| Your Birthdate: October 15 |
 With a birthday on the 15th of any month, you are apt to have really strong attachments to home, family and domestic scene. The 1 and 5 equaling 6, provide the sort of energy that makes you an excellent parent or teacher. You are very responsible and capable. This is an attractive and an attracting influence. You like harmony in your environment and strive to maintain it. You tend to learn by observation rather than study and research. You may like to cook, but you probably don't follow recipes. This number shows artistic leanings and would certainly support an talents that may be otherwise in your makeup. You're a very generous and giving person, but perhaps a bit stubborn in ways. |

What Does your Birth Date Mean?
How Old Are You?
| You Are 32 Years Old |
 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax. |

15 Days!!
Until my birthday! Happy Birthday to me!
The one thing I love about my birthday is that one year it can be 80 degrees and we're wearing shorts and the next year, it's snowing!
Fall is my favorite season...what's yours?

Fall is my favorite season...what's yours?
It's been awhile...
I really don't keep this updated like I should...oops
Nothing really exciting is going on in my life...I am probably the world's most boring 27 (almost 28) year old around. I get up, go to work, come home, have dinner, relax, go to bed...repeat daily. LOL
I'm enjoying my job which is good. Even though I was completely heartbroken when I was fired from my previous job, I also feel a little relieved. I don't have the stress load that I had the last time. I can take a vacation here or there and be able to get away without thinking about work.
Bill is still trying to find a job...it's frustrating, to say the least. Especially when the job market isn't good and there are certain jobs that he can't do because of his injuries. I'll be happy when he gets any job, no matter the sacrifices that we have to make with seeing each other or seeing other family. At this point, I'm not picky...I'll just take employment!!
We're also moving! Ha, not until next year, but defintely moving closer to my job...I have such terrible road rage...pretty soon I'll take some poor helpless driver out.
I can't believe tomorrow is the first day of October...but this is the fun time of year! My birthday, Fritz's birthday, Bill's Birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas! Fun fun fun! I can't believe Fritz is going to be 5 this year!

You know you're getting old when...
...when you receive the invitation for your 10 year high school reunion in the mail. Ugh, talk about a slap in the face. And for Bill & I, it was a double slap in the face, why you ask? Because we got *TWO* invitations...which seemed kinda silly if you think about it. wouldn't the reunion people take notice to the fact that "hmm...they have the same last name and the mail is going to the same address...maybe there married". well, i guess the reunion people didn't place that close attention. our next question was "do we each send in our own invitations and say we aren't bringing a guest" or do we fill out one form and go from there.
$160 for one frickin night of drinks and dinner with several people that I haven't talked to since June of 1995??? i don't think so...we'll take a pass and see you at the 20th. there are talks of having a get-together and have a fun time with all of our SHS friends...not just the ones who were lucky enough to graduate with us.
fight on all you saxons...ha ha...thanks for the memories!

God Bless Mama Mary
8 years ago, I lost a very special woman, although at the time, I didn't realize how important of a person she would be to me. I only wish I would have had the opportunity to get to know and love her. She is my mother-in-law and she was tragically taken from the earth on May 13, 1997. I am attaching a poem that I wrote a few years back...
The One I Never Knew
We love the same man but in different ways.
You are the one I never knew.
You are the one who gave him his life
and I am the one who he now calls his wife.
You are the one I never knew.
Your days were numbered and your life ended too quickly.
Although he was hurt, he kept on going. Trying to be strong
when all he wanted was to have you back in his arms. He took care of his
sister and his grandparents too. But there was no one to take care of him.
You are the one I never knew.
I never met you before you had left.
But he tells me many stories that lead me to believe you were heaven sent.
I can only picture in my mind how great it would be
to have my mother-in-law alive to see.
They tell me all about the fun times you had, and even about the times that were sad.
I promise to take care of him, along with your daughter too. She is turned from a little girl to a beautiful woman, you should be proud, she looks just like you.
1 year after your death, he called me on the phone.
We talked and went to dinner and eventually we fell in love.
2 years after that tragic night,
he became my forever knight…
when he got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife.
After he asked, and I said yes…we noticed it had begun to rain.
However, we were not upset, just knew that you were sharing our happiness and that your tears was the cause to the rain.
From that time, we planned and planned the perfect day.
I had my mom to help me with the details, but your help and guidance too would have been the better way.
Soon, that wonderful day in September was here
A perfect day all sunny and clear.
The ceremony was beautiful and the roses were too.
The one problem was I put your rose in a vase and didn’t give it to you.
You are the one I never knew.

New Job!!
On April 18th, I was offered a position that I quickly accepted! I started two weeks ago. I am working for Riverside Publishing in their Customer Service Department. So far, I love the job and love the people that are working there. Everyone is nice and helpful! I'm so glad to be back to work!

interviews interviews and more interviews....
Things are going pretty well for me and hopefully, I should have a job sometime in the next week or two. I had an interview on Tuesday and a phone interview on Wednesday both with staffing companies. I'm waiting to hear back on Tuesday's interview to see if it turns into a 2nd interview. For the phone interview, I had a face to face interview today at the staffing company. I think that it went pretty well and it sounds like it may be a job offer. I had another interview yesterday with a financial group as a recruiter and I have a final interview with the president of their company next week! I'm really hoping to hear something soon!!!!!
Also, dh and I have discussed this, and I am going to be placing a call to EEOC (Equal Employment) and put a claim against my old company. After talking about "where everything went wrong" I really feel as if they discriminated against me from when I had my surgery and was dealing with all of my follow-up and treatment plans (for those who don't know, I had my thyroid removed back in August. It turned out, that there was a malignant tumor on the right side....good news is that I am healthy now!) I'm not interested in getting my job back, I just don't want it to happen to someone else, kwim?

How do these people survive??
As Bill Engvall from Blue Collar TV would say, "Here's your sign!"
You have to question yourself and say, "How do these people survive?"
1. Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. "We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only have six, nine, or twelve," was the reply. "So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?" "That's right." So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets.
2. I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the "divider," looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me, "Do you know how much this is?" I said to her "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today." She said "OK," and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened.
3. A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM "thingy."
4. I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. "Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?" "Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?" I asked. "No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk."
5. Several years ago, we had an Intern who was not too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?" "Just use copier machine paper" the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank" copies.
6. I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister." I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich.
7. My neighbor works in the operations department in the central office of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have problems with their computers. One night he got a call from a woman in one of the branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?"
8. Police in Radnor, Pa., interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed.
9. A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and should be fine, the mother says, I just gave him some ant killer..... Dispatcher: Rush him in to emergency!
"Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid."

The picture above...
Is of our nephew...who is 9 months old. I was over there eating dinner and he was VERY interested in Daddy's beer bottle...he was very focused on it.
Daddy wanted to see what would happen if he actually give him the beer bottle...scary enough...it was quite a hit.
And...were his mommy and auntie appalled by daddy's actions.....nope.....we pulled out the digital cameras!
I'm sure this kid is destined for therapy!

It's been awhile
Since I've posted here...oops. I have no good excuse, despite the fact that I didn't have enough time!
Well, now I have some time, alot more than before. As of last Friday, I was let go from my job. I was let go for quite a strange reason, but as I've thought about it more and more, I can't help wonder if in some ways, they did me a favor. Now, I can find a job that treats their employees hopefully a little nicer and don't make one feel guilty if you have a medical condition and need to rearrange work schedules because of doctor's appointments. Or if you can't work a full day because you may have some medical restrictions, that they actually understand instead of making you feel guilty.
So, anyone want to hire me??

So, I belong to this email group
A few years ago, I stumbled upon the world of Yahoo Groups and my oh my has it been an interesting ride ever since!
So, last week, one of the lists that I am on, kind of fell apart, but it had been coming for a long time. The list was full of drama almost all the time and I felt that as a whole, people had begun to separate and not support each other much like in the “good old days”. People were leaving the list, backstabbing other people and just creating more and more lies. In the end, there have been 2 lists that were created and maybe that’s how it should be. In the end, I spoke some words, that truthfully were not the nicest things in the world to say, but I had grown very tired and frustrated with the lack of maturity, so I spoke my mind. It actually felt good to say some of those things. In all honestly, for the people who feel it necessary to now backstab others (including myself), I really wish that someday that they will realize that the world doesn’t revolve around them and that they too make mistakes in life.
Off my soapbox and back to work! Happy Wednesday!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
I can’t believe that the 2004 Holiday season is already here. It seems like 2004 started yesterday and already we are preparing for 2005. Even though money has been tight for us the past few years, I absolutely love Christmas and not just for the gifts...I love the yummy food J and getting together with family. Most of all, I love celebrating the reason for the season...I always see this time as a re-birth of my soul...silly as it sounds.
It’s been awhile since I’ve updated this journal...oops....but who is really reading it truthfully? LOL
