Some News

Hello dear world

Monae's Log: 968275.1

In a galaxy far, far, far away the Star Trek Enterprise is being called out to Space once more on a mission..... as you can tell I am missing my dear friend Stevie's Star Trek entries so I thought I would make a little Star Trek log just for him.

In my other news my favorite show Bones was on tonight. I am really a huge fan of the show as you already know. I am happy to also report that my favorite X-Files guy David Duchovny will be directing an episode of Bones on December 13th I can't wait. I was a huge huge huge fan of the X-Files and of David Duchovny. Bones hasn't been on in a while and I was just about getting some withdrawal symptoms.

On a much more different note at about the end of December I will have reached my 3 year anniversary of being at my job. I can't believe that I will have been at my job for 3 years already. I have been keeping busy at work and my boss is pretty nice. All in all work is going fine.

So my dear world how was your day ? How is the weather in your neck of the woods ? I hope that your day was a nice one and that the rest of your week goes well.

Anyway...its getting pretty late so I will just say good-night.

Tuesday Morning Grind ( And I Don't Mean Coffee)

Hello dear world

How are you ? This entry is dedicated to you Bill.  In other news I hope you all enjoyed the pop quiz. The pop quiz was more of a thing to make you smile and a little something that might get you more in the spirit of the holidays. FYI: Did you know that The Christmas card was first posted in England in the 1840's ? I just thought you might want to know.

In other news did you see on You tube that a man went around walking with a FREE HUG sign ? Here is the video -------> http://youtube.com/watch?v=diccc7je8tg . Some people ignored him which is sad but some people actually took the time to stop and give him a hug. I would have liked to have hugged him I'm sure he was a pretty decent guy. I am sure he was also a very interesting guy. As I might not have told you I carry with me where ever I go a handwritten diary/journal so I may jot down thoughts and things that fill my head. I would have wanted that guy to jot some notes down in my diary/journal.

I have an idea dear world that I want to run by you. Whatever thoughts you might have you can post them in my comments section of my journal any thought at all what do you think ? You might want to share something that you heard, a joke, a word you learned or just something that strikes you is that a bad idea ? I wouldn't mind any of you sharing things with me. I share a lot of things and I never allow you to share things that happen to you. I think the comments section can be a little unfair because it just asks you to comment to what happened to me. So dear world go ahead and post something you haven't posted in my comment section before. Feel free to share it all if you like.

Anywho.........I wanted to share Bill's journal with you I hope he doesn't mind here is his link -------> http://journals.aol.com/wfhbear/Commentsontheeventsofmylife/ . Bill is a very interesting guy I have really enjoyed getting to meet him. I am sure you will enjoy getting to know him too. Go over and say hello.

I also wanted to share with you a journal titled Follow Your Dreams written by a wonderful young woman named Meg here is her link to her journal -------> http://journals.aol.com/megzie212/fyd/ . Her journal will certainly warm your heart. Go by and meet her for yourself you won't be sorry.

That's all I have for now. If there's anything you want me to know leave me a little note and I will try to get back with you. I will talk to you my dear dear dear dear friends later.

Good-night !!!!!!!!!!!!

Just A Few Thoughts

Hello dear world

How are you this evening/day ? I thought I would pop in and say hello to tell you about my day. First I have to admit that I slept in late this morning. I forgot to mention to you my dear friends that I have been off of work for the Thanksgiving holiday which I enjoyed with my family. Anyway......back to what I was saying. Early this morning I watched "The Lake House" again which is my very favorite movie to watch obviously. I have to say that I really like Keanu Reeves in the movie and its always a great movie to see early in the morning on the weekends.

I also have to tell you dear world that I am getting more and more into the spirit of the holidays. If I didn't tell you already my family's Christmas lights are up outside of our house but we haven't done any of our decorating inside yet but we are planning to soon. I am also enjoying seeing some of my favorite holiday movies on television like that of "In The Good Ole Summertime" (1949) with Judy Garland and Van Johnson. It is an old classic movie which puts me more and more in the spirits of the holidays. I also watched one of my other favorite movies "Bed Of Roses" with Christian Slater which is another holiday classic. I so LOVVVVVVVE this time of year especially seeing stores and their shelves crammed full of Christmas goodies and decorations. I also love hearing Christmas carols on the radio.

In other news.....I was checking my mail today and I saw that a sweet lady named Judy left a really sweet comment in my journal. First I would like to say thank you to Judy for her kind words. Though I have to say that I am sad to report that I haven't tried out my chocolate fondue pot yet. I will be tearing open its box on Christmas and trying out a few things. I will definitely get out to the grocery store and get some pound cake, some strawberries, some cantaloupe and some other sweets to put into my pot for a dessert treat I can't wait dear world. It would be nice to have some wonderful friends like you my dear world to join me and my family for the holidays to have some of the chocolate. I also can't wait to send out all of my Christmas cards to those of you who I have already mailed out cards to during Thanksgiving and those of you who have been added to my list. I will be getting them out soon.

I also wanted to thank all of you for your wonderful ideas about what I should ask for Christmas. All of your suggestions gave me tons of ideas. I will give all of your ideas some thought to that one particular thing. THANK YOU ALL !!!!!!!!

Enough of me rattling on and on with my day how are you dear world ? What will your Christmas be like ? Do you have plans of going out of town to visit family and friends ? What are you looking forward to this Christmas ? I am hoping that your Christmas is wonderful and quite memorable. I will be thinking of you all and wishing you a very "Merry Christmas".

Last but not least.......any plans for New Year's ?????

That's all for now. Good-night my dear dear dear dear dear world.

Sweet Dreams !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question.....Dear World

Hello dear world

How are you ? I am in need of your help do not be alarmed I am fine. The reason why I need your help is that someone asked me the question: What do you want for Christmas ? The question puzzled me greatly. I'm NOT at all sure what I want for Christmas.

I know most people could tell you exactly what they would like for Christmas but I don't really know. Most women would say they want jewelry, shoes, clothes or perhaps some kind of household appliance. I could say that I want a cellphone but the thing is nobody really calls me all that much so I wouldn't have a need for a cellphone. I could ask for a couple of nice dress pants and some jeans but I don't like going to stores and trying on pants. Asking yourself what you want for Christmas is a daunting task to say the least.

So my dear world I am going to set the daunting task at your feet. Before Christmas starts getting any closer I would like a few suggestions from you my dear friends. What should I ask for this Christmas ? Since you have gotten to know me what do you think I should say I want ? Any ideas ????

Anyway......I also wanted to ask you. What do you want for Christmas my dear world ? What is the one top thing on your list ? I haven't made a Christmas list in quite some time. What would you like as a Christmas present ? I hope you don't mind me asking. What would you say is the one thing you have seen in a store or online you really really like ?

Okay...okay....okay....I'm sure your ready to tell me that I have asked enough questions already. I hope that your Sunday is a nice one. I know that I have kept you long enough so I'll let you get back to what you were doing.

P.S. If your reading this Diane a.k.a loststream I have a little question to ask you.

That's all for now.Take care everyone. Sweet Dreams.

Today Was A Good Day

Hello dear world.......

Season's Greetings !!!!!!!!!! 

How are you ? I don't know where to begin but I have great news. Oh where to start ???? where to start ???? I guess at the beginning.

Early this morning my mom, my oldest niece and I did a little holiday shopping at Kohl's. Here is the link for the store ----->  http://www.kohls.com/ . Let me tell you the line for kohl's was the length of an adult anaconda. While I was there I bought ( 2 ) Jeff Gordon NASCAR ornaments. I am a huge huge huge fan of Jeff's. I think he is a great race car driver and I also think he is quite nice looking. I also bought some Christmas cards and some candles. One of the candles I bought is a caramel flan candle, the other one is a sugar cookie candle and the other is a fresh roast coffee candle and the last one is a chewy chocolate chip cookie candle doesn't that just sound delicious ? You could practically eat them. While I was also at Kohl's I also bought a chocolate fondue pot. As you already know I love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love chocolate. I'm going to enjoy using it for Christmas. I also wanted to share with you some of Jeff Gordon here is the link -----> http://www.jeffgordon.com/ .

After Kohl's we went to the Atlanta Bread Company which is one of my favorite places to eat. Here is the link for it --------> http://www.atlantabread.com/ . I had a hot pastrami sandwich which was pretty good. I also bought a Mocha muffin which was also pretty good.

After the Atlanta Bread Company we went over to a place called Rack Room Shoes. Here is the link if you would also like to see it ------> http://www.rackroomshoes.com/ . I wasn't planning on buying any shoes at all but I saw a young woman trying on some shoes which I liked. The shoes are called Rocket Dog's which I have fallen in love with. I also bought my youngest niece some boots there for Christmas.

After the shoe store we took a ride over to Toys "R" Us. I didn't buy anything there but my mom did buy some things for Christmas for our young nieces and nephews in our family.

Last but not least a few hours ago we returned home after shopping at a place we shop at called Kmart. Here is a link if you would like to see it --------> http://www.kmart.com/ . I did a little more shopping there. I bought some things for my nieces that they like. I also bought the new Justin Timberlake CD which I have wanted. I also bought a Christmas CD by Aaron Neville who I like listening to. Here is his site if you have never heard his music ----------> http://www.aaronneville.com/ . There is nothing like listening to Aaron Neville sing Christmas songs during this time of year. While I was at Kmart I also bought some Hershey's Kisses to put in my fondue pot. Let me tell you dear world I can't wait to use my chocolate fondue pot. I am so looking forward to this Christmas.

All in all I had a really fun busy day. So my dear world how was your day ? Have you started any of your Christmas shopping yet ? I hope that you will have a very great Christmas filled with lots of memories. I shall be sending out my Christmas cards soon so those of you who I have sent other cards to be looking in your mailboxes soon for more to come.

That's all for now dear world. I shall talk to you again soon. I will more than likely have lots more to tell you. I shall return with more and more news so this shall be continued.

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

Happy Thanksgiving !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello dear world

First let me say "Happy Thanksgiving" to you all. I hope your Thanksgiving was a nice one. My day began as I got ready for Church. Before we left we left for Church my family and I taped the "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" on television here is a link -----> http://www.macys.com/campaign/parade/parade.jsp then we left for Church.

After we went to Church at St. Phillip Benizi we then went to breakfast. After breakfast we got home and my folks got some of the food ready for us to eat. I of course didn't do much cooking though I helped getting stuff to the table without incident. Our Thanksgiving meal consisted of the Turkey, yams, peas, stuffing, mashed potatoes with a side of gravy and dinner rolls. We had enough food to feed 6 different neighborhoods and a few countries. Yes our meal was quite good to say the least.

While getting our meal together we watched the "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" that we taped which was nice. The costumes I didn't think were all that cute but they were okay. I did like the floats, the balloons and the people who sang at the parade. My oldest niece liked hearing Chris Brown sing she is a fan of his.

Anyway.....after we eat our meal I went and watched some of my favorite shows like the "West Minster Kennel Club Best In Show" on television" here is a link to it -----> http://www.westminsterkennelclub.org/ . Do you ever watch that ? I think its quite interesting to watch ? I really am a fan of it. I just thought I would share that with you.

I also thought that I would tell you that I started reading Meredith Vieira's blog online. Meredith was once on "THE VIEW". I really liked reading her blog if you would like to read it here is her link ------> http://meredithtoday.ivillage.com/entertainment . Tell me what you think of it.

All in all how was your Thanksgiving ?? I hope it was as nice as mine. I had a really great day with my family. I can't wait until Christmas. Do you want to know what I'm grateful for dear world ? Both of my nieces of course they are as cute as they have ever been and my family. I am also grateful for you my dear world for always listening and for being here so thanks.

Have a great holiday everyone !!!!!!!!!!!! Take care.
