Time Flies

I can't believe 2010 is right around the corner. Before all that, I have to finish up my holiday shopping. I feel as if there is not enough time in the day to shop for your loved ones. You don't want to get everything from the same place, but you don't want to fight the traffic to get somewhere. I say make a plan before you go out. Know which items you are getting from each store. Maybe I should have started shopping before Thanksgiving.

Is there a pill for that?

Trying to remember all of theses things at once is difficult. Assignments to be done on time, places to go, errands to run, presents to buy, dates to remember, things to decorate, recipes to print out and cook, and around all of this, memories to be treasured. Life is hard. Is there a pill to help me keep track of my busy life?

My Best Friend and Beloved Pet

About a year ago, our dalmatian, Zoey, age 13 and Sugar, age 5 died. Zoey was getting down to her last days. She had diabetes that were getting worse every year and she had been blind since she was 7. She fell into our pool mistakenly on a cold April day. She was swimming in circles trying to find a way out. Sugar felt as if it was her duty to jump in and save her. Not knowing she was blind, she would swim up to Zoey and try to show her the way out. By the time mom had raced home from work, they had drowned. It has been a difficult time trying to get over what had happened. But, we know that there both up in heaven waiting for us at the end of the light, along with the rest of our furry friends. :)

This is my Entertainment

My life is centered around my part time job and going to school full time. Believe it or not, I enjoy both of these things. Learning new things and getting to spend time with children is what I could do for the rest of my life. Choosing to sit on my ass each and every day would be a mistake. God gave us life to learn, not to waste away on a couch. We should take each day as if it were our last. And, I don't mean running around like a wild banchee. Stop and smell the air, gaze at your surroundings and become the person you would want everyone to remember you as.

Picture this!

When you're stuck at the house due to inclement weather, or it's so cold you can't feel any of your extremities, just close you're eyes an invision a place where the high is seventy, the low is seventy and there's not a weather-making cloud in sight. It would help if you turned on some serene music on to keep you calm and relaxed. That's your place of paradise.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

Watched the movie and read the playwrite. Reading the play really helped me to understand the confrontations more. There was a lot of words I had to look up to find out what they stood for. After watching the movie, I think Elizabeth Taylor is a beautiful and influential person. I have become a huge fan. Going to the video store to see what other movies she's in.

Present for me?

Bought a super zoom Nikon camera this weekend (12 mp, 24 optical zoom). Going to make a calender for my mom with each month being a picture of our dogs and a photo frame she can set on her desk. Maybe I should just take pictures this year and send it out to all of my friends. Less spending, more creativity.
