Feeling Happy

I am closing this journal down.

Why?

I have four different email addresses. And having to check different emails everyday has gotten on my last nerve. So I got the bright idea to have just ONE email address. One where I can receive professional & personal emails. I can't tell you how many times I have  embarrassed myself in the professional world by giving out my xomywayox email. I swear some people looked me like I was some dominator or something. Anyhoo, I will continue to journal just in another place.

Thank you for putting up with me & all of my goof ways.

Oh yea, here is the link to my new J.

Feeling Chillin'

 

Last night as I was smuggle up on the couch with Victoria watching TV, I saw this neat M&M commerical. And it said, "You want to be a M&M?" Well this is what I would look like if I was and M&M. Yep that's me, on the sandy beach with a cup of Starbucks coffee with a bent smile.

If you want to try go to www.mms.com

Feeling Quiet

I have total writer's block....my brain is not working like I want it too!! Let me explain myself....before you think I have too many loose screws. I just can't seem to get my thoughts out, when I go to write...it reads like I've been drinking too much eggnog or something like that.

Anyhoo...mucho thanks to Dawn aka Carpe Diem for asking if I was upright and sucking wind. Thanks Doll.....

Feeling Quiet

I'm secure enough with myself to realize, confront, and over come my own faults. Example, I just realize that the little chunky snowmen above are the hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil. DUH  

Jeez...I'm truly a dork sometimes....anyhoo...let me get back to my original idea for this entry.

Happy Anniversary to Me Happy Anniversary to Me! (I'm singing to Self) Today is my Second Year with AOL Journal. For gifts I am register at Wal-mart, Target, & Macy. lol

Wow, I have come along BABY!

Even tho this is not my first aol j it has been the one that has been with me through the thick and thin, through my own self inflicted drama, and through my rocky marriage.

Even tho I had taken a vacation from my journal, my journal was always here. Waiting for me to write some funny story, to vent some hurt or wrong doing. To share with others that I may never get to meet face to face.

I even remember who was the very first person to ever comment to me. It was Lori aka Lori's Laurels...I miss her.

I remember when I first started getting to know these amazing women Angela, Tina, Lisa Jo, Gayla, Lori, Shelly, Nesil, Donna, Lisa, Marina and Kim. They taught me alot, and I hope they know how wonder I think they are.

Anyways...what a great two years it has been.

Cheers!!

For you gals that don’t know I work at a Marina / Shipyard. Where big boats are docked and worked on. Yesterday we had a tugboat sink which cause an oil and gas spill into the Alafia River. (side note it was not marina’s fault but the tugboat owner’s screw up) When you have any kind of spill into the waterways a whole lot of people come to scene. First Response (not the pregos thingy), Fish & Wildlife, State Patrol, and my very favorite the US Coast Guard. And when the Coast Guard shows up you know it. They are sharp, smart, & very professional. They wear hi-tech black boots, blue jumpsuits, with military hair cuts and they look lean & mean, if you know what I mean. So this morning I have been watching The Men in Blue coming and going. Jeez these guys are some GOOD looking men. I’d taken pics of them, but I couldn’t think of a good line to say to them without sounding like a total dork. lol 

 

Anyhoo, I just wanted to share my lusting moment with ya. Lol

 

 

 

(I google the US Coast Guardto give you an idea of these guys)

 

Giving Thanks…

 

To the smart handsome men that serve & protect us.
