100 years...

Today the town I work in celebrated their 100th year! It's a small town...population < class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">fliers to hand out for different ministries in the church. I am sure you're thinking 2 things...1. She goes to church? and 2. Why wait so late to work on those fliers? Well, I must say I am offended by your first question! *L* And your second question gets me a little touchy as well. You see I would not have been up at 4:30 in the AM if certain people who shall remain nameless would have turned in their info in a timely manner! UGH! Oh well, I was able to put a little something together and everyone seemed happy with it.

As far as small town celebrations go, this one was even smaller than you can imagine! There were only 7 booths and 4 of those were churches! *LOL* The best thing I can say about the day was that the weather was AWESOME! High 70's w/ a slight breeze. Perfect Festival weather.


I was hoping to come home and take a nap but had no such luck. The manager from my Second Job called and asked me to come in for another lady whose mother had been taken to the hospital yesterday. SAINT that I am I decided to go. I get there and who do I see? Lady I am working for! Could someone have called me? NOPE. #3 Manager (whom I don't like working with) asked me to stay and send other lady home...other lady didn't want to go home...#3 Mgr. only wanted me to stay because she knows other lady is new and she would have to actually work if I didn't stay. I left 2 hrs. later and now I am ready to crash!

I am going to pull on my pj's and curl up on the sofa and pray there is nothing good on TV so I will fall right to sleep! *LOL*

Have a great weekend y'all!

Senseless Tragedy

I have been watching the news the last few days and I can't help but wonder why? Why would this guy choose to handle whatever disappointment life sent his way by going on a killing spree? I also wonder when did people lose their coping mechanism? Does that question make sense? What I mean is when did our society start to think that the best way to handle, being made fun of, dumped, or just having an all around sucky life, is start shooting innocent people? I could almost understand if these shooters were targeting the people who hurt them, but in most instances the victims never knew the attacker.

On the flip side you have people who have truly suffered at the hands of those who supposedly love them. I think of those children who were locked up in cages, lived in their own excrement, etc. Most of those people go on to lead extraordinarily normal lives. Where did their strength come from? Maybe we should come up with video games like that. The object of the game would be to SURVIVE without doing harm to others! Imagine the concept! Maybe then people wouldn't look at killing innocent people as just another way to deal with their problems.

Remember to say a prayer for the families of all the victims in this tragedy as well as the parents of the shooter. I can only imagine the shame and pain they must feel.

How do you like the new look?

A friend introduced me to Revka who makes custom headers for blogs. She even showed me how to add links to other blogs I read. (I know! Welcome to the 20th century! *G*) I spend way too much time on the computer some days but if you check out these blogs I am sure you will see why!

I'll try to get Revka's link up in a few so you can check her out. She was doing 25 free headers to get her name out there so if you're interested I am sure she can help you out!

I know...I know....

I know it's been awhile since I posted. Too much drama to tell full story but the Cliff Notes version goes something like this.....

Stepmonster moves out w/ Sorry No Good for Nothing Boyfriend (AKA THE NEIGHBOR)March 1st...calls a week ago, needs to come home because he is cheating, lying and has spent rent money on drugs...changes her mind the same day....calls 2 days later...definitely coming home...can't pay rent, already behind on all bills and he has left her! Tells her it is all her fault because she is too clingy!!!!

I am trying to help her get a payment schedule together so that she can find somewhere to live on her own. Could be 6 months to a year before I get my house back!

I just gotta say the Month of March was a good month at the Bay but April ain't looking so hot! *G*
