Answer Machine Greetings.....

So I finally got an answer machine. It took me like 30 times to record a greeting. Its not very easy to choose a greeting. And I didn't like the way i was talking in some of them. SO it probably took me a good hour to record a greeting that I liked. I am sure that if my neighbors were home they probably would think that I am nutty. Anyway, I never knew how hard it would be to do a greeting on an answer machine. I wonder if i am the only one that has ever had an answer machine greeting problem. Who knows I just might be. TTFN!!

Fallen in Love with Ikebana

So I have fallen in love with Ikebana. Japanese art of flower arranging. The disciplined art form in which nature and humanity are brought together. Ever since I have been shown Ikebana, I find it to be absolutely amazing. I find it to be pure beauty and very simple looking. Its so fascinating to me. I love It!!

Books and More Books...............

I read a lot. I love books. I have so many books that I own, plus books that I have read that I wish I owned, I could start my own library or even a book store. I could pick up a book and probably read it all day and by the next day have it just about done. I wish that I had like a little nook so that I could just sit there all day and read. Reading is a passion. Kids that are forced to read something that they have little interest in, will grow up hating to read. What teachers should do or even parents is let the kids have there attention drawn to the book. Because you can't judge a book by it's cover. And if the book has an intriguing title that will draw them even closer to reading the book. I observed a lady once, she looked at a book, picked it up, put it back down, and walk away. And sure enough, she came back a few minutes later and did the same thing with the book. And then walked away. About five minutes later, she came back for the book and ended up buying it. I even asked her, how come you are buying that book, and she told me the name of the title and the bold colors made it sound interesting. So there you have it, Books are a good thing, All you have to do is pick one up and start reading.

My Living Room

I think that my favorite room in my apartment is my living room. And I Love my saucer chair. And my living room adds the most color to the apartment. And its exciting to have a coffee table. I don't know what it is, but something draws me to coffee tables.

Quilts can be great for Decorations

My mom made me this quilt panel for my living room. I absolutely LOVE It. It brings so much color and character to my living room.

Here is some Matt Nathanson

I love this song, I'm just glad that I heard it first from Sugarland because now I can listen to the original version by Matt Nathanson. Although it wont stop me from listening to Sugarland's version either.

Have You ever got Super Excited over something so little?

I don't know what has gotten into me lately. I was at Wal-mart the other day after work and I got super excited over some socks. They were Betty Boop ones, and I don't think that I have ever got excited over a pair of socks.

But I will tell you that I did get really excited over my coffee table. I have always wanted one, and now I have one.

Its been weird for me, the last couple of weeks. I don't know if it has been due to lack of sleep or too much coffee. I will get loopy and sometimes a little delirious. My co-workers just laugh at me. So I guess that I'm doing just fine.

This week I have had several things occur, I had a wooden cover to one of our registers fall on my head trying to change soda. A clock fell on the floor and i don't remember ever touching it. I had a lady run into me with a grocery cart at Wal-mart. Its just been one weird week.


That's all for now.....

I Love this song.

My recent Addictions!!

So I drink way more coffee than I usually do. I love the new coffee mate creamers. So delicious. So I drink a lot of Ocean Waters from Sonic. And I'm not talking about the small ones either. The great big 44oz cups. I eat blue diamond almonds just about every day. And I'm so mad right now, because when I was in Texas at a Wal-mart they had a new flavor and our stores here only have French Vanilla Bean, and Sea Salt. I really like the Brown Sugar almonds, but no one here has them. Oh yeah, my friend got me onto eating Luna Bars. So I eat those a lot. At first I thought they would not taste very good, but they are actually decent.

I listen to some of the same music over and over again. Right now I listen to Sugarland's new cd all the time. Especially the song "Come On Get Higher". Oh and now I listen to more and more of Eva Cassidy. I put the Bleeding Love song on repeat yesterday for like two hours. My neighbor downstairs, probably thinks that I am crazy.

I have watched P.S. I Love You about a million times. Plus so many more of my movies that I can't resist watching.

Well Anyways, That's all I have for Now...

Sorry its been so long....

Well as you might already know. I now live in the Southwest Missouri Area. Its been great so far. I know it has been too long since i made a contribution to my blog. But August was the month I made my first steps back into civilization. I'm just now catching up on everything. TTFN!!
