Hectic Day

Today was one of those days that you have millions thing happening at once.
Work was crazy at the office this morning. After our weekly staff meeting I didn’t even get a chance to breathe.

It is now 7:49PM and the only thing I had all day is a cup of coffee around 10:30am and a banana at 2:00Pm.
On my way home I get a call from little baby nieces' Day Care Center that she was sick and I was listed as an Emergency Contact. Detoured to pick her up then I cancelled my 7:15Pm appointment. Then my Mom called me to ask if I could pass by the bank and get some money to do some groceries shopping since I was leaving this evening for Richmond, VA. She was going to be home alone this weekend and she didn’t want to leave the house.
Thank God I packed most of my stuff last night which was the reason I didn’t go to bed until 2am just wake up at 7am surely not enough sleep.
Missed my appointment with the hairdresser, now I have to wash my own hair and style it. ( so so so wrong) because I don’t have the time. And I certainly don’t want to do it.
Any ways I think I am going to finish my rambling to my travel mates.

And my niece is fine. I guess she was just a little home sick. She is here with my mom watching TV together. Waiting for her mom who will be by the pick her up at 9pm.


Catch you all later :) I Hope you guys have or had a better day!

They sat facing each other for about 5 hours between a group of friends at a night out. Every once in a while there eyes would meet. And by meeting, actually really looking into each others eyes trying to figure out what was going on thru the other persons head.
Then the group discussion would divert them from those moments. They joined the topic listening to whoever was talking at the time till when they both turn at the same time facing each other again. And just look and smile or hurry up and look away. Then to look back and watch each other when the other person was not looking just to be caught staring. This went on the entire time they were together just to leave without saying a word to each other about the whole situation.
Confused and just trying to make out what was that all about? They met again and both avoided looking at the other.

My visit to the Optometrist

Last Wednesday I was looking thru a magnifying glass and found that I was having Double vision. So I thought maybe it's just the Machine that I was using. Then I asked my mom to look thru it and she said that she was seeing everything fine. That nothing was out of the normal.
I started freaking out, like what do you mean you don't have double vision like me. It can't be... My vision is good I don't have any problems with my sight.
I tried and tried and tried again but I was still having double or unfocused vision. I booked an appointment today to go and see the Eye Doctor.
I was there for about an 1hour and 30min. The doctor did several tests and said everything was perfect. This were here actually word " Miss ... Your vision is PERFECT! Lots of people would want to have you eye sight. Everything is just fine :))"
Me: Oh!! Thank you. I hope I won't have the same problem again.
Doc: You shouldn't but if for some reason you have any other issue come and see me :)
Me: (smiling) Thank you :)
Doc: Great, Becky will check you out and you don't have to see me in probably next 2 years to have a routine exam!
Me: Thanks again Suzanne


I am just glad that everything is okay. I really thought I was going to have some problems. Because my Dad wears glasses so does my sister and my older brother. I thought I was joining the league. But thank God I don't have to yet! Yeahhhhhhhhh :)

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

One of my Favorite Artits

Artist: Celine Dion
Album: A New Day Has Come
Title: A New Day Has Come

A new day, oh..oh..
A new day, oh..oh..
I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear

Through the darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you

Hush, now

I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believeI've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun
A new day has... come

Oh...

Where it was dark now there's light
Where there was pain now there's joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy
Hush, now

I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believeI've been touched by an angel with love

Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun

A new day has...

Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun
A new day has... come

Ohhh
Hush, now

I see a light in your eyes
All in the eyes of the boy

I can't believeI've been touched by an angel with love
I can't believeI've been touched by an angel with love

Hush, now
(Ahh..ahh...
A new day...
Ahh..Ahh..)
Hush, now
(Ahh..Ahh..
A new day...)

Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die. This is so priceless, and so easy to see happening, customer service being what it is today.
A lady died this past January, and Citibank billed her for February and March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and then added late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance had been $0.00, now it is somewhere around $60.00!

A family member placed a call to Citibank:
"Family Member: "I am calling to tell you that she died in January.
"Bank:"The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.
"Family Member: "Maybe, you should turn it over to collections.
"Bank: "Since it is two months past due, it already has been.
"Family Member: So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?
"Bank: "Either report her account to the frauds division or report her to the credit bureau, maybe both!
"Family Member: "Do you think God will be mad at her?
"Bank: "Excuse me?
"Family Member: "Did you just get what I was telling you - the part about her being dead?
"Bank: "Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor.

"Supervisor gets on the phone:"

Family Member: "I'm calling to tell you, she died in January.
"Bank: "The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.
"Family Member: "You mean you want to collect from her estate?
"Bank: (Stammer) "Are you her lawyer?
"Family Member: "No, I'm her great nephew." (Lawyer info given)
Bank: "Could you fax us a certificate of death?
"Family Member: "Sure." (fax number is given)After they get the fax

Bank: "Our system just isn't set-up for death. I don't know what more Ican do to help.
"Family Member: "Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her. I don't think she will care.
"Bank: "Well, the late fees and charges do still apply.
"Family Member: "Would you like her new billing address?
"Bank: "That might help.
"Family Member: "Odessa Memorial Cemetery, Highway 129, Plot Number 69."

This does not surprise me at all :(

Asking for Prayers

Yesterday a dear friend asked me to pray for a mutual friend that was in a car accident this past Sunday. He just told me that the guy was in an Hospital and that he was recovering. I tried to get more information from him but he wouldn't tell me. He just told me to wait until he gets more details on his conditions and his whereabouts.
I was concerned but I didn't press the issue since he wouldn't elaborate. For some reason I decided to call a friend of mine that I haven't spoken to in a long while. And he told me about the same friend that I was told about last night.
He told me that on his way from Columbus to Cincinnati last Sunday he was involved in an car accident. The thing that I didn't know was that he broke his back and his neck. I am so scared it's not even real. I just can't imagine him being in that condition. What makes it worst for me to imagine is that I was just with him Tuesday night last week. And we talked and was laughing and just had fun. Then today he laying somewhere in a hospital bed. I don't even know if he is conscious of what is going on around him. I just want to cry and cry and cry; but I keep telling myself that he is going to be okay. He is going to be OKAY. I just feel hopeless and I don't know what I can do for him to be better. I keep seeing him in my mind teasing me last Tuesday while he was complimenting me on a speech I gave. And his smile was so sincere I felt so good about myself.
I can't imagine what his wife and kids might be going thru at this time. For some reason I can't reach any of his close relatives on the phone so I can go and see him.
Everyone that I spoke to only have his personal cell number. Which he is not picking up because I am sure he is not in a state to do so.

So I am asking whoever that reads this blog to send your prayer to (Bocar N.) and may he feel better soon. He was in surgery for 8 hours yesterday and he is scheduled for some more surgery this week. Please guys/gals including him in you prayers.

Thank you,

Diamon

To Love or Settle for being Loved

She asked me what do you think I should do? Because she said, I am really confused. I don't want to make a mistake but I don't know if I want to pay the price of loosing being loved.

It all started about 5 years ago. At the age of 17 all her family members were pressuring her about coming up to age of marriage. They told her of course we want to you to finish your education and so forth. We just want to make sure that your future is secured. That now was the time to choose from several offers so called "suitors". That it was shameful for a girl that was close to her 20's and still not betrothed. Since they kept telling her that they will not choose her fiance for her, that the choice was hers on who she wants to marry. She declined all offers of marriage. After a year her family realized that she was serious about not wanting to be married so soon. So they gave her an ultimatum which conditions she didn't share. So she cried and cried and cried but it seemed that her tears were shed in vain.
Finely her mom and dad both choose each a candidate for her to be affianced with.
Of course mamma's choice won over dad's. But she was not a happy camper. Every time her fiance came to take her out for them to get to know each other. She would tell him that she really didn't want to marry him. And that she was only her fiance because she didn't have a choice in the matter. Hoping that by telling him that would make him back off. On this occasion also her efforts were wasted. Because her fiance would not believed that to be the truth.

Now 5 years have passed and she has finely worked the strength to leave and face the consequences with her family. At least today she says that she has support from her mom and sisters that if she is not happy with him then it best maybe that they should part before they are children in the picture.
But that's the tricky part. Because her husband will not give her the divorce that she has been asking for. It's been 2 years since they had separated and 1 year since her demand of a divorce. He keeps telling her that he needs some more time for him to let go. That he is willing to fight for they have.
And the crazy part in all this is that she really knows that her husband loves her very much. She has absolutely no doubt about that. But she also feels that it's not fair for him to give when she knows that she can't give back. Nowadays every conversation that they have over the phone ends in an argument.
And he is playing on her insecurities telling her that she will have regrets if she succeeds on having her divorce.
And that was one of her greatest fears. To be put in the same situation that her husband is in right now. Because she keeps telling me : If I ever found love and the person that I love didn't want me. Or if they treated me badly. Will it be worth loosing being Loved and cherished?

That I said to her : your guess is as good as mine. Because I don't know what I would have done if I was in your position.

(sighing heavily) Life -why does it have to be so difficult????

Men and Women the battle continues

Applying for a Job at the CIA

A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. These highly classified positions are hard to fill, and there's a lot of testing and background checks involved before you can even be considered for the position. After sending some applicants through the background checks, training and testing, they narrowed the possible choices down to two men and a woman, but only one position was available.
The day came for the final test to see which peson would get the extremely secretive job. The CIA men administering the test took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow our instructions whatever the circumstances," they explained. "Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her." The man looked horrified and said, "You can't be serious! I could never shoot my wife!" "Well," said the CIA man, "you're definitely not the right man for this job then."
So they brought the second man to the same door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances," they explained to the second man. "Inside you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her." The second man looked a bit shocked, but nevertheless took the gun and went in the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes; then the door opened. The man came out of the room with tears in his eyes. "I tried to shoot her; I just couldn't pull the trigger and shoot my wife. I guess I'm not the right man for the job."
"No," the CIA man replied, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home."
Now they only had the woman left to test. They led her to the same door to the same room and handed her the same gun. "We must be sure that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances; this is your final test. Inside you will find your husband sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill him." The woman took the gun and opened the door. Before the door even closed all the way, the CIA men heard the gun start firing, one shot after another for 13 shots. Then all hell broke loose in the room. They heard screaming, rashing, and banging on the walls. This went on for several minutes; then all went quiet.
The door opened slowly, and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "You guys didn't tell me the gun was loaded with blanks. I had to beat the son of a bitch to death with the chair!"



I Like Your Thinking

A teacher asks her class, ''If there are 5 birds sitting on a fence and you shoot one of them, how many will be left?'' She calls on little Johnny.
''None, they all fly away with the first gunshot.''
The teacher replies, ''The correct answer is 4, but I like your thinking.'' Then Little Johnny says, ''I have a question for YOU. There are three women sitting on a bench having ice cream. One is delicately licking the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream. The second is gobbling down the top and sucking the cone. The third is biting off the top of the ice cream. Which one is married?''
The teacher, blushing a great deal, replies, ''Well I suppose the one that's gobbled down the top and sucked the cone.''
''The correct answer is the one with the wedding ring on...but I like your thinking.''

So embarrassing

Yesterday I finely got a chance to take my car to the shop for an oil change. When I got there the guy asked me if I had at least an hour to wait for it to be done. And my reply was " that is about all the time I have to get it done. Just an hour, please do not let it go over I have to be somewhere. He says no problem not over 1hour just sign here and wait in the room. He was really cool.
So I sat in the waiting area . There was only guys in the room, so before I started reading my book, I said hello and some small talk and then that was it; they carried on with whatever conversation they were having.
After 20 minutes the Tech comes in the room and said "Miss, your almost didn't have any oil in you car. We only had about 2 oz taken out. That is not good miss. When was the last time you had the oil changed?
Me: Uhhh, I can't remember.( have a very sad face) and the Tech says " well you are suppose to do it every 3000 miles or 3 months whichever comes 1st"
Me: I know, I know it's just that that uhhhh I don't know. The Tech goes " this is bad"
Me: I am sorry? I just didn't have time that's all. Then he said well just make sure to keep track this time. I am saying this because this is very bad for your car. Me "thank you very much. I will pay attention this time"
After he left, I looked around every body was staring at me. I go: I know I am suppose to get the oil changed. But I just lost track of time. Every body started giving me advice on how I should really be careful not to do it again. That I may get stranded on a deserted road without help. I just listened and said thank you.
But Gosh, I was so embarrassed its not even funny. I was thinking on what they might think of me. You know, that I probably don't have the common sense how to take care of my car. Which they are probably right judging by this incident.
Any ways I couldn't not wait to get out there. While lounging today I remembered the whole thing, and just started laughing. I really wanted to choke that Tech though for making me feel stupid.

But then I know that I deserved it. So....

Should I be flattered? Or what?

The other day I went to the post office to drop of some mail.
I was pulling out of the street at the stop sign to get into Livingston Ave. when this Old man made a turn to get in the post office drive way. And he just stopped there and smiled at me. So I smiled back. Then he said this are his word and I quote:
Old man: you are a very beautiful young lady
Moi: Uhh, thank you
Old man: yes, you are very pretty
Moi: uhh, thank you
Old man: Nice to meet you
Moi: "grinning" nice to meet you too. (Mind you, that I am really holding my laughter)
Old man: So do you want a Sugar Daddy?
Moi: Uhh (have a confused face) what?
Old man: Can I be your Sugar Daddy?
Moi: NO thanks,
Old man: Are u sure? I will take care of you.
Moi: No, I can take care of myself thank you very much.
Old man: um um um (shaking his head, and smiling) then he drove off.
I just sat there in my car and said to my self: wow, what in the world was that?
Seriously I was trying to make sure that I wasn’t dreaming. I mean this guy looked like he was in his fifties or sixties. I was thinking this is someone’s Grad-Pa.
No I wasn’t dreaming, it actually had just happened. I really don’t know if I should be flattered or be sickened by it. Really? I mean how crazy was that?
I still don’t know how I feel about it. Most definitely a weird experience.
If this had happened couple years ago I know would have been mad at the guy. I would have called him names of something. I don’t think I did anything for him to say that to me? Or did I? I don’t know, I am confused. But leaving the sick part aside it’s kind of embarrassing and funny. Isn’t it?

For those who don’t know what “Sugar Daddy” means
sugar daddy: a wealthy older man who gives a young person expensive gifts in return for friendship or itimacy.

On second thoughts after reading this I am actually fuming. We can call it delayed reaction.

Gosh what did I do to deserve this?
