HUGH GRANT FOR PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.

Hello dear world

Top of the afternoon to you. How are you ? Well I am doing really well. Its another lovely warm day in my neck of the woods. You might want to know that late last night the sky opened up and an ocean of rain came. I had almost forgot what rain looked like so it was nice to get a little reminder. We got some thunder, the lights went off and on and then.....the flood. You will be happy to know that I survived the flood so there's no need to call out the National Guard to come look for me.

Anywho....earlier today I watched a very funny movie called "About A Boy" with Hugh Grant. I really enjoyed the movie and I thought that Hugh Grant made it a really wonderful movie. Here is the link -------> http://www.about-a-boy.com/ .

After the movie I watched another great movie called "Love Actually" which was another movie with Hugh Grant. I have to say that I not only enjoyed seeing Liam Neeson but I loved Hugh Grant in the movie as well. Here is the link ----> http://www.loveactually.com/ .

Then after "Love Actually" I watched another movie called "Notting Hill" the one with Hugh Grant in it of course. Here is the link --------> http://www.notting-hill.com/ .

Question dear world : If Hugh Grant can't be British Prime Minister why can't he run for President. I would like to nominate Hugh Grant for President of the United States. I think that would be something to see. We need a nice looking British President don't you think ???? Of course I would also like to nominate Sean Connery for Vice-President.

So my dear world how are things in your neck of the woods ? How has your Saturday been ? I hope you are having a lovely day.

Here's a note for you. My oldest niece Jeanette is making her Confirmation tomorrow at our Church. I just wanted to share that with you.

Well I am going to be shoving off now. I'll talk to you later. Cheerio !!!!!!!

Dippin' Dots And Some Cheese Filling Information

Hello dear world

First things first how are you ? I hope you are doing quite well. I am happy to report with tons of enthusiasm that it was a wonderful 84 degrees in my neck of the woods and it was a beautiful beautiful day. It was hard being indoors at work but me and two of my coworkers went out for a bit to the store so we got to soak up a little bit of sunshine.

Anywho my dear world.....I have a question for you ? Have you ever tried Dippin' Dots ? Well I have. Today at the store I bought some Cookies 'n'Cream Dippin Dots. Here is a website for you to check out some information on ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dippin'_Dots . I have to say that the Dippin Dots I bought were really quite good. If you ever see them at your grocery store you should pick up a box. I higly recommend them.

On a different note I found out that there is a place where you see tons of Cheese online. There is a site called the "West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers". If your a lover of cheese and you would like to view it.......here is a link for you -----> http://www.cheddarvision.tv/ . You will also find lots of information about the cheesemakers on the site.

Notes For Monday

Hello dear world

How are you ? First let me say that I am happy to report that the weather was nice today it behaved really well today. It was a wonderful 73 degrees in my neck of the woods.

You might also want to know that today was the beginning to a whole new week for me at work which was nice. One of my coworkers brought in some bread she had made at home to work which I have to say was rather good. The bread had a very sweet taste to it and the crust on the bread was coated with a Cinnamon sugar to give it a little crunch to it. I really liked the bread she made. The only part that I didn't like was that it had raisins in it but all in all it was quite a tasty snack. You might also want to know that I did eat a few slices of it including one slice with a cup of chocolate ice cream that I bought at the store. Yes my dear world the bread with the ice cream was perfect.

On a more sad note I have rather upsetting news to report. I read in the newspaper today that Palestinian militants opened fire near a children's festival at a U.N. operated elementary school in the Southern Gaza Strip on Sunday, killing a bodyguard of a local Fatah Party Leader and wounded 7 other people which was reported by medical officials. There was no immediate claim of responsibility but Muslim extremists earlier had visited the school and warned authorities not to hold the festival which was also reported by U.N. and Security Officials.

On another sad note I also read that recently a roadside explosion outside the Iraqi capital on Sunday killed six American soldiers and a European civilian journalist which was reported by the military. I also read that in Samarra , in the Sunni heartland 60 miles north of Baghdad, a car bomb and shooting attack killed 12 police including the police chief and which also wounded two American soldiers racing to the headquarters to help.

The American deaths I read included eight soldiers killed Sunday in separate attacks in Diyala province and Baghadad and two marines killed Saturday in a blast in Anbar province. Also, a soldier died Sunday in a noncombat incident in northern Iraq. Their deaths raised to at least 3,373 the number of U.S. military members who have died since the U.S. invasion in March 2003 according to an Associated Press. The Baghadad market blast erupted about noon in the mixed Sunni-Shiite Baiyaa neighborhood and devastated the area, reducing cars and trucks to skeletons. In addition to the dead, dozens of other people were injured. I read in the newspaper that no one claimed responsibility for the attacks.

My dear world I don't really know what will change in Iraq or if the President is watching the news lately. Everytime I turn on the news all I hear about is that more violence has erupted in Iraq or another soldier has been killed over there. I was sad when I heard the news and when I read about everything in the newspaper. I just think that something has to change over there or if things will get worse I don't see how they could. I have to say my dear world that I think that the U.S. troops need to come home and out of harm's way. Am I wrong for feeling this way my dear world ???

My dear world check out this video ------> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXWXQeHCWpo (Waiting On The World To Change)

On a different note....for those of you like me who are afraid of spiders I have a little nightmarish tale to share with you from the news. Recently what began as a faint popping in a 9-year-old Albany Ore, boy's ear like "Rice Krispies" ended up as an earache, and the doctor's diagnosis was that a pair of spiders each the size of a pencil eraser made a home in his ear. " They were walking around in his eardrums, " Jesse Courtney said, One of the spiders was dead, but the other was still alive after the doctor flushed the fourth-grader's left ear canal. It took a second dousing before it emerged. I read that Jesse took the two dead Spiders to school. " It was real interesting...what next ?" he said.

Sweet Dreams dear world !!!!!!!!

Some News

Hello dear world

How are you ? I wanted to come by and catch you up to date on my weekend. Here it goes.....yesterday me and my family went down to the mall otherwise known as Southlake Mall. At Southlake we went to Sears where I didn't realize at first but I saw two really dressy shirts I liked and yes I purchased them. One of the shirts is pink with a gold glittery thin stripe on it. My dear world I don't usually go for the color pink but I thought it was nice so I purchased it. I also found a nice dressy black sweater with a white dress shirt with black stripes on it to go underneath my sweater. You can see the white shirt underneath it and let me tell you its cute. I also purchased a nice dress shirt for my older sister.

Later on we went to a video store called Hollywood Video. There really isn't any videos there that I like except a few. I did rent one called Motives which was pretty good. I also bought a movie called Journey To The Edge Of Night With Brendan Fraser and Mos Def which was a pretty good movie. My nieces also got some movies they liked so it was nice to be out at the video store.

All in all my Saturday was nice and it was nice to be out enjoying the weather. Today early this morning my family and I went to our Church which is St. Philip Benizi Catholic Church. I wore my pink shirt I bought and I had on some nice brown dress pants. I have to tell you that on May 19th my church will be having a Parish Picnic from 12noon to 5 pm. The tickets are $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for children. If you are in the area you might want to come. There will be a turbo swing, a moonwalk, music, food, arts and crafts and much much more. Please come by if you can. Here is the link to my church ----> http://www.stphilipbenizi.org/ .

By the way one of my coworkers dropped by to bring back our office key because she had left her keys in the office so she had to borrow my key to get into the office. My coworker is a really nice person. We hang out together on our lunch break and while we are on break at work. I invited her to come over for Memorial Day which she said yes to my invitation. My family and I will be having a little bar-b-que at the house so I'm sure she will enjoy it. I will ask one of my other coworkers that I hangout with as well and hopefully she will say yes.

Anywho how was your weekend ???? I hope you are enjoying it and the weather as well where you are. Do take care my dear world.

Do enjoy your Cinco de Mayo !!!!!!!!!

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

Your Favorites Of Summer

Hello dear world

I'm back !!!!!!! So how have you been ? I have been working but I am doing well. Being that the weather has been rather warm I have been thinking about how much I am longing for Summer which got me to thinking.

Its about that time my dear world for flip-flops, sunglasses, cold bottled water, wearing t-shirts and shorts and most of all......Summertime.

So my dear world what are your plans for the Summertime ? Will you be doing any reading over the Summer ? I'm asking you this because I was wondering what kind of books do you like to read during the Summer ?

I was also thinking that I would jump start you into thinking about your favorite books that you might take to the beach and why....So get prepared to get out your favorite books, some sheets of paper and start thinking about what books you might suggest others to read during the Summer.

You might even give me a few hints about the books I should read. You might also want to leave me the links to your journal in which you share your thoughts on this subject.

Until then my dear world....

Let's Dive Into The Joys Of Summer With A Few Good Books
