Have you ever heard the expression, "Life flashing before your eyes"? Well I can honestly say I have experienced it now. While driving on the road tonight a car almost pulled out in front of me and my family. We had to hit the brakes hard to keep from getting too close and hitting this joker. Let me tell you, it wasn't fun.
Here we are, this big red thing coming down the road and this young guy couldn't see us??! I beg to differ. Some of these people don't need to be out on the roads. It's like they get in and just put their foot down on the gas. Geez!
However, I can tell you that I didn't get too far with my life flashing before me like that because it was a split second kind of thing, but I had to wonder. What would it have happened if I was able to finish that sequence? Scary.
I always heard that when that happens you are going to die. All I can say is, "I'm not ready to die. I feel like I'm too young to give in to that right now. But whatever.
All in a days work, travels, etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continuing on with this, why is it that it takes wrecks to get a community to take the money needed to put up much needed road equipment? Where I live we have a bad intersection and the city/county, whichever, won't do anything about it. I mean we have a traffic light there but we need a lead in light. Sometimes when the sun is out and people are in a hurry we have wrecks out the Ying yang. We had one earlier this fall with two teens and an out of state vehicle. Sad, but the teens were scuffed up bad and the person in the other car was hurt. All because we take chances with our lives and the lives of those riding in the car/truck/SUV with us. You would think that the police record would show the city/county we need this, but so far it hasn't. I wonder what next will happen before they decide to take the money from taxes and get that light fixed. Let's hope it's soon before it's too late.
Thank You.

Holidays and Missing Loved Ones
Every day it gets closer and closer to the major holidays of the year. As it comes it makes me remember that I have lost a lot of family members this year and I wonder just how my family is going to make it through without seeing their smiling faces.
As Thanksgiving rounds the corner, I remember how my grandmother loved the smell of pumpkin and sweet potatoe pies baking in the oven. I'll no longer have that smell to relate to Thanksgiving because she passed away this year in April. This will also be our first really big holiday without her and it makes me sad. Without her here I know my family is going to start falling apart and we'll never have get together like we did while she was here. Therefore, all of our promising that we'll always stick together has gone out the window with her death. Isn't it strange how they always know, no matter what, that they have to get you to promise that the remaining family will always stick together when they are gone? You make this promise hoping that you'll have the strength and energy to keep it, but some how it always slips through your fingers in the end.
You can't keep the family glued together because you are just one person, but this makes me wonder what she is thinking while looking down on us from Heaven. Is she upset and sad that we aren't able to keep this one small promise that we'll keep in touch with each other or if she is just totally disappointed in us because we aren't trying hard enough to stay together after she is gone. I loved my grandmother but I have to wonder about the rest of my family. Are we giving up on each other too soon and just sliding from each other's finger tips, or is it that we never cared and now have no reason to try?
With Thanksgiving gone, next comes Christmas. A time for family to get together and enjoy each other's company. But you see, I see face the same dilemma with Christmas that I did with Thanksgiving. Will we be able to keep the promise to stay together or will we just let go of that promise and live alone with only our close, imitate family with us? If we continue like we are, we will never know each other and become complete strangers. Then what would become of us?
How many of you out there have had to question yourselves about this situation? How do you get over the distance that some have put up between you and themselves? Or do you? Will next year be easier because you lived through this first year, or does it get harder as time goes by? Is there any advice from you on how to over come this situation? I would really appreciate it if you could offer some. Thanks!

Steppin' Out
Don't'ch'a just love people who just can't seem to read the signs on the walls in public buildings? They also happen to be the ones that talk the loudest and seem to want everyone within hearing to hear what they are "trying" to say. How can you possibly be that full of yourself??? Not everyone likes to hear what other people are saying. Would rather not be brought into their convos at all but some how we are because it's hard to not hear what is being said when they talk so loud. Whatever happened to whispering in public and keeping what you say to yourself and those you are speaking to?

Pondering Self RESPECT
How many of us actually follow all the rules? Never breaking one no matter what other's may think of us? Well, I can honestly tell you, "I'm not one of those people." I don't think that kind of person exist. So here's what I'm pondering today: How can you get people to RESPECT the rules a facility has laid out for them if they consider themselves to be above it and everyone else? That rules don't apply to them. Sometimes I think they just can't read because there is a huge sign up on the walls stating rules and regulations for a certain building. then what if you aren't in the role to enforce the rules? Do you still say something or leave it alone? And if you leave it alone, how can you stop yourself from looking down your nose at those people for their unprofessional behavior? When every other word out of their mouths is "F- this, F- that, or G.d. this or G.d. that"? Isn't there something wrong with them? It's like they can't complete a sentence without using one of those words throughout the sentence. I, personally, think it's beyond uneducated and unprofessional for people to speak that way. It's up there with ignorance and just backwards.
The reason I ask this is because I was sitting in school today wondering how "professional" would look at some of the students walking around campus speaking "trash" like that. I would find it hard to hire someone who openly talks like that out in public. I know it's considered a "freedom of speech" but please, people, have some self respect. It's insulting to be sitting down somewhere and all you can hear is someone loudly speaking those words. If they have no respect for themselves I worry about the so called respect they would have for someone else.
Because lets face it; this country has gone to hades in a hay basket. No one seems to care that people are talking this way and no one seems to notice that their own children are beginning to speak this vulgar language. It's just sad that we live like this. That our morals and values have down slided so far that it just seems to roll off our backs like water to ducks.

Seeking Wisdom
Hello, out there. I have a few ponders I just wanted to word out to whomever actually reads my blog. If you feel you have specific advice on this subject, please feel free to offer a bit of it. Thanks.
How come it is that you never really understand and value a person until they are gone. Gone from existence and you aren't able to just pick up the phone and say, "hello, I have a problem" or just to ask their advice on something? Why is it that we always wait until the last minute to tell someone how we feel about them and most of the time it's too late? What is it that makes us so afraid to speak our feelings and thoughts aloud to our loved ones and friends???
And if, by some seldom chance, you aren't able to speak your thoughts and feelings in the right time, you feel so awful that you question everything that's happened in the past that did not allow you to speak up. You just sit there like a knot on a log and ponder what it was that kept you from taking charge.
I wouldn't go straight to calling people a coward, but sometimes that's what it looks like. You always think to yourself that there is always tomorrow, but you never think that no one is guarteed tomorrow. How come that kind of thinking isn't ingrained into us as children, young adults, older adults, etc?
Then, for us who have waited too long, how do we face our doubts and the wondering that's bond to occur? We find ourselves thinking that it would have been better to say what we were thinking and feeling and darn the consequences than to be stuck with this tremendous amount of quilt over not speaking up soon enough.
Are there any answers to these questions? Am I just wasting my time with speaking out loud my thoughts and feelings about regrets? How many people can actually say, "they don't have regrets?" NO one is my guess. [But] I'm sure someone out there will try. If so, how were you able to live life without regrets and actually be normal? And if not, how do we get over them and go on about our lives as if nothing has happened? I don't think you can. It will always been there and sitting in the back corners of our minds.
Impossiblie questions with no answers. My speciality. Thank You to whomever reads my blog.

Remembering Native Americans!
How many of us can actually say, "We are American Indians?" All my life I have heard how so many other people have had it bad in the course of our history, but I can honestly tell you, Native Americans have had it worse and still do. Those tribes that don't have casinos on their Reservations have rough, hard times. They fight for their old ways, yet, we [Americans] keep taking it from them. Just like in the old days of the Wild West.
You would think that people would get it through their heads not to take what isn't theirs, but they still do. They forget about promises made long ago to a brave nation of Indians and keep doing it today.
Since They [Native American Indians] withstood everything dished out from the numerous wars, illnesses, movement from settlement to settlement, we now ignore them and give them 3rd world living arrangements.
I, myself, am ashamed of the way they have been treated from the past and the way they are still treated now.
I'm not a full-blooded Indian, but I had ancestors who were. I don't see how we can possibly sit back and just watch them starve to death and just shrug it off and go about our daily lives. To me that's cruel and unusual punishment!!!
I wonder how fast things would change if we could turn things around? Let those in power live 1 full year out there and those in poverty on the reservations be in the positions of power. I wonder if they'll start to see things differently then? Oh, I bet they would!
Without their money, servants, homes, jobs, healthy food, transportation, power. I bet they wouldn't even last a week out there...maybe even a full 24 hours.
And Native Americans have been living like that for 100's of years. All the more to Native Americans!
I'll help the best way I can. How about any of the rest of you? Do I have any takers?
If we don't do something quick we may lose a wonder group of Americans who make our Country Unique and Fresh. I don't want that to happen.

A Lil' Venting Here and There is Good for the Soul!
Have you ever noticed how depression can come out of the blue and knock you for a loop? Well, I have. It's got to be our economy. Jobs are few and between and people are starting to get a lil' desperate about paying their bills.
Thinking of this also makes you ponder about the elections coming up in Nov. 2010. Can our smooth-talking officials actually do what they say they are going to do, or will they tank just like all the rest???
This is the question we all ponder as we take that long march in to vote at our registered locations.
Then again, if you don't vote, you have no place to grumble and complain when things aren't going like they should. But we all hear from them every year.
Also, you turn on the evening news and what do you see...? Employees from car dealerships drinking and smoking pot on their lunch breaks. I don't know about y' all but that infuriates me. Obama allowed the dealerships to have a cut on their "paybacks" and they repay the American Tax payers by drinking and smoking pot on their lunch breaks.
What about those of us who have to work our butts off for everything we have and they just sit in fancy offices and do nothing and get paid the big bucks.
Our "leaders" are killing the "little" people so the big people can get bigger. That isn't fair. But who on earth said life was fair, right?

Attention Americans!
Ladies and gentlemen,
I have heard [read] the most disstressing news. How come our leaders never follow thru with what they say during election year? We vote them in and then boom! Reality check, it's nothing like they said it was going to be.
For those of us who happen to live in North Carolina, our "wonderful" leaders have decided that our childrens education isn't important. That the money [we, the people put in for lottery tickets] will be better used in the place of taxes. I know our country is in debt, but please, lets not forget our children and their future! I mean, I don't have children yet but what of those who do? Now, because of the economic difficulties, they aren't going to get the best education because our state can't afford to pay for it. What is going to happen to them then???? - They'll go from selling drugs to expressing worse criminality traits and there will be no one to blame but our own state! Our own elected officials.
This worries me. I think we all should impeach the leaders we elected and start fresh and new with "new blood" in the offices. How do you all feel? However, I know this isn't a possiblity, but it's how I feel. I don't know if we are going to be able to continue with two more years of this.
Then again, our country is so far gone in some aspects there might not be anything new elected officials could do to bring us back in the positive. I, personally, hope and pray not but I'm worried about how things are going to turn out in 2012. Right now, they aren't looking so good to me.
What do you all think of our chances of turning our country around for the positive if we wait and watch and see what happens?

Coming Up To Speed
Well, hiya everybody! How are things out in internet space? My part of the space has been bland. Since I have graduated I have been searching for employment and that takes up a lot of time and then only to be told no one is hiring is such a blow to the ego sometimes. Our economy sucks! Everyone says, "[w]e're headed for another Depression." I don't know about y'all, but I don't want another Depression. People are struggling now as it is, I'd hate to see it get that worse.
I heard today about our 1st responders becoming ill because of 9/11. I never would have thought that they would be in that kind of danger trying to help those people in the World Trade Center in NYC. Some are finding they have attracted some kind of blood cancer now. 9 years after it happened and now they have to live through this too. I feel for them.
And now on the news in my home state...Florida! I hear there is a preacher that wants to burn the Muslim book...Q'uran [how do you spell that?] The "President" says that could put our Military men and women in danger. I'm not for that! To me it's childish, and I have family and friends over seas fighting in this War. I wouldn't want things over there to worsen because someone wants to burn a book of religion of those who we happen to be at War with in the first place. I, myself, wouldn't sink down to their level.
But on the other hand, we have people in this country burning the American Flag and disrespecting our religion and beliefs and they happen to be Muslim and living in this country. To me, if you don't like where you live and disrepect where you live you should get the hell out. Don't be on t.v. burning the country's flag and saying hateful things about the country and expect people in that country to think nice things about you, where you come from, or the religion you practice. It just doesn't work that way.
To get respect you must give respect. It's no longer something you get "just because". Those days are now over. At least down here anyway.
With all that said, we must learn to respect each other or no one will have the "Peace" we all say we want.

June!..alreay!
Hello all! ! - )
How is it that it's already June 2010?! I feel like I've been asleep and just now woke up to another year that is almost half way gone!
My favorite time of the year is Summer! I know it's just beginning but it always flies by. Everyone is heading off to the beach, mountains, vacation, etc and enjoying themselves before the long winter sets in once more.
No more school, test, quizes, etc. and we have 2 whole months of freedom to find ourselves and a summer tan before marching back to school.
Those of us who have graduated out there I wish to say "Congrats!" I don't know about you all but it's been a long, dragged out year. I'm thrilled to be finished with the numerous testing, snowdays, bickering of friends, and having people take money for this and that. I think it's been a long time coming.
Only thing about graduating is you never see your friends anymore. You now step out into the great big world of work/career and you are busy 24/7 with trying to fit in with your new environments.
With that comes the pushing "groveling" of trying to find a position in the world of our extremely bad and depressing economy. That is the part that has scared me the most.
Every where you turn, it's someone else being laid off and you, the student, having to brave the world of finding that spot that completes all your hard work and your professional goal(s).
IF - anyone out there actually reads these blogs, what kind of advice could you offer up to the "newbies" in the professional field when it comes to exploring the professional fields and how to "glide" into a position without too many bumps and bruises? Or is there a way? I'm inclined to believe there isn't. To each of us, our own. We just will have to learn from our mistakes and keep moving up the professional "ladder".
Well, my friends, I will have to talk to you more later. It's been nice.

Missing Grandmother
It's been a while since I last wrote and a million and one things have happened since then.
I've lost my grandmother. She was the back-bone of my family. Now that she is gone I don't know what we are going to do without her.
She helped our parents raise us [grandchildren] since our toddler years.
How do you get over losing someone that's been the glue that held your family for so long? Should people really rely on other's that way in life? It's getting easier, and I know she is in a better place, but I still miss her being here and talking to me and calling every night just to see how everyone is doing. Now that the calls aren't coming anymore, we see just how lonely life is without her.
I mean, she put up with a lot of pain to stay and the doctor's always said that she has out lived their expectation, but we still need her down here with us. But, I'm grateful to the 15 + years she stayed, loving us through all her pain just waiting until the time she knew we would be alright without her here with us, but it's still hard to over come such a loss.
Grandmothers are just like Mothers. No matter what you can't replace them with anybody else and to try is disloyal to their memories.
I'm glad she gave us tons of memories to remember her by and that she is a Guardian Angel in Heaven watching over us all. And no longer in pain.
This is what helps me get by when I'm missing my grandmother and wanting to talk to her.
Grandmother - 1942-2010 Loving Mother and Grandmother. Sadly Missed.

How do you get over losing someone that's been the glue that held your family for so long? Should people really rely on other's that way in life? It's getting easier, and I know she is in a better place, but I still miss her being here and talking to me and calling every night just to see how everyone is doing. Now that the calls aren't coming anymore, we see just how lonely life is without her.
I mean, she put up with a lot of pain to stay and the doctor's always said that she has out lived their expectation, but we still need her down here with us. But, I'm grateful to the 15 + years she stayed, loving us through all her pain just waiting until the time she knew we would be alright without her here with us, but it's still hard to over come such a loss.
Grandmothers are just like Mothers. No matter what you can't replace them with anybody else and to try is disloyal to their memories.
I'm glad she gave us tons of memories to remember her by and that she is a Guardian Angel in Heaven watching over us all. And no longer in pain.
This is what helps me get by when I'm missing my grandmother and wanting to talk to her.
Grandmother - 1942-2010 Loving Mother and Grandmother. Sadly Missed.

Why Can't We Be Friends?
Hiya everyone! I hope my blog finds you all doing well.
I, for one, can't say that. It's been a long day. I don't like Mondays. It seems like I have to work extra hard to keep from drowning in all the "stuff" that's been happening over the weekend and that will happen during the week. If you can call only 2 days a weekend. Ugh.
When I was younger I used to wish that someone would change the days around so we would only have to work, go to school only 2 days and our weekends would turn into 5 days. Oh, that would very much be the life! Oh, well. You can't get everything you wish for...or dream for in that matter.
Ahhh, school. School, for me, has been the most horrible in years. This semester it seems that if it could go wrong it has gone wrong. Everyone is acting like a bunch of pre-school babies. Fussing about this rule or that rule. And a few of them are in their 30's. I mean, come on, grow up! But, I won't bore y'all with the silly details, just that some people skipped years in growing maturity and kept right on aging. <- However, you say that.

Ranting about things...
I'm sure everyone has heard the saying, "You are who you hang out with..." Only, I don't always agree with it. Sometimes you don't have all there is to know about the story, then what? I prefer to hear both sides and then come up with my own decisions. So, I disagree with "tradition" as it pertains to this.
There are, afterall, 3 sides to every story. There is one side, the other side, and then the "right side." How come so many people miss that? Then if you are really technical, it depends on what side knows the "boss" in these situations on who is right or wrong. So unfair. But, this, is how our world works for some sad lil' reason. It's all about who you know, how you know them, and if you have something on them...those you know. It's sad to find out that our world actually spins around on this stuff.
I'll end with this...Why can't everyone just be friends, and live peacefully with one another? Any takers?

Looking forward to the weekend
Good evening y'all! How's everyone out there?
Welp, as always I'm looking forward to my weekend. I need a break from "work" and school. The closer it gets the more tense the school scene is for everyone...at least I guess so.
How many out there are actually enjoying this pollen we are experiencing? Is it me, or does it seem like it is worse this year? I don't remember ever having this kind of trouble with the "output" of that stuff.
Oh, now I spend my days dreaming about the ocean...which I hear we all on the East Coast might have an unusally active hurricane season this year because of the weird tempertures at sea. Ugh. Anyone else heard that?
I don't know which is worse...hurricanes or tornados? Anyone like to offer a suggestion?
I'm not crazy about either one mind you, but I've always wondered from those who have experienced both, which is the worse of the two.
So, anyways, what is there to do on the weekends now that mid-terms are over and Easter is over too. Most people go to the lake, river, beach, etc. What happens when you don't live near a respectable lake, river, or beach? What then? I'm not much on shopping...actually, I find it quite boring. All my money is "tied" up in school and gas! I can't believe it, although, I know I shouldn't complain. Some people have it a lot worse.
Where I live it's about $2.70 something. But, when you have a gas gussler, it's not fun to pay $50 just to fill up every couple of days.
Are there any vehicles out there that are actually good on gas and don't take $50 to fill up every couple of days? [laughing] I doubt it. Never mind.
Moving on...boy, it seems like I have a lot to talk about today, but geez, I can't seem to get it all out there. Unlike most of you people, I don't have children to talk about. The things they are doing, learning, saying, etc. I have nephews and nieces but I don't see them enough to actually feel a bond with them. My family isn't close. Actually, I don't know of any families that are close anymore. It seems like the traditions of families sticking together went out the window with all the laws that have been changed of late.
But, don't get me talking about these crazy, sad laws we have. This year it was the smokers and the Health Reform Act that got all the attention. I wonder what it's going to be next year. Any ideas out there???
Welp, I'm going to end here. Thanks for the replies if you left any. Bye.

Crunch Time
Hello, everyone! Whew! it's almost that time. I can finally see my graduation in the end of this long, drawn out tunnel. I can't believe it's finally here, actually...I've been nervous about this for so long, I'm shaking with fear. I'm going to be stepping out into that great, big world of ours, only equipped with the knowledge I have learned in class and my experience in my internship.
That is a lot of pressure on students. I'm already beginning to feel like I have not learned enough, study hard enough to face all the demands I'm going to have to meet out in this world. I know I have, but I guess this is just the "fear" talking to me. I can't stand that.
You go to school for 6-7 years and when it's finally time to receive your degree, you are so nervous that you start to second guess yourself. Does anyone else do that?
I fear I do it all the time when it comes to the life plan of school, starting a career, etc. Then again, I guess it could be a lil' good to be nervous about stepping out like that. I was never the lucky one, that had everything given to me.
But, anyway, onto something else...
How is everyone enjoying this weather? If, of course, you seem to have finally experienced Spring? I feel that Spring passed me by. It's still cold down here when I live. Well, not cold actually, just very windy. And those darn dogwood trees mess up your eyes because of the pollen and junk from them.

Blowing Off Steam!
Hello, everyone. How is everyone handling the new time zone we have entered? Ugh, let me tell you, it is kickin' my butt right now. I'm sooo sleepy. I can't see straight. I hate when the time changes, but I like this time zone better. More daylight. Not so depressing and dark.
Everyone, I made it back from my Spring Break in Washington D.C. I have never walked more in my life. Everything is so spread out. And, some guy at the metro center told us to go the wrong way and therefore, we went about 10 blocks away from our hotel. Creep!
Why would someone do that? I mean, do they sit people down at the Center and tell them to see just how many people they can lead a stray? Such a JERK!
OH, but I guess we gave 'em all a few big laughs around the dounut shop. You know, cops, security guards, etc. I thought their job was to help people, not make their lives miserable. But, it could be just me in that.
Other than being lead in the wrong direction, I guess as a whole it was fun. I, unlike some in my group, had been the D.C. before, so I didn't miss too much of the attractions. But there were some who opted to stay in their rooms and party all night and skip out on the sight-seeing. I won't tell any names, but we all know what they were doing.
That out of town, letting their hair down, so to speak, type situation. But if you are going to do something you can't do in your hometown, why go out of town to do it? If you are that ashamed of it don't put yourself through it. That would be stupid to me.
Then again, I wouldn't want to be the type that has to look over my shoulder because I went a lil' wild while out of town with "classmates" during Spring Break!
We also had some conflicts about that too. Everyone shows their true colors when they are out of town. From students to "so called" preachers.
So if a "preacher" said something to you about having the "dirt" on someone, what would your reaction be? Especially, if you weren't even talking to the "preacher" in the first place. Would it not make you wonder what that person did if they felt threatened by what you [yourself]said while talking to another individual? I know it did me, my friend.
Well, whatever. Everyone to their own, I guess. Besides, what is that saying we are taught in grade school?...talk is cheap. But of course it is. You don't get paid and no one charges you money to speak your mind. It's in the Constitution - 1 Amendment to the Bill of Rights.
Unless of course, people are feeling we should do away with such a lovely right. I; however, do not! I love being able to speak my mind when I like. How many people can honestly say they are able to say what is on their mind and not have to worry about the consequences of the actions? I am proud I can!!!
Well, anyways, I'm back in school now that our Spring Break is over. Sadly, we all had to face this drastic Monday Morning at school and hope and pray for the best...which we are given. But, hey, at least spring is in the air! The weather is finally warming up and soon everyone will be going to the beaches on the weekend and the movers and shakers will be going away for a while too. Oh, yes! I can't wait!!!
My favorite time of the year is almost upon us! Summer with traveling, swimming at the pool and just lazing around doing nothing. Yea, that's the life.
Thanks for "reading" my steam. Not many can put up with me - blowing off steam.

Getting it out there
Hello everyone. Has everyone read the new going's ok today? Well, it seems that Okla, is having trouble. What's up with their whining over the Ten Commandments?
That's where we get all of our laws!!
Like Duh!
How can we, as citizens stand quiet and watch while they do this...take away everything that this country [AMERICA] stands for?! When will we start to fight for our rights as citizens and CHRISTIANS?! Can anyone answer me that?
We've taken on the mentality that we want everyone to like us, but to heck with that. We need everyone to start to stand up for what they believe in and fight for what we know is right!
I mean lets face it, this country is going to hades in a hay - basket. We aren't facing good times, we are fighting bad times. Look around you! All these disasters keep happening and we just let the opportunity pass us by, by not standing on our own two feet and fighting for what we believe in!!!
I live in America, and I'm free to speak my mind, but sometimes we have to take a stand and just say what is on our minds! I'm tired of hearing the older generations say things were a lot better when they had prayer still in school and everyone wasn't out to get one another. I'm tired of hearing about the "good ol' days" when everyone went to church and stood up for what they believed in. What was this country made for, if not for fighting for what we, as citizens, know is right and just?
How can we allow our children to face the future we are showing them by not standing up and speaking our minds on this situation? I know I would like to live in a country that believes in morals and values!
Besides, what can a monument of the Ten Commandments really hurt? Now you are treading on my Religious beliefs and I don't appreciate it one bit!!!
Is there anyone out there that believes what I believe? That we have to start standing up for our beliefs or they won't be acknowledged anymore? All I know is we have to do something. Everything this country stood for is going out the windows.
Tell me what you think.
That's where we get all of our laws!!

BSing Around #2
False alarm. Sorry about that.
So, back to what I was "chatting" about. I sorta cut it short because of computer difficulties.
lol...guess what, I forgot where my train of thought was leading me earlier. Start a new convo about something. Quick.
Ah, yea, homework. That and test are two things about school I could do without. Just to have 'em wrote out of schools everywhere would be a blessing!!! :-)
Leaving in a few weeks to go on vacation...but instead of going to a place that is warm, I'm headed in the opposite direction. North. Where there is snow on the ground and people are having to bundle up tight just so they don't freeze to death while walking to and from their cars. And this from a person who can't stand cold weather and snow. Makes me sound like I don't know what I like or dislike. Maybe confused is a better word for that, huh?
P.S.
I'm sorry this blog and the other one before it doesn't make too much sense. I'm too tired to care, so please, over look it.
Adios.

BSing Around
Hiya y'all. How's it hangin? I'm tired of working on my homework, so I decided I would log on and type a while...just to have something to do.
Oh, by the way, we are suppose to have more snow tomorrow. Is anyone out there actually enjoying this mess? I can tell ya now, I'm not. It's too cold for snow and yet it snows. Doesn't make much sense to me, but w/e.
So, is there anyone besides me looking forward to Summer time? I enjoy the hot weather and love hangin' out at the beach or pool. Laying out and listening to the music and just having fun. Sounds too "teeny-bopper" for some, I know, but I enjoy it.
Are there any people on this "thing" from Florida? I would like to receive some interesting news from home, if anyone would be so nice as to provide it. Yes, peoples, I'm still homesick. I can't seem to have my cake and eat it too sometimes.
Ut-Oh, it seems I may be having trouble with the auto-save. I may have to "split" for now.

chatting away!
Welp, my friends, it is yet another day. I can't wait for my weekend to begin again. I can't stand the long week days. They crawl by while my short weekend flies.
I am not, however, looking forward to the crazy snow/ice we are suppose to get down here in the South. Did anyone happen to have fun in the snow in the southern states? I had a short, and I mean short, snowball fight with my youngest brother and a friend and her son. In the parking lot of a restaurant. Sounds interesting. I never even stopped to think about getting arrested either. Hit someones car too. That's when I started to feel a lil' nervous about the police showing up.
But, Lucky for me they didn't. Or I would be sitting behind bars right now because my family would never bail me out of that kind of situation.
Don't'ch'a just love families?! :-)
I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but I'm beginning to find that I am running out of topics in which I can safely talk about. My mind/brain has drawn blanks and I can't figure out how to unblock them.
Does anyone have any ideas that might help me out some? I would appreciate it greatly! Thanks!
Oh, yes, sorry for the slang...I'm Southern. However, when I speak I sound educated.

Day from hades
Welp, it's finally happened again. I wake up late and have to get off to work, school and what do I do?
I forgot I had my professional shoes on the trunk of my car and drove off with them there. I got about a mile and half before they fell off. So I had to drop my lil' brother off at the high school and promptly race back to my house to try and find my one dress shoe. But get this...on the trunk that morning I laid my two shoes, brush, umbrella, and purse. Of all that, only that one shoe disappeard while I was moving down the road.
As I think on it now it's funny, but as it was happening it wasn't. I was mad and upset, because I thought I would have to go buy some more shoes before having to be at "work" before 8:30 that morning. There would have been no way on God's green earth I would have been able to pull that feat off.
My biggest fear was being late and getting "chewed" out by my supervisor. Ugh. I hate things like that. Besides, I made it with a minute to spare. :-)
But, of course, bad times love company so my day was shot to hades for the rest. School was ok, everything considered. I mean it could have always been worse, right?
I try to remember that.
Anyways, I was just enlighting everyone on my terrorific day. I, personally, hope I don't have another one like that again.

But, of course, bad times love company so my day was shot to hades for the rest. School was ok, everything considered. I mean it could have always been worse, right?
I try to remember that.
Anyways, I was just enlighting everyone on my terrorific day. I, personally, hope I don't have another one like that again.

Catchin' Up
Well, hello, again. I hope y'alls weekend was fun. Mine wasn't. I finally caught that 24 hr. virus that's going around down here.
I went to see my g'mother, whom is doing better, thanks for all the warm wishes, and I had to leave. I didn't even get to see her.
We [my family] and I are hoping she'll be coming home soon. It's hard to travel a long ways to see family when you have school and homework and "other" duties you have to do no matter what!
It drives me bonkers, but I guess everything does that. Not that I'm complaining too much.
[...]
I woke up this morning and realized that this month is almost over. Can you believe that?! Where is the time going? I seem to have lost some along the way and I would like it back. All my life my mother told me "I was wishing my life away". Well now I guess she's right. Or is it that she said that made it happen? One will never know these answers. Sadly.
Now that I'm older I am noticing that she was right. Funny how mothers know everything when you are younger. Not fair either.
And for some crazy reason I find myself having the strangest cravings. I'm wanting greek food...gyro to be exact. I haven't had one of those in so long i wouldn't know how to eat it. <-> Just being funny.
But boy, don't they taste good. Yummy. Just sitting here typing about it is making me hungry. Not a good sign.
I now find myself having to keep up with not one, not two, but three journels. I'm going to be going crazy in the very near future. How can anyone keep life straight when they are having to write in 3 different journels? I wonder how long I'll last. I'm not placing bets or anything but it would be funny to see who would win that bet.
lol

Snow in the South
Welp, it's finally happened again. We have snow and ice in the Southern states. I don't know about anyone else, but I can't stand this snow/ice. It's too cold, can't go anywhere and you have to worry about power lines going down and your power shutting off. I'm not into all that either.
I live in the South in hopes of never having snow, ice, sleet, etc. I'm not a cold weather person. I love the heat with its 100 degree weather. I can always get cooler, but for some reason not warmer. Besides I love to swim. All I have to do is traveling to a pool and I'm happy during the summer months. Unless of course I'm working during my swim time. boo hoo.
Funny, how everyone can be different in one house-hold. My family loves the snow and can't wait to get out and play in it. I could understand when we were children, we were too young to care if the weather outside was cold, or if the power got turned off because of the freezing rain, and power lines fell. We were just living in the moment. Oh, how I would love to be that young again, but not for the snow. Just for me. To have no worries, no responsibilities. Oh, yea. I would be living good then.

What I'm thinking
What I'm thinking. Yea, I guess that would be a great title for this lil' bomb shell. It is rumored that we are going to get a winter mix. I'm not big on snow to this weekend should be very interesting. Actually, I hate snow. It's a wet cold and I'm not too happy about being cold for any length of time. No matter the situation.
That is why I live down south, so I won't have to put up with the cold and snow. That's a northern thing. But, living up here has changed my views on a lot of things. I used to think snow was so pretty when I was a child until I realized that it is actually cold and sometimes you lose power because of this pretty snow on the ground. Not my idea of sharing fun with family and friends growing up in North Carolina.
I'm really just typing because I wanted to say, "Thank YOU for helping my grandmother get well in the hospital." She's doing pretty good, and sounds to be doing well too.
Welp, I've got to go for now. Thanks for listening [reading] what I wrote.

Missing Home
How many people out there grew up away from the place you call "home?'' I did.
Now I'm not talking because your parents were in the Military either. I mean one day your parent(s) packed you up and drove away from the only place you've ever known as home and you haven't been able to move back.
You know the saying, "Home is where the heart is?" Well, mine is in Florida for some reason. Don't ask me to explain it because I won't be able to. It's just one of my quirks. This lil' statement has drove my family "bananas" for years.
I mean you grow up and become adults but you always feel that you are missing something. You never can put your finger on it, but you know it's there to say the least.
Am I going crazy and bananas along with my family? Or am I getting some where with this?
Is there really a special place that we are all meant to be, or is our paths already figured out and we just have to find it? Complicated to sit and ponder this day in and day out.
Maybe my cold meds is starting to make me sound funky because now I can't make heads or tails of this... Anyways if anyone happened to have read this, thx. I sure hope I didn't make you any more confused about life than me.

Learning way around
Hello, everyone! I hope my blog finds you doing well. I wish I could say the same for me. My family is facing a hard time. I have a relative in the hospital and would like to ask you all to pray for her.
I highly doubt I'll get any "followers" but just being able to type and get my thoughts out of my head will help tremendously. Thanks.
