Two posts in one day!

First Snow

First winter snow, Christmas tree glow
Frost on the glass, Winter came way too fast.

As I sit writing this post the snow is falling softly outside. It's only going to leave a dusting but it shows the season is here.

Well, I officially don't have a life. How do I know? My daughter told me so. I have been working a lot, taking the overtime that I can while it is available. After the New Year it will end but in the mean time I am getting caught up on a few bills and finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm working on raising my credit score and I really think this will help.

My big news is my early Christmas gift. The guy that I have been with for a while now (I'm too old to have a "boyfriend") bought me an iPod Touch. It is way too cool! It is the 64G and I'll never fill it up. I have almost 150 songs on it already, the apps that come on it plus a few I have added, including facebook. I have also subscribed to some podcasts, even though I'm still not sure what they are, but they look cool. I subscribed to some recipe ones. It connects to the internet where available. So I can connect here at home, at work and anywhere there is WiFi. I can download books, games, movies, tv shows, etc....I can post to facebook and even this site when I am away. I even downloaded a text app and I can text to anyones phone! Cool huh! I'm sure I will find many more uses for it.

Well about time for a nap. I start back on the midnight shift tonight. It has it's pro's and con's.

Hope this post and the Holiday season is finding all of you well! Wishing you all the best!

Biorhythms Blues

CHART MY BIORHYTHMS

I am not one into astrology and horoscopes but this chart can't be ignored. My mother introduced me to biorhythms many years ago. At first I did it for entertainment and really didn't put a whole lot into it, but over the years I have come to realize that my good days and bad days followed my chart too closely to be a coincidence. It's funny though because now when I have a bad day I can write it off to my biorhythms. Just yesterday I posted on facebook that I was down and depressed and blamed it on my biorhythms without even looking at them. Well, my sister must have, and told me I was having a critical day. This morning after reading her comment I went and looked at my biorhythm chart and sure enough (not to my surprise) I was crossing the critical line yesterday. It NEVER fails that when I am having an exeptionally bad day or good one for that matter, I can look at my chart and it shows exactly what I am feeling. This can be a useful tool in many ways. Mainly, I can look at it and know that things will be getting better. I can plan ahead knowing what my physical, emotional, or intellectual levels are going to be. Go ahead, try it yourself! I'm sure you will be amazed at the results.

Happy Veterans Day

This is in honor of all past and present veterans. Thank you for helping to preserve all that we have! Special thoughts go out to my son, now serving in the states and getting ready to leave for Afghanistan next month. My thoughts and prayers are with you always!

We think so much alike it's scary! :D

Blue Ribbon Chili!

We had our annual chili cook-off at work and guess who won?! Yay! There were about 10 different entries and I won first prize. 2 tickets on Spirit Air any where they fly. Now to just figure out where to go! Everyone has always loved my chili, but I didn't really expect this. I was pretty excited.
They also had a costume contest, but I didn't enter that. Maybe next year. Well, it's late and I have to get up early for mass and work. Have a wonderful day!

Coincidence?

"Coincidence is God's vain attempt at remaining anonymous"

Just yesterday I went to send my sister a birthday card and went to get my address book, but it wasn't in the drawer where I keep it. I looked all around with no luck. The only thing I could think of was that my ex had taken it to get addresses and numbers of mutual friends and family. I couldn't get a hold of him. I thought to myself if he didn't take it the only other place it could be would be a post office where I may have left it. Anyway, this morning I get a call from the local post office asking if I had lost an address book! They had called a number from my book to try and track down who it belonged to and it happened to be a friend of mine who gave them my ph#. It seems I left it there 2 months ago. I just haven't needed it since then so had no reason to notice it missing. I told her she was an angel for going to the trouble to find me. Amazing, huh? I just don't believe in coincidences.
