    Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

    I hope you're ready for a great bird stuffed with dressing and all the trimmings. As for me we will be going to a buffet with my family, I guess it still is all you can eat, also you don't have to worry about any of the dishes.
    Than after that we have to watch the football game, I guess you would say that it is tradition. What kind of things do you do for the holidays? Do you have great food? I hope so, we will see how it goes this year.
    As for christmas It should be fun, its the shopping that kills you off after awhile.
    So long everyone-

    Happy Halloween

    Happy Halloween everyone! I apoligize I have been back in a long while, I have been very busy. But, you know that is life. I hope everyone is going to have a fun time this hallow's eve.
    You have the typical scenerio, dress up in a costume go door to door begging for candy from people you don't know. Then have a stomach ache for a week after, because you pigged out on candy the nights before.
    Then you have the parent scenerio, you decorate your heart out just to get it destroyed by the teenagers that toilet paper your house. Then you run out of candy about 10:00p.m for the trick or treaters. So, you decide to lock your door so you don't have to answer it and dish out candy. While you are trying to relax the door bell is constantly ringing.
    Or if you are not a parent and not in the typical scenerio, you watch a hoor film, as you watch this film you become more, and more intrested. You think you hear things in your own house, or your walking on tiptoes all night long.
     
    What are some of your Halloween customs, or scenerio's? If you would like to share that would be fun!

    Apples and Wine

    My sister sent me an email a while ago and I thought that I would share it with you. I would like to know your thoughts on it, whether you agree or if you disagree.
     
    Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just take the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy.......The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
     
    Now Men....Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

    Life comes and Goes

    Have you ever felt like you are standing still and everything around you is moving very quickly?
     
    When I am at work it feels like that all the time. I arrive at 9 o'clock and before I know it, it is already 5:00 and it is time to go home. Today I sat there for a minute and and watched the people around me and they were constantly moving trying to get from one place to another.
     
    I know that the movie "click" with Adam Sandler just came out, and I guess he could control his life with a remote control. (As you can tell I haven't seen the movie yet.) I am glad that I don't miss a minute of life, with my family. Sometimes I wish it would last forever, and other times I wish it was over with.
     
    I will give you a good example when you have a child before you know it they are grown up, and you feel like you just held them in your arms. But, of course if you don't live with the child people our surprised how much they have grown and then you are taken back. I guess it is because we don't always notice the small things.
     
    I made a promise to myself to notice the small things so that I don't let life pass me by.
