My little corner of the world

Happy Thanksgiving.

2007-11-19T19:57:00.000-08:00

I know I’ve been a bit scarce, but I’ve been trying to think of things to keep me busy. I guess I overload myself. I voted in the runoff election and went to my first victory party. I didn’t know Bobby Badon, but he invited all of his supporters to the party. It was kind of neat, I’m not a political person, but it was so cool to be there when he found out that he won.
Enjoy Thanksgiving; be thankful for everything you have. I know I am very thankful.

Books

2007-11-05T20:02:00.000-08:00

It has been a few days since my update… I know I promised daily updates, I have just been so overwhelmed with my new personal projects, I’ve been exercising and watching what I eat. I just started getting into listening to books; I just finished one called back on Blossom Street. It was good; I wouldn’t mind listening to it again. I am on another one right now called smitten. It’s a very nice story, I am into ministry books with a little love story attached. What can I say if I can’t live a love story, I can get lost in a good book.
Yeah I have a disability, but I have thoughts and feelings just like every other girl. The books let me open my mind. Not only do I love to try to figure out who did what and how, I love the romantic side of it. My favorite part is how the couple first meets, the man treats the woman like a woman should be treated, he listens and tries to help her in any way he can to make her feel desire and safe.
God bless everyone who is in a relationship. May they keep going strong. Keep guiding those trying to find the right companion. Amen

I'm back

2007-10-31T21:13:00.000-07:00

Yes I’m back, for the past few days I haven’t felt like writing anything, I said to myself why put yourself through it if you don’t feel like it. But I am back. I thought I could do it every day, but it got to the point where sometimes I don't feel like blogging I know everyone that reads this has felt the same way. I did some shopping today, and noticed I have an odd little figure to fit. It took me six tries to find the right jacket. I really wanted a leather jacket, but when my mom helped me get it on it looked and felt awkward…
I went to the bookstore and got a couple of books on CD, I like mystery, with a little love story attached… I forgot I had another dilemma which I could solve in one day. I tried getting the ballet type shows. I couldn’t find anything that fit my feet. I wear a 5 ½ shoe. I almost have to worry kids shoe in some style of shoe.
I just want to dedicate this last part to all my friends, I am very lucky to have all of you, some of you I’ve known for years, others I have just found recently. God thank you for leading me to my friends, I feel very blessed. I appreciate each and every one of you. God bless you all.
Amen.

Just random thoughts of the day.

Sunday night, anybody feel like the years are just flying by? Lives are changing; everywhere I look our area is building up. New houses, new businesses, shopping centers etc… What I want to know is, is it helping by keeping people here or is it just crowding us. I’ve never seen so many hotels next door to each other in my life. They say that they are trying to create jobs to bring people back to Louisiana. In the words of Dr. Phil “how’s that working for you?” I talked to a few UL graduates, they can’t wait to get to the big cities, and they always say I have a job lined up out of state.
The New Orleans Saints win their third game in a row, they were awesome, and they finally are starting to look like the saints from last year.
As we start the holiday season we need to keep the soldiers close to our hearts as many of them may not be able to spend the holidays with their family. Please go to anysoldier.com to see how you can help brighten up a soldiers holiday season.
Lord give those struggling with life decisions rather it be a new job, moving or a combination of both. Anything they could be struggling with. Please give them the power to know if it’s the right decision.
God bless.

Movie day and celebrities driving under the influence

2007-10-26T20:36:00.000-07:00

I went to see the movie “Dan in Real Life”; it was a great movie I know I said that about the past couple of movies I’ve seen. But it’s true, Steve Correll was great, he wasn’t his usual goofy joking self. He was funny and serious at the same time if that makes sense.
What I want to talk about today is DWI and celebrities, its unreal, that’s all I hear these days. Well known movie star gets arrested for DWI. Do they think they are that invincible because of their celebrity status? I can do anything I’m a movie star. Let me just make an observation, it may not make sense, but it’s my observation. They have plenty of money; why not hire a driver so they can enjoy themselves the way they want to. And still have the same respect they’ve always had with their fans in the morning that would be the smart thing. Britney, Paris, Lindsay. Their names have been called the most because of this partying lifestyle they lead. Do I feel sorry for them? Yes to a point, but if you’re going to disrespect your image by goofing off nightly my respect for you is going to disappear very fast.
What brought this on you ask, a cast member from the TV show “Lost” was arrested for DWI, according to my mom this is the third cast member to be arrested for DWI..
Every time we get ready to leave my house now I pray the Almighty God that I make it to wherever I’m going that day and back safely. God is awesome! Recently I took a trip with my mom to Wyoming to visit my brother, right before we left I went up to the head pastor and associate pastor and asked them to pray with me. You know all the way there during and all the way back, I felt a sense of peace surrounding me, my mom and my sister. It’s a great feeling knowing that I have a guardian angel, we all do. We just have to listen to what he says for us to do. He is the ultimate voice of reason
Thank you God for watching us May you give us guidance the way you see fit. And protect us from any harm we may face, be with us in any battles we fight. Amen.
That was my first time praying out loud, I hope to keep doing it. I will keep doing it.
God bless everyone.

I skipped yesterday

2007-10-25T11:55:00.000-07:00

You ever feel like you want to stay in bed all day, that’s how I felt yesterday. I’ve been listening to a Christian music station on TV, it made me feel better. I just wanted to take a break from all the tragic news in California, I’ve been praying for everyone’s safety. I just read the headlines on AOL; they suspect arson, what is wrong with people these days? It’s like they don’t respect the earth anymore, we are supposed to take care of the earth not kill it. Let’s do God a favor and respect and take care of his creation.

Fantastic movie and red light camera issues.

2007-10-23T20:13:00.000-07:00

Here is another movie I strongly recommend. “Gone Baby Gone”, it was action-packed. Casey Affleck and Morgan Friedman were both outstanding. I usually don’t enjoy movies with too much action, but this one is an exception.
I want to talk about a hot topic. Red light cameras, and speed vans, my personal opinion is that I agree with them. The police department needs extra help because they have a lot of work on their plates. If you’re against it you must be afraid to get caught. I mean it’s ridiculous; they are there for our own protection. Say you get into an accident because somebody ran a red light; you won’t want them around to prove your case? Think about it.

Rainy Monday

2007-10-22T18:52:00.000-07:00

I didn’t do much today, I just flipped the channel’s. Watching the local news was interesting they had reporters outside at different locations monitoring the temperature. I know it’s our first cold front of the year, but it wasn’t that cold.
Nothing really happened today, so what I will do is talk about different things.
I recommend two fantastic movies.
Number one: “Why Did We Get Married”, I enjoyed the movie very much. I always enjoy Tyler Perry’s work. He is very talented. I’m afraid if I say more about it I will spoil it for you.
Number two: is “Things We Lost In the Fire”, it was very good. I was touched by the plot, bring your Kleenex Halley Berry is very believable when she shows her emotions.
Anybody watch the Young and the Restless, it’s getting good this week. Have you ever noticed as soon as somebody heels from an injury or illness, they immediately throw them into another situation? That’s what makes it so good. How about Drew Carey, I’ve been enjoying him on the Price is right. I didn’t think he was a good choice but when I saw his first episode I immediately changed my tune. I hope you enjoy this post. I really didn’t have a major topic.

Football Sunday and a special prayer.

2007-10-21T13:20:00.000-07:00

It’s a quiet Sunday afternoon, nothing going on except football. The smell of chicken and sausage gumbo is making its way through the house. The Saints win their second game in a row. I know a couple of die hard Saints fans. One of them does not watch anybody else but the Saints. That’s how much of a fan. Today’s game was very bumpy, a lot of highs and lows. I am not a football expert, but it’s plain to see that Reggie Bush gets clobbered every time they gave him the ball. Come on Coach switch it up confuse your opponents. It looked like Bush had the ball for most of the game, no wonder they had trouble winning the defense knew where the ball was going. Let’s see if we can make it three in a row next week. Before I forget defense needs some work also.
Special note: my family and I found out yesterday that we are somehow related to Jacob Anthony Foreman. We’ve never met this young man, but I wanted to include him today and ask anyone who reads this to say a special prayer. My mind has been with his family ever since we heard the news. May God be with those that mourn his loss.

Don't forget to vote.

2007-10-20T14:05:00.000-07:00

Did everyone vote? I'm not a political person; I don't like to talk about politics. I believe it's our duty to vote, you know what I don't like? There are people that complain about who is in office, but they don't take the time out to vote. If you don't like something, take five minutes of your day to vote. If you don't vote, don't come crying to me just because you don't like a public official. You had your chance.

Disruption in the movies.

2007-10-19T19:03:00.000-07:00

I don't get it anymore, every time I go to a movie somebody is always making noise. Now if I did that to somebody, they would let me have it. Here is a few pointers of my own.
Come in about 10 to 20 minutes ahead of time to get settled. That includes getting your popcorn, candy and drink.
Turn off your cell phone, put it on vibrate or you can leave it in the car.
If you have a friend with you in the movie, make sure you have said everything you've had to say before the movie starts including previews. If you have to comment on the previews make it quick, because I would like to hear the rest of the previews.
Last but not least, when the movie starts please do not comment on every word, every line, or every actor/actress during the movie.
Example: Did you see that! I can't believe they did that! What did they say? Well you know that happened to me once. That reminds me of something that happened last week. My favorite interruption is, you know who that was, that was so-and-so from that show. We can all see who everybody is in the movie. It's not like we can interact with them through the screen. Like I've seen every one of your movies, no it's not like that. The movie theater is for enjoying a movie, not making everybody crazy, I will comment on you out loud if you make any kind of disruption. I've been known to do that.

Thank you very much for your consideration. I will try keep this up daily. Feel free to comment on anything you've seen here.
