          Some things never change like for example the Blue Jackets still suck. In fact they are the worst I have ever seen them. Yeah that bad. It really makes it hard to be a fan. I mean we have the talent and for whatever reason they are just not gelling well together.One day the defense does really well and the offence sucks. Next game it&apos;s just the opposite. Our poor goalie is always left out to dry. This kid has potential in fact a majority of the team does. It&apos;s just not happening for us. For whatever reason the Hockey Gods are just not happy with us. I mean the team has the whole town behind them. There are teams out there 5 times better than us and they have about 5 to 8 thousand show up for their games and we have about 16 thousand any given game. I mean the fans in C-bus would kill for a great team hell even a good team at this point but *sigh* the Hockey Gods are still not pleased with us. We fired the coach last week. Still waiting on a replacement not that I think it would make much difference we have had 4 coaches 3 coaches (going on 4) in the last five seasons. Thats just not a good number. I just wish someone could figure out what the hell the problem is and wave their magic wand and fix it. At least Nash seemed to have come out of his slump 2 games ago scoring 2 goals. I think sometimes they just get out there and try to hard and mess up even more for overdoing it. I don&apos;t know I just had to vent about it some since We pay our hard earned cash to go watch us lose and lose again. I have yet to be to a winning home game this season. The fans are not as willing to wave it off anymore with excuses like we are a new growing expansion team, oh we lost due to injuries. The home crowd is less and less forgiving even booing our team in their house and they know our patience is wearing thin. Always used to be sellout games the first season or so. Then a little less. This season I see many more empty seats. They should pay us to go there and watch the mess we call a hockey team. It&apos;s sad. Especially when your used to having the winning buckeyes. We just expect a lot and after five years we should be so much better than we are. We have the talent they have the support behind them so what gives?????

       Well onto happier news The OHIO STATE BUCKEYES ONCE AGAIN ARE GOING TO THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME THIS YEAR. We once again beat our biggest rival the Michigan Wolverienes and had an undefeated season. I suppose if your not from Ohio you just have no clue how big Ohio state football is here. I mean there is so much scarlett and gray this time of year. There is nothing but Ohio state footbal here we live it and breath it. 

     Other things coming up for me soon ....... Gonna be moving soon. Not sure exactly when or where but it&apos;s gonna be soon. I am thinking it will def be in January. Time is running out sooooooo the week after thanksgiving the hubby and I are gonna be on vacation and we will be spending 3 or 4 of those days at least looking at houses. So wish us luck and hopefully we find something we both love. I am sooo gonna hate to move. I know it sounds crazy but it almost seems like we were just getting settled here. I mean yeah it&apos;s been five years but still sometimes it takes awhile. I hope to make it to PA on the vaca for a day or 2 to see my family. I have not seen most of the kids in over 2 years for 2 of them and a year ago for my other 2 nephews. I did recently see my neice twice this year. I still should try to go see them more often they are growing up so fast. Brian my first nephew just turned 16 this year it&apos;s hard to believe because it seems like yesterday he was my little baby boy my very first time being an aunt. My sister sent me pics of him and his little brother and he is so tall now probably taller than me. Thats good though at least he didn&apos;t get the shortness from my mom&apos;s side of the fam and neithier did I. 

    Work has been well .....................Work. It&apos;s the holiday season and today was a national holiday in C-bus the annual OSU- vs Mich game day. You would have thought it was thanksgiving or even Christmas as busy as it was today. Next is turkey day then the big one Christmas. Every Sat that is an OSU game day is busy but today was the mother of them all. We are slowly getting things together it&apos;s just taking time. I was hoping it would go faster but it&apos;s not. I know everyone is trying and it&apos;s noone&apos;s fault it&apos;s just the way it&apos;s going right now. The right things are not selling and it seems when we do make a dent in something well guess what there is a truck ringing the bell dropping off 6 more pallets of shit for us to try and find somewhere to put out. Some days it seems we are fighting an endless losing battle. Hey I bet that&apos;s how the Jackets feel too! HA. In fact we are losing right now 4-0 to the Preds. Oh well bitching usually doesn&apos;t do any good so I will stop for now and this is the longest blog I have written in awhile soooooo I hope it does pacify my 2 or 3 readers!                                                                                   Anyways that is all for now so until next time.... Happy Frickin Holidays.

          I figure I should post something. Sooooooo um my team still sucks. I just don&apos;t know about them. Working a lot still going thru the remodel. The store is starting to look good but man it seemed that little bit they were adding on was not all that much space but when they opened it up wow was I wrong. Store seems like it&apos;s 2 miles long now. My uncle passed in October. I was happy to see him finally go. He was in alot of pain and he was ready. It was a very sad time but it was also a relief to see him finally go onto a better place where he would not be in pain anymore. It&apos;s just funny how when people pass that shit gets so crazy and complicated. The jealousy etc. well not much else I care to get into right now but I am really going to try and post more often cause I know a few people check here now and than. So until next time.............

           Okay well Been a busy girl. Went to Canada for 2 days it was a great trip. Nice to get away and just go. Our hotel was sooooo nice we stayed at the Sheraton. We stayed on the 21st floor with a view of the falls. We had ceiling to floor windows and you could open the windows and hear the falls. Had a jacuzzi tub that was nice too. I so need to get one of those with the job I have. Lots of being on the feet all day and lifting etc. Anyways we were going to stay 3 days but we did and seen everything we wanted to the second day there. So we saved a few bucks and came home early. Canada was expensive. I do know to expect that that when your going to a big tourist attraction. Even still with their 3 taxes it gets pricey. We rode the maid of the mist and it goes right up to the falls it was so beautiful. I have some great pics and will probablly post some here soon. Well the remodel is in full swing at the store right now and it&apos;s getting crazy in there. So far though my stress levels have been at a minimum which is good. I just can&apos;t wait to see the finished product. It is starting to come together some but we still have a long way to go and many more headaches with it. It won&apos;t be anything we cannot handle. I just need to keep telling myself that ha ha.

     Onto other things we will have to start getting into house hunting mode hardcore here soon. Things are starting to happen and we will have probably another 4-6 months. I soooo hate to move. There is way to much shit in this house to pack. It is amazing how much you accumulate in five years. I probably have more stuff than most people just because of my mother. Everytime I go to her house she is sending something home with me. This being our first home though I have learned what I like and what I don&apos;t and what I know I would like and what I won&apos;t like. So hopefully we can find something darn close to perfect. Something smaller would be nice as well. Not so much house to clean. 

    Hockey season is starting soon. I am getting sorta excited because this should be our best season ever and even without greedy Zherdev hopefully we at least make it to the playoffs. It will be crazzzy at natiowide arena if we do. 

      I did also manage to go to the fair this summer that was fun. I have been trying to go to visit my aunt and uncle every other week or so. I went there last week to take my cousin to the sweet corn festival. I promised her I would since I didn&apos;t  get to take her to the fair. My uncle has lost some more weight but seems to be doing okay all things considered. My mom was saying she thinks 2 weeks but I think he will be around maybe till October or so. I know it is going to crush my mom. It&apos;s gonna be a very sad time. I do know though I have learned from all this to not take time or life for granted. You just never know what is in store for you. Don&apos;t wait for retirement to take that vacation or pick up a hobby you have wanted to try just go out and do it because there is no guarentee that tomorrow will come.

     I do know that after all this remodel stuff and before the holidays kick into full gear we are gonna so be in need for a party night.  It will happen. We are all gonna need it and darn it I will make it happen. So get ready friends it will be good times. Soon as I know a final date it will be time to plan.


         I am sure I missed a bunch of stuff but maybe on my next blog I will get around to it. So now I have blogged and certain people can shut up. I know I should be nice. After all it is one of your domains and all and you have so kindly given me one to share my thoughts with the world or more likely just the 4 or 5 people that do check it out. Anyways this should keep you quiet for a few days.

            Wow so today was one of those days. It was a terrible day. It started yesterday really. I ended up having one of my bad headaches while in the middle of my shift at work. I took some Tylenol and it sorta kinda went away. I came home did my usual nightly routine. I worked 12-8 sooo no big deal except that for whatever crazy reason I scheduled myself at 7 am today. Anyways I manage to get to bed about 11:45 or so read a chapter of the book I am working on and I notice that maybe my headache is creeping back. So I turn out the light tired and I figure well maybe I can fall asleep with no problems. NOT ! At 1 am I get up go take some more meds my headache was at full tilt and it came on fast.  So I have to get a wet cold rag to put on my head as well. I would say it was probably sometime after 2 before I fell asleep. Needless to say when the alarm went off at 6 am I was sooo not into getting up but I did about 20 mins later. Which in turn caused me to be about 15 mins late. Then I had to condition this morning boringggg and it took forever. I was constantly working but seemed like I was getting nowhere. Nothing went as planned today which in my job is not unusual but it was just a lot more irritating today with me being super tired and all. Also had the customer from hell call me 4 times today no joke. Not only did she call me she called the girl at my sister store down the street about 4 times pissing her off. They have what she needs at that store but she wants to come to ours. Anyways it was crazy. Then I had to sit in a conference call for like and hour and half. Boringgggg again. So it was one of those days where I felt I could get nothing done and I really don&apos;t feel like I did get much done. Needless to day I came home and went straight to bed. I was tired and just irritated. Then when I got up I was trying to go thru my order guide that goes on next week but I won&apos;t be here so trying to get it done.  Was able to get thru some of it but I just don&apos;t think today is the day.


       The good news is though tomorrow as of 4 pm I will be on vacation. I cannot wait. Look out Canada here I come! Bought some new clothes for the occasion. Now I need to go get some new shoes. The ones I have now are not working. Not much is else is going on my uncle is steadly going downhill whichis to be expected. I did get to hang out with Terra the other day and she was my shopping partner. Been awhile and it was like old times. We need to do that more often. Just shop than hang out and catch up. 

  Well over the next few days I need to pack relax and just unwind. It will be nice to just get away. Been a long time since we have had a vacation where we are actually going somewhere and I am excited to say the least. So not much else to say so until next time RELAXATION is the word. We all need it sometimes. I know I do after the day I had today. See yaaaaaaaaaaa.

          Okay so it&apos;s been awhile and lots of things have been going on and also lots of nothing as well. I have been trying to go out and see my aunt and uncle once a week now. It&apos;s a long drive and tiring but it&apos;s family and you do what you need to do. My brother met us up there with my neice last Saturday. It was good to see them both. He is taking this hard. So is my mom. It&apos;s sad really. My uncle has worked his whole life kept in pretty good shape and here he is dying of colon cancer. It goes to show life is to short to just work and put off things and then put them off some more. He was supposed to retire this fall. My aunt retired about 6 years ago and got cancer beat it and now she is going thru it all again. I don&apos;t know how much longer he has but I don&apos;t see him being here for the holidays. It is something we are all gonna have to prepare for because it&apos;s not going to be easy and it&apos;s gonna kill my mom. I just hope I can be of some comfort to her in one way or another.

    We went to Wyandot lake this past Tuesday. Had a good time I did get a little burnt. I think it was because I used that spray on sunscreen  but overall it did it&apos;s job. Otherwise my pale almost translucent self woulda been in the hospital with sun poisoning or something along those lines. The past few days have been sooooooo HOT . I was dying yesterday and the day before that. It&apos;s supposed to let up some tomorrow thank God.  I did manage to squeeze a concert in this past Sunday. Went to see Breaking Benjamin @ the newport music hall. I don&apos;t think I much like that venue. It was way to crowded and way to packed. It was soooo hot in there too. I sweated sooo much I was like um okay this sucks. I took Paula with me and she loved it and now BB has a new fan. So that was cool. It was a great show they sounded good, looked good, and they did 3 of their new songs off their new album coming out the 8th. I listened to a sneak peak listening party last night and I think there was 1 song I did not totally dig but I ofund my new fave song from them.  Called Dance with the Devil.  This is def a little of a different sound and style from them but it sooo works. There is one or 2 songs that as soon as they start off your like &quot; Yeah that&apos;s Breaking Benjamin&quot;.  The rest are a bit different and I think I like this album more than their first two but I really  like so cold.

   Might be going to Canada in a few weeks cannot wait. It will be so nice to take a vacation and actually go somewhere for a few days. Somewhere that I cannot go into my work or even think about it cause there is not one on every other corner. Don&apos;t get me wrong I appriciate that I have a job and most days I like it but sometimes you have just got to totally get away. Pretty much after the vacation the whole remodel is going to shift into crazy gear so I think getting away now would be good rather than having to put off the vacation till late late in the year when it&apos;s cold and the holidays and hockey season are upon us. Much harder to just up and go than.  

      Anyways that&apos;s all now for now kids.

           Uh well at least I have my moments. I found another program on my puter to burn cd&apos;s. Yeah see I did one like a loooooong time ago and I thought it went relativley fast. Well last week or so I decided to burn another cd for my truck. Yeah well whatever program I used took foreverrrrrr I am talking over an hour. Okay back in the day on my old puter I don&apos;t think it ever took quite that long. I have a pretty new media center and I was like this cannot be right. So tonight I was messin around and I burnt a cd in like 3 minutes no joke. I was like thank GOD! So I am way happy about that. Pat on my shoulder. If you know me that is quite the accomplishment. What should be easy is not always that way for me and what should be hard sometimes comes really easy. Go figure. Anyways About a week ago went to see my uncle he did not look to well. My mom behaved herself. She has decided to let it go . Which I think is the best thing for now.

    Went to Red white and boom downtown on July 3rd. Had a good time. Met up with Sarah, Chad, Britt and some of their friends and family. Mike also met up with us and went. He took some pretty pictures and hopefully he will send me some eventually. No pressure hehehehehe. Not much else going on just trying to get another day together for another party. Anyways this is a short entry cause I have stuff to do so I will update more later. Happy Summer bitches!!!!!!

          Well I have a few things to blog on. I don&apos;t know if i mentioned previously but my uncle is not doing to well. He has colon cancer. He is also married to my aunt that just had her breast cancer removed. Anyhow he has not officially told anyone this. When my mom went to see my aunt she seen how bad he looked and how much weight he lost so she started questioning him. He was defensive to say the least. Well somehow my mom talked my aunt into going to his Dr. to find out what was up. Well she found he has colon cancer and was told in Feb. That he probably had less than a year. So he obviously did not want to tell anyone or for them to know. So for the past 2 weeks when my mom has went to visit she has been questioning him and basically badgering him about what is wrong. She wants him to say it. This past Saturday it got intense. He got really mad and told her she could leave any time. Of course her being stubborn she didn&apos;t. He still never admitted anything. I asked her well you know he only has so much time why are you so intent on making him say it it&apos;s not really any of your buisness. She seems to think since it&apos;s her brother it is her buisness. I can see her concern but he does not want to talk about it. Maybe he is in denial whatever that is his choice. He does not have to tell anyone anything he does not want to and he will when and if he is ready. Maybe he has acceptted it and maybe not. It might be the day he dies that he finally accepts it. Regardless the only person he would owe it to tell is his wife. I just do not in any way understand why she feels the need to badger him and just make things uncomfortable with the time they have left. I am afraid that the shit is going to hit the fan and they won&apos;t be on good terms if she keeps this up. I just don&apos;t know why it so important to her for him to say it??? Can somone please explain. I am going with her this Saturday to visit and I have already said she better not pull this while I am there. I guess he was so mad this past week he told her to leave was shaking. So her blood pressure went up. I mean really what is the point? Enjoy the time you have left if and when he is ready he will say it out loud for you all to hear. Until then just leave it be.


    Work was and has been kinda hectic. In the middle of a major re-model and the shit just keeps coming in. Lol. I mean you know they could let us skip a holiday or  a distibution of crap we did not order or want anyhow right? NOT. It&apos;s not been to bad though. Everyone in the deptarment has really been trying to keep up on things and working really hard. I have a great crew. I have said it before and I said it again.  As long as we stick together and keep each other in the loop we will survive just fine. Wow today we got ripped off for 20 bucks damn scandelous customers. Then while was up there at the service desk trying to figure out that mess another customer was giving the young girl at the service desk hell about something she had no control over. She wanted a refund on liqour well uh state law once you buy it it&apos;s yours there are no refunds soooo you alcoholics better make sure you get the right vodka the first time. So the girl who is only 17 mind you tells the lady I cannot do it it&apos;s the state law the mean ass customer says Your kidding right I did not even leave the fucking store. See I give that girl props cause me I woulda turned on that bitch real quick. So the girl tells her This is not my fault and you do not need to talk me like that. Anyways people sooooooo suck sometimes lol. Needless to say they eventually had to call a manager cause this lady was not having it. She cussed him too.  I feel for our managers they have to put up with mega shit. In today&apos;s society people do not care if they scream and cuss you in a store full of people. Then they can go home call corporate and they apologize profuesly and send them like a $ 50 gift certificate????? WTF you get rewarded for acting a fool call corporate and lying your ass off about the situation right or wrong. I understand customers are an important and vital part of our business I mean without them no reason to be there but uh do you really want these people coming back? They are gonna think they can come into your business and do it when they feel the need. I mean the whole store stops. So everyone is listening and watching. Is that what you really want your customers seeing on a regular basis in your store? Anyways that has not so much happened at the one I am at now but my other store I was at yeah happened quite often.

   So tomorow I am going to Penzones finally and get my hair cut and some highlites. I am way overdue and I am excited. Not to mention I will be getting my very first professional upper body massage. Soooo looking forward to that. Miss Sarah is going along as well and I am excited to see what she decides to do with her hair. She will look good no matter what though cause she&apos;s just got it like that little bitch :-)~  Well I think I am done ranting and I am ready to relax my next 2 days off. I am kinda dreading Saturday because Lord knows what my mom might pull this week. Before we go though I am gonna seriously try to talk to her about this whole deal. Wish me luck cause she is stubborn as a bull. No joke. Looking forward to July 3. I hope it&apos;s not to damn hot or humid cause we are soooo going to downtown to watch red white and boom. Missed it last year cause I was way into my I don&apos;t really care don&apos;t wanna go anywhere or associate with anyone at all mood. So we watched on tv and well it was nice and looked like one of the better displays they had in the past few years but not nearly as cool as being there. This year I am gonna be there. Been a long hard year but things are getting better cause I took the right steps to make them better. So with some positive thinking ( which was not always easy when your where I was) and some happy pills that I no longer take  things finally are getting and feeling back to normal. There are just some things in life that are beyond your control. So it&apos;s okay to need and ask for help sometimes. Anyways I am done for now but expect more good stuff to follow. Oh and yeah Way to go Hurricanes for hositing the cup! You give me hope.

         Okay so I have not really been into the Stanley cup finals this year but I have been catching the last games of the series. First of all I really am surprised the Oilers made it this far. Also been watching because well this is the last of hockey I will see until late September. The big reason though is there is nothing like the play-offs. I mean that is some intense hockey. These guys come out 110% each game till they are gone or moving on. I hope to see some playoff games in Columbus in the future. I know the fans here would be insane. I am not really rooting for a particular team since my team was not even close to getting in the finals and my back up team the Stars were booted in the first round. Would be nice to see Carolina win though. Why? Well because they have the prettier uniforms HA. Girlie I know but red is my favorite color. Also I don&apos;t believe they have ever won the cup. It&apos;s always nice to see a team get that first major win. Gives me hope for my boys someday hositing the cup up in our arena.

  Work is work. They have started building the expansion part of the store moving along with that pretty quickly. They are also starting to tear up the floors and stuff inside. Insane dust down the aisle they have dug up. I know it&apos;s only going to get worse before it gets better. Been there done that before but not quite to this extreme. One thing I can say about m job is it&apos;s always a different learning experience from time to time. I mean yeah there are days it sucks and there is always going to be drama with people and there will be things that you cannot control but such is life and how boring it would be without the minor and major inconveinances. You can eithier grow from it or let it drag you down. All in all though I have met some great people had some great times and learned many things from my job. I have bad days and sometimes months where I just did not think I could go in and do it another day.  Don&apos;t even need to get into all those dark times but there were def some.  Some recent and not so recent. I just try to keep my head up and do the best I can even when I was battling some depression. Enough about all that I live half of my life at work as it is don&apos;t wanna talk about it all the time .

       Well I finally got to hear Breaking Benjamins new song. Pretty good stuff. Hope their whole new album is that good when it drops August 8th. I have heard they are gonna be here in July for a concert I am kicking around the idea of going. Also kicking around the idea of going to the 3 doors down concert. I am thinking that one is not gonna happen though. I am just not at all excited about who they are with so I don&apos;t feel like paying an arm and leg for just one band. Plus I am still dealing with things and there are times and days I don&apos;t want to associate with anyone or go anywhere. I am getting better though and I can tell. So that&apos;s a good thing. Anyways I am outta here for now so until next time.............Whateva

           Wow I could sooo hang people out to dry here but I won&apos;t ...Why you ask? Well what happens at the Bowers stays at the Bowers. HA! I do have to say that people swimming in the dogs pool was great and the breaking of my plastic chair was the two big highlites of the evening. Point is though we all had a good time and we all needed it. Been on vacation since Saturday and having a good time. Friday night I went out with Paula and her mom salsa dancing and had a really good time. I will definitely have to go and do that again. The hubby and I went to see the movie  The Da Vinci code. It was decent. A little predictable but good. Tonight we went to see The Omen. Not bad and there was one part that made me jump. Just really been taking it easy and doing what we want when we want. It&apos;s always nice not to have to set your alarm for a whole week. Anyways I will post again sometime later this week probably.

           Well today was the big day. The big 3-0. Did not really do anything special went to work came home has some dinner. Then I was feeling kind of tired so I took a nap. When I woke up had a message. Also some of my friends sent me Happy Birthday wishes last night by text after 1 am. Not a big deal cause I was awake but I was in bed almost sleep. Somewhere in the middle. I am usually awake then but I did have to work at 8 am so I was trying to be good and go to sleep. Anyhow we will be partying it up next Monday for the birthday it just worked out better that way. I did get some cool stuff for my b-day. Got the new James Blunt cd I wanted. The new super mario brothers for my DS. 2 new Yankee candles and the book called Marley and me. My hubby got me all those. Also got some b-day money $75 bucks woo hoo. So I bought myself the new sims expansion pack and well the rest I will spend when I find something I want. My mom has me some stuff but I have to get over to her house to get it. My aunt took me out to dinner on Friday. So it&apos;s been a good b-day.

            Well this evening my mom calls me to tell me on my birthday that my Uncle has cancer. Like she coulda waited another day but noooooooo. This is the same uncle who is married to my aunt that has breast cancer again. I guess he has had it for awhile now but my aunt just informed her. I am guessing maybe he did not want to tell anyone? Anyhow everytime I talk to my mom she is talking about death or when she dies or this or that or so and so looks bad and this is not good etc. I mean I know these things happen and are gonna happen. Do we need to talk about it everytime we do have a conversation?? I mean wtf? I don&apos;t want to talk to her half the time because it always goes to something morbid if you will. Anyhow back to my uncle I guess he has had it awhile and decided to not have anything done about it. So I don&apos;t know how long he will be around now. It&apos;s depressing. Such is life though.  Anyways I am done ranting now. So until next time... If you have depressing news I don&apos;t really want to know about it right now. Also don&apos;t go telling people sad shit on their birthday.

            Well in less than a week I will be 30. Wow hard for me to believe. I certainly don&apos;t feel like I am 30. I suppose that is a good thing. Not many people believe it eithier. That is a good thing too. Hopefully I am saying the same shit when I am turning 40. Wow in ten years I will be considered over the hill. Never thought these days would come. It&apos;s cool though. I am not stressing about it like some people I know have. I also didn&apos;t think this is where I would be in life eithier but than again I don&apos;t worry to much about the future. I mean life is journey and most of the time it blows but I go through it day to day to see what&apos;s gonna happen next. There are great things in life and it&apos;s usually the little things that bring you the most happiness.

       Been looking at some houses online. I am just not into it right now. Gives me a headache and I know we have some time left here. I do hope to find something reasonable we can both love and or at least like and live with. I am sure we will just going to take some time. It&apos;s amazing to me in a matter of months how life can change. I know it can all change in a day. I am just ready to get out of this house because as much as I do love it and all I loathe it just the same. It&apos;s been a big mess for awhile now and something has to change and that&apos;s what we are doing. I love it because it was new and updated compared to some homes we looked at. We were able to choose everything from our cabinets to the door handles, carpet color, kitchen tile, bathroom tile, heck even our outlet cover colors. Things that get on my nerves are the water never gets really hot in the winter but is way to hot in the summer. Yeah we have tried adjusting the temperature. Does not work. Also paying way to much for it, Um it&apos;s caused many financial hardships. This house is going to change my whole life as I know it right now here really soon. I can accept that though. I am ready for some changes. I am tired of working to just pay a house payment. Never having any real cash to spend just because. Sure I could go charge whatever I wanted but that to is going to change. Never being able to afford a vacation to somewhere other than PA to visit with the family. In all reality it&apos;s to big of a house for just us and the dogs. Way to much to clean. There are many other loves and hates but the hates so outway the loves. When you get down to it all in the end It&apos;s only a house. I am sure I will find one I can love and hate again but maybe this time around go the smart route and have much more love.

   My Aunt and Uncle are here from Florida visitng. My Uncle is not doing so hot or looking so good so my mom tells me. They stay at her house and I hooked up with mom and my aunt tonight for a late dinner. I will see my uncle sometime this week. My aunt wants to take me out to eat for my birthday. She hopes he will feel well enough to go along. Also this week my Aunt who lives in Newark had to have surgery to have her right breast removed. I feel so bad for her. It was five years ago this month she had to have her left one removed. She was unable to get a implant because the cancer was so far into her lymphnodes and up under her arm they thought it about impossible not to mention not a good idea. So she got a prothesis. I thought she went through all of it beautifully. She was positive she was not afraid to talk about it or to show if you wanted to see and understand. I can only hope that I would be able to hold up that way under such circumstances. She has been in my prayers since I found out and I hope that she goes through this whole ordeal again as well as she did last time. I am not saying it was easy or anything but she did so well. As well as can be expected with cancer. With losing a part of you that has pretty much always been there. She is a role model in how she handled it all. I suppose I need to tell her this and someday I plan to do just that. I hope that she kicks cancers ass once again. She took her sisters youngest daughter she was about 5 or 6 years old because her sister had developed MS and she has been raising her ever since. She did this when she was nearing retirement after her own son was long gone. She helped oversee her sisters care. She is about to be 15 and Well my aunt needs to be here to see her through to her graduation and onto the rest of her life. It&apos;s just scray to me how many people are now getting this disease. It&apos;s nice to know though how more mainstream it has become within the public eye. Much more awareness and if you catch it early you have a fighting chance.


      I have lots of things on my mind lately and I have been trying to deal the best I can. I have alot on my plate right now but I know it could be so much worse. I am thankful for the things I do have and that I am comfortable and warm at night. That I have a good core behind me like my mom and husband and some friends. I have my 3 four legged babies and they are always at the door so happy to see me come home. I have my health which is not perfect but again I am better off than lots of people out there.  For all that and many more things I am thankful.

          Just wanted to take a minute to say thanks to all the mothers out there who do their job and do it well.

    Last week I watched the Soprano&apos;s and it was good. It reminded me of some of the past seasons of the show. Finally, but of course the season is almost over. I just hope the final 7 episodes are so kick ass it&apos;s not funny. Had invemtory last Sunday that went pretty well. Some things could have been better like our hole count. It kills me though the previous 2 trucks before the last one we were to get before inventory were pretty darn big. Anthony ordered one of them and I ordered one of them. I just hate it when we all try so hard to get it perfect and something stupid happens like that. I guess they are going to start building the addition to our store sometime this coming week. They have already posted signs that the RX drive thru will be shut down. So things are gonna be changing big time over the next few months. It&apos;s exciting but at the same time I know what a big pain in the ass it will be at times.

    Not much else going on. So there are a few thoughts and I will write again sometime this week.

         Just had to to write a short entry for this grand of days. Anyways hard to believe it&apos;s been a year, but it has. I have not really been writing lately nothing much to I want to put out here to the world or really happenening. Hockey is over and I am glad about that. Good to take a break but by fall I will be ready for it alll over again. Last season started off horrible and it was a tough season to go to the games. Then after the winter Olympic break something happened and we started playing better. Def easier to go to games when you know we can win and that the team is really putting in the effort to do so. So here we are once again crossing our fingers and saying maybe next season. Making it to the playoffs would be awesome and hopefully next year right around this time I will be attending some playoff games.

     Work is work we have inventory in a week and a day. Not stressinn about it things are going well. I know there is always something that will pop up last minute and we are like WTF? How did we miss that? 

   Been watching the Soprano&apos;s not quite the season I expected been a few cool things happen and surprises but I don&apos;t think this is one of the better season&apos;s to be honest. Last week was a pretty boring episode. Needless to say I have to wrap this up so I can catch this week&apos;s episode hopefully this week&apos;s will be better.

   So until next time......................................................

          Yeah all the crazies come out to play. Never fails warmer weather brings out the idiots, troublemakers and stupid drivers.  So thing have been going well work is okay. I have a trainee this week and next. He is a weird one. Like no sense of humor and I have to constantly have him shadow me at work like all the time. I have found a new drink I like thanks to Anthony. Long Island Ice teas yeah baby. Um Mike is mad at me cause I did not mention that HE was the one who brought Nash back. Well here it is for you in black and white. Thank you so much for giving me the oppurtuntiy ti meet my future husband! HA . I am sorry I overlooked that little fact while I was still high from the fact I met him. I mean think about it you meet like someone you have always wanted to meet and they are so nice and so much better looking and tall in person than you would have thought, well it tends to throw you off a bit. I know you would not understand though because you are so un-fazed by it all. Yeah you are that super cool and smooth. I just wish that I could aspire to be like that someday. I know it&apos;s by far a longshot but a girl can dream right ? In all honesty though thanks it made for one hell of a night after a really bad day at work.

    Well kids that is all I have to say for now so until next time.......I love Mike cause he is the best so cool and unfazed by it all.
