A Friday Note

Hello dear world

Good-evening how are you ? I am fine thanks. It was a rather cool day in my neck of the woods. I wish it would go back to yesterday's temperatures preferably in the high 70's. Anywho...it was another day at work for me. Did I tell you dear world one of my coworkers had fell recently when she wasn't at work so she is home recovering from a few scrapes and bruises. Hopefully she will recover from her injuries soon. There is no need for her to come rushing back to work of course her getting well is more important. Luckily she didn't break any bones which was good news she is just a little banged up.

In other news I started reading Janet Evanovich's "One For The Money" which is a funny book. The main character Stephanie Plum is quite funny and the story keeps you reading. If you haven't read it you should go pick it up or get a friend to send it to you I suggest it highly.

Anywho....earlier this evening my family and I went to a restaurant called O'Charley's for dinner here is its link --- http://www.ocharleys.com/ . I had a Cedar-Planked Salmon w/Smashed Potatoes. I also ordered the Clam Chowder Soup for my mom with my order but I ended up giving it to my dad instead because he really wanted to taste it so we let him have it. He said it was great. I have to tell you dear world the cedar-planked salmon was delicious. It was even better with a little sprinkle of lemon juice. The smashed potatoes were also very good. O'Charley's you must know has some good, good, good, good food. I like going there with my family very much. One day I will have to go there and try one of their desserts. Their steaks aren't half bad either just in case you wanted to know.

I am sad to report that I went back to watching American Idol which was a mistake. I think that its wrong that the talented singers are being put off the show. I think that its a shame that the votes aren't recounted because they are losing quite a bit of the talent on the show.

I have a question dear world : Has anyone seen the new Avril Lavigne video "Girlfriend" ? Well I have to say that I was a fan of hers but in this song she is sounding too much like Paris Hilton in this one. I think she needs to go back to her angst filled songs. I am impressed with the new Hilary Duff in her new video "With Love" she has changed quite a bit. I like her new song and I definitely want to get her new CD.

I am quite happy to report that I got a letter in the mail from my friend Rebecca Anne today which was nice of her it was such a treat. I will be writing a letter to her of course just to let her know that I appreciated her kindness. Its nice getting a letter in the mail from a friend dear world.

How was your day ? How are things in your neck of the woods ? I hope that your day was a nice one. I will talk to you again soon. Take care everyone.

Byyyyyyye !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some Notes For Thursday

Hello my dear world

How are you today ? First I have a little sad news. Our dear friend Jeannette of Jeannette's Jottings is a little sick and she will have to have surgery soon. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers at this time. Hopefully she will make a quick recovery in her health and she will be back with us soon. WE LOVE YOU JEANNETTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In other news I am happy to report that it was another beautiful sunny day in Georgia it was in the 70's and it was lovely. Me and one of my female coworkers that I told you about we went out today to a store and shopped a little bit and then we went out again to get something to eat. We enjoyed the sunshine and we really didn't want to go back to work but we did. It felt like Summer instead of Spring and let me tell you I soaked up quite a bit of sunshine.

I also have to tell you that before arriving to work this morning I watched an animal rescue show on television here is a site for you to check out www.animalrescuetv.com/ . The program I watched was quite sad I must say. On the show one guy had actually shot his dog in the head with a gun, another owner had left his dog in a thich choke chain which had caused severe injury to the dog's neck. Also on the show an Animal Rescue Worker had to dig down under a huge mountain of dirt to get to a pipe in which a baby kitten had gotten stuck in. Inside of the pipe where the kitten was he had suffered from a lack of oxygen as well as having swallowed some of the dirt in the pipe which was sad because you could hear that the kitten was in distress. The program that comes on in the morning before I leave for work is often hard to watch because of how some of the animals are treated by their owners. On a bright side half of the dogs and cats and other animals are able to be helped by Vets and other assistants so they can be brought back to good health and adopted by loving families which is nice.

In other news....last night I helped my youngest niece with her Math homework. I have to admit that when I was in school Math was one of my worst subjects because I didn't like it. Math to me is yucky,yucky,yucky. I can't say that I like adding problems like 6 + 3 + 4 = or 7 + 4 + 8 = or 3 + 2 + 5 = or 7 + 1 + 9 = . I especially don't like word problems like :

If Train A leaves the train station at 8:10 a.m. will Train B which leaves the train station at the same time arrive at the train station tomorrow morning at the same time as Train A ?

Another word problem she had was :

Jake had 5 apples, Amy had 3 apples, Sam had 6 apples and Samantha had 2 apples. How many apples were there all together ?

I hate these kinds of problems most of all. I wish someone in the problem would have eaten all of the apples and that way I wouldn't have had to solve the problem. I really don't care if the trains ever arrive at the station and I don't care about how many apples there are because its just a problem that someone else is going to solve but I had to help my niece. Basically my dear world I hate Math and I wouldn't want to go back to school to do Math all over again. Me I just don't like Math of any kind. What do you think dear world ?

Anywho....how are things in your neck of the woods dear world ? How was your day ? I hope it was as nice as mine was. I am also excited to report that I received a package from a pen pal of mine that I come to know through letters we send eachother. It is so nice getting a little something I loved in the mail. All in all I just wanted to pop in and say hello to all of you. Take care my dear world and I will talk to you again soon.

Good-night !!!!!!!!

It was a splendidly beautiful day in my neck of the woods and I enjoyed it by going out with one of my female coworkers to a store to get something to eat.

Here is the poem for you to enjoy at your own leisure feel free to copy it if you wish.

Interlude

See how the sun

comes crawling

through the window,

like hungry bees

on a single sprig

of goldenrod.

A Few Notes

Hello dear world

How are you today ?? Today has been a rather cool day in my neck of the woods but you will be happy to know that today I got out of the house.

First my family and I went over to a store called Party City -----> http://www.partycity.com/ . I bought a few things such as different insects sealed in some wax to put on my keychain. One of the insects is a cockroach, another one is a wasp and the other one is a weird looking spider. You might not know this but I like weird things. I also bought some stickers and some gag gifts for my coworkers.

After Party City we went over to a store called "Seasonal Concepts". The store let me tell you has over the top prices. They are having a "Going Out Of Business" Sale. I bought an item for my mom's village which wasn't as expensive as the other items in the store.

Then we took a ride to the Dollar Store where I picked up some other kinds of stickers in which to decorate my handwritten journal/ diary. Here is a link ----> http://www.dollartree.com/ .

Lastly we then took a ride to a store called "Anna's Linen's". Let me tell you there was nothing in this store worth buying except towels and shower curtains and I'm not all that into buying towels and shower curtains. We just went in and looked around. Here is the link -----> http://www.annaslinens.com/ .

All in all it was a really nice outing with the family ? How has your Sunday been my dear world ? What have you been up to this weekend ? I hope you've had a really nice one.

By the way if you are looking for a good scare you might want to check out the Discovery Channel which has a program on called "A Haunting" you won't want to miss this show its bone chillingly scary. I watch it quite a lot. You might just get hooked into every single scary chill down your spine moment.

That's about it for me. I'll talk to you all later. Tomorrow starts another week at work for me so I'll let you know how it goes. Take care everyone.

Byyyyyyye !!!!!!!!

I'm home doing nothing

Hello dear world

How are you today ? I just had to pop in for a minute and say hi. So hi !!!!!!!!

Anywho....a few minutes ago I finished eating a plate of Spaghetti with fresh grated Parmesan Cheese which was good. Now I am eating a pack of Thin Mints Girl Scout Cookies which is my favorite of all the Girl Scout Cookies especially because they are chocolatey good. I was thinking that Thin Mints Girl Scout Cookies should be turned into an ice-cream what do you think dear world ? Yadda,yadda,yadda,blah,blah, blah there's nothing good coming on tonight so I will probably watch "The Lake House" tonight on DVD. Basically I'm home and so I thought I would come and talk to you and see how you all are doing.

I hope you all have a good night. Take care everyone.

Byyyyyyyyeeeee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
