A Friendly Favor.

Favors.It's a great thing, ain't they. Helping someone out in their time of need is always a good thing.It shows not only what kind of a person you are but that you care. Me I would rather show someone that I care about them by doing a favor for someone,than to give them presents of something like that.

Today has been a great day,because someone really stepped up and helped me out,when they did not have too. See last blog I told you that my dear,dear computer was sick. Well I am happy to report that my computer is no longer sick. A man that works in the same building with me helped me out. He did me a favor and fixed my computer. Not only and I so grateful that it is fixed,but I am also so thankful that he did this for me and at no charge to me.

He didn't have to do this for me. He could have easily just simply said no,but he didn't. So now that he fixed my computer for me and for free at that,I think it only best to help him out when he needs it or if he would ever need it.

I don't know that this guy will ever need a favor,but I am right there when and if he does. Like I said before favors are good to give and receive. I have always been brought up to believe that if someone does a favor for you than you need to return the favor. Well,hopefully I can someday.

Me And Technology.

If I have said it once I have said it twice,I am technology challenged end of story. For the life of me, I can't figure out what the heck I am doing when it comes to technology. I have a laptop computer. I love my laptop,but sometimes it act's up. Just like all computers it has troubles and faults but I still love it.

Just the other day, I found out my computer was sick. It has a virus,yeah for me. Me being the stubborn one,I simply tried to get the virus off my computer. Come to find out I was doing more harm than good.That's what I get for trying to get my computer well again.

Me and Technology has never been friends,even when it comes to something as simple as my cell phone,I still have trouble with it. Over the last couple of years or so,I have been getting a little better with technology,but still I am not the best.

I just wish that one day, I would not be so computer challenged. Hopefully,my computer will be ok. I have to take it in to get the virus off,but luckily someone that I work in the same building with is doing this for me so I will not have to pay and arm in a leg. Wish me and my laptop luck all,we are going to need it.

The Game Plan.

Can you imagine yourself 10 years down the road?Can you even imagine what you will be doing? It's so far away,but still I think about things like this. I think about what my life will be like and how it will all work out.

Now,I know that I say sometimes not to plan your life away but sometimes on occasion I like to think about what if will be like. Will I be married(Hopefully). Will I be successful and will I have a family of my own again (Hopefully).

These and some other question is what I ask my self everyday,that and what will I look like in 10 years. I can't even think about what my life will be like in 10 years.Can you?It's so funny to think about it,because everybody has different perspectives on what the world will look like in the future. I am not worried about it at all but it is just different to think about it.

I think my conclusion on this subject is this: I think that 10 years from now I Will be married with a college degree. I image my self to be very successful and have a good head on my shoulders. As far as what the future will look like,I'm not sure. I can't tell the future so I don't know. I am not sure I want to know the future right now. I think for right now it's best to leave it as a surprise. It's always more fun that way.

Another Update Story.

Yesterday I wrote a post on well the crappy day I was having yesterday. Let's just put it this way,it was not a good day,not a good day at all. Well I am happy to report today that my day has gone wonderful.

Today is a completely different day.It's as if the sun has come out and dried up the flood. I had a great day today and I am hoping that tomorrow is even better than today. Everything was wonderful and went exactly as I had imagined it would.

I think that yesterday,I was looking at the glass half empty. I just had a really bad day. See,every time that I have an off day,I try to make since of it. I try to figure out why I am having a bad day and turn it around.

I guess that is the best thing to do when you have an off day. I really believe that once you find out what the problem is than you can really put it behind you after you deal with it. If you don't deal with it and just keep it all bottled up than you are going to crack, so I personally do what ever I have to do deal with my problem. That is why I wrote my sad post yesterday. Like I said thanks to everyone that read my post. I am doing much better today.

PS: Thanks to Ruth for the kind words. I really needed someone to actually care. That and thanks for the HUG. It really helped.

My Life.

Today I am not going to have a good post. I am not having a good post just because today has been so bad. I am really trying to stay positive with things but I am just not having a good day. Everything that could have happen today did,and I do mean everything. I just feel like I want to lay in my bed with the covers pulled over my head and just simply cry. In fact I am so mad at myself today that I think I will do just that. I hate days like today. It's no excuse for it. Normally I would give an excuse for my weird behavior today but today I'm not.I just am having an off day today,THAT is what is going on. Well,like I said today is not a very happy post but if I don't write something and keep everything bottled up I am just going to scream. I just have to let it out so I am sorry in advance if this post is bad. I really just don't care,like I said I just want to sit and cry. Well lets hope tomorrow is better. Not only for me but for my blog.

WOW, I could really use a someone right now. I really need to just talk to someone today about evrything. That and I could really use a hug. Really Bad.................................

The Little Blessing.

In just a little over a week I am going to a baby shower. Now,the shower that I am going to,is for a close personal friend of the family. She is just a very sweet girl. My family is trying to get her everything she needs for the baby and hopefully she will be set for when the baby comes.

Today,when I went shopping for the baby,I was looking up and down all the isles for things . She is having a boy so I needed to get her things that would represent a boy. First of all, I don't have any children so I didn't know a lot of what to get her. I mean,I knew the basic things like dippers,and clothes,and things like that, but apparently there are a lot more things that a baby needs other than those things.

Let me start off by saying that I am kind of envious of the children these days. When I was a little baby they didn't have the things that they do now. Just like today when I went out, I seen a pass afire that has a thermometer on the end of it. That is just cool, but still when I was a baby you didn't have them in a combination,they were two different things. Walking down these isles,I was amazed at some of the things that they had out there for baby's. Like I said I am just so envious of these things.

Bringing a life in this world is just a blessed event. It is something that happens,and when it does it is a blessed event and a joyful event. I hope this baby has a great life and grows up to be what ever it want to be in life. I love doing all this shopping for these kinds of events,but I just didn't know that baby's needed so much. Well at least now I know. I also know that this kid is going to be so spoiled. Not only by me( I just love children) but by my whole family. We are so ready for this child and it's not even ours. Come on Baby.

Caught In The Act.;

Tonight is going to be a little different. Today Instead of a regular post I'm going to show you some pictures that I took. This is my half way of doing a post. I am just so tired and dead on my feet to write so this is how I'm going to do it. Then towmorry,I am back on track.

All these photo's are just so special to me. These are just some of the photo's that I love. There are many more. These are just animals caught in the act of everyday life.

Enjoy.

Decorative Spirt.

I love to decorate. Each Holiday is special to me. There is Easter and Christmas,New Years Eve and day,Thanksgiving,and the closest one right now Halloween. I love to decorate for Halloween it's always fun.

Decorating is so fun. For me it just puts me more in the mood not only for the holiday but for the season. Now that's it getting ready to be Halloween before too lone I am starting to put my pumpkins and leaves and fall things out.

I get new things all every year to put out. I just love how I get to decorate the house and see smell the all the beautiful scents of fall. It always smells so good in the fall. The colors are beautiful and it's just a really beautiful time to be outside. I was so excited this year because one of my favorite things to decorate with this time of year was pumpkins. So this year my boyfriend this year surprised me and got me so many pumpkins to decorate with. Big ones,small ones,tiny ones,and huge ones. They are just so pretty and amazing.

I think for me the greatest thing is just to be in the spirt of the season that you are in. Be proud of it.We all have different holidays that we like and love. Halloween is not my absolute favorite,that is Christmas(but that is a totally different post). I just like Halloween because it brings back so many memories of when I was a child and how we would celebrate the fall and what all decorations we would put out. The only thing that I can say is Come on and lets start the fall. Yeah for fall.

PS:This is one of the Pumpkins that I got to decorate with. I just love it.

Age Dosen't Matter.

For the past couple of weeks things have been well, to say the least quite interesting. See,I have a friend that I have known for at least 6 years if not longer. She is a good friend,but just like any friendship we tend to fuss and fight.What can I say were normal.

For the past couple of weeks she has been going through quite a lot. See she is having well,lets say issues to say the least with this new guy that she has been seeing. Now,I am not going to get all love crazy with this blog but for the past coupe of weeks she has been telling me about him. One of the problems that she is having with him is his age.Don't get me wrong it not like he is 20 or 30 years older than she is, he is only 5 years older than she is.

I am really not sure what the big deal is or anything. I mean it's not like she is going to marry the guy anytime soon,they just meet. I don't know why people and especially women have issues with age. I am not saying all women have this problem. Some women like for there other to be a little older. Me I think God that my boyfriend is a little older than I am. He is 22 and I am 20 so nothing horrible, but he is still older.

The way I think about it is this. Age is just a number. Yes I know we all get older but just like I said before,Age is just a number. It's nothing we can do about it, so we should just stop worrying about our age. Be proud of your age. Own It. Be happy with your age. We should not be so worried with age and instead look at our inner beauty, instead of a persons outer beauty.

I really have a great friend,and the way that I think of it is this. All friendships have little fights in them. You could be the best of friends and you still will fight. This is just a stepping stone in our path of friendship,and I know that once we get past this,we will be back and better than before.This one little fight is not going to brake up a friendship that has lasted us years.If this stops us from being friends than that tells me that our friendship was not the strongest in the first place.

Battle Scars.

I've never been the one to whimper about getting hurt. I was very much clumsy growing up so I hurt myself all the time. I was use to falling down or bumping into something. Like I said I clumsy so it didn't surprise my self when I did something like that. Now,I whimper when I get hurt.

Today I got hurt at a work. I hurt my hand very bad and it is already swollen. I refuse to go to the doctor because I am not paying for someone to tell me it's just a bruise. I probably need an x-ray of it. In fact I know I need an X-ray for it because a family friend who is an medic with the rescue squad told me so.But I refuse to go. I hate hospitals and doctors,They freak me out.

I know how I did it this time. I got my hand shut in a metal door. I didn't do it thought. A co-worker didn't realize that my hand was in the door and when she went to go shut it I had my hand right there and boom there you go.

I don't know maby I should go to the doctor. I already have it wrapped so maby that will be ok. Maby I will just wait until the morning and see if it's ok then. I am stubborn. I wish that I could be like when I was little and just not whimper but it really,really hurts. Oh well It will stop hurting in a while I guess. Hopefully.

Give Me That Look.

Does anybody else get embarrassed when your parents or grandparents get out the old pictures of when you were a child to show your family or in my case my boy friend? Well I do.

I remember the first time my boyfriend came over to my grandparents to eat dinner with them and me. Right after dinner the first thing they did was started showing him the old baby photo's and home made dvd's of when I was little.

That has to be the one of the most embarrassing things that I have ever had to go through. Me sitting with my face as red as Rodolph's nose,watch my boy looking at these photo's and laughing at them. There is nothing more embarrassing to a child when your boyfriend or girl friend comes over and your parents or who ever show them your baby photo's and dvd's and even worse,your naked baby photo's .

I wasn't the worst looking child growing up..... Actually growing up I was very cute and adorable if I do say so my self. I just didn't like having my picture taken at all and I still don't. I should be use to it by now just because I get my picture taken all the time with friends and family but I still hate when I have to have them done.

Our Parents don't do this to hurt us or embarrass us,Well defiantly not hurt us. I just think that they like to do this so that our other half can see what we were like growing up. It's kind of mean I think to do this and for me so embarrassing but I got to think of it this way,at least it's not the naked baby photos.Those are so much more embarrassing. We all have those photo's that we just hate of our self's. I don't like my photos but at least we have them. It's memories that last a life time and that keep growing.

Laught Out Loud.

You know what I have come to realize, not only in the world,but in life all together,is that not everybody laughter's at the same thing. We don't all think that the same things are funny. What I find funny may not be as funny to everyone else.

See,I love to laugh and have fun. Heck it makes the day and the world go by so much better and smoother. I just think in general people take the world to serious.If you have ever watch the news or read the paper,you know what I am talking about. I see all the time where people are doing something or people will say something that is meant for a joke and take it way out of contact. We just don't know how to laugh anymore, that or we just plain forgot.

Take for example me. Where I go to school at people are always joking with me. Do I get mad,No I just play along and laugh back at them. I don't get mad because I know it was meant as a joke and not to hurt me. Like I said,I know what one person finds funny may not be as fun or not funny to another person,but would a little laughter hurt us.

Come on now. If we can't laugh or joke or giggle or smile at things than this world is going to be a pretty messed up place. I think that everyone should take just a couple minutes out of there day everyday to just laugh or smile at something or someone. It makes for a better and much better week.

Kitchen Wars.

For centuries people have been fighting over who cooks better at one thing or another. I know my family has those wars. One person always thanks that they can cook this better or that better than another person. It's like world war 4 in my house,especially now that the holidays are coming around.

See back a while ago I had told you all that I love to cook. I cook everything from Pastries to the main coarse. I am cooking even more now that the holidays are upon us. I am especially making things with pumpkin in them n0w that Thanksgiving is so near us. The only thing that I hate about the holidays is when there is a bunch of us cooking at one time and everyone thanks that their food is better than another persons cooking.


We all have are own way of cooking,some better than others,but we all cook different ways and no two people's things taste the same,well at least to me they don't. I don't know why people have food wars over whose taste better. It seems to happen every year around the holidays at my house.


Don't get me wrong,it's not like it is a big deal or anything and it doesn't stop us coming together with our family or friends but the war just happens when they are cooking together. I love all the food my family makes,well almost all the food my family makes. I couldn't care less who makes what,the most important thing to me is that we all gather together and celebrate together as one.

So, Happy Holidays Everyone,Lets get ready for 2011.

The Force.

We have all done something out of habit. Weather it's just something small like biting our nails or mixing up things. It can also be something as bad as smoking(Which is a horrible thing to do),but we have something that we have done out of habit. Me I carry things off.

It's like I will have something in my hands or pick up something and just carry it off into another room or even lay it down some where and forget where I put it. It's like I have a little voice in my head and it's telling me to carry things off. I don't know why for the life of me that I do it but I do.

Call it a nervous habit,or call it what you will,me I call it "Force Of Habit". I have done it for years and still can not figure out why I do it. It's like I have to have something in my hands 24/7 then when I have something in my hands,doesn't matter what it is I will just carry it off and it's never seen again. Poof,just like that gone.

Anyways,I know we all do it from time to time. I know it's not just me,thank god. I am trying to brake my silly habit,but it's going to take a while. Now that I have said my habit,tell me yours. .

Wishing,Wishing,Wishing.

Ok,so I know that I'm guilty of this,we all are once in a while,wishing the week away. The other day at work I was listening to the radio when I heard some people talking about this. They were saying that people everyday wish the week away. It doesn't matter for what reason or what your doing through the week,we all one time or another wish the week away.

The question they were asking is why?Why do people wish the week away,what is the reason behind it.

I'm as guilty of doing this as well as the next person.Sometimes I wish the week away 2 to 3 times a week. Think about it. Mondays everyone hates because well it's just Monday. Tues,Ok but no prize,Wed,well their is nothing to be said about Wed,Thur ok,well getting their, Fri is great because it's the start of the weekend,Sat is the greatest time, that is the time where you should spend it with your family and friends,Sundays is a day of rest and a day to get ready for Mondays when you have to get ready for work or in my case college again.

I don't think that we should wish the week away at all. I mean really we need to enjoy the week. We have to deal with it everyday of our lives so why not make the best of it. Yes,you may be tired and so existed that you feel like you can't go on with the week,but you have to so just make the best of it and get on with it. Stop trying to wish the week away and instead just have fun. Take it easy or at least try too,and that way you can have fun on Friday and Saturday.

My favorite day of the week is Saturday. I just love that day of the week for some reason. Yes,sometimes I have to work,but for me it is just a relaxing day of the week. The week can be bad but it can also be good. So try to stay of the positive side of the week and not on it's bad side.

Practice Makes Perfect.

How many times do you have to do something before you get it right?That is the question that I need to ask. Is it a certain amount of times you have to do something, before you get it right or is that you practice and practice until you get it right?

It's a question that I ask my self everyday. It's a though that I get up with and go to bed with at night. It's a simple question to some and a difficult question to others. See recently I have had a couple of new things that I have to do that,Well lets just say I don't do perfect. I know how to do them,like dealing with people or dealing with "difficult" people but still I don't handle some of those situations very well sometimes.

I deal with people on a daily bases. I mean I am around people 24/7 so how is it that when I get around people and they want to be difficult I tend to not handle the situation very well sometimes. Don't get me wrong,I love people really I do. I am a total people person,It's just that sometimes some people tend to rub me the wrong way. I am really trying to correct myself and practice dealing with difficult people better in everyday life

When I was growing up and even now my family would always say the way you deal with people is you "Kill the with kindness"which means show them that your not going down to there level.It makes sense don't go to their level. I also hear people telling me that Practice Makes Perfect. So maby if I keep trying to work with people than maby I will get better. So,Does anyone else that Practice Makes Perfect or is just me?

Late Night Confessions.

Tonight is going to be a kind of short post because well,I am beat and I just want to hang out on my bed and maby fall asleep. Tonight's post is going to be different. Tonight's post is going to be about things that are on my mind,I have a whole list of things so sit back and hold on tight,cause it's going to be a long list.

1.) The first thing that is on my mind is, how is it that when I am in line somewhere it takes me forever to get through the line. The reason that it takes me forever to get through lines is because people can't decide anything these day. Here's an idea people don't be so picky. Just get what you need and be done with it.

2.)Why is it that when I meet a new person for the first time I feel so shy?Why can't I just feel well,normal?Maby it's just me,but I always do. That and I never know what to say to people sometimes.

Well isn't this funny, I can't think of anything else that is on my mind tonight. I surprised myself,I didn't have as much on mind that I thought I did. Well any ways,thanks for listing.I promise toworry's post will be so much better.

The Fall Upon Us.

Well Fall is finally coming. This is the season for baked goods and pretty colors,and that little nip in the air that I just love. Fall is also the time for candy which means Halloween is going to be upon us very soon. I love to give out candy and see all the little kids dressed up in their costumes. It brings back so many memories of when I would dress up as a child and go treating.

Like I was saying I really like the fall,it's not my favorite season,my favorite season is winter but I do like fall. I like fall because fall is when you get to start making all those amazing smelling baked goods,like pumpkin pie,or pumpkin rolls(Which are amazing). It's also the time where you get to look forward to the holidays to start. First Halloween,then Thanksgiving,then in winter Christmas and New Years Eve,And New Years Day so we have a lot of holiday to get to look forward too.

I just love the colors of fall as well. I love to see all the leaves fall off the tree's and I love when I go out side and get to feel that little bit of nip in the air. It's just enough of a cool wind where you need a light jack and sneakers . Me I where flip flops all year long, that or go bare foot,but that is just me.

Fall is a great season. It has so many positive things about it. I think that Halloween is a big thing for me. That is one of the main reasons why I like it. I get to decorate the house(I am a big decorator and hand out candy on Halloween candy. My first Halloween costume was a vampire. I had the fangs and cape. I loved it. So what was your all's first costumes?

Getting Active.

Today I was watching a show called "The Half -Ton Teen". This show was talking about how so many people,not just kids but adults are obese. This show really got me thinking. It got me thinking about what I eat and what I do.

I am guilty of it,like we all are sometimes. We are all guilty of over eating or just eating badly sometimes either because we are stressed or just for the plain fact that we are hungry. I know for me I eat when I am stressed(Which I should not do,but I do). I know it is not healthy to eat junk food but I do.

I try to be a healthy person. I go to the gym and dance and try to be as active as I can but there are some days where I just don't have the time to work out. I always feel guilty when I can't work out but then I pay for it later when I look in the mirror. See I think that the reason that kids and adults are getting to be obese these days are because we are not active enough. Yeah part of it has to do with what we eat but then the other part of it is because we do not get up and move anymore. We don't run or jump or dance or walk or do anything anymore.

Me personally I have to get up and be doing something most of the time. I just can not stand it when I have to sit still for hours at a time. It just drives me crazy,I just don't know how people do it. I am not saying that we all have to be a size zero so please don't miss interpret me,but I am just saying we should all get active. Remember not only will it make us feel good about our self's but it makes us in better health. So lets all get up and be as active as we can.

The Active One.

I must plea the 5th. I have never been the real sporty type. I like to watch it sometimes if I am waiting for one of my favorite show to start but I have really never like to play them. To say the least I am not very sporty.

As I have said before in many of my post I am a bit different. Now when I say different,I don't mean weird different,but just a good different. Growing up I was never really the girly type. I didn't like pretty pink bows and I didn't like to dress up,except when I had too. To say the least I was not a girly,girly at all. I really wasn't really a tom boy either. I didn't play sports except baton,which was not for me at all and I wasn't on any kind of team.

I grew up in a house hold that loved sports. My grandfather just loved sports. He still does. He has even collected baseball cards and football cards for all of us in the family so I should just love sports,but for me I just don't find them very interesting .I don't see what the big deal is about them.With me,I will play soccer or basketball by my self or with a friend,but never on a team.

I don't know maby why I don't like sports. It just has never bothered me. I mean,I can understand why people like them,but I just don't like them. If I had to watch them on TV I would but I would never in a million years,play on a team. Anyways, I know I don't like or understand them,so tell me what your favorite sport is that you like,that is if you have one.

Remember 9/11

9/11 will be with us all tomorrow. It's a day of remembrance and sorrow. It's a time where we remember those who died that faithful day. 9/11 affects everyone in someway. Even if you don't live in the states it still affects who we are.

9/11 was so a horrible,horrible day. It's a day where thousands of people died. Men,women,fire fighters,business people,mom's dad's,ect. Can you imagine saying good bye to a love one in the morning and thinking they will be home that day,then finding out there are gone. Just like that,just gone.

Think about where you were that day,on 9/11. Where you out with friends,or spending it with loved ones, maby you were at work or school. I know that when I first found out about 9/11 I was in a class room learning math. I was young so I didn't know what it was all about,now I understand. It's something that I will never forget,ever in my life. Seeing everybody cry for the loss of a loved one,or just crying for the shock of what was happening. It didn't really affect me then,but it does now. I have a family friend that is like a big brother to me. He joined the national guards and is getting ready to go to his 3 tour in the war. He did it because of 9/11 and so I wouldn't have too.

So maby 9/11 didn't affect you then,but it should. When I think of how many people died that day it just makes me very,very sad. See,people think that now that 9/11 is over we should forget. That not the case. We need to remember what happened that day. We also need to think our men and women in uniforms. The soldiers,fire fighter,police,medics,ect. If I can ask people to do one thing it's don't forget. And Instead thank a soldier,or the fighters,or police,or medic,ect.

Wants And Needs.

Growing up I always heard people telling me that I had to separate my wants from my needs. Now,of coarse I had no Idea what that meant but I smiled and listened anyways,because well you should always listen to what people tell you.

Anyways, I always heard that around my house. I really had no Idea what that meant. It wasn't until I got a bit older till my family told me that what it really meant when someone said to separate your wants from your needs. They told me that it meant that in life there are things that a person needs in life to survive,like food,or water,clothes, and a home.Then there are things that people want to have like a million dollars,or jewelry or expensive things,just things like that.

Now that I have been on my own since I was 18 I have come to realize that the things that my family and friends told me when I was young really was true.I have come to realize that I really do need to separate my wants from my needs now. I mean between paying for my college things and my rent for my place and my car and phone and food I really need to be careful with my money.

Now that's not saying that I don't go shopping. I actually go shopping quite often,I went shopping today actually,but rather that I need to manage my money and my finances carefully and responsible. Now I know what my parents and grandparents were trying to teach me all along.

A Day Of Rest.

Finally after a long 4 and a half weeks of working straight I finally get a day off tomorrow. I can not wait. It is going to be so amazing to just have a day to myself. A day to relax and a day to just gather my thoughts. Which Is really what I need to do.

Now don't get me wrong, I love this job, It's truly amazing. I get amazing hours and an awesome pay check. Which I can't complain. I love the people that work there and everyone is just so nice a friendly with me and to each other. Yeah we are busy most of the time,but I would not trade my job for anything in the world. This is what I have been searching for,for a long time.

Yeah I feel a little guilty having a day off,but I know that is what I need to do. I need a day where I can just relax and gather my thoughts and feels. I need a day where I can hang out with my friends and not have to worry about anybody but myself.

Does that sound selfish to anyone? I think it does but I really do need this. I need something to do on my day off. Maby I will go shopping with a friend,or out to eat. Who knows. Maby I will just do all of those things. Anyways only tomorrow will tell.

Better Late Then Never.

All day today I have been wanting to blog. I don't know what I want to post about but I have been wanting to blog. See I love to blog don't get me wrong. It's just that now that I am finally home, all I want to do is curl up in front of my computer and watch videos.

To me blogging is like a secret diary that you write in,only it's not a secret and it's not a diary.When I first started to blog I really had no experience. I mean what was I to do. I was all new at this.Now I don't even think twice about sitting my butt down and writing.

When I write it is a way to get my feelings down without me having to take them out on anybody. I don't like to be mean to people so when I am mad or upset it is a way that I can really express my self with out actually saying it to anybody. The people that read my blog know that I write things about my life. I write about my feelings and my thoughts,and really what ever pops into my head. That is why I named my blog"Life As We Know It".

Well like I said I know that this blog is coming late but I have been on my feet all day today and I am tired so that is why it is coming so late as well. More than Likely it will be the same tomorrow,but better late than never I always say.

Time To Celebrate.

Labor Day.A time to celebrate and thank those who do work their butts off night and day for us. It's a time we can reflect on our jobs past and present and thank god that we have jobs. At this stage in life we better all thank god that we have a job,because in a lot of the world there are people that have a job and don't get any appreciation at all or do not have a job at all.

I got a new job just 4 weeks ago to this day and I just love it. I have had jobs in the past but nothing like what I am doing now. See my job is the best,I get to work with people and meet new people each and everyday. For a person that always liked to be by her self as a child this is way outside my shell for me and is helping me conquer my fear of being around a lot of people.

See I believe that I do have the best job in the world. I say that because I have always wanted to help people. Even growing up, my family told me that I needed to be something in life that got to help people . So,now that I am finally grown I did just that. See I work In a nursing home. It may not seem like a great job to everyone else but to me it is so rewarding. It is something that I love to do. I love to help all the older people when they need it or just sit around them and read to them or talk to them if they need a friend.

I think that secretly it comes from when my great grandparents on my moms side when they were still alive or when I would go down and talk to my great grandfather and grandmother on my dads which I still do. I still talk to my grandmother but her husband has passed on now. and I do have grandparents on my dads side that are both still alive.See I told you all that we had lost my grandmother in February of 2009 last year. I still miss her like crazy like I miss everyone else that we have lost over the years but I still remember when I would go up to here house. All she wanted was for someone to sit and talk to her in fact that is all she ever wanted. So I believe that is part of the reason why I love this job so much.

I think another reason why this job is so important to me is because it really gets me out of my shell and into the world.It gets my feet planted steady on the grown and gets me something to look forward to each and everyday. Like I said, to some people this may just seem like any old job,but to me it's a wonderful job that I love.

At this time I would like to send a special note out to everyone that has a job and everyone that is looking for a job. Also I would like to send a special not out to the men and women fighting for our rights and freedom We may not say it enough but your work is very much appreciated and very much thought of.

Happy Labor Day Everyone.

This Day And Age.

Think back to when you were little and think back to the things that you had and the things that your parents bought you. You remember? I am talking about the toys and things that would entertained you for hours at a time. I remember those things.

When I was little you didn't have all these cool things like these big batterie powered cars that you can get in and drive or the big play houses that you can actually sleep in. No,when I was little I had things like the paddle ball.You remember those?The ones where it had the ball tied to a paddle and you would swing it up in the air to see how many times you could hit the ball,and if the ball broke off all you got was a wiping with a paddle. Or the yo-yo's those were my favorite. See things like that was what I played with when I was little,that and barbies,but that is a different post.

Kids now days are so lucky. I see new things come out all the time for kids.Things that I know they did not have when I was little because if they did I would have had them. I was a very simple kid and a very quite kid so a lot of times I would be outside and draw with chalk on the side walk or jumping rope, just simple things like that. Now, kids have so many things that they can get to keep them entertained for hours. And they never seem to be simple.

What happened to all the simple things. I am old fashion person,like I have said many of my post so it's no wounder that I miss the old kinds of things that USE to be around. Don't get me wrong,some of the things that they have out now days for kids are cute. I am a kid at heart sometimes like everyone else is at times so I do find some of these things cool but a lot of these things we just don't need.

We should just go back to being simple and let kids play with things like jump ropes and chalk, and yo-yo,and dolls things like. Simple. I don't know,call me old fashion but to me it just feels like there are things that come out everyday for kids,things we just don't need.Now that I have said my opinion on this subject, what does anybody else think, Should we go back to the classic toys for kids and or do we really need all these new and fancey toys and things?

The Four Seasons.

Everybody has there favorite season. It could be spring,or summer,winter or the fall. I love all of the four seasons but if I had to chose one it would be Fall. I believe the reason that I would pick the fall is because of it's beauty and colors.

I just love the way the leaves change colors and how at night it is not freezing but still has that little bit of nip in the air. I love the fall. It's just something about it that makes me all happy inside.

I remember when I was just very little how my grandfather would go outside and rake up the leaves and then I would go out after him and jump into the big pile of colorful leaves that he had just raked up. It's memories like that that I remember the most. Every season has their good qualities about them. I mean take winter for instance, the best part about that is just the snow I just love the snow and summer, I am a summer baby so you know why I like summer and spring because that is when everything starts to warm up just a little but fall I love because everything is just so nice and full of colors and excitement.

The colors in fall is what really gets me. I love all the greens and red and browns and yellows on the leaf's. I like to sit out side with my boyfriend and cuddle in his arms with a cup of nice hot coffee on a nice cold windy day and watch the leafs fall of the trees. To me that would be a beautiful and perfect night.

At The End Of The Tunnel.

Today while I was in class we had a talk about some of the events that have happened in 2010. Then while we were talking about it,it got me thinking about how this year has just flown by.

It feels like we just started this year and really it is almost the end of the year. I can't believe that it is September already. It blows my mind to think how fast this year has gone by. I mean can you believe that in 3 mounts that it will be 2011. That is just so weird to me.

It's kind of weird but I feel like for some reason this year has been a little bit of a better year than 2009 year was. The first part of 2010 wasn't the best time in my life. I mean with my grandfather and grandmother being sick it wasn't the greatest time in my life,but the year has really turned it's self around for me. I know it's kind of weird to have a favorite year but I actually do have a favorite year. It is a mix between the last part of last year and this year.

Even know that this year did not start out great it has really turned it's self around and been great. I know that it is not 2011 yet,but it will soon be and it is just really amazing to me. I just feel like we should take the time to appreciate everything and everybody around us,because life goes by so quickly and so fast . You know I really never thought about how time fly's. Now I know what people mean when the say something like "Time Fly' s" Now I know that they mean that time really does fly byin an instant.

Good VS Evil.

I'm sure that everyone one time or another has heard someone tell them to "Play Nice". It's a common thing to say. I know my grandparents use to say it to me all the time. I can't tell you how many times that I was told to play nice. Well now that I am grown up,and a little older I am starting to be that person who plays nice and is nice to everyone and everybody.

Today while at work I got told that I was too nice. Too nice,how is someone too nice? I mean that is like saying there is too much oxygen in the world or there are too many people in the world. I mean how am I too nice? I didn't even know that people could be too nice.

See I am the kind of person that if someone is mean to me than I will just stand there and take it. I am not the one to start a fight or even an argument for that matter. It's just not me. I don't like when people argue as it is. When people start to argue than I go outside or even in a different room so I am differently not going to start a fight. I don't like to yell or scream at anyone or do anything like that.Once in a while I will mumble something under my breath but never say it. Maby that is what they meant when they said that I am too nice of a person. Or maby it is because that I like to give to others and help others before my self(Which you should always do).

What ever the situation may be I still can't figure out why someone would say I am too nice.

Don't get me wrong. I am touched that people think that I am a kind person,I would rather be a good person than a bad person but is there such thing as being too much of a good person?I mean can someone be overly nice?Is that a bad thing when I am overly nice?I am just doing what comes natural to me,no more no less. I have always been like that.Well no matters,I like being a nice person,it suits me just fine.

No Looking Back.

All my life,well mostly all my life some one or another has doubted me. They have said I can't do this because I am not this or not that. I hate when people doubt me. I know I can do whatever I want to do with my life when I sit my mind to it,I just hate it when people think that I can't do something.

Who do people think they are doubting me? I am just as smart as anyone else and I have faith in my self. There are times when I start to doubt my self but then I start to think to my self what my grandparents and great grandparents have said to me for years which is "You can do anything you sit your mind to" which is the greatest piece of advice I have ever gotten from anyone.

The thing that I hate is when people tell me that I can't do something.People told me that I would never be able to make it in college and on my own,but I proved them wrong. I had people tell me that I could never do my job right,but I am happy and loving it.See I proved everybody wrong that said I could not do these things,so I know I can do it.

I think that sometimes,I lack faith. I lack faith in myself and in others. I have worked really hard to not lack faith but I think that sometimes it happens to everyone one time or another.I think that if I could tell the people that doubt me one thing it would be,that I am just as smart as anyone else.See the thing about me and that I have learned over they years is that when people doubt you , you have got to work harder at what you are doing and that way you can look back and prove to all of those people that you did it and you are a strong person.


PS:I wrote this blog today because I am tired of people saying that I can't do something. I am a little up set today so this blog was written when I was really up set. Sorry,this blog is kind of a downer a little bit.
