Happy Halloween

Today is halloween, October 31th.  Most homes will dole out bags of candy tonight. Not us. At frito Lay, we beleive in getting our product into those little kiddies hands any way we can. WE have a case sale and hand out chips instead of candy. We are able to buy cases of 150 small bags  for 5.00 each. We have a choice between Cheetos, Doritos, and lays. I only get Cheetos and Doritos, cus that is all the kids want. And I give them all they want. I dont get that many kids, even though we live in a nice neighborhood and there are kids all over the place. Not many go out any more I guess.  It seems ike they would say, "Chips, awwwwww" But they dont. they get all excited and act like they never get them. its funny to hear. Yeah, she gave us cheetos. it makes me laugh.


Im not gonna do the whole history of Halloween thing here. For me it started when I was a kid and that is all I need to know. A littel selfish maybe, but its not like Christmas, where there is reason to know the history. Halloween history is a thing to know, but isnt necesary to celebrate and go begging for goodies. Ok, thats all for today. Im gonna read a few blogs, and head off to bed, I would like to wake up early enough to see some of the little beggers.


Oops, forgot the reveal again. I'll think of a good one for next time.

Sadie has Hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sadie was so excited today. Her hair had started to grow back after her Chemo, but she didnt want to say anything until she was happy with how long it was. Today, she asked me to take a picture of her with her new hair. It is thicker and prettier than it was before. I think she is so beautiful with her new hair. Melissa  and Andy are so happy for her also. Mavis, will you show Annie, Sadie wants her to see it also. I havent seen her this happy for a very long time. Her Luekemia hasnt shown signs of coming back and she is feeling very good. I think the kids might have a party to celebrate Sadies new hair. I wish Annie could be here, I know she would love it. She does love a party.

Andy Rooney view on ladies over 40

NO reveal on this one. the last reveal was too much, and I just think i need to wait a minute for the next one. My sister sent me this the other day. I thought, well, most of my friends here on yahoo 360 are around my age and they might enjoy this. I know I did. I felt it was more to how i feel about things since i turned 40. I always liked to see Andy Rooney at the end of 60 minutes, just because I sorta liked his sence of , well how he saw things. No frill or PC on him. I liked that out him. I hope my friends see themselves in this, as i did. Now all your women over 40, put on your red lipstick and be the beautiful and sexy women you are.


For those of you who are past 40 or are getting there fast!


Subject: Why Older Chicks Rule by Andy Rooney



Andy Rooney says:



As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 most of all.  Here are just a few reasons why:



A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night to

ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.



If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit

around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And it's usually something more interesting.



A woman over 40 knows herself well enough to be assured of who she

is, what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 40 give a hoot what you might think about her or what she's doing.



Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.



Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved.  They know

what it's like to be unappreciated.



A woman over 40 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends.



Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40.   They always know.



A woman over 40 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not

true of younger women.



Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier

than her younger counterpart.



Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if

you are a jerk, if you are acting like one!



You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.



Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons.



Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 40+, there is a bald, paunchy relic of a man in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress.



Ladies, I apologize.



For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?", here's an update for you, Now 80% of women are against marriage.  Why?



 Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig, just to get a little sausage.

Entry for October 26, 2006

My reveal: We had moved from Santa Cruz to Half Moon Bay when i was about 6 years old. One day, a couple came and was talking to my mom. i wasnt in the room, so i didnt know waht they were saying. them my mom called me or came over to where i was or something, but she told me who the people were. They knew my mom from church in Santa Cruz and wanted to know if I would like to come and stay with them for a while. I didnt have to go If I didnt want to, it was up to me. I decided to go. I know, how strange for someone to come and ask a kid to come and live with them. Anyway, Iwent and we lived in the same house we had just moved out of in Santa Cruz. That was really wierd, even now when I think of it, it is strange. I lived with them for a while, I dont know how long. Than one day, I did something I was told never to do, I got on the back of their oldest sons motercycle. someone saw us and told on us. The father threatendd to beat me with a belt. I knew then I wanted to go home. He told me if I went home, i couldnt take all the gifts they had bought for me. they gave me cloths, a recrd player, dolls. I had a room of my own. But I wanted to go home. I missed my mom and my family. I had to tell this man three times I wanted to go home, cus I guess he thought I was really giving something special up. They tookme honme, with what I left with. When I grew up, i asked my mom about these people. She told me they wanted top adopt me, because my mom had so many kids, I guess they thought she would give one up. Thank God mom said no. I would have been a different person, i just know it. I wouldnt know all the stuff my mom taught me, I wouldnt be the person I am today.


Wow, i need to do smaller reveals, these are just too long. I started witht the really dramatic stuff, so the other stuff should be easy.  Anyway, does anyone watch dancing with the stars. I do, and I love it. Taht is how I want to dance. One day, i will. I think Emmit Smith is so fun to watch. He is genuanly having a good time, you can tell. He is smiling the whiole time he is dancing. I would love to go see a taping of that show. I have my DVR set to record on that one. I was so happy they finally got rif of Jerry Springer. He should have been gone a long long time ago. the judges kept him going though. He didnt even really try, or sso it seemed. Some people were voted off that shouldtn have been voted off, and he was still there. How maddening.


I dont have a bunch more  to talk about. My sister sent me an email the other day and i want ot put it on here, but not now. it will havve to be on a seperate blog, cus if I loose this many wods to the yahoo blog thief, i just wont write it over again. Taht is why i dont put pics in any more. I got tired of loosing half of my blog and having to re write it. I know, up in the top right corner, you can retreive your blog entry, but you only get part of it. I can also start from another opage, but this si where i am starting from. If I ever have a pic that you absolutly must see, i will put it on here. Ok, thats it for today. Hope you all have a great day.

My color profile




I am copying this from a link on Ems page.   There isnt a reveal on this page, but it isnt a real blog, just  a copy and paste.  I think it fits me. What do you think.






Image



Much of the time you are preoccupied with things of an intensely exciting nature. You need stimulation and variation with all matters pertaining to your life. You want to be regarded as an exciting and interesting personality being able to charm and influence others. You use powerful strategies with predictable outcomes so as to avoid endangering your chances of success or undermining other people's confidence in you.



In the past there have been - and maybe there still are - many things that you have had to do without. You have now decided to set your sights on a position or situation that could give you greater prestige and which will afford you considerable self esteem.



Being emotionally inhibited you have no alternative at this time but to be a 'watcher' rather than a 'doer'. At this time you feel as if you are being forced to compromise and stand back. But this is not the true you. Deep down there is that warm 'open' you which is awaiting the moment to burst forth - maybe like the chrysalis which will soon become the butterfly.



As of late, you have been experiencing untold stress and this is a result of continuous frustration. You haven't been taking care of all your physical needs and it's beginning to show. It would seem that you have a need to find someone to whom you can really relate - someone perhaps whose standards are as high as your own. You want to be different - to be individualistic - to stand out from the common herd. Your inherent control of your sensual instincts is restricting your ability to give yourself to open up freely but this being on your own, being lonely, often makes you feel the need to give up some of your strict standards to surrender to the general flow - to be like everyone else; a part of the herd. Deep down you regard such instincts as weaknesses to be overcome. You would like to be loved or admired for yourself alone. You demand recognition and tender loving care.



The fear that you may not be able to fulfil or realise all of your ambitions makes you work and play hard. The thought of being prevented from achieving the things you want leads you to play your part with frantic fervour.

Mystery solved!

Todays reveal: I dont know who my father is. I dont know what nationality I am, and it really doesnt matter. My nationality isnt what makes me. My mom got pregnant after she divorced her husband that beat her and abused her. That pregnancy produced me. I asked her so many times about the guy that is my father, and she would say she didnt rememeber his name or give me some reason she couldnt tell me.  I knew i was different form my brothers ansd sisters, cus i dont look anything like them. They are tall and thin have wavy hair, I am short and sorta round with straight almost jet black hair. When I was a kid, I was so dark, all the time. My sisters were so white, and they burned, i didnt.  People are all wierded out when i tell them i dont know my nationality, but does it really matter. It doesnt to me, and it never has. 


Ok, that was todays reveal. Done. Im not any different than anyone else that knows their whole family. I was thinking about doing that genetic testing thing to try and find out what I really am. It wont tell me who my bio father is, but it will tell me if i am mexican, phillipino, or some other kind of brown. It wont change me, it will just give me littel bit of information.


So last night I went to the Murder mystery dinner theater. I didnt know who was sponsering it who the actors were. When we got there, my friend Rosa told me it was all the people from where her sister works. It was all the peoplwe from the county offices. they were a blast. I wonder who we were sitting with. anyway, they were the actors, the waiter people, they did everything. I have to give them props. they did a very excellent job of pulling off this fun filled night. The play was staged in our local Opera house. Yes, our town has an opera house.


Anyway, the theme of the night was a night for giving an award to employee of the year. Four team members were inthe running and the prize was fabulouse. they were all anxious to get it, but one of the runners up was trying to blackmail the others to back out of the running. Well, you know what happens from there. Slash, she is gone and the mystery starts. I cant even begin to tell you all the so funny things taht were happening. I missed so many details of the murder cus i was laughing or watching someone else. I dont know how many ofyou have been to one of these, but you have to do it at least one time. The dinner doesnt even really matter, the murder is the fun part.


In the end, I thought i knew who did it, but my friend Rosa, who invited me, convinced me otherwise. I should have stuck with my instincts. The ballet i turned in was wrong. they did give out prises though, and i did win a cook book that was put together by the employees there. That should be a good book. I havent really looked at it yet, but I will.


Wow, I just realised this is getting kinda long. I hate to bore you, sorry, drag these on for too long, so i will stop here. Or somewhere around here.  We are having wonderful sunny days, so I will open the house and let in some good clean air. the tree in our front yard is starting to turn pretty colors of yellow and orange and soon it will be bare. Soon, all the trees on our block will be naked, and our sewer drains will be clogged with the leaves. That means when it finally starts to rain, the streets will flood. ramble ramble ramble on. ok, see ya ll later. have a good week and please, try not to work too hard.

My Reveal

In all the reality shows latley, there is a BIG REVEAL. I have decided that since I dont care too do the Challenges to let everyone know about me, I will do a reveal in front of every blog, or at the beginning. This will accomplish the same result, and will also help with the whole blog thing. It may be just a sentence, or it may be a paragraph.  Dont know. We will have to see what happens.


Firsty off, i want to let you all  know, this is my Friday night, and for the first time, i have decided to have a drink after work. Keep in mind, Its only 11:58 am. I work nights, Im ahead of you. This might be sorta fun.


OK, my first reveal, is, I wanted to be an actress when i was growing up. Not just any old actress, but star of stage and screen, mostly stage. Iwanted to sing, dance, do the whole thing.  I took acting classes at school, and my mom had connections to people in ACT, an acting group. For me, Ann Miller was the person to , cant remember the word, emulate. Thats the word. I wanted to dance like Ann Miller. I also would have liked to dance like Ginger Rogers   but I didnt have a partner like Gene Kelly.   I loved Tap, but never took a class. I still love to dance, and I want  to take ballroom dance lessons. Its on my list of things to do. Anyway, I ended up going off with my first husband and that was the end of my Acting dream. Maybe later, dont know.


How was that for  a first reveal. I dont have a whole lot more to talk about. I am going with a friend of mine this weekend to a Murder Mystery dinner Theater. I am really excited about this. I have been twice to these, and it is really fun. It almost seems liker your not eating, your just having fun and trying to figure out who got killed by who. Nope, John isnt going, didnt invite him. its a girls night out andI need it. there is a lot of corrections in this, wine ya know. I will find out how many later on.


ok, that is all for now. hey, ya wanna know what kind of wine im drinkin? its called Stamma, I think thats how its spelled. I now know I shouldnt drink after work, its hits too soon, and too hard. oh yeah, I forgot to eat, that might be the reaon. I will correct that next time. hope ya all have a great weekend. see ya  on the next blog.

Tag, Im it!

I think it was Annie that tagged me with this pet peeve thing. I dont usually do tags, but I havent posted anything for a while, so why not. It was kinda hard for me to do this. I dont really think about the things that peeve me. there are a few things though, so here goes. and Im not tagging anyone else, I just cant.


1. I cant stand when I am driving and the person behind me is in my back seat. I am tempted to tap my breaks and see if they hit me, but I love my car, so I wont.


2. when someone has their turn signal on and they dont turn, or change lanes. this really bugs the heck out of me.


3. I absolutly hate it when I see people leave their trash in public places, or anywhere for that matter. I just cant stand people not picking up after themselves.


I am struggling already.


4. When I see spoiled kids in the mall, and their parents give them what ever they want cus they fuss or cry and throw a  tantrum. I have walked away from my son when he has done that.


This is  really getting difficult now. It is starting to sound like whining to me.


5. Chain letters really bug me. I just wont pass them along. sorry. I dont hate you, and I have never died from not passing one on. I dont think any one has. I guess they are a peeve to me.


If you knew how long I am sitting here thinking about this, you would laugh. I really dont think about the things that are peeves to me. If something bugs me, it only lasts a minute, then i move on, really. Its more trouble to be bothered by something, than to forget about it. ok, here is the last one.


6. Im gonna have to say these challenges. Really a lot of the things people ask about, I dont even think about. The music one on bears blog, I couldnt do cus i never know the name of a song, never. I have seen a couple variations of music challenges, listen to your ipod and bla bla bla. I dont have an ipod.  ok, done with this.


Im not gonna pass it on to six other people cus you have all been tagged at one point or another. i could go to peoples blog that I dont know and tag them, that way, if they get all pissy with me, i wont care, it wont matter. lol. that would be funny. just go to some strangers blog, or comment section and type in tag, your it! and nothing else. and tell them to tag six strangers. no thinking involved in that. i must be really tired, im sitting here laughing at myself. Well, im gonna go read everyones blogs and comments now. See ya all later

Entry for October 14, 2006

Its been a week since i have been on here, or at least posted anything of my own. I see Amber finally made here way home, welcome back baby.  I have been putting off delving into the law side of my life right now. It is a mental block, and it is bugging the heck out of me. I know if I just do it, I will get it done, send it in and be over with it. Nothing left but the party planning. That will come after I getthis done, I promiose.


John and I went out last night. W went to our favoriter palce to eat and drink and now dance, Mallards. It is a very nice place here, and now they have a live band on Fridays. I had a drink called a ckocolate cake. Its a shot of all alcohol, frangilica and  a couple other things. After you drink the whole thing down, you suck on a sugar covered lemon and then breath in and you get the taste of chocolate cake. I would rather just eat a chocolate cake. Too much alcohol in one drink and too much work for cake. Also, I am not into sucking on lemons. I had a lemon drop martini after that. I like those, but after the cake, I could only have one. No more cake for me.


The band was good. It is a different band every week. There are a couple bands that rotate the weekends, but the one last night was really good. I didnt really sleep   yesterday, so i was tired and only lasted til 10.0. Tahts ok, John had enough for both of us. I needed sleep.


I woke up with a bit of a cold coming on. Im gonna go get me some cold meds and try to fend it off. I dont even want it to get comfy in my system. I also have to go to Costco today. And I need to put my ring in the shop. I lost a diamond the day we went to great America. I havent worn it since then. I hope it doesnt cost too much to repalce the diamond. I am just happy it wasnt the Ruby. That would have broke my heart. I love rubies. And emeralds. and diamonds, mostly in that order. Its not a huge diamond, thank goodness.


I have been so tired these past few weeks. I think its the third shift thing getting to me. I am in that cycle, that all I want to do sleep, and eat. even on the weekends. i sorta have to force myself to do something. I hate this. Im not even really sleepy all the time, I just want to go to bed and stay there. I am not though. I am doing things, slowley, but doing things anyway.


I talked to my sister the other  day  about my other sister.  She should be fine, eventually. the cancer can be removed and her intestines stapled or something like that. They wont know if her Lymph nodes are effected until they go in and do a byopsy.  Think positive. 


Well, this  is getting rather long and boring now. I think im gonna pop on  over and see how everyone else is doing. Looks like Bear and Katy might be snowed into their cave. hope they have lectricty. Hope you all are doing good. Im gonna scoot along. See ya ll later.

Im going to the Library

I am so freaking excited. We went away this weekend and I took my homework with me to read on the trip. I didnt want to waste the time in the car. I have already seen all the sites there and back, and I wanted to keep up my one chaptor a week schedule. So I read through chaptor 25, and was ready to do the test at the end, but found out I had to go to the law library. OK, I can do that. I read through the instructions, and part of the things i am required to do. I decided to go on to Chapto 26. What the heck. Read that. Same thing, I have to do some major work, cant finish it in the car. By that time, we arrived at our destination. we had stopped in between and had lunch with Johns Brother and sister in law. It was a half way mark for us, and we really wanted to see them again. Wow, doing the schoolwork really made the 3 hour trip quick.


Anyway, the weather was so nice, sunny and warm. There ia a pool at the hotel we stayed at, but it is too cold to go in. We sat at the pool side and drank our glasses of wine, relaxing after the drive. We usually bring a bottle of our favorite wine with us when we go away for the weekend. Saves a little cash for other fun stuff like eating really good food. Which of cource we did at my favorite place again. I had chicken, John had steak. WE went back to the hotel to put the leftovers away, andI stayed there. John wantedd to go see his neice at the restraunt she works at, and have a few drinks there. I dont care, go, im tired. I wake up too early to be able to stay out late. That really bugs me, I will figure out how to sleep late one day.


So, the next day, we got up, had breakfast and left. So, on the way home, I read the last chaptor. Yes folks, the l;ast chaptor of my Paralegal studies program. I took the quizes, and even took the test, which I would have to enter into the computer. And by the way, tht is done also.  So last night, I didnt have to work. They called from work and told me I didnt have to come in, which i was hoping for. So now I can go to the Law Library and do the research and take the tests i have to do to finish this and put my resume on line and get a new job. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im so excited. and I just cant hide it! dancing, jumping around, looking silly. cant remember the right words after this, that is for the bear.


Compose yourself Lisa. so when i get the test results back, Iam going to put on my sons graduation gown and have a small graduation ceremony for me. then we will go out to dinner and celebrate my success. When this happens, I will let you know, cus you all have been a part of my journey here, and I want you to celebrate with me. So until later on, see ya. I have to get ready to go to the LIBRARY. IM A LITTLE EXCITED, can you tell?

We're leavin town, again

John woke up this morning and asked if I had any plans for the weekend. No, none. Would I like to go away to Occidental for the night? Yes.  this  is the place  we went a few weeks back, where we saw the seals and our coast.  I will be happy to get away for the weekend. It takwes a few hours to get there, but once you  arrive, it is worth the drive.  the whole toen Of Occidental is about maybe a mile long. Once you park your car, check into the hotel and get settled, you dont have to drive again. You can just walk to anywhwere in town.  So that is our retreat this weekend. I need it. Image


Last weekend, we moved my sister out tof the house she and my mom shared and owned together. She has more stuff she doesnt need than anyone I have ever seen. It is just a temporarty move for her, until the house sells, then she will buy her own place and we will move her once last final time. Whew. Image


My youngest called last night. It was his 20th birthday. He has a job driving forklift in OK. He had a small accident and ended up in the emergency room. Thank goodness, no stitches or broken bones, just a fat lip. The forklift always wins in an accident. His dad had just gotten done advising him on forklift safety that morning. I used to drive a lift, and even tipped one over one time. I was very lucky, not a scratch on me, just shaken up. Same with alex, fatlip but shaken up. I guess you have to learn somehow. It pretty hard to hurt a lift, but pretty easy to hurt yourself on one. He will be ok, once he stops shaking.  He is also very lucky.


I better get runnin. I really hope everyone has a great weekend. I think I will. very relaxing. I need it, Im sure you do to.

Stuff is happening here in Cali

It s finally raining here. I am so happy. It clears the air, settles the dust and lets everything get the big drink it's been waiting for. Our fire danger drops dramatically, and any existing fires are extinguished. Our firemen and women get the break they have been waiting for.  that is another drawback of our California summers, they are dry and hot, they perfect combination for pyros and fire. Our temps have dropped to the 70's. Remember, I said it just gets cold one day, well that happend last Saturday, it clouded up, and hasnt gone away yet. That is just how we do it out here on the West coast. Quick and easy. No playin around.


I got a call yesterday from one of my sisters. she told me that my oldest sister went and had a colonoscopy, and they discovered she has cancer. They dont know if it has traveled to her lymph nodes or not. If it didnt, they can cut it out. If it did, well.......I think you know what happens from there. This will be our first expereince with cancer in our family. We are a very healthy bunch, so far, and up to this point.


I dont know if I have ever told how big my family is. I am number 11 of a 12 person family. There are ten girls and two boys. All babies my mom had were born healthy and alive. My mom came from a large family, and they were /are pretty healthy. They lived to be into their late eighties and nineties. I have one Aunti that is still very active at 94. She sounds just like my mom when she talks. I just love her. None of my blood relatives, that I know of, have passed from a serious illness. We didnt even have a death in our family, aside from our grandparents, until I was a full grown adult. None of us really knew what to do. It was really strange when it did happen.


So the sister that is sick, Carol,is my oldest sister. I am the baby sister. After me there is my little brother. I get to claim baby though, cus with a family this big, you have to find your claim where you can, and dont let go. After my mom passed, Carol declared she was the new Matriarch. We all said ok to that, she get s to make all the big decisions now. So, I guess I will let you know in the coming days how she is doing. This might be rougher than I thought, since it is such a sudden discovery. I know you will all be here, and i thank you in advance for that. I hope Im not too late to ask God to make sure she can be fixed with surgery.


Thats all for today. see ya all later

Entry for October 02, 2006

I just looked at the time since I have been on Yahoo. It has been since November 2005. I cant beleive a year has passed. A lot has happened in that year. I started this to get my feelings of my mom being so sick adjusted within myself. I dont know why I felt I should say this stuff publicly, but I did. I am glad i did. I have met some really incredible people. I dont write as much as I used to, just cus I really dont have anything to say. I learned how to put a pic on the blog, but I lost so many blogs, I decided i wont do it as much, it doesnt really matter to me. I have decided a lot of stuff doesnt really matter to me, I wont get into that, not right now.


I thought I would be able to write all the stuff that was on my mind and bothering me, cus no one know me here, so what does it matter. WEll, now, I do know people, so it does matter, and I still dont tell all that is bothering me. Maybe i should do a private blog, so i can unload the rest of the crap in my head.


Anyway, As of November, I will have been here a year. I have seven thousand something page views, and 1048 visits.  Not bad i guess. someone wanted to see what I said, or didnt say. lets see if I have anything to say , or not say for one more year. My favorite writing script is comic and the size is medium. this pretty much stays the same. it is just easy for my eyes to read. I try not to get too serious about much of anything, cus there is too much of that in my real life. this is my alter life, sort of. ok, i have to get ready for work now. Ill see ya all later.
