Wow, it's been a whole month since my last blog, okay a day short of a month, lol. Can you believe it, it's almost that time of year again, the time to give thanks and appreciate our lives, our family and everything God has given us. If you've been reading my blog since the beginning you should know by now that this is the time of year that I go through the items in my home to purge. For the

Why is it when general comments are posted on Facebook, Twitter or some other social site, heck even this site, some people take it personal. I believe it's because the comments made on the sites are somewhat true for the person reading it, which is why it upsets them so much. Yes life sucks at times and we all wish life was perfect but it's not and you have to make the best of what it gives you

Last week we got back from our vacation. We stayed in New Smyrna Beach and besides spending time there we also spent time in Daytona Beach and St. Augustine's Historic District. The weather was hot and muggy but the pool was refreshing and the ocean and horizon were beautiful. While in Daytona we saw 100's of motorcyle riders there for the Biketoberfest. I never seen so many motorcycles,

I was surprised at how fast time flew at work today. I only have one day of work this week and today was it. It wasn't as busy as it was last week but we had our stream of customers. Yesterday I had to take dh to the dentist because he chipped a tooth. I thought it was going to cost alot but it was only $162 which I consider pretty good. Besides, the insurance company will probably reimburse us

It's been another month since I've written in my blog. I can't believe how time just flies but when you are waiting for something or want something to happen it seems like time just drags on. Before you know it it will be Christmas time again. I guess maybe I should get started with my shopping early but of course that never happens because I always wait until the last minute. Since my last blog,

This weekend is going to be a pretty busy weekend. Tomorrow I have an appointment with the dentist. Yuck! Hate going there every six months. After the dentist I'm going to bake dh a cheese cake I promised him on Tuesday and never got around to it. I also have to do some house cleaning because the little peanut and her mommy are coming over on Friday.On Saturday I have a baby shower to go to. I

Not much has happened since the last time I blogged. I couldn't make this month psychic fair so will try to make next months fair. Last week I worked all week and was exhausted. I had to work four-eight hour days. Yes I know that does not seem like a lot but when you are use to working two-four hour days, it can seem like a lot.This week I was back to my normal schedule but I'm still feeling

This weekend I picked up my grand daughter and I can't believe she is growing so fast. She's trying to mimic more words. Her teeth are finally growing and her face is changing. He little personality is developing more and she is starting to get into everything. Her toys don't seem to be that important to her anymore, she'd rather grab the phone and try to dial all kind of numbers or open the bird

The last time I wrote in my blog was two weeks ago and it was also the last time I seen the little peanut, my grand-daughter. Last week she was suppose to go with her mother to visit her family but never got around to it so they planned on going this week so I didn't get to pick her up either. Last week was also my dh's birthday so my son and I went to purchase his gift. We got him a 47" LCD

Just kidding! I recently went back to work after being on "vacation" for five years, yes, five years. Are you jealous yet? It's like me to work several years then take several years off. I've done this since my teens. Can't complain. It's nice to be able to work and take off when you feel you just want too. It's nice to stay home too but after a while you do get tired because you've done

After a week of getting back home from North Carolina it was back to work, but only for one day. The night was slow and the shocking news of Michael Jackson's sudden death after hearing about Farrah Fawcett passing away in the morning did not help, especially when some of the music coming from the intercom was Michael Jackson's. I had some family members call me and even a friend who knew how

Home-Sweet-Home...we arrived yesterday from North Carolina. We left Saturay morning to spend a couple of days visiting with dh's daughter, my step-daughter, whom we hasn't seen in over 20 years and our grandson that we never met and is now 6 years old. We also went to visit my stepson's daughter, our grand-daughter, who we hasn't seen seen she was a toddler. She is now 12 years old. Dh was

Today our nephew on my dh's side and his wife came by to visit from New York. We went to have lunch at Cici's with them and our son. I made sure to update emails and phone numbers. So I added them to my Facebook site and they added me to theirs. We were happy to see them as always.Later that evening I decided to plug some names into Facebook to see if I could find some old friends who I have been

Seems like I have been slacking off on the blog thing. I guess I may be spending too much time on Twitter. There's nothing much happening lately just taking it one day at a time. Still working for now and spending time with my grandbaby on the weekends. She is just growing up too fast. I tried putting some videos on my photo blog but for some reason they didn't load. I guess I will have to try

Last time I wrote a blog was more than two weeks ago and already the month of May is halfway gone. I can't believe half of the year is almost over, just two more weeks and it will be June. Nothing much happened during the first two weeks of May.On Mother's day dh, our grand daughter and me went to spend the day with my mom, brother and sister. We hung out there for several hours and my grand

Sunday night when I opened my laptop, I pushed the power button and nothing happened. I noticed that the power button was out of place. I looked at it and wondered how did that happen? I looked for something that I could move it back into place with because I did not want to scratch it or damage it further. I managed to get the button back into place and got it started after fidgeting with it

I see it's been a while since my last blog. Well nothing much happened the week after my last post except work and appointments. The weekend of Good Friday, my sister and her family came down to visit from New York. They spent a couple of days with us and I was so happy to see them all. It was good seeing them and spending time with them. Thanks sis! I wish you guys are able to move down here

Today I'm still sore from Friday's chores. Dh and I decided to try and pressure wash the back of the house again. We had tried it last year but were unsuccessful. We got off to a rocky start but managed to get it cleaner than what it was. The pressure washer gave us a hard time at first but we got it going. We only did the back of the house because it was the only place that was dirty. The rest

Today was a busy day for me. I had to catch up on some chores. Upon waking I tackled the shower and bathroom. While I did some laundry dh helped with the vacuuming, he did several room. I had three loads of clothes to do. Then we tackled the kitchen. While dh wiped down the bottom cabinets I did the top ones. I cleaned the toaster oven, the microwave and flushed the coffee maker vinegar.I cleaned

This past Saturday morning dh and I got up extra early to head out to the Orlando Tea Party by Lake Eola. We got dressed before we woke our grand daughter up. I had packed her bag and woke her up. I changed her, fed her breakfast and gave her her bottle of milk. We dressed her and started heading out the door. On the way out we were suppose to grab our portable chairs but they weren't where they

It's back to work tomorrow. Yes I have to work and I'm not complaining. I'm grateful that I have a job even though I don't need one. I am grateful that I haven't been given a pink slip yet.I can't believe how fast this month is going by. I didn't do much for the past two days but rest.I spent some time yesterday organizing all my favorites, and believe me I have plenty, while watching all my

I recently signed on to this thing called Twitter because it seems that everyone is Twittering. Don't know much about it but I guess I will figure it out as I figure everything else out. Also signed up to Skype and Facebook but don't know if I like that Facebook too much. Anyway today I had to work. I worked four hours today and tomorrow I work another four hours.

This past weekend dh and I went to the mall to get our grand daughter's birthday present. We brought her a teddy bear from Build a Bear with several sounds in it. After picking her up we took her to the Strawberry Festival. The weather was cooperative, it wasn't cold, it was nice. We walked around, took pictures, ate and saw some of the entertainment. It wasn't all that, more like a carnival with

I've been off work since last Thursday. It was our second weekend baby sitting. I took some more pictures of the baby and today I managed to do a layout on the baby, one on my niece, finished up one on my son and got to post all of them plus some birthday cards I had done. I managed to get some important letters out in the mail and other than that I really didn't do much. I return to work on

Well last week was our first week babysitting our grand baby, unfortunately it went by too fast. We picked her up on Friday and dropped her mommy off at work then came home. Traffic was crazy, I didn't realize we were going to get stuck in rush hour traffic so it took longer to get home.When we got home we had to get the play pen set up, feed her, get her ready for bed and get things ready for
