Sunday Stealing

 Good morning from Florida.

1. Did you ever have a commercial you really liked?

The Coca Cola commercials used to be nice, now its political. The Publix commercials around the holidays always make me cry.

2. How did you learn to ride a bicycle? 

My dad and he let go and voila, I learned. 

3. How did you celebrate your 21st birthday?  

I was already married and I really don't remember. Lol 

4. What fascinated you as a child?

The Old West; Cowboys and Indians.

  

5. What was one of your favorite playground games? 

The Merry-go-round.

 

6. What things matter most to you in life?

Faith, family, friends.

  

7. If you had to go back in time and start a brand-new career, what would it be? 

(((LOLOLOLOLOL)))

 

8. What do people get wrong about you? 

That I am nice and sweet? I'm not. ((LOLOL))

9. Do you believe that people can change? Why or why not?

Only if you want too. Are there evil nasty people in this world? You betcha'. But change comes from within, period. 

10. What is some of the best advice your mother ever gave you? 

My mother said to start a career and never depend on a man. Well, yeah. I was a homemaker until I was in my 40's. I am a little late in this game called life/careers. 

11. If you could see into the future, what would you want to find out? 

I don't want too...

12. How has your life turned out differently than you imagined it would?

Yep. And that's all I am going to say about that. Honestly, I have learned through these past 56 years, that my life is controlled by God. Period.

13. What is the longest project you have ever worked on? 

Me, myself and I. I am a work in progress, just saying.

14. What have been some of your favorite restaurants through the years? 

Shrugging...I don't know. I prefer "mom and pop" type places. There was a little place up in Chatham, NY that made the best Onion Soup, unfort. we never made it back there. Then there is the Red Lion Inn at Stockbridge, MA. However, with that said, I am not a "hobnobber" with the rich and famous and had a rather unpleasant experience with the Kennedy clan at the Red Lion Inn. However, on that note, we had drinks with the late Sen. / actor Fred Thompson who was a super guy (on that same day). I also got to meet Jimmy Buffet by shear accident, and I will say he was a super guy too. Very nice and friendly and talked about his travels etc.

15. What is one of the best shows you've ever been to? 

Oh so many...the late great Jimmy Buffet put on some the greatest shows...and then there is Sir Elton John, wow. Both showman's.

Pretty much. Have a great day all.

September 2nd Chat...

 Hey y'all! All is well here in central Florida we only had minimal issues/effects from the hurricane; lots of rain and storms, tree branches down...nothing like what the coast suffered. We still are getting lots of rain and afternoon storms. Yesterday was a doozy of a storm. I left work and the sky was black towards Gainesville (my work is only like 20 miles from Gainesville). By the time I got home, the skies had opened up and it rained until like 6.

Time: 7:15 am

Scene: Partly Cloudy 75*, humidity 97%, Dewpoint 74*. Balmy.

Drinking: Fixin' to get a Second cup of Community Breakfast Blend with Sweet Italian Cream.

Pondering/Thinking: 

--Left work at noon yesterday. Since we were closed down for the hurricane, we didn't receive any inmates. Next week promises to be a tough one with nearly 100 intakes. Another short week due to Labor Day. So that means gaining / coding those new inmates will have to be done in 4 days. Yikes.

--We were going to head to Daytona, changed our minds. We do, however, have to get two new tires and that is scheduled for tomorrow/Sunday. Another expense that I hate to have.

--Although it's still a billion degrees, I think I will clean up the house and get the fall stuff out. Maybe if I think it, it will happen, ROLLING LAUGHTER :).

--The carport is here, but still laying on the ground (pieces). It has been really too hot, and the weather has been somewhat uncooperative.

--Stopped at Publix yesterday and got some items for Saturday. Actually, I had planned on only getting subs for dinner for Friday, but I decided to get chicken, macaroni cheese and such for today. Glad I did, because what I saw regarding my tires, yeah...Hubby temp. fixed it, hence getting new tires tomorrow. Not sure how I picked up a screw, but I did. One cannot buy just one tire in Florida. Yep. So, two new tires and a rotation.

--Let's see...not much else. (aren't y'all glad of that? LOL)

Hope you have a beautiful day folks. Hopefully I can get caught up on your blogs, emails, etc.
