My lucky fountain

I made a wish on this fountain months back I think it was in fall last year. Among my tons of wishes one of them included not have any crazy winter this year. With that said can I just say that I LOVE this winter. Why? Because we haven't had a winter this year. I think we only had snow for couple of weeks and that's it. The rest just have been sleet rain and by the time it's noon all the ice has melted away. For instance the highest temperature today is going to be 49 degrees. But it's sunny outside. Just beautiful. It feels awesome, I was just wondering if my wishes were answered this year. Or it's just pure coincidence anyways I will take either.
But then the negative side you scoop up at work all day you just watch the beautiful days pass you by. Sound kind of depressing. But let me stick to the subject here. So what kind of weather make you feel upbeat and on the go?
We only have 49 days to go until it is officially spring so I will keep my fingers crossed until then. But I really love this "winter" makes me want say to God lets do that every year. Or maybe drop some change at the fountain if that will expedite the request. The fountain is locate at Easton mall in columbus if anyone wanted to know. And all the money goes to a charities .
The program is called Change for Charity and the money goes to charities like:
Salvation Army
Salesian Boys & Girls Club of Columbus
Columbus Cancer Clinic
Children’s Hunger Alliance
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Ohio
A Special Wish Foundation
Adventures for Wish Kids
King Arts Complex
I Know I Can
Hope Street Kids
The James Cancer Hospital
Community Shelter Board
Columbus Coalition Against Family Violence

Running on Auto


Yeah this week has been totally weird. I keep doing things without being aware of them. I got into a routine so much that I don't realize ever doing things at all. I guess I have been busy multitasking that it kind of became second nature. So the challenge is to concentrate on everything I do and make sure that I am consciously aware of things that are around me.
Couple of examples : yesterday at work one of my colleagues was leaving early so him and his buddy came to my office to wish me a good weekend and blah blah blah. While they were there I working on some report on the computer while I was put on hold over the phone. So T was telling H hey man I am out. You have a good weekend. And some other things...
The whole time I am answering the guy without even knowing it. Then the office got so quiet I turned to look at them and they both burst out laughing. H said hey give me that stuff you in woman that is some really good stuff. I was so embarrassed, all I could do is laughed with them.
Then my cousin called me today and I saw her number on the caller ID . But when I answered the phone I was going thru my spiel of proper greeting and all that. You know the never ending greetings like how is you health, life, family, neighbor, cat, mouse you get my meaning.
She goes "what is up with you girl?" why are asking me all those questions? It's not like am some stranger to you or anything. So here again am apologizing to her for not paying attention while she called... And there are lots more of moments like these two.
Anyways I just thought the whole week was weird. But I think I am getting my self together. I am waiting for my cousin to stop buy so we can be out and do something. Get my mind some fresh things...

(Sigh!)

Dream Land


I finely got time to post my last week end in Florida. This was the most amazing trip ever. We had so much fun that I forgot I was going to go back in the real world. We spend 2 days in Disney World, 1 day at the beach and the whole Saturday stuck in the airport.
I don't know how this guy got the dream to build Disney but I was certainly amazed by it. That was a 1000% dream made into reality. I always thought that Disney World was for strictly for Kids but I can say that I was wrong. True that it is so fun that you feel like a kid again but as an adult I can sure say that you are going to have a blast while there.
Everything is like you are in a fairy land. So beautiful and colorful. The rides are as good scary and fun at the same time. Plus there is also the Transit that you can visit Magic Mountain from the top. We visited Animal Kingdom, Magic Mountain, Epcot and the MGM studios. My cousin got an internship there so we got to all the park for Free. That was a plus.
My cousins are going back in April with my Ant to go visit I am so jealous right now. Because I know how much fun that trip will be.
And on Monday night we went to Pleasure Island which I can tell you deserve it's name. There are a whole acre of Clubs different categories that you can choose from what mood you are in the night. And it is so green palm trees every where... Just Heaven.
Next time I go to Florida I will have to make sure that I have a Whole week so I can see more.
The funny thing is Friday night I drove around Columbus to find rechargable batteries for my Kodak camera. Now that I was able to take pictures when I got back home I couldn't find my USB cord to upload the pictures in my computer. But I am still looking for it hopefully I will find it soon and will share the pictures with you.
I wish....
The picture on the top is one the scary Elevator drop that you will ever be in. Yes I mean Drop.

Last minute decision...

I finely decided to go with my cousin to Orlando Florida this weekend. Actually we are going to bully my second cousin who just got an internship in Disney World couple weeks ago. Well not bully just making sure everything is alright with her. And to give some unwanted advice. But we have to play the Big sister role since mommy can't make it there.
I was just surfing the net to see what are the places we can visit or check out while we are there.
But then I thought every thing online may seem all great. But I know "word of mouth" referral works best. Unless if the person just had a bad luck day, then you really don't want to listen to them. Anyway I just thought of it now, so come on people I need insight.
We are flying out of OH on Saturday morning and staying there until late Tuesday night.
I know some of you will probably read the post a little bit too late. But I am being optimistic here and will be checking the post even Sat morning at 7am since I have to be at the airport by 8AM

Thanks in Advance,
Diamon. ;0)
