Unanomouse yes

Ok, so all three votes are for a yes. It makes me wonder, when I see the number of page visits go up and there is a poll going on, why dont people vote, or at least leave a message. I know I dont leave a message every time I visit a page. I just like the whole poll thing. it gives you a chance to leave a message without saying a thing. Maybe I just dont know what a page visit really is. Who really cares. OK, here goes. Disclaimer: I do not know anything about Africa except for what I have learned from watching animal Planet or some other documetery on TV. Please do not get all pissy if I happen to take creative licence with my imagination. And I surley will.

Sara and the Baby

Sara and her brother and mom and dad lived in Africa. Sara's dad documented and photographed wild animals of every kind and doing this sent them on journeys all over the world. This time they found themselves in Africa for two years, so far. Sara was 12 and her brother Jimmy was 14. They lived on the outside of a village, but still close enough to have made friends with some of the other kids in the village. There was a fence around their house that Saras dad had built to keep out the wild animals. Saras mom, enjoyed their travels, but worried about the kids safety, especially at night when she knew more animal would be out.

Saras dad was back in the states, taking care of business for getting this book published. He was told they might make a documentery about his travels, so he would be gone for a couple of weeks. Mom and the kids would have to be alone and take care of themselves. Jimmy was the man of the house while he was gone.

Today, Sara and Jimmy asked Mom if they could walk along the trail outside the fence. The trail curved along for miles outside of their fence. It was wide enough for two or three people, but was probably traveled by animals as well. This was a special place where Sara and Jimmy made up wild adventure tales as they walked along. Usually, nothing out of the ordinary happened while they were walking though.

It was early in the morning and they would have plenty of time to get home before the sun went down. They promised mom they would carry their sticks and be very careful. They carried big sticks to make themselves appear bigger to the animals. They didnt know if this was actually true, but they did it anyway, just to keep mom happy. They village people told them to do it if they went walking.

Today, mom felt good and told them they could go. Lunch would be at the regular time, be home and she would have it ready.

Got a Question.

Friday morning at last! I thought I was gonna have to work tonight, up till the last minute. I really hate working on my day off.

My son is here for his tiny spring break. He only gets Thursady and friday, then he has to go back. He is going to Spartan School of Aeronautics in Tulsa Oklahoma. Here is a big Holla out to all of you from that region of the land. This is the first time he has been away for this long from all  of his family. We took him there and got him all set up in July of last year. he came home for Christmas also. When your  babies go away to be adults all by themselves, it is sorta heartwrenching. Then, when you see them actually accomplishing this, you are sorta proud.  It is a very strange thing to witness of yourself and of them. Do we ever think our kids have actually grown up and can make their own decisions. I dont know. Do they ever really look like grown ups to their parents, dont know that one either. I will have to wait for my two big babies to finish growing up to find out.  One is 27 and one is 19. So far, they are still my babies.

the other morning when I was trying to get to sleep, a story was running through my brain. I was thinking of writing it on here in installmants. It is a story that can be read to your kids, or anyones kids for that matter. By the way, I like to write kids stories. I usually do this when they pop into my brain and wont go away until I write them down. the sad part is, no one usually reads them. So, let me know if you would like to read this, otherwise, I will just write it in my documents. It doesnt matter where I write it, I just have to write it fast, i need to get some sleep.it will keep me awake. for days, its happened before.

Entry for March 28, 2006

I wish i had some really great thing to write about today. I dont. I just need to write every once in a while. even if its about nothing.  So, here is much ado about nothing at all.

does anyone else watch 24. I am so addicted to that show. I have been watching since it started a few years ago. You kinda get to know all about jack . All about CTU and all the people that die each week on thatt show. No one is imune to dieing. I would never want to be Jacks  friend, you would probably die. but it really is a good show.

I said it was much ado about nothing at all, and so it is, and so i will have to say goo-night from here. Hope ya all have  a good day.

Maybe tomarrow i will have working brain waves. Who knows.

Passing the day away

I get to write again. I finished my first lessons from the packets I received last week. i am ready to send them off and get more, so I can get on the road to a new career.  this makes me feel good about myself. We all need that.

I realised I never mention my husband. I also never refer to him as my husband, to me that sounds more like something you would own. I usually refer to him as John, and eventually, people just learn that he is my husband, and I dont have to continually explain myself. Any, john and I have been married coming up on 22 years. We are at that stage in our marriage that we can do things together, or apart and either way is good with us. I would do probably anything he wants to do, but I would have to convince him to go along with me most of the time. I personally feel that he works very hard and should have whatever he wants. He feels I  can   wait for most of the stuff I want, so I just buy what I want and tell him later. We   both get  the same results, but there is less of a fight. I dont know how we both have gotten along for so amny years without leaving each other, because I have threatened to. We will probably put up with each other for a long time to come. I guess that is the way it is supposed to be.

From my previous posts, If you read them, yo know we are doing a lot of O.T.(overtime for future reference). I wont be able to get on here as much unless i get on as soon as I get home from work and before I fall asleep. that gives me around 2 hours to get a snack before i go to sleep, do my little workout( I bought an Ab Lounger), watch any shows form my DVR, and pop in here for a while. If I stay up more than two hours, i am ruined.  Sometimes though, I just dont have athing to talk about and bla bla bla is all that is running through my brain. On those days, I need to sleep.

Ok, the strangest thing has happened, well, probably not the strangest, but kinda strange. I dont have a huge friend list, so I pretty much know who is on my page. So i went in to read everyones posts, and someone was missing. ( should I put out an Amber alert) I know i added someone the other day, but I have never deleted someone. How could this have happened. When i checked to see if maybe this person just wasnt on 360 any more, that wasnt the case. Can someone remove themself from another persons list??? Would a person do that? and why? John doesnt even know how to get on this page, so it certainly wasnt him. I am confused. I would love to hear from anyone that might be able to help me understand if i deleted someone accidently or how this could have happened. I kow it isnt life altering or anything, just strange.

No blog profiles, Again

I dont want to sound mean or ugly, but I have received requests to be on other peoples blog page. So I go to check it out and there is nothing there. No blog, no profile, no list no nothing. Needless to say, I said no. And I will continue to say no to requests from people that dont even take the time to fill out their page. Its not like I am so popular I can afford to say no to people, because I know that is never true. I just feel that if I have told you about me, and posted it for all to see, then I should at least get the same opportunity with you.  I love having this whole seperate world of blog to go to when I need to vent or ask a question. I just need to know the people that are being alerted of my requests and blog notes are really there and arnt some kind of whacko. Thats all.  Im just funny that way.

Entry for March 23, 2006

When I woke up today, I had a package on the table. Yahoo, it was the first installment of my new class I am taking. I can finally get started learning how to be a paralegal.  I was so happy, but still too sleepy to look at it. I did open it up and check out all the information. Tomarrow, I will start my new studies. How exciting for me!

I have been watching my new trees as they bloom. They are getting so beautiful. The blossoms are filling out all over the trees. By the time it warms up here, maybe they will  hanging all the way to the ground and look like giant pink umbrellas, or something to that effect. It is 1:45 am right now, as I am writing this, so no new pic on tree progress. Maybe tomarrow.

I was sitting watching TV tonight, and my work called and told me I didnt have to go in. I wont get paid, but I dont really care. This is the second time this week I got that call. That never happens to me. It happens to other people at work, but not usually to me. I look at it as getting lucky. Im not too worried about the time off. I will be forced to work Friday night, and that will be OT.  After this week, I will be forced to work a bunch of OT, due to crewing issues, so any money I dont make this week, will be made up in the near future.

My sister is trying to sell her home, the one she co-owned with my mom. She called this morning and asked if I would like to spend Saturday with her and garage sale and pack. Oh heck, why not. Pack my bags and bring a bottle of Santa Margerita Pinot Grigio.  Yepppers, baby, where is that wine glass. Better remember the asperin too.  

This is all I have for right now. Not much as far as excitemant goes. Im wide awake cause I slept all day. Maybe I will open my new school work. Well, when you read this, it will be good morning to some, good night to others, but good day to all. I think I will ask a poll question here. Please answere it if you would .

writen just to write

Hey there anyone who happens to read this silly little blog page o mine.  Today, I am writen just to fill this space. My neices birthday is coming up and  told her I would make her chocolate covered marshmellows. Im sure she forgot, but I didnt. So, this morning I came home from work and made marshmellows, tomarrow I will cut them up and dip them in melted Nestles Crunch bars. Oh Yummmmmm! These are homemade from scratch, and oh soo good. My daughter in law loves them, so does her son. That little baby was shoving them in his mouth when i went to visit them. It was so gross, but oh well. So it will be a surprise when they arrive at her door. Kinda, I usually tell people they have a package on the way, and to watch for it. She has a shoe shop  which she spends most of her time in. I may just get the address and send them there. 

We had a sunny weekend, but it was still cold out. At least I know that the midwest didnt steal all the sun. they had our regular weather and we just had poopy weather. So, we were only allowed to have 2 days of sun and today the rain and clouds are back. oh joy.

I dont have anything else, see ya all later. Have a good day. Its sleepy time for me.

Happy Days

I got to come home from work last night at 1:30, so I slept almost a whole night. Woke up at 6:30 and was ready to take on the day, so I cleaned my house, read the paper and had breakfast. What a good start, I think. Now I dont have to worry about anything else my other half may decide I need to do. He is really good at this, cant stand it if I am doing nothing and he is mowing the lawn. My housework is done for the week, and now my time is mine.

Just got a call from the college I chose to take classes from. Was told my first packet is on the way and I can get started with a new learning process as soon as it arrives. I am sooo  excited! I am of the hope that by this time next year, I wont be working for a major snack food manufacturer. I hope I will be working for an attorney, or real estate office or some other place I will be able to put my new found skills to use.  How exciting is that! Dont cha just love learning new stuff. I do.

Although, my work week is Sunday through Thursday, I am being forced to work tonight also. I know that starting next week, we at work will be forced to work many 12 hour days, plus our days off. this really sucks! That is a big reason I want out of that job. I absolutly cannot stand the fact that they can rule my life so much. If we dont work when they tell us to, we get occurances, as if we were absent, and pretty soon these add up and they fire us. So we have to work. No, we are not union, and I know union people will say, " This wouldnt happen if you were Union". Oh goody, that is not enough to make me want to give part of my money to someone else to be a mouthpiece for me. No offence all you union people, I just dont feel the same way you do. I am starting on my way out by learning something else, and that is my advantage.

Still no sunshine here in Motown. Still raining, and expected to continue till next week with a spot of sunshine maybe this week end. One can only hope.

Heres hopen everyone out there has a safe and relaxing weekend.

Pretty Trees

I drove up to my house today and happened to take a peek at my trees as I pulled into the drive way. They are starting to bloom. They are so pretty. I decided to take a pic to show everyone. I know this sounds sorta dorky, I mean it is supposed to be spring and everything. But it has been so freakin cold here in the central valley I didnt think anything was gonna make it. I just kept hopin though.  The sun hasnt really come out for around 4 weeks. It cant dry out, cause every time it trys, we get rain again. Almost every day, it rains down here, and snows in the mountains.  Well, I need some sun dogg gone it!!!!!!!!

OK, time to go to bed, Im gettin loopy again. I woke up too early yesterday and couldnt get back to sleep. That is a problem when you work nights, and a normal topic of conversation during the night. Someone always has had a bad sleep, couldnt sleep, or for some reason, had to stay awake all day to take care of business and got to sleep late. Third shift workers always look tired in the daytime, and still want to sleep all night. Working third shift bites.

Stormy Weather

Another poopy day today. These storms are coming in from Alaska and it is freakin cold out here on the west coast.  I absolutly cannot wait for summer to hit,or at least for the rain to stop. According to the weather folks, this is a big storm and it is gonna hang around for a while. It snowed in the Santa Cruz mtns, that never happens. It feels like snow here. I just want to see the sun and be warm again. Is that asking for too much? I dont think so.  It is just too gloomy. 

Not much else going on here. Wish there was. Seems everyone is having strange weather for whatever region you live in. Well, if the sun is shining on you today, good for you, and I am happy for you. In a few months, it will be so hot here we wont be able to breath. Hurry up!!!

Strange friends

About  a week ago I received a message in my mailbox from a young lady named Vanessa. All she said was "Give me your home addressand I will give you mine. " Her pic seemd to be that of a 13 or 14 year old kid. I tried to get back to her and advise her not to be asking for info like that from strangers, but she was not set on public, so I couldnt respond to her. So I went to her blog site and there was no profile, no past blogs, no nothing. She did have 3 or 4 friends, but only one of them had a profile. One of her friends names was Bate M. This whole scenerio seemed a little strange to me. It felt more like a sting set-up for pedofiles. It really sorta pissed me off that someone would send that kind of crap to me. I guess you have to watch what happens around you no matter what. It made me a little leary of this whole blogging thing. It was just a release for me in the beginning.  That little act kinda took away some of the mystery of writing to no one inparticular and being able to say what you want with only your personel restrictions. Maybe it was nothing. Maybe it was just some kid havng fun or she just got on the internet and doesnt know what else to do. I hope it was an innocent act from a silly kid. Maybe I am making too much of this and I should just forget about it and move on. I guess its really nothing, as long as I dont make it something. It makes me wonder now who is really looking at all these little blog notes we all write. We may have 350 page views, but you dont know from who. Oh well, I guess that is the idea of being able to sit down here and write these little notes to oursselves and each other. Has anyone else had anything like this happen to them?

One more day

One more day and my week is done. I took thusday night off, so Iwill have a three day weekend. I know I just went back, and why on earth would one need an extra day off after 6 months off?? Well, I just do and so I will.  It is sunny out this morning, but I am sure it will turn to rain at some point today. It has been raining for two weeks now. I am asleep all day and at work all night, so I really am not effected by the poopy weather. If I had to look at it more, I would probably have more to say. The way i see it, my new trees are getting watered, and I am happy for that. 

My neice is having ababy soon, so I think I am going to use that excuse to make a baby quilt for her. I havent been able to start a quilt for a while. Not that I dont have the time or supplies. Its just that quilting was something I did with my mom. She taught me how a few years ago. When i made something, I would haul it down to her house and I would make all my sisters down there look at it and it was so much fun. When we worked a quilt tpgether, I would have the lovely job of cutting and ironing, she would sew. I had a hard time keeping up with her.  So, I guess, if I make one for the new baby, I will make all you folks look at it. I will post a pic, if i can get it done.

Im really tired, just got home from work. So this is all I can manage to blab about today. Nothing really exciting. good night all.
