bums and stuff

Ok, so I had to take my daughter to get her Xmas gifts from a family member today and I decided to take a trip to Target.

I wanted to purchase a dry erase board to work with Anna on...she is home schooled now so I wanted to purchase one instead of wasting so much paper plus it's good for her to learn how to take notes.

Anyways, back to my story. I was in my car at a traffic light near a bus stop and I saw a bum walking up the street looking in cars...nothing new there they all try to get money almost on every street corner..it's pretty bad. I saw this woman look at the guy in the car next to mine. She motioned to him to have him roll his window down...they talked for about 20 seconds and the emerged with a cigarette....yes, she really bummed a cigarette from a guy in this car in front of me...she did not need a light though because she still had a cigar lit so she used that to light the cigarette.....I am sure that she bummed that cigar also.

I can't believe that the guy actually gave it to her...maybe I am just stuck up...no I am not really stuck up I am just sick of all the begging....it gets old really quick!

I am sitting here on the computer and I should be getting Anna's work together for tomorrow but I decided to take a break and share with you a little piece of my day.

fights and ice cream

I took the day off work today because I just did not feel like going in today. I should have been good today and I should have cleaned or work really hard on the portfolio for my homeschool meeting next month but I did not do that. Instead I picked a fight with my best (maybe X) best friend from high school. We brought up (or rather she brought up) some things from the past...we have not really talked since the summer time (my fault) over something stupid but I am gonna hold my ground on this. I brought up something that happened this summer she went back 11-12 years....how can you keep something bottled up that long? I don't get it? Was our friendship one sided..does she feel like she gave more and I gave less....I know that my life is far from perfect but I thought that it made things colorful for us....I guess not!

Oh well, I don't want to talk about it anymore tonight because I know that I am gonna cry...I hate to think about the past...I have moved so far from it and I just don't want to go back there right now!

Anna had her 11th birthday on Wednesday....I am a mother of an 11 year old...Wow, I'm old. I took the day off on Wed. to spend with her and we went shopping...she is really into fashion now and she wanted to get some "staple" items to start a new wardrobe. It was fun and we had a really good day.

We tried to go to Cold Stone for ice cream but they were out of EVERYTHING....really, they were out of bananas, strawberries, banana ice cream, chocolate chips, brownies, yellow cake....and some other stuff I can't remember...the guy told me that he could not go to the grocery store because he was the only one there...who did he think that he was gonna sell "nothing" to? We had to go to another Cold Stone to get out ice cream. That was just crazy and silly but an idea of how my week has been.

I was reading some of my old post and I really have not wrote anything in quite some time...like 2 years ago I just stopped....I have some interesting post (to me anyways) and I just stopped....I will do better this year. I am really gonna try!

resolution

So this is what I have to say to those people who will take up my space at the gym so that they can work out for about 2 weeks until they give up their resolution to lose weight. I stayed at home all night and went to be around 1am. We did nothing special and today I have really just sat around and have done nothing all day! I did make part of my meals for tomorrow because I do have to watch what I am eating not only for weight reasons but also because I have spent a lot of money going out to eat when I am at work.

I am already tired and it's only 8:30...I need some energy! Let me get off this computer before I fall asleep.

Ok, so after I put up my post about how nobody loves me I get to comments in less than 24 hour after not having a post for MONTHS!!! I really do feel loved OR my friends have nothing better to do then check up on blogs that have no been updated in FOREVER!!!

Really, I do feel loved and I was pleasantly surprised to see that I have not one but two comments! I hope everyone have a Happy New Year and that you all are not to hung over in the morning. I really will try to update this blog more...I can't and won't make any promises but I am going to give it my best shot.

My stepson told me that I am old because my husband and I are staying home tonight. I just do not feel like fighting all the drunks out there. I would rather stay in my nice warm house and get drunk ;)

What do you do? Do you stay home or go out? Why?

so sad

I am not really sure why I will not let this blog go....it had its good days and now it is no longer in use. I come by to go to a few links that I have that are still updated other links I hae updated in my favs on my computer. I feel like I really don't have anything good ot interesting to say and then if I do I have lost all my readers so what is the point of making a post if nobody will read it. I guess I should not feel like that and I should just blog anyways but it has lost its appeal but I still sit here and I refuse to let it go.....so sad really. I guess if I am not going to let it go that I really need to keep it up to date then. There is not to much going on right now.

Please give me something to talk about!!!

ok, so I have been busy

Or not really into this...sorry, there are not that many people left who read this blog...and are blogs even the "in" thing anymore? I guess I have a lot of things that are changing and I am not even sure anymore if people even stop by for me...I can't really blame you though...cuz, I totally neglect you. I try though and I think about it but I have other things going on that take center stage...sorry!

I got a new puppy..ain't he cute?!?!?!?! He is a mini Chihuahua...I am not a dog type of person and I hate people who bring their pets to non pet stores....but he in not really a pet but my baby...I took him to the vet today and he is about 2lbs..he will only get to be about 3lbs....I NEVER thought that I could love a "silly ol' dog" as much as I do. He's not really like a "real" dog but more like a pampered little thing...His name is Digger (my husband decided on the name) and he is a pretty good puppy.

He had to get his shots today and was not to happy with me.

I am off work today and the next 2 days..this is my schd..I only work 4 days a week (10 hrs a day) and I love it. We are going to go to a baseball game on Thursday and I can't wait. I will take pixs for ya'll....I'm going to go to the gym tomorrow...I need to start walking at least 3 miles a day. I need to get this weight off before my 30th birthday (may 9th).

I will talk to ya'll later!

rested

I am feeling pretty good now. I am on vacation for another week. I go back to work on Friday. We took a trip south to pick up my stepson because he got out of school last week. Here in Maryland the kids are still in school for another 2 weeks. Anyhoo, I ate at my first ever Cracker Barrel so I had to get a picture of it. It was pretty good. We don't have one near us so I wanted to try it. I know some of the pictures are bad and this one is fuzzy because I took it in the rental car we had. I ate chicken and dumplings...they would have been better if they had veggies mixed in with it but a girl can't have everything all the time. We ate close to Earnhardt Jr's home and we saw the trailer that was taking his car to Dover for the race this weekend. That was pretty cool.

The next day we went to Long Horn to eat lunch and that was really good also. We had a burger and fries. The waiter was real nice but he is not really from FL. he was from PA. my hubby wanted to take this picture for my daughter and stepson because he thought it was cool....I think the picture came out pretty good. After lunch we went to see some of my hubby's family. He has not seem them in years and I have never been introduce since we have been together. He has a nice family. We went to see his Aunt.

On our trip I saw this in someones front yard and were we are from you do not have things that

will grow in our yard like this so I had to take a picture. Cool hu? Unless you are from FL. and see stuff like this all the time. I guess this pictures in for my buddies who do not see this like me ;)

Apparently this person also has a green thumb unlike me...I thought it was cool enough to share with ya'll.

Ok, so in FL. they have "love bugs" I did not understand at first and did not really see any in Orlando but I did see them on our final day in FL. and they are nasty. I guess people who live there are use to them and they make a mess on you car and there have been several people that have been in an accident because they do not clean off their car

so that they can see out of the window. From what I heard the best way to get it off your car is with soda. The "love bugs" mate and the men can only mate twice and then they die the female "love bugs" will die after they lay 300 eggs. they were everywhere and we tried to stop to go to the bathroom and they were on the bathroom sign, benches, dead on the floor going into the bathroom, and we were only parked for about 5 min and we must of had at least 100 "love bugs" on our car....do you see the love bugs on the windshield??? It's 2 "getting their freak on".

And just so that you can see I am not

kidding look at the front of our rental car...this was after hubby cleaned it off...look what was still stuck to the front of the car.......all those little black spots are love bugs.....yuck! We had a rental that had Illinois tags and even back home we keep getting looked at like we are and "outsider" haha. Oh well, home sweet home...I missed Maryland so much and I am glad to be back home.

I have a few other pics I will share later. I just wanted to share a few now. I did learn a lesson though...Dorothy said it best "there is no place like home."
