Where were you????
June 26, 2009
As a historian, I’m curious to know where you were when you heard about the deaths of Farrah Faucett and Michael Jackson?
I heard about Farrah while I was at work. I had heard Barbara Walters yesterday morning say that she was in her last hours. I was expecting that one. May God be with her family! It’s never easy to lose someone!
I was on the CTA bus #36 going north. I was knitting tentacles for a jelly fish I am working on. Some girl behind me said that Michael Jordan died. I turned around in shock and said, “WHAT?” She then said, “No, sorry, Michael Jackson.” I said, “WHAT????” Either one a huge shock! I shared the news with the rest of my knitting circle. Everyone was shocked.
Where were YOU????
Still Alive
June 14, 2009
I’m still around. Things in my household have been crazy. The boy is working alot on his computer. Since my is still out of commission, I don’t get around to making the necessary updates. I should get my ass up earlier like most people do. OR, I could write them in a WORD document then post them later, like Beau does. I’m just not that on top of things.
Let’s see. My new job is going great. I might be co-authoring an article. The apartment is still small, but it’s summer and we are out and about more often. Thank goodness. Last weekend was the Literary Fair in the South Loop! What a festival! My kinda people. I came out with a bag of books.
Once a month the younger generation at my church goes to a retirement community and serves dinner that we make and play games of bingo with the residents. I’m not exactly sure how it’s going. I’m thinking it’s a little un-orgainized. I think I may have to step in and help a little more. I was trying to do the least amount of work necessary, but there are two men in charge of it and we never happen to have the things we need when we get there. It always seems like someone is taking off to go buy last minute things. Yesterday we forgot the BINGO cards! Geesh!
I’m completely addicted to this restaurant game on Facebook. hehehehe I’m sitting here watching all the little computer people go in and out of my little restuarant. I’m frustrated cuz I can only have 4 staff. Something needs to happen cuz food isn’t getting out fast enough. I need another waiter. or another cook… I need both. Can’t figure out how to get them though.
Well, I’m off to the showers. I have bible study in an hour. I think we’ll be hitting up the Old Town Art Festival after church.
Have a good one.
Live Long and Prosper.
P.S. GO SEE THE NEW STAR TREK!!! It was so awesome!!!!!

Hello Readers,
How are you this fine sunny Saturday morning? I’ve been better. Hell, I’ve been WAY worse!
I’m sitting here in the kitchen, waiting for the water to boil so I can make coffee. I hear Seagulls! YAY! It’s strange the things you miss during the winter. I saw my first Robin last Sunday! Warm weather is getting closer!
Work is good. I’ve been busy but at the same time I am having a hard time focusing. That’s frustrating.
Any Futurama fans? Check out what I made! Yep, that’s right… you read that right… I made this bad boy!

The boy is making Chocolate Chip Pancakes, I gotta go!
Live Long and Prosper!

A Wedding
March 27, 2009
This was my second trip to Michigan in three weeks. This trip was more fun. The Boy came with me and we stayed at my sister’s place. FUN! We all get a long so well, it made me happy. I spent most of the time a little stressed out because most of my time there was scheduled due to I was a bridesmaid. The dresses were pretty, the reception so ELEGANT! The couple so completely in love it’s almost disgusting! Yeah, I cringe now, but I was the first one to cry AT REHERSAL when she came down the aisle. I’m VERY happy for them! 
My sister and The Boy were my dates. This was nice because they had someone to hang out with during all the wedding hoop-la. We all had so much fun! I’ll post pictures of the wedding stuff… not of the three of us. hehehehe

How unbelievably beautiful!
The couple had rented a photobooth and we all had a blast with that. Visit that site. They post the pictures online afterwards so you can order more! What a GREAT idea! I want to have a party just so I can rent a photobooth!

My nephew Winston
Alright… I’ll post one of my sister and I……

My sister and I cutting a rug!
Sorry I’ve been so MIA lately…. It’s been a super crazy month…
On the work front… I will be a full time employee on April 1. That means benefits and 401K and direct deposit! Oh… and a major pay raise! Whew….
Hope you are all doing well out in the interwebbing world…. I hope this awful economy hasn’t hit you too bad….
Live Long and Prosper!
Death and taxes
February 19, 2009
My grandpa is dying. I’ve known this for a while, but last night mom told me that he’s not getting out of bed and not opening his eyes. The nurses are asking dad what he wants to do, making all those arrangements.
On one hand, my grandpa is 93(I think), he’s lived a long life, he’s been miserable since grandma died, and I think he would be happier in heaven.
On the other hand, I’m worried about my dad. So worried that I’m distracted.
I am having a very hard time concentrating today. I can’t seem to focus. *sigh* I was so happy to see my little Windows Assistant, which I have turned into a cat. I would love to have a desk top pet. Something to keep me occupied.
All my W-2s are in…. taxes need to be done. Hopefully, I’ll get a nice return!
What should use it for? Hmmmmm….. New clothes? Food? New Kitchen stuff?
Live Long and Prosper!
