With age a person gains wisdom, at least some of us do. I find that with my birthday coming up that what was once an exciting day is just really another day a little more important than any other. I find that the older I get the less BS I am willing to put up with. I also have seen a pattern where I tell people how I feel regardless of the topic. I also know(this is where the wisdom comes into play) that in some instances I just keep my mouth shut because the more I say the worse the situation could get. Not that I am scared of that either but I really prefer a day without a lot of intense emotion unless the situation calls for it.

We have had some bad weather around my area the last few days. In nearby towns some heavy flooding has occurred. School is letting out early today because we are supposed to be getting more rain and winds today at some point.

Today my family went to my mothers to enjoy a feast together. we had ham,potato salad,deviled eggs,green beans,squash and onions,candied yams and cornbread. I took 3 pies(store bought). Well I had my plate and sat down to eat and wouldn't you know it,I pulled and pulled and finally got to the end of a long hair. After that I couldn't eat anything else. Well my family thought it was hilarious and before saying anything that would ruin the day I went outside. After my son finished eating we left. Needless to say my meal was ruined but everyone else enjoyed the food.

There are times in everyones life when they get so bogged with everyday stress they need relief. Last year my dad passed away in September, then a month later my best friend Pam passed away and then in December my niece passed away. My whole family felt like WTF is going on? I am writing this to say Thank You for the people who have posted contests lately. Even though I would rather have them back here with me, entering certain contest have brought back memories that have reminded of better times.Even if I don't win or place in these contest I have the memories to remind me of things I have forgotten and a smile and even laughter to bring them back here with me if only in my mind.

TGIF,this has been a very long week.My job is still just a job but I have been working really hard not to let things bother me like they usually do. I am off this weekend. I am going to try to get some yardwork done. With being in the 10 Days of Spring fantasy it has inspired me to do some sprucing up to my lawn and house. Have a good weekend.

Listen to that little voice inside Your Head.Everytime I don't listen something happens.I was invited to my friends house to eat last night and I almost didn't go. because everytime I do they always have some kind of drama going on and I end up leaving early.Not even 10 minutes after I arrived,sure enough they started up.I told my son next time we invited over there remind me not to go.

In a recent blog entry, I wrote about a friend of mine.I also wrote after listening to her I realized how blessed I am.Well, we talked again and it seems everytime we talk she has more issues she is going thru.I really wish I could help her but it is really tough for me.I finally figured out that the reason she talks so long is because she really doesn't have anyone she can talk to.She basically told me this.I know sometimes all a person really needs is for someone to talk to ,someone who will listen and someone who cares.I do care about her but some of the stuff she is going thru is well over my head as for trying to help.I can listen and offer advice but she really needs more than what I can do for her.If anyone reads this Please pray that everything straightens out for her because she told me tonight she doesn't know how long she can continue to run this race.I am really worried and I don't know what to do.

This morning I talked to one of my dear friends.I guess it was good that I called her because she talked and talked and talked.She told me some things I already knew and she also told me some things that I didn't know.She is having a rather hard time right now financially,physically and mentally.She had been on my mind a lot lately so I called.After listening to her unload I realized how blessed I am compared to her.I may have bad days but I know that I am fortunate to have what I have but the little problems that I sometimes want to think are huge are nothing compared to what some people go thru.That phone call benefitted both of us because she got to blow off some steam and it made me realize how good I have it.

This morning I went to the shooting range to attempt to qualify shooting my gun so I can get my Concealed Carry Permit.The instructor said I did very well.I hit most of the shots inside the target range.I was a little nervous but I feel fully confident that I will be able to defend myself and my family if the situation ever presents itself.

Today I participated in a Concealed Carry Class.I made a 100 on the test but it started to rain so I will be going back Thursday morning to qualify with shooting my gun.After that I will apply for my Concealed Carry Permit.I know some people may not like guns but it is my right to protect what is mine and that is what I intend to do.

I recently purchased a gun.Today I went to a shooting range to get familiar with how to load and shoot.I hit the center most of my shots.I truly feel if my home is invaded I can shoot to protect what is mine.I know some people feel guns are dangerous but in this day and time a person needs a little backup.I plan on taking the Concealed Carry class so I can feel safer if I have to go out at night.If people knew where I stayed they would understand my need for protection.There are people walking the road at all times of the day and night.It is a very colorful neighborhood to say the least.

Today is my day off yet I had to get up early to go to a staff meeting at work.Nothing new was discussed that couldn't have been said at another time.As always when the notice of a meeting is posted the manager will put if you don't show up you will be fired.As of today she hasn't fired anybody yet.At every meeting we have ever had there has been at least 1 maybe 3 that don't show up and they are still working.I have been looking for another job because the stress my job creates is really working on my nerves.Some days I can handle it better than others.

After I got off work today I was heading to WalMart.At a stoplight a young man came walking by my truck.As he walked by he had his right hand holding his pants up.I looked in my rearview mirror and the back of his pants barely covered his tail.I noticed he did have a belt on his pants but obviously the belt wasn't working.Why, do young guys walk around showing their underwear?To me it looks really awful to have your butt showing and having to hold your pants up.I guess it is a personal choice but I have been told how this new fashion trend got started and while I will not go into detail about it lets just say it is a form advertising,at least that is what I was told.

I was wondering is anyone else bothered by the loud thumping coming from another cars radio system.I went to our local WalMart and as I was leaving I kept hearing this loud annoying sound coming from a car behind me.Homestly I do not understand why people want this noise in their ears.I find it offensive.If he had been playing something I could understand it may not have been so bad but it was just playing loud thumping noise.At times I swear I can feel the beats because this noise is so loud.I think it should be outlawed.

When was the last time any of you went to see a movie? Last night I took my son to see 3 Days To Kill with Kevin Costner.I think he is so sexy by the way.It cost $15 and that was matinee price.We didn't even get a drink.A large drink was $6.I think the markup is ridiculous.I guess that is how they make their money but they didn't get any extra from me.Now,I remember why I don't go to the movies much.It was my son's birthday,that is the only reason we went to begin with.Just to let you know the movie was okay not the best I have seen but certainly not the worse one either.

I am by no means against helping others.I am not stingy with my money when I have some.Today I headed into town to get a few things.I pull up into the KMart parking lot and there were a group of people asking for donations.I admit I almost left because of them.I went inside and wandered around and when I left these same people were still there.I walked out and a cute little girl asked if I wanted to donate some money.I asked her what was it for and another member of this group explained they were trying to raise money for a trip concerning a sports event.I did give $5 to the little girl but I really don't care if they go or not.My motto is if you can afford it do it if you can't you stay home.I don't mind helping people but these fundraisers.at least where I stay are getting ridiculous.I understand people need help from time to time but I have gotten to the point where I don't want to leave home because someone somewhere is going to be asking for money.

Soon I will be going to have my hair done.Some may think Big Deal.For me it is.I never do anything for myself and if anyone had a look at my hair they would probably offer me a ride to the salon.Something I should have done a long time ago but the money wasn't right.Everyone deserves a treat and today I am giving myself one.

I don't know about some people but if a restaurant I want to go eat at has a parking lot full of cars,I,myself will drive on by and find somewhere else to go.The restaurant I work at,the parking lot will be full and people will continue to drive in.Some will say this is good business but at the same time when these same people have to come in and wait,then when a table becomes available they are looking for someone to clean the table right away even when they can see we are all busy.Some will even sit down at a dirty table and when we go to clean the table they will act like we did something wrong when I feel they were wrong not waiting to begin with because they could see we were busy before they even got out of their car.

Has anyone ever just sat back and looked at the things people do? I work in a restaurant so I have plenty of time to glance at the many people who come into our place to eat.For instance,some will come in and order food to go,once I tell them how much it costs,they look like WTF?They don't figure in taxes,to-go charge and all the extra stuff they wanted.You can't help but wonder what is going on in their head.
