When
When did life become a throw away? It seems everything is disposable now. Even life itself. People kill do easily. I don't know, maybe it's always been easy, maybe my parents just did a fantastic job of sheltering me from all the evils of this world. Maybe! But I see them, I don't understand them. Oh I get the surface value, but the deep down insides. That's what I have a hard time grasping. People lately are getting bent out of shape for the simplist things. The whole Starbucks red cups thing was just embarrassing for the human race. It was beyond ridiculous. Children and elderly being mistreated, homeless people, animal abuse, the world has enough real problems. Take the money you spend on that cup and donate to a shelter or issue of your choice. Much better now. I'm not the smartest person, but I'm not stupid either. I know right from wrong and what is senseless drama. I've gone enough rants in my day. Tonight Paris is in my thoughts, again, throw away life. It makes me feel as I did when NYC was attacked. But I have issues at home that I need to deal with. I have a hubby who drank himself to sleep. Who woke up briefly to say he's hurting and as I watched tears rolling down his face, I felt as helpless as I ever did. I had hoped this had gone away for good but apparently not. He's sleeping again, snoring pretty loudly. I don't mind it, I just wish he'd listen and try going to another dr. but can't force him either. Oh well. I'm going to sleep with a heavy heart tonight. Not for me, but for the tragedy in Paris and for my hubby, I wish I could take his pain away. I'm good though. I had a great night with some friends, tasty drinks and laughs. Ah life, you whimsical elf. You have so many faces to show us. Keep them positive okay? Ciao For Now

Sanity Day
So let's see, it's been awhile. Last week at work was hellish but my check this week is almost a decent check. Lol. So today I took a sanity day. I've done nothing and it's been delightful. I'm feeling a bit scratchy but then everyone at work, sans myself and two others have been sick. There's a respiratory "thing" going around the office. With all my lung issues, I've been very careful. Organic honey, lemon, lots of vitamin C. I am surprised that my BP is up a little. Last time I took it this morning was 155/76. The 76 is fine, it's the 155 I'm concerned about. 120 is "normal" and I've been running under. Perhaps the stress of the week did me in. I'll take it tonight. Otherwise I'm good.
I've been purusing through boards on Pinterest for Christmas ideas. You know ornaments and handmade things to give. I had made my mind up and I think I'm staying with it, the first thoughts are usually the right ones. I need to get myself to the container store to look for a few items. That store is awesome for Christmas wrapping and boxes. Making some madelines too I think. I'm going to ship them overseas, think they will travel well. Oops my English friend now knows a gifte. Lmao I like to bake and these are quite nice with tea.
I'm feeling a bit depressed today, I am not sure why. I'm missing my friends. Sis is going to see some bands and I'd love to hang with her, miss doing things. Still hoping by next year all is settled here in VA. My dear friend from across the pond is in town for a few more days and I'm not seeing him. I truly miss him, hopefully if he does come in the spring we get a day out. These two people are family to me, the sister and brother I never had. It's raining today so maybe this is not helping my mood but I enjoy the rain. Yeah I'm weird like that. I think it's the not doing anything, it's so fucking frustrating not to have cash to do anything fun. Thankfully bills are paid, but it's the extras that matter sometimes you know? Ah well, I need to fix MY life, I have lots to think about. I will get it sorted. Think it's the day, cat is being really needy today. Lol I can't go anywhere today without her wanting cuddles, but she's a cutie - so okay. Well peeps, I'm going to appease the kittah, she's nuzzling my iPad. Ciao For Now

As Time Goes By
Tonight is my 3rd day I've worked OT. I will do what I can to get our bills paid. I'm not afraid of work, I am not picking the right 6 lottery numbers, so work it is. LOL
I find myself with some odd rash on my hands. They itch like a mofo but no idea why. It's crazy. I'm putting eczema cream and coconut oil on them every night, it helps, but the air is getting dryer and I find myself scratching and I know it will go away (it's not like the thing hubs had) but it's just annoying. Someone at work has the same issue. Odd right? Maybe it's something in the work air. No open windows, one reason the colds and flays run wild through the office. Well - it will be beat, I know this.
So I was going to start reviewing and DIYing. So I just saw that Melissa McCarthy came out with a clothing line. It's at Lord & Taylors, not the cheapest of places but then again fat girl clothes are not cheap anyway. Not decent ones and many times, yes even if they are not good they can end up costing you big bucks. Flimsy material, ill cut hems. But to find fashionable big gal clothes takes a keen eye. I like what I like, I have a look. I like tunic style blouses, flowy slacks, boots. I also like lace and a velvety feel. Sis has a great eye too. I love shopping in her closet. Haha. Okay, back the the McCarthy line. Color me underwhelmed. Seemed a bit dowdy. Not one going to seek out, maybe on a sale. So Rebel Wilson has a new line as well. This is sold at Torrid. I like this one better. More youthful. Some a bit too much so for me, but the prices are a bit lower so yay for that. I like Tortid and I recently found that there is one at a mall near my home. Awesome! I will keep going to Catherine's for work attire and I like The Avenue. I have good luck there. Also there are stores I've yet to try, Asos and Modcloth are two. I'll let you know when I get something from them.
My DIY started as I purchased a big bag of rice ( so inexpensive) to make one of my holiday gifts. No it's not rice pudding hahaha, you will see. I need to start this weekend in ernest if I am to get them done.
We have been so busy, to today we had 74 calls in queue at the highest total. I gave not been on Facebook much and I went in on a break this afternoon and my friend posted herself playing and singing a song. I adored watching this. It really broke through the tense feeling I was getting from all the calls coming in. It took me away for a few minutes. Isn't that what music does though? She's come so far in about 10 months, self taught guitar playing. Excellent. She comes by it honestly, her parents are musically inclined. They have been feeding us at work also. Bagels, doughnuts, fruits, yogurt, chips. Nice spreads, so much for going low carb this week. Hoping to start back on this idea soon. Lol
Well peeps, I'm going to wind down a bit more before sleep. so Ciao a For Now

It's 9:30 (Almost)
So tonight I was able to leave work at 8 instead of 10, hopefully this holds true for tomorrow. I don't mind the work or the OT, but 12 hour days wear you down. I can use the cash though.
So my new desk area is not too bad. I teased them, saying, you put a fat girl on the aisle? But it's good. The guy I sit beside us a good guy. He's young but has a good work ethic. Military school does that I imagine. He grows his beard easily and this past weekend he shaved it very close. I was noticing tonight how young he actually looks? It made me feel, I'm not sure. Lol. I was thinking today of changes. A year makes a big change. This weekend , well Monday actually, it's a year since I flew to England. Lots has changed since then. I'm amazed at how much really. In another year it will change even more. I'm tired and going to bed. It's now 10.00. My tea is finished. Ciao for now peeps

So Monday Is Here and Guess What
The time entry is not going to start until TOMORROW!! This is a good thing as I don't have to wash my hair and can sleep a bit longer in the am. Had a very bad sleep night last night. I think it was the crap food we ate. I don't mean crap that it tasted bad but crap in that it was not any kind of healthy. here is a pic of the slice of cake that could feed 4. Its at home now with 4 bites taken out, I think its going to last all week lol
I have not eaten any of the whipped cream and the scary thing is , it HAS NOT melted or lost its shape. Im not touching it. LOL
OKAY Its 5:42 and they may open the time entry so I, along with 3 others and now staying tonight but only until 8. Tomorrow is until 10. It will be that way all week Can you say major OT and since its after 6PM there is another 10% shift diff added on. I can use it and hubs just texted me asking if I need him to drive over some food. How sweet of him to ask. But I think I will just have some cereal maybe , something light when I get home. I also have apples and a banana at home. Thats if I even eat, if Im tired i just usually don't eat anything, just have some tea and wind down.
I just found out that there is a TORRID near me, big gal store with uber cute stuff. I am happy about this as I am looking for a neat outfit to wear for my holiday soiree in Dec in NY. Hopefully everyone will come and we can claim the backroom of the pub and have a great jolly time. I'm looking forward to it. I am taking 4 days , weekend plus 2 vacation days, this way I don't have to rush. Well peeps, I'm out I need to do some testing for work. Ciao For Now
Quarter To Three
. No one in the place, except for you & me, so set Em up Joe, I go a little story to tell. Lmao. That worked out well. Thing is I should be asleep, I've got a day that may go 12 hours tomorrow. I know we are open, wether or not I am staying I'm not sure. There is a new time entry system starting tomorrow, (today), and while it's fairly simple, there will be many calls, I know this. I had to record a message about it. Oh yeah, got hot to tell you, I did the phone tree message again. So when you call us, you hear me. :-D
I have been on the brink of a cold for almost 2 weeks. Everyone at work is sneezing, sniffling and coughing. So far, I've managed to steer clear, but my nose is a little stuffy tonight and I'm feeling stifled. I turned the fan on in the bedroom for circulation of the air. It's better, but I'm craving ice water, something really cold. Ever get like that? It's a not sick yet not sick feeling. Very annoying indeed. Looking forward to a nice long shower in a few hours.
Going to head up to NYC in about a month. A friend of mine will be there soon, then off to Asia. Wish him safe journeys. A year ago I was getting ready to go to England. How a year changes things. Ah the cat just came in to investigate my sitting up. And she just jumped on then right off the bed, lol, I'm not very exciting right now. Actually peeps, just thought I'd say hello. Going to go back to sleep, so ciao for now.

Tonight
. The day goes by, then BAM! The memory hits you right between the eyes. Tonight 18 years ago was the last time I saw my mother alive. We had to dress in gear with masks, not touch her, it was so hard not to though. We were there and brought her ice cream, she didn't speak much, too weak but she said - more? We let her know that we would bring more the next night. It never happened, 5 am the next morning the hospital called my Dad. She passed away in her sleep. I'm hurting right now, I've got tears streaming down my cheeks. It's nothing that thousands, millions of people have experienced but it's MY mom. It's funny that the night we left, my Dad went to give her a kiss and he stopped because we weren't supposed to touch her. I told him, fuck that, dad give her a kiss. So he did and so did I. Not am I glad we did. We told her "love you " as we left. She replied "love you too", she hesitated then said "love you both". Like she knew or something.
I think of her so much and then some days I don't give her a thought but when I realize it I feel guilty. I know that's so stupid. She raised me well, not that I always took her advice, but she was a wonderful mother. I miss her terribly. 18 years has not made me forget one thing, it's mellowed as the shock is gone, but I know I will never fully forget ever. I will take her memory with me forever. I think the fact that we didn't have another ice cream for her makes me go overboard with people. Doesn't always work right though lol. But whatever. I love you Mom. On your 18th anniversary of passing into Summerland tomorrow, I will light a candle. I know Dad is doing also. He already told me so. He misses you Ma, very very much. Okay I'm crying again, I'm out. Ciao

Easier Than One Would Think
Facebook withdrawal? Not really. I did go on in the very morning to see what the night brought but other than that and a very brief log on early afternoon for about 2 minutes I have not been on facebook at all today. Instead I downloaded the Kindle app on my PC at work and synced my library. So on my breaks and at lunch I read my book. It was very enjoyable I must say. I love to read and i found myself heading to facebook more out of habit than actually interested in it. A few friends I check all the time, Sis of course, my friends from the UK and of course family are the ones I looked for any updates but once I checked I got off there. Took all of about 8 minutes total for the day. In the meantime I read about 6 chapters of my book and plan to read more tonight (it's getting good lol) Imagine that, and I will say it's refreshing NOT to read all about Hillary or Trump or the articles that are written by the spin doctors for both sides. It's a circus really, and the ring leader in in the White House now but I won't go on about that as it makes me angry. Must keep BP down LMAO
I really am letting things go, I don't know what caused this epiphany but its happening at a good time. I am friends with whom I want to be friends with and realizing more and more that many are just acquaintances, good ones, but acquaintances. I care about them but its not going to make or break if I don't hear from them. My family, Sis, my other Sis in Maine, my Bruv in England (Oh yes that's how I see him now, very dear and delightfully antagonistic in a good way LOL) are the ones I care about! I look at it this way, if I need to be reminded its your birthday, well.................
So in a weird way I feel lighter as if i've lost a great deal of weight. I have, mental weight! I'm still mental thought have no fear, I AM ME, my core being is not changing, but I am calmer, still love to laugh, love to cause good havoc and there for my =dear hearts when they need me as much as I can help or do for them. So I am here peeps. I am going to be doing reviews on clothes and DIY project very soon, oooh thrills I'm sure plus all my normal banal chatter. So see ya all tomorrow, Ciao For Now

The Land Of Nod
. I hope to visit there early tonight. By early I mean at least 11pm. It's crazy, but sometimes I get so tired some days. Not like I do manual labor, but some days employees just work your nerves. Like today. One of the new gals, sweet young lady. About 20 years old ( oh was I ever 20? Lol) had an employee on the phone. Could hear her talking and saying Sir why would I lie to you. Why indeed? Some of these employees have chips on their shoulders and feel you are purposely not telling them what they want to know. Well he got very abusive and one of our agents stepped in. She left the room. She came to my desk to get a tissue. It was obvious she was crying. I got up and motioned to her to follow me into the kitchen. We sat and I talked to her about the lovely world of being a CSR. I know people see most as the ones who call you just as you are about you eat dinner, that's a telemarketer NOT a customer service rep. Many CSR's can be idiots I will admit. But those of us who gave done this for a living know it's takes a certain type of person. Part gentle, part caring, part masochist. LMAO. Well I spoke to her about many of the employees who call, and how it runs the gamut from the ones who love you to those who want you dead. Even got her to laugh a little. We got up and she hugged me, said thank you. The rest of the day went okay for her. She's a good kid, and has learned quickly. Now it's timekeeping her to learn her finesse. That's what keeps you sane. People pick on us but we really have to handle a lot. We have to know a bit of every department. You gave a job and you do if great button it's one job. Do that plus about 10 other departments all the while keeping up with changes. Then learning it well enough in a few days so that we can walk you through it when you call. So yeah. She will be okay, I felt a bit mother hen like but hey it was needed.
That really is all my excitement today. Haha, such an exciting life. So ciao for now peeps

Not a bad day at all (crossing fingers)
Don't want to jinx that. LOL The day has gone on decently, despite us now separated from 10 of our former co-workers/friends. I was training a new person on Benefits also, wasn't expecting that. Went well as the woman has been here some time and just by close proximity is familiar with a lot of it. Same as I was with payroll and expense. I am on a different shift, I now work at 8:30 until 5. I moved up half an hour which pleases me. It funny how different that half hour makes. Its nice that banks are now open later too. I am getting excited as Samhain is coming. Its always special for me since moms passing but I have added people over the years. Its a remembrance of lives lived fondly and fully.
Weekend was a bust, got lots of cleaning done which is a good thing, but not much else. Stayed close to home. Started addressing Christmas cards for Dad if you can believe it. I had them and why not? LOL Not much peeps, don't think you want to hear how I scrubbed the bathroom sparkling clean hahahahaha I f you do let me know :-D So ciao for now will be back

A memory
I read in the news about an elderly gentleman who called a radio station in the UK. Seems his wife ( at age 95 I believe) went into a nursing home. The man was lonely as he had no one to talk to. The DJ sent a rack to his home and brought him to the radio station to chat fade to face. The phones went nuts, everyone wanted to speak with him. How wonderful, a simple act of kindness, brought a huge smile and some company to this man. I told the hubs and I started to cry. It made me think of my dad. Soon after my mom was buried, we all were having breakfast, and my dad started to cry, I mean sobbing. It broke my heart. He loved her and now he was alone. He had us but it's not the same. It was hard to watch, I admit this freely. It just passed through my thoughts and decided to share. Tell those you love how you feel. You never know. Ciao
The split has happened & the weekend is here
The government team all have gone and they will not be here on Monday morning, I already have separation issues. We all know each other and there are some I will see after work but its not the same. But I also have a weird feeling that new things are happening. Halloween or Samhain as I call it is the witches new year. A time to reflect and honor those who have passed but also to look towards the future. I have a good feeling, this is new for me. Its been a struggle but I feel very positive about the coming year. I dont know why, but I just do. Im going to do my best to keep this feeling. Despite that my new seat may be on the aisle. I dont care for that, you dont put a fat chick on the aisle NOOOOOOOOOO LMAO :-D
Its Friday, you all have a fabulous weekend and I will be back next Monday as I'm sure I'll have something to chat about. Ciao For Now

Mid-Day On A Hump Day
The office buzzing with those that are moving downstairs to the government sector. I'm feeling more emotional than I thought I would. The Ed Sheeran songs coming through on my earbuds is not helping as many of his songs are a good playlist for these feelings. Most of these people I've worked with for many years. A few I actually gave my approval for hire after interviewing them, back when i was a supervisor. Its great not to have to pack up all my things again but i feel a sense of loss with them moving downstairs. Its odd, communication will be a minimum. Even the emails are changing. They will no longer be on business skype and the floors will be key coded now. ACK!! New era starting, Good or Bad? We will see - here's hoping for the latter. I'm going to stay positive, previous writing excluded. LOL
Not a whole lot going on which is good. I'm finding all sorts of things cleaning out the store room. Did I mention? I forget - senior blonde moment HORROR LMAO I found a halloween Barbie doll still in her package. She is dressed in purple orange and black and has a pointy hat on HA! I found make up I bought also. its make up I used to wear years and years back, when I used to hang out in the 80's. I'm going to play with it this weekend after I get home from bringing the car in for an oil change and 20,000 mile check up. SEE nothing exciting. Although taking a drive into the mountains to take in the fall colors and walk in the apple orchards with hubs is a really good day! There may even be an apple pie in his future :-D
Well I will not bore with the mundane doings as lunch has about 5 minutes left and I need to make a cup of tea to get ready for the afternoon doings. I know - crazy life right BWAHAHAHAHAHA
PEACE and be happy guys that's what really matters - Happy can sometimes look like crazy and vice versa :-D Ciao For Now
IM BACK!! I am bored!! LMAO I do not like this I prefer to be busy then notice its time to go home. I do like some down time don't get me wrong but a nice balance. Kind of like when you get a new tattoo and they are doing the outline and it starts to hurt a bit, then they stop to wipe it down. Thats what I mean . Okay just came back and Im excited i have decided what I'm making for presents for my friends, I think they will like them LOL I have ideas that I think are brilliant and then well they may not be in reality so if this is the case and you get one,........I love you hehehehe CIAO (again)

I found make up I bought also. its make up I used to wear years and years back, when I used to hang out in the 80's. I'm going to play with it this weekend after I get home from bringing the car in for an oil change and 20,000 mile check up. SEE nothing exciting. Although taking a drive into the mountains to take in the fall colors and walk in the apple orchards with hubs is a really good day! There may even be an apple pie in his future :-D
Well I will not bore with the mundane doings as lunch has about 5 minutes left and I need to make a cup of tea to get ready for the afternoon doings. I know - crazy life right BWAHAHAHAHAHA
PEACE and be happy guys that's what really matters - Happy can sometimes look like crazy and vice versa :-D Ciao For Now
IM BACK!! I am bored!! LMAO I do not like this I prefer to be busy then notice its time to go home. I do like some down time don't get me wrong but a nice balance. Kind of like when you get a new tattoo and they are doing the outline and it starts to hurt a bit, then they stop to wipe it down. Thats what I mean . Okay just came back and Im excited i have decided what I'm making for presents for my friends, I think they will like them LOL I have ideas that I think are brilliant and then well they may not be in reality so if this is the case and you get one,........I love you hehehehe CIAO (again)

The Verdict Is In
Today I finally found out today which side of the split in my company I will be in. I am going to be on the commercial side. I'm not so thrilled but it's okay, the government side of the Helpdesk is quite small. They will be swamped. My side will also be swamped but for different reasons. We have enough people but two new programs are rolling out that we are going to get pounded with. I'm okay with all of it except that I will no longer be with my manager. I also gave list most of the people I talk with most. We are all upset with it, but not much we can do. I'm just a bit down. I'll get over it lol I'm just a bit sulky tonight. But I'm not going to condem something that hasn't happened yet, we shall see. I'm going to stay optimistic and wait on judgement.
I'm signing off, just wanted to update the info as I've been talking about it. Ciao For Now

Snow?
So this weekend....got to see Sis, but didn't go as planned. I have some kind of stomach bug thing. Yes I checked, that's the technical term. The drive up was fairly uneventful, yay, this is a good thing. So I woke up Saturday and felt like shite. Just kind of achy, ran a few dad errands, bought a new blouse and pair of boots to go out in. Well as the day played out it got worse. sis said I'll come by and bring some dinner over. So I told her thank you and she came by and brought meatball heros for us to enjoy. A hero is a NY way to say a sub sandwich, or grinder they have many names. Dad, Sis and I all ate just one half. Lol they were big. Yummy too. So she stayed a while, we went to CVS to get the make-up she's going to need for Halloween. After that she went to hear the band and I went in and read a little, had a cup of tea with Dad, then went upstairs to my room and chilled. Took some Pepto and lit some candles. Just went online and watched a few episodes of Grace and Frankie on Netflix. If anyone has suggestions on series to watch, let me know. I know Breaking Bad and The Walking Zdead, but I mean others. My one friend recommended Penny Dreadful, it looks interesting. Any others will always be considered.
The tummy is still not happy. Driving home was interesting, several more stops than normal. I HATE I mean HATE having to use the rest stop toilets. I go to two specifically, that I know are clean and tidy. I went off the highway to go to a restaurant for the 3rd stop. All said and done, I am driving through Aberdeen MD, and I see these two objects in the sky. Perfectly spaced, but not moving. I know they're not aircraft in the provincial sense. So I call hubs and ask if the military has such a craft. I mean a plane that can hang there. Seems there are two, but one can only do it for a few minutes, since these were there for about 14 minutes at this point, it seems they could be Ospreys. Aberdeen us near the army base. So as I'm driving it starts to rain. It's been sprinkling on and off for an hour or so. Then the raindrops start getting big, then they turn to wet snow. I couldn't believe it. SNOW! It's not even Halloween yet. I know that this happens up in parts of Canada and upstate NY. Not in MD, not in the mid Atlantic. I'm thinking the predictions for a snowy winter may be correct. I love it but it hinders my traveling to see my Dad. We shall see.
Well peeps I'm going to bed. Hubs made me some peppermint tea to settle my tummy. So I will say Ciao For Now.

Busy Day Indeed
As today winds down I'm watching the sunlight move slowly across the floor. At my old desk this would be the hours when I'd be blinded by the setting sun. It would come through one of the bank of windows and get me dead on in the eyes. I sometimes would just put my sunglasses on , you know, because I'm cool that way :-D
So many changes happening, all these new programs and websites they are training me in, it makes my head spin. I had 3 days of training and I'm on the calls already, I now handle not just all the HR calls that come in, I do time entry, and pay roll. We all are doing this. I'm thinking after the new year and we know whats doing and if hubs gets a new contract, I will look for new work in earnest. (hows that for a run on sentence, pretty good eh?) HEHEHE
In the meantime - a few words of Mary wisdom LMFAO
- if you loose your cool with someone, don't be afraid to say I'm sorry
- Friends, even the best and dearest will not tell you everything, don't pry, if they want to share they will. Just be there for them if they do
- Never and I mean NEVER pluck your eyebrows when you are angry
- Same goes for driving if possible
- Lastly, and perhaps the most important of all, when you go to the toilet, before you sit down, make sure there is paper!! ;-D lol
Ciao For Now - weekend starts tomorrow WHOOT WHOOT, off to NYC I go around 7PM :-D

NEVER AGAIN (well I'm sure I will though)
I AM PISSED OFF and a little hurt too. I bring in candy and I bring in bagels when I go to NY I have done this through all my years here. lately its been more scarce on the candy as one - I don't eat it and two - I don't have the extra cash flow to do it. So today I didn't bring my lunch, I found out that a few people ordered to get from this one place so I ping the one guy to see if I can add to the order & he pings back that he is already getting for 4 other people. These are sandwiches btw not platters. So I say okay never mind. So they leave just now and 6 people leave, I was like 6 people are going??? So one of these people could not get me the sandwich?? Granted yes I could have went myself but my lunch was used helping someone who had a HR question, he normally doesn't do HR and I was not going to say I'm on lunch no I wont help you. I can't do that there were no other HR reps nearby. So I guess i just overreacting but part of me is like really!!?? I will help anyone at any time taking time from my own down time (I've done this before my choice I know) But god forbid I ask that a sandwich be added to a bag of one person when 6 leave! Am I wrong, would you be a but ruffled at this? I don't expect to be served but I have helped this person in the past, I have gone and gotten things for them, sigh I'm too sensitive I guess. I needed to vert this Thanks :-D

So As We End The Day
Sitting here with hubs, after a light meal, we are just letting work leave our bodies. Tonight it's a few favourite shows, a bit of birthday cake and tea. Perfect. It came in with no big fanfare, no presents or flowers and that's okay. I had over 135 good wishes on Facebook, calls and texts from friends. That's pretty damn good. A few stood out, a few made me laugh and a couple got me weepy. I think that's great. I share my birthday with a few folks. I believe Hugh Jackman's birthday is today as well as Alistar Crowley. Interesting for sure.
As I start my next year I'm laughing at how ironic it is that hubs just got a job and had to work late so if we were going out tonight we would not have been able to. We went to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner last night. Had some lovely appletinis. Yes I went girly on the drinks. Also have had blueberry mojitos and other libations. They do a good job. Lol. Dinner was great and of course cheesecake. They have about 35 flavours. I got pumpkin. Lol. I know I know had that last night and a piece of birthday cake tonight. Bad Mary. Truth be told I hardly ate today I was so full. Had just bites today and a Special K breakfast sandwich for dinner. Lol. And cake. Hahaha. Tomorrow brings good eating again and working on me. So yeah. It was a nice birthday. I'm going to watch Scorpion and then go read then bed. It's been an exciting day. Lol. Ciao For Now
