One Terrible, Horrible, Awful, Paint Me Blue Kind of Day.......

I don't know what to say but I have sad news..........I don't know if I told you but in my department at my job I work with 3 other women which are all older than me. One of my coworkers is named D____. We found out this morning that her husband died yesterday evening. He was sick for the last couple of weeks but he didn't want to go to the doctor. He died of a heart attack. She is taking it hard. She really loved her husband and the news hit her pretty hard. One of my other coworkers talked to her on the phone and she reported that she was upset over the phone. I'm sure that it will take time for her to get over this tragic loss. His funeral will be Monday and I will be going to it. So far this week there has been a lot of sad news and tears. This was an emotionally draining week for me. I don't know what next week will be like. I can tell you dear world that tonight my heart is heavy. It will be hard for me to go to another funeral after all that has happened this week. 

Dear world how do you get over a week like this ??? Do I have a right to feel this way ???? 

I hope you are well at least dear world. Take care and be well.  

Remembering

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

Did you miss me ? You were probably wondering where I've been. Do you remember my friend that I told you about that was killed recently. Well two days ago I attended her funeral at a church known as Divine Faith Baptist Church. It was a beautiful funeral but it was also sad. She had touched the lives of so many people outside of work. She also worked with young troubled teens and victims of domestic abuse. I didn't tell you how she was killed. She herself was also a victim of domestic abuse. I can say that she was a very friendly person to me and my coworkers. I can also say that she would stop whatever she was doing to ask me how I was feeling and then she would give me a hug. My coworkers also liked her as much as I did. There were quite a few people at the funeral including several law enforcement officials, the commissioner, the sheriff, friends of hers, family members and many, many others.  I can say that with my heart that she was one of those people that you are glad to have met . She always had a smile on her face and she always made you feel that you were the most important person in her life. I wish I would have told her that I liked her but she probably knows that. Now everytime I go past her desk I keep expecting to see her and to hear her voice. I will miss her for a long time to come.

On a more exciting note Spring has officially arrived here in my neck of the woods. The weather has been beautiful for several days now. Everything is blooming and the wind is warm. The only hard part about this weather is the pollen. Despite the pollen I am enjoying this weather.

I have to say that I missed chatting with you dear world. I can't wait to come and talk to you again soon..........Take care dear world.........Good-night.

Another Monday......

Hello Dear World......

Good evening and how are you today ? I am happy to report that we had our first nice bit of Spring weather here in Atlanta, Georgia YEAH !!!! Everything colorful is starting to bloom but the only problem with that is pollen but I love the colors that are starting to appear in the trees and in the flowers on the ground. It was a really beautiful day here in Georgia even though I had to work inside all day today. The sun came pouring in through the windows which warmed the entire building it was amazing......I hope tomorrow is just as nice.

On a even happier note today I watched a little bit of " XXX " with Vin Diesel. " XXX " is an action movie with the world's greatest looking guy in the world. He is also a terrific actor in such movies " The Fast and the Furious ", " The Pacifier " and many many more. He is about to star in another movie called " Find Me Guilty " which I can't wait to see it when it comes out in theaters.

In other news I read that baby animals are starting to be born over at Zoo Atlanta which is a fun place to go to here in my neck of the woods. I have been thinking that I might treat my family to the Zoo they have been talking about wanting to go to the Zoo. I am thinking that it would be nice to go to Zoo Atlanta over the weekend when the weather is nice just like it was today. You can find information about it at this link ------> www.zooatlanta.org . Where do you like to go in your neck of the woods dear world ?

In less happier news tragic events at the Fulton County Courthouse have affected where I work tremendously. Law enforcement officials have had to tighten security where I work. Many of the security enforcers have had to search for possible weapons that might be in the building where I work. If you haven't heard a guy by the name of Brian Nichols killed some people at the Fulton County Courthouse which he in turn fled from the police which turned into a full course manhunt. Of course he was found and he is in custody. His trial will be starting pretty soon. Its really hard having to walk through metal detectors and putting my bags and other stuff through an x-ray machine.I know that the searches are for security reasons but its still hard not to feel like you are the one who isn't being trusted simply to come to work. Its just amazingly hard and sad. Check out this link -----------> www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/03/14/atlanta.shooting/  this might give you a little background information.

My Saurday......

Hello Dear World....

How are you all ? Thank you for your many kind words. I am feeling much better thank you. Today I slept in late and got some rest which I think I needed. Once I got up and ate a little something my mother and I put together some orders from customers of hers who order Avon from her. My mother is a Avon representative here in Clayton County. I help her with Avon which is fun. I have become quite a customer of hers as well. After all of that I watched some television which included movies like Se7en with Brad Pitt. What happened to Brad Pitt ? I don't see him in movies anymore. After Se7en I watched another movie called " What Lies Beneath " with actor Harrison Ford. I have to say that the movie is -----------> haunting. As you watch the movie I find that I was either holding my breath or nearly jumping out of my skin. Have you seen any good movies lately dear world ?

I have also been finding some new journals which I didn't know about until now. The titles of these journals are " kab philosophies " which was chosen as guest editor for the week. This journal is quite a great pick. The other journal is titled " Ponderings of the Smartest Monkey ". With a title like that I had to check it out and I'm glad I did. Last but certainly not least is a journal titled " Old John's Memories " which is a rather interesting journal to read.

Here are the links ---------

Update.......

Hello Dear World......Good evening

For the last few days I have been really upset. The reason for my upset is that a woman that I knew at my work was killed recently. She was a really sweet lady with a big heart. She always took the time to stop whatever she was doing to ask me how I am doing and how am I feeling. I would walk into the office where she worked to complete my work and she would get up and come running up to me and she would hug me. She took the time to make conversation and she always had a beautiful smile on her face. A day never went by that she didn't talk to me about something which I really thought made her really sweet. She NEVER acted mean to anyone. People in the building are still shocked about the news. I walked past her desk today and expected to hear her voice like I did every morning. Its weird thinking that I will never see her again or get a chance to talk to her...........

She will be missed by me.........I hope she knows that. Dear world this has hit me hard......

Good night world.........

The Last Couple of Days........

Hello Dear World....

Did you miss me ??? Admit it you did.......ha, ha, ha, ha. I didn't get lost out in the world I have been doing a few things and I will explain........in a few minutes

are you ready ???

okay...............Here is my news. Work has kept me busy during the day. Work, work, work and work I'm sure you all know the feeling.

Anyway........For the last couple of nights I have been out with my mother and my aunt whose name is Marie who I adore........She is a lovely lady just like my mother. I am about to share with you a personal note.........We have been going to our church which is named St. Philip Benizi Catholic Church which is located in Jonesboro, Georgia. You can see it at this link ------------------> www.stphilipbenizi.org/ . These last few nights St.Philip has been celebrating the life of St. Anthony of Padua. The celebrations were nice. Tonight's mass was beautiful. At the end of the mass was a special blessing with oil for those who didn't receive it on one of the other nights.

After the mass and everything there was a reception in the mall which is held in a hall down from the church. They have had a reception in the hall for the last few nights during this St. Anthony celebration. Tonight I met a few people who I had never met before after mass in the lobby area and in the reception hall. All in all it was a beautiful night. The last thing I did after mass was I bought some medallions for my coworkers. Hopefully they will like the medallions I'm sure they will.

My church then gave away some of the bottles for us to take home in case we wanted to use it for relatives or loved ones who were sick and unable to attend mass which is nice. By the way dear world if you don't mind me asking........What is the name of your church ? Does your church have any special traditions you want to share with me ? I would like to hear about them all.

I have to tell you that it doesn't feel at all like Spring. It is still cold here in Georgia. I am beginning to wonder if its Spring. Maybe Spring decided to take a vacation and it didn't leave a note to explain its absence. Its that time for both Winter and bears to go into hibernation. I also wouldn't mind if Summer decided to arrive a little bit early this year. I wouldn't complain at all. How is the weather in your neck of the woods ? Are you looking for Spring too ?

One last question..........How has your week been ? I really hope your week has gone okay for you. Any plans for weekend ?? That's all for now................

Good-night.

One Of My Favorite Things....

Hello Dear World.....

How are you ? I have some rather not so great news. One of my very favorite shows " West Wing " will soon be ending which I have to say I am not taking the news well. " West Wing " was one of my most beloved shows by far. Some of my favorite characters were Charlie Young played by Dule Hill, C.J. Cregg played by Allison Janney, Josh Lyman played by Bradley Whitford and Donna Moss played by Janel Moloney and a few others which would take forever to mention......Here is the link -------------> www.nbc.com/The_West_Wing/ and www.nbc.com/The_West_Wing// . I even watched the reruns like I had never watched the show before. I can't believe that it is coming to an end. I watched " West Wing " from the moment it started. The show brought up a lot of issues I had never thought of before. I really got to like the show more and more as I watched it. It will be hard to see the last episode knowing I will never watch it again.

Did you ever watch West Wing dear world ??? if not what is your favorite show ?? Would you be sad to see it end ??

That's all for now dear world.........good-night
