A FUN NIGHT FOR ME.....IS IT 2007 YET ????

Hello dear world

How are you ??? I am doing quite well. Where should I start ??? With all of my news of my wonderful day perhaps ???? Yessssssss. First things first. For the record dear world tonight I had a really fun New Year's Eve with my family. It was raining in my neck of the woods but we had a blast together.

Earlier this evening me, my mom and dad and my nieces went to go see the movie "Night At The Museum" at a fun theater called Tinseltown which is located in my neck of the woods. The movie starred Ben Stiller who in my opinion deserves an academy award for the entire movie. The movie "Night At The Museum" was a very funny movie and my family agreed. It kept me laughing from start to finish. Ben Stiller is a very funny actor and he is quite talented. It was something to see when the animals in the museum came to life in the movie. The other actors in the movie were an added bonus to the movie. After seeing the movie I am going to make plans to go to the museum here in Georgia. Ben Stiller made the movie both entertaining and a must see movie. I am going to go buy it as soon as it hits DVD so my family and I can see it again.

After the movie my family and I went shopping at a store located near Tinseltown called Target. Going there is fun because there is lots to see and lots to buy as well. I purchased some cute stickers, a book my niece Jeanette wanted and I bought a book titled "Ready For Love" written by a writer named Debbie Macomber. It was fun going there especially with my family.

After we went shopping we then went for dinner at a great restaurant called "Joe's Crab Shack". Joe's Crab Shack has some of the best seafood in the world. I ordered a plate of Lobster & Parmesan Shrimp Pasta. The lobster and the Shrimp was pretty good. While we were there we sat next to a family in which one of the women at the table was celebrating her birthday. She was given a cowboy hat to wear by a guy that worked at Joe's. She also had to carry a broomstick with a horse's head on it. She then had to walk around the restaurant which was funny. The restaurant as well as her family sang "Happy Birthday" to her which was nice. As that went on I shared some of my food with my parents which they liked. Dinner was good and we had a good time while we were there.

Well my dear world how was your night ?? How are you celebrating New Year's Eve ??? What do you remember most about today ???

By the way is it 2007 yet ???????????

Byyyyyyyye

A Few Thoughts

Hello dear world

How are you ?? My friend Diane a.k.a. loststream asked me some questions that I wanted to answer not just for her but for all of you. If your reading this Diane I have to say you really got me thinking which is probably not a good thing....lol lol lol

Anyway.......one of Diane's questions to me are as follows:

> When did you begin writing ? Well as some of you might not know on Thursday July 1, 2004 it all began. I began writing here at J-Land when I was 28 years old. When it comes to my hand-written diary my writing began long before.

Why do you write in public now ? On August 21, 2004 I wrote that I realize that no one has come to read my diary. I didn't realize then that I would make friends with you my dear world my dear friends. I also wrote on July 1, 2004 that I wondered who would be interested in such thoughts as mine. Then one wonderful day Jeannette and you my dear friends opened your arms and welcomed me.

Diane also asks: Are your purposes of this public journal being fufilled ? Yes though I still don't see myself as a very interesting person

She also asks: Do I write to appease ( you ) my public readers ? Well I have to say that I feel that all of you have become friends and not just readers so I write because I want to share myself and my life with every single one of you.

Diane also recently commented that I seem far removed from my innermost thoughts and feelings that I hold in my heart and in my mind as I did when I first began my journal. I realize that I have drifted a bit from when I first began but I shall return little by little to where it all began on that Thursday I arrived at J-Land.

Let me rewind -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------< On July 2, 2004 I wrote "Maybe I'm from another planet like maybe the 3rd rock from the sun". I know that I'm not some alien from a distant planet. I am a human being who is trying to figure herself out a bit with no knowledge if I have learned anything if at all.

I have to admit that I'm still a pretty quiet person though I find that I talk to all of you more than I talk to anyone even now. Sometimes I may tell you more about what I watch or what I eat or where I have been but hopefully you all are getting a glimpse into who I am as a person.

My dear world she once wrote in a comment that reading my diary / journal is like reading a book....short chapters, funny tidbits, very emotionally entrancing and yes my dear Diane as you know from a photo of myself I sent you I am a real person. I think that I have changed but in some ways I haven't.

My dear dear friends....and you my dear friend Diane you understand my silliness, my daily goings on, my sudden burps or some would call them....mistakes. You understand when I'm a little so-so or if I'm just being ??? basically you keep with me through all of my ups, downs, twists and turns. Maybe one of these days I will have opened a door somewhere inside of me and you will be able to say "So that's where you've been all this time".

Yes my dear friends I'm still a little nuts but I know you will stick around because you my dear world are my cheering section so I shall continue on hopefully making you smile and being there for you. Have I answered any of your questions ????

Anywho......how are you these days ??? how is life treating you my dear world ?

Until we talk again....good-night and sweet dreams

 

My Day Before Christmas And My Christmas

Hello dear world

Since we didn't get a chance to talk yesterday let me wish all of my dear friends a very "MERRY CHRISTMAS" and a HAPPY NEW YEAR. How have I been doing ???? Its been quite cold here in my neck of the woods but I and my family are doing great. The day before Christmas me and my family went to Midnight Mass. Let me tell you the church was beautifully decorated from the ceiling to the floor. There was also a choir singing at the church and let me tell you they did a wonderful job of singing. After Midnight Mass we went to a Waffle House. You don't want me to tell you how our food was handled and how we will never be going there again. We also saw some very unusual people there that looked like they had come from some strange club. I guess at about 2:00 in the morning it was just about the time to be coming from parties, clubs and what have you.

Yesterday Christmas was wonderful in my neck of the woods. I got a nice pair of jeans and a new shirt to go with them. I also got a silver piggy bank, 2 packs of Dove Chocolates, a bracelet with pink flowers on it, a Mocha bath set but that's not all. Later in the evening my family and I went over to one of my cousins house. His name is Aaron and he has a wife named Kim. They have 4 kids named Matt, Erica, Ryan and Jacob did I tell you that ? Well we went down to his house in Villa Rica, Georgia to have Christmas dinner. His wife Kim by the way gave me a nice glass cup with a hot cocoa mix in it with some chocolate chip cookies to go with the hot cocoa mix. I really love the gifts I got. We spent the entire day together. You should meet my cousin Aaron he has a great sense of humor and he always manages to make me smile. You might also want to know that my mom gave me a Jeff Gordon Nascar throw from Avon as a Christmas gift which is one of my very favorite gifts. I didn't really ask for anything for Christmas so I certainly enjoy the fact that I got so much for Christmas. I wonder what Christmas will be like next year ?

Anyway.....later in the evening I watched "The Christmas Card" on the Hallmark channel and then I watched "A Boyfriend For Christmas" on the same channel. As you can tell I had a really great Christmas.

How was your Christmas dear world ???? What did you get for Christmas ??? Is is as cold in your neck of the woods as it is here in mine ??? Pretty soon it will be Valentines Day yuck, yuck, yuck............just kidding. So what will you be doing for Valentines Day ???? I hope you all had a great and memorable Christmas I sure did.

In other news today my morning began with a great breakfast of bacon, hashbrowns, eggs and biscuits. After breakfast my family and I went to a store called Kmart which is another great place to shop at in Georgia. I got the new Beyonce CD. My favorite song on her CD is "IRREPLACEABLE". I also bought my oldest niece a CD as well. I also purchased Jeff Gordon's Collectible Stock Car #24. As you might not know Jeff Gordon is my favorite NASCAR driver.

What were you up to today my dear world ??? Did you go out shopping anywhere today ??? I hope you are having a really nice day and that you know that I am thinking of all of you. I want to thank everyone for sending me a Christmas card it was nice of all of you to think of me. I hope that all of your Christmases will be just as wonderful as this one.

That's about it for now. I will talk to you again soon. (((((((((((HUGS))))))))) to all my friends at J-Land. Take care everyone.

Byyyyyyyye !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Norman Rockwell Would Be Proud

Hello dear world

Let me wish you all a very "Merry Christmas". How are all of you ? I doing very very very well this evening. Earlier I was reading the blog of one of my favorite singers John Mayer. Here is his link ------> http://www.johnmayer.com/blog . As I was reading his blog I came upon a few words of his I wanted to share with you as he wrote about adding another entry to his blog.... > here it is:

" You get that message from the inside that says "time to make another one." One day you're sitting around, living off the fat of the land, and then as if from out of nowhere, it taps you on the shoulder. The slate goes shiny and clean. Those colors come back - it all starts as colors - then moods, then settings, then sounds, then words . "

When I think about those words I have to say that I agree with him. I get a feeling when I start a new entry in my journal which brings me to my new entry. A few minutes ago I was making and decorating Christmas cookies with my nieces which was fun. I also danced with my oldest niece to some Christmas carols which would have made Norman Rockwell proud. We had quite a bit of fun this evening.

Tomorrow my youngest niece will be an angel in a Christmas play at our church. My mom is working on her outfit and I know that she will be very cute. I also will be going to a midnight mass that my church has every Christmas. I certainly can't wait to unwrap gifts and be with my family some more.

What will you be doing for Christmas my dear world ???? What will you be looking forward too ??? I do wish the very best to the troops in Iraq and to the families of those who have those serving in Iraq as well.

To the troops let me say to all of you "MERRY CHRISTMAS"

To you my dear friends good-night dear world !!!!!!!!!!!

Another Perfect Day

Hello dear world

Its nearly Christmas how are you ???? It sure feels like Christmas here in Georgia its getting pretty frosty. I am happy to report that I got some more Christmas presents. One of my other coworkers gave me a nice Winter scarf and a Winter cap to go with it. One of my other coworkers gave me a calendar which has some really nice designs on it.

Earlier this evening my mom, dad and I went to some of my favorite places. My nieces stayed home with their mother. Our first stop was to JoAnn's which was fun. I bought some more Christmas stickers,  a snowman ornament for our Christmas tree as well as some Eiffer Tower stickers as well as a Milk Chocolate scented candle.

After JoAnn's we then stopped off at Kohl's which was also fun. I found a nice pair of black jeans and a nice shirt to go with it. I also purchased an elephant candle that I have NEVER seen before. We will give it to my aunt for Christma.s

For dinner we went to a restaurant called "O"Charley's. I ordered some beer battered Onion Rings and a Flame Grilled Top Sirloin. The sirloin they brought me was dried out. The kitchen cooked me another one which was wonderfully juicy and tender.

So how was your day dear world ??? I guess we will talk again soon. Merry Christmas my dear world...
