Today I got my Texas car tags & Texas drivers' license. Really overdue according to both states' laws.  Thank goodness I didn't get stopped by police for anything. That could have been a very expensive ticket or my 1st time in jail. I spent about 3 hours waiting to get my license. The car tags were quick (no lines). So I had a lot of time to think. This is what I realized. The Dept of Motor

I'm going to ramble... There are only 5 days until Christmas, and I have so much that I still need to do.  Today I found a Facebook page that highlights my son's unit while he is deployed. He is even in a video on it. Yay!  I dropped my phone & broke the screen...Boy did I feel lost without it while it was at the repair shop.  No, really, really lost..I use my GPS on the phone all the time.

I remember when I was younger the post office always had pictures of the FBI's most wanted list. I don't see those anymore, but then again I don't really go to the Post Office much. Although I should be going more often, since my son is deployed. Today the news reported some woman that had turned in a big criminal (I never catch the whole story.) And I immediately thought about witness

The state fair started today, and since I live in TX I must go. But the tickets are pricey, considering that once I get in, I have to pay for the stuff inside. Maybe I'll get the season pass, if I go more than once it pays for itself, plus I can take someone else one time. I left work late today...late enough to get caught up in the just sitting in traffic kind of traffic. I took an exit that has

I'm pretty settled into my new place and routine. I think the D-O-G is too. That's what I see when I drive up & park in front of my apartment. Look closely that's him, because he likes to look out of the window to see what's going on. All the neighbors in my breezeway know him by name. I think he thinks he's a star. LOL!I have come to the realization that there will just be some unpacked boxes.

I planned to do a "This is my last blog from Atlanta" post, but of course the last minute "To Do List" was pretty long. This year has been a year of change, some of it good & some not so good. Some of the change I had no control over it and some of the change I did. So today is my 1st post from my new location. I still have to move into my new apartment just waiting for my furniture to be

Have we had the 1st day of summer yet? I know there have already been 100 degree days so it seems like we are deep into summer. And the days are flying by. Maybe it's just me, because I have deadlines & big changes coming in the next few weeks.I was involved in a competition today. Well indirectly...My car was the bulls eye for the birds that had target practice. Where's the rain when I need it?

I was supposed to leave work early yesterday to attend a book reading, signing & tea. The book is Silver Sparrow and the author Tayari Jones. Wouldn't you know something broke & I had to bring my new director up to speed. So I didn't make it. *wipes big tears from eyes & blows nose* However, Friday evening I did attend her reading & signing. The event was awesome! I enjoyed hearing her read. (it

Today was hot in Atlanta. If it is getting this hot in May, I am afraid of July & August. I just discovered that I do NOT like Arugula, and I have a lot of it left...sheesh I'm wasting salad greens.My dog is almost 7, so why does he bark & run and run & bark at the vacuum cleaner when I use it?Tomorrow, I will find out when I will be transferred to another state.

A few weeks ago there was an issue on my street. It caused kids to miss school buses, people to miss appointments & dogs not to get walked. What could make a whole street miss events & routine activities you ask? OK it was just 1 high school student, her mom, and me & my dog. I think everyone else was already at work or inside.We live in a cul-de-sac and there was a raccoon in the middle of the

I dreamed that I was watching Jacques Cousteau on TV with my dad. So when I woke up I was thinking about how different "Reality TV was in the 70's to how it is today quite a difference. One of the other shows we used to watch was Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. My mother wasn't too crazy about the bloodiness of that show. So we'd call her in the room & tell her the lions were finished eating, but

This morning my dog woke me up at about 3:30am. I rolled over when I realized what time it was, just yelled at him to lay down. But he kept whining & was at the side of the bed with his paws on the edge of the bed so he could look in my face. I thought about it & realized that since he was whining & persistent I should get up & take him out. I am glad I did, because he did have to go. He takes

I didn't know that snow could make the night look so bright. I must have tried to turn off my patio light about 3 times the night it snowed. Shoveling snow ice is hard work, first I had to break the ice then I could move the chunks. My whole body ached this morning & it looked like I hadn't done any shoveling. Those trees that make it a little cooler in the summer with the shade keeps the snow in

Good home training from sons to grandsons. Unfortunately I met them, because the son that has been my neighbor passed away Sunday. I've only lived in this cul de sac about 18 months and I felt some

Since this is longer than 140 characters...And I like the name.I had been thinking about stewed okra & tomatoes for about a week or more. And lo & behold someone gave me some fresh okra. (I'd never cooked fresh okra myself) I'd say it was about 2 to 3 large handfuls of okra. I cut them up & got rid of the tips & stems. I then boiled the okra in some water with a little sea salt.

I think the squirrels are sitting somewhere playing Truth or Dare. What else could it be when they run out in the street, but decide to cross back as you get close? They are devious little suckers...My question is what do they do when one of doesn't make it across the street? I know that they are taunting my dog...frolicking through yards running up the tall pine trees. I just have to remember to

I pulled out all sorts of papers looking for an old ID card for my proof of service. Soo nobody asked for it. What?! Not even when I went to get my free donut. Now I have to put everything away.

It's winter in GA today! LOL! No it didn't snow here, I think it snowed in the mountains. At least the sun is out, so I think the temp is above 40 now.For the last few days I've wanted some red beans & rice. I thought I would quench that desire by going to a certain fast food chicken place. Wrong! Mainly because the serving size was just enough to make me mad. I want what I want when I want it.

I guess last week I had a staycation with my friend from Cali. I really like this picture, and no it's not me or my friend that visited. This is one of the residents at the Aquarium. We had a great time. There were exhibits that had me oohing & ahhing like a 5 year old. I think it has been about 3 years since I had been there.

One of my good friends is coming to visit. She'll be here tomorrow, I have some last minute things to pickup & cleaning to do. I've been rather depressed lately, so this is something that is a bright spot for awhile.I've been able to plan some of the things that I only do when tourists come to town & I even got free tickets, yippee! So, I should have a picture or two when I update in a few days.

This was a busy week. It started out with meetings on Monday at work. Have you ever been in a meeting that outlasted your coffee or beverage? It's hard not to keep picking up the empty cup. I know it wasn't just me Monday though, because I spotted other people looking at dry cups or water bottles. The most annoying thing about meetings is when there is a whole lot of talking, but no real answers.

About this time 23 years ago, I went to sleep thinking that I had a week left to finish preparing for the birth of my 1st child. But at around 5am the next morning I woke up having contractions, and by 10am I was holding a 7 lb 5 oz little boy. Dang! I hadn't even got the car seat out of lay-a-way.Fortunately for me I was only in labor for about 4 hours. So I never felt like I could really

I like that I have a dog, because no matter how tired I am I have to walk him. So I get at least a little exercise. Can't ignore that look.Actually I Love this commercial it makes me laugh every time. Weee! Weee! Little I just recently ate a Greek Pizza at this place.

I saw some kids today playing with one of those little battery operated jeeps. It made me think about this little car. The adult version of those kiddie vehicles. The only difference is this car has a top and well I guess it has an engine LOL. I wonder if there is a warning label inside that says it not for use on the highway. I guess I shouldn't make fun of it, because I'm sure it is much more

Last week I went to DC again. On this trip I planned to get a SmartTrip card so I could just add money to it whenever I am in town. Unfortunately for me even though I love to quote the line "Reading is fundamental." when it is evident that someone didn't read instructions. I bought the wrong type of card. All of the Metro employees that I had to go to in order to fix MY mistake were very friendly

There is this new guy at work that talks in 3rd person. I had read some e-mails from him, ok sometimes keeping up in writing is difficult so I can see typing your name. But when we are having a conversation...it is soo distracting. I couldn't look at my other co-worker, because then I would have lost it & laughed out loud. She had a smirk on her face...We had talked about it but I witnessed it

Well, I did another Quick Trip, and no it wasn't a ride on MARTA to Buckhead. I have wanted to eat a chili half smoke from a well known DC landmark (<-- see link) for quite some time. And I planned my trip around eating there. Everything else was secondary. Oh, so that-- is near there-- ok maybe I'll go there.

The last 2 Thursdays I have taken the train into Buckhead to go to the movies at the theater that is like a restaurant. The movies are only $6.00 during the week, and what I pay for popcorn a drink & or candy is about the same for a meal today I had quesadillas & a drink. I just realized that I can park for free, so maybe next time I might drive.Last week I got there early, so I decided to walk

What's that?! Yes, I know I live in Atlanta, but sometimes looking at your hometown like a tourist is a good thing. Haven't you ever had visitors and then suddenly hit all the at home attractions in a few days? And or realized that it has been years since you even drove past some venues.Some I think are overpriced, but now with the internet it's easier to find bargains. Join them on Twitter or

Cock-a-doodle doo?!I've discovered in my pseudo exercise (actual walk the dog) morning treks that someone has a rooster in their yard. I haven't seen him, just heard him. The first time I heard it, I though I was wrong, that maybe it was a small dog. But a few days later he just kept it up, and I realized it wasn't a mistake there was really a rooster crowing. He must be a suburban rooster,

This is the first in my "fast trip" series of posts. Chicago is such an interesting city to me. I guess in part because of the river that flows through the city. I know that there are other U.S. cities with rivers, but they aren't Chicago. Maybe I'm also intrigued with its attachment to Lake Michigan. Also it meets my requirements for a "fast trip."On my last trip to Chicago I decided that I

I've been thinking about adding something more informational to my blog. My goal is to maybe twice a month highlight a "fast trip" in a city. It might be a tourist attraction, or the hunt for a food that the city is known for (usually something unhealthy).My plan is to include cheap and easy in Atlanta and usually cities that have inexpensive, fast (train) public transportation directly from the

I need to get 2 keys made. I went out picked up a few needed things from the store, and was on the way home before I realized that I didn't get the keys made. Arrh! It was too hot to get out of the car again, must do it later.Actually 1 of the keys is for my son's car. I told him multiple times before he went out of town to get an extra key made. He didn't, actually he locked the 1 key he did

I am a big fan of Earth, Wind & Fire and I'm not sure exactly when I became a fan. I have been sitting here trying to remember buying one of their records. I SAID RECORD...because that's what they were back then. I used to ride my bike to the store & buy 45's. Let me translate for young people. That is a single.I know that I had Michael Jackson records. I know that I had Stevie Wonder records. I

I thought my dog was always at the door to welcome me home, because he adored me. I just realized today, it maybe because he has jumped off the sofa and he's out smarted me once again. *Hangs head in disappointment*I hadn't been here in quite some time. OMG tender fall off the bone ribs. I had a sandwich...and I think really the bread is just an extra way to wipe the sauce off of your fingers.

I like to go to the movies. Certainly I could wait for movies to come out on DVD, and for some I do. I really love my N.etf.lix subscription. But I love the big screen & the ambiance of the theater more. Yes, I could get a big screen & surround sound...However, until you read about me winning the lottery and building a house with a home theater, I guess I will go to the movies.I've recently

The past few weeks the Atlanta area has had a few rabid animal attacks. First this raccoon attack and then 2 fox attacks 1 in Kennesaw , GA & 1 in Tyrone, GA. The fox attacks are in cities that are about 50 miles apart. It makes me a little nervous about being outside. I guess this neighborhood has been around long enough that we haven't displaced any foxes (is that plural for fox?) I guess the

For anyone that works a traditional Mon - Fri schedule that is like you waking up on Thurs thinking it's Fri. So now it feels like I have to work a whole extra night this week.

I have a neighbor that lives around the corner. Sometimes when I see her in her yard heading out, I just go back in the house. And I have seen her notice me first & turn down the other street. Gee that must be intense dislike, right? No, she has a pit bull & I have the chow mix. So rather than have them yanking us around on their leashes growling at each other we the humans just avoid the

I went to a Farmers Market Sunday and I only spent $5 and got quite a bit of veggies and few plantains. I finally successfully fried plantain & it was edible. Yay me! My mistake in the past was that did not use ripe fruit when I fried it before. Hint, when you have to saw through the skin to get to the fruit, it ain't ripe enough. So I bought one that was already ripe & it worked. Of course I

I like Queen Latifah & love Common, so I had to see it.I really enjoyed the movie. There was a scene or 2 that made me tear up. I'm sure if you saw the movie you're thinking, huh?

Since I no longer work during the day time & also do not work in Atlanta's downtown/midtown, I was reminiscing about when I did.On the sunny days that I had maybe 15 minutes left on my lunch hour I would sit outside in front of the building. In the distance I'd hear a whistle blowing...is it a police officer directing traffic? No. Well, who's whistling? It's Atlanta's drum major--Baton Bob!

I am always amazed that it seems animals have a schedule that they are on daily. I guess you can argue that their schedules may be determined by humans having food, letting domestic pets out etc. When I used to live in Texas I saw cattle head in during the evening hours on my long 70 mile drive home from work. (Yeah 70 miles each way.)But back to the point that I am meandering to. There is a cat

I was talking to a friend that I've known since elementary school, and when we were little if you had mentioned this year...We imagined that we would be living like the Jetsons. Yep, flying cars and all. Oh, how I could use a Rosie in my life. (That was the robot maid's name wasn't it.)I didn't make any resolutions. I just have a list of a few things in my head that I must do, and a few things

Have you ever made a call, gone through menu after menu which includes entering your account #, to finally get a person and they ask...FOR THE ACCOUNT#? Arrh! That annoys me still, but not as much it did before I worked in a call center.There are sooo many things that can affect whether the person gets the info you entered or not. From the company not using all of the technology correctly, to a

Over the past 2 weeks I have gone to the movies to see. a) Everybody's Fine, b) Up in the Air, c) Did you here about the Morgans? & d) Armored.Why these movies? There really are quite a few more that I want to see. I guess they each had an actor I like for one reason or another, well, one of the movies...I just really needed to see black people after those choices. LOL Actually, I knew about

I have started quite a few posts. It's the finishing part that hasn't happened, so I'll just be random.The weekend of Dec. 5th I had a great birthday & attended another friend's surprise party. I was in my home state of Texas. I stayed with one of my best friends that I have known since Jr. High. So we were celebrating birthdays for those of us OVER 45.I didn't realize how much I missed seeing

I saw the movie "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire" the Saturday that it opened in Atlanta. I typically don't do reviews, because I am afraid I'll give something away. And I also don't feel that I write well enough to do reviews. I think I tweeted that Monique did an amazing job. I almost tweeted that Mariah won't win any awards, but she did ok. However, I decided to be nice.

When did compound cuss words become common? Namely the word bitchassidness (my spelling) I have seen it spelled different ways; and think it is a very relevant term. I just wonder why I am stuck in single syllable cuss word hell.When exactly did companies start making the bulk of their profit on fees, instead of just whatever they charge for their service etc.? And or requiring a contract

I blog in my head all the time...but it never makes it to the computer. There are so many things that I have running through my head. So today I guess this will be a very random post.Fort Hood, TX was practically home for me as a child. My parents bought their house in the city just outside of the base. But everything we did was on Fort Hood. I took swimming lessons & went swimming at an

We just sprang forward to daylight savings time. And the news reports that I watched said to change the clocks at 2:00am; and I may have changed mine at midnight in the past. But who in the 7734...(remember that one from childhood?) changes the time at or before 10:30pm? My cell phone provider that's who.I use my cell phone as an alarm.

I watched the weather last night, and yes they said there would be snow flurries. But this isn't the North Georgia Mountains...I just thought I would see a few flying through the air. I thought driving might be a challenge. But this is ridiculous.I kept hearing thumping on my roof...I thought tree parts were falling. Not tree parts yet, but clumps of snow are falling of the pine tree

Gee now that I actually like our president...I will be watching the entire address.I did see the View this morning talking about the Grammar police picking apart President Obama's speech. I think that during his term their job is VERY easy. So what if

I was on the internet trying to find some information, and discovered that one of my son's former classmates died about 7 months ago. According to the obituary it was the day after his 21st birthday. I always get sad when I read about the death of our soldiers, especially when they are young. I tend to worry about (I guess I will call him the Pvt. ) since he is in the Army and overseas. He

I watched the ceremony today with my son that is home visiting from overseas. I do wish I could have been there in DC witnessing the ceremony in person, but I hate cold weather. So being at home with the heat on makes me happy, too. And when I didn't particularly like the view etc. I just changed the channel.One of the more memorable moments while we watched it was when they mentioned that

I haven't written in soo long. My excuse was that I had school and studying. However, I am done. I then wanted to "relax" my brain. I occasionally read some blogs, but not all that often.

What was I doing at 10:30 this morning? One of my favorite things, I went to a movie...yes I know it's early, but that is the only time that the matinee only costs $5.00.I went to see "This Christmas" and I enjoyed it. It was centered around a family for the holidays and the secrets that some of the family members had. It had its comedic moments without the "slapstick buffoonery"that so many

Not sure if anyone cares, because it appears I fell off the face of the earth. There are days when I have a subject to blog about in my head, and then I forget when I get in front of my computer. Or I have some homework to do...but for as long as I have been away, you would think I am ahead in all my classes making straight A's. Ha! It seems I am always doing everything at the last minute.

I've recently discovered how much I like Joss Stone. I think my new favorite song is "Right to be Wrong" She has a beautiful voice. I haven't really heard her sing anything that I don't like. She has a voice that is much more mature than most the 19 year olds.Unfortunately, I don't know how to attach a music file to my post, because if I did you would be able to listen to her sing.

Information overload. I guess there has always been background music when you are out, in stores or some public places. That evolved into commercials, or maybe an announcement that something is on sale in the store.Even at the gas pump I have heard commercials over the speaker. However, recently I have been going to a gas station that has TV screens at each pump. Basically it's commercials,
