bread Company". We both had sandwiches called California Avocado which were great. We chose different breads for our sandwiches. She had a soup with her sandwich and I had a bag of chips with mine. It was my first time having the California Avocado which I have to say I greatly enjoyed. The Atlanta Bread Company is a great place to go eat and hang out at.

My Sunday........

Hello Dear World.....

How was my day ? It was a rather quiet Sunday here at home in Atlanta, Georgia. A few minutes ago I had a taco for dinner. Do you like eating tacos dear world ? What do you like on your taco ? I am about to eat one of my favorite junk food items which is a Hershey's Milk Chocolate. As you already know I lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvve chocolate. Do you like chocolate too dear world ? What is your favorite piece of candy ?

On a different note I have been reading a journal titled "La Dolce Vita" which is written by a rather interesting lady named Iris. I really like her journal. She travels a lot and shares her travels in her journal. You can find her journal at " La Dolce Vita " ------> http://journals.aol.co.uk/irisclyde/LaDolceVita/ . You will enjoy reading about her travels as I do. Feel free to leave her a few comments or two. I'm sure she will like having a few more visitors to her journal so drop by and tell her hello. You can tell her I sent you.

On another different note I recently watched a movie titled "To Sir, With Love" starring Sidney Poitier. Sidney Poitier plays a character named Mark Thackeray who is an engineer who is asked to leave his engineering job. He later arrives to an East End school to teach a class which doesn't appreciate his arrival that is until they get to see how really great of a teacher he is with all that he teaches and does for his students. "To Sir, With Love" is one of my other favorite movies. You might want to go out and rent it and see it for yourself. I really find that it is one of the greatest movies Sidney Poitier ever made.

Here's a little note for you dear world about one of my favorite singers named Lisa Loeb. Lisa has a show on television called "#1 Single" which is a show about her experiences as a single woman. She is a very good singer and she's also quite funny. In her new show you see her experience her life as she tries to find what I call a "soul mate". I really like her new show as well as her music. You can check out her site at ---------------> www.lisaloeb.com/ . As you already know I am 29 years old and still single. I have not started dating yet but I would like to start dating. The thing is I haven't found anyone that would be interested in dating me. I have crushes on guys but I haven't gotten to the "I would like to date this person" part of my life but you never know. Yes dear world you never know.

So how was your Sunday dear world ? Tell me what you did today....Feel free to let me know what you will do once the week begins. I will be waiting to hear what you will be doing.

Anyway........I just thought I would come by and tell you a few things that I did today. I hope that you enjoy reading and will come back for another visit soon.

Take care dear world........good night

One Of Those Days........

Dear World.....

Tonight is one of those days......I'm feeling blah kind of days. I was reading a poem by Mattie Stepanek titled "Sour Milk Muscles" which was how I was feeling today. I thought I would share it with you dear world.

Sour Milk Muscles

Aching and burning

And aching and sore...

Sour milk muscles are

Hurting once more...

Tired and aching

And aching and tight....

Sour milk muscles

Are burning tonight....

Like too much of milk

Makes your stomach turn sick,

Like too much of stress

Makes your old ulcer tick,

Like too much of acid

Makes everything pain,

These sour milk muscles

Will drive me insane...

Aching and burning

And aching and sore.....

Sour milk muscles are

Hurting once more...

Tired and aching

And aching and tight...

My sour milk muscles

Have me crying tonight.....

Hello Dear World......

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.

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/

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

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
