WELL!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU TOO!

Several years ago, I was on my way to work. It was my first work day after New Year's. I was thinking about my New Year's Resolutions. I made this mental list: I'm gonna work harder and have a positive attitude. I'm gonna be a better wife, mother, co-worker, etc. I'm gonna lose weight, save money, etc. By the time I got to work I was all pumped up. I was in a really good mood. I hopped out of the car and went bopping into the office.
One of my co-workers back then was a real pain. We called her mean ole blah blah. She was sitting in the break room eating her breakfast. I walked in with a big smile on my face.

Me: Happy New Year, Blah, Blah!

Blah Blah: I've made a New Year's Resolution.

Me: I've made some too. What's yours?

Blah Blah: I'm not gonna take any shit off anybody.

Clearly, she and I had very different New Year's resolutions!!!!!

COOL PATTERN ON TOWER BUILDING

I took these pictures this morning on my way into work. There was the coolest sun pattern on the old Tower Building this morning! It's not called the Tower Building anymore. I think they call it The Catline Prine Building (I don't think I've got that spelled right either). It will always be the Tower Building to me. I used to work on the 13th floor and people would call us from the lobby and want us to come down to meet them because they were afraid of the 13th floor! Also, the elevator would announce each floor. It was like having Kraftwerk in the elevator with you. Floor 12 - pocket calculator!!!! He, he. Anyway, the pattern was beautiful!

RAINBOWS

The Editor and I were on our way from his "city house" to my "country house" last weekend and we saw this rainbow on the way. I'm not sure if you can see it in the pictures but there were actually two rainbows side by side! They were beautiful!

OH YEAH! MERRY X-MAS/HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ME!!!!

So for X-MAS, one of the things The Editor got me are tickets to Eagles of Death Metal. Yeah, that's right, those bad boys are gonna play at Juanita's in February.....Friday the 13th.....that seems.....appropriate. I can't wait. Better get your tickets fast. I bet this sells out!!!!!

This is the first in her series about Harper Connelly. Harper was hit by lightening and since then....when she gets close to a dead body, she can tell how that person died. If they were murdered, she can't tell who the killer is but she can see how they died. She can also tell when she is close to a dead body (like if she's walking through the woods). People hire her to walk through areas where a dead body may be located. I liked this book. That makes four different series I've read written by Charlaine Harris and I've found each one of them interesting!

I HAVE A COLD!!!!!!!

Nope! I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I have a cold! Sneezing, runny/stuffy nose, headache, sore throat. The works. The Editor got it first a couple of days before X-MAS, then I got it X-MAS night! He's pretty much over it and I'm feeling better today but just haven't felt like blogging. I've done nothing but read and cross stitch and play with my new IPOD NANO that I got for X-MAS. I'm hoping I'll be back to normal in a few days!!!!!

Set in the fictitious town of Shakespeare, Arkansas, this is the first book in a series about a gal who cleans houses and solves murders. I really enjoy Charlaine Harris' writing style.

DON'T PUT OUT THE LIGHT IN THE STABLE TOMORROW NIGHT!

AUTHOR – ELIZABETH GOUDGE

TITLE – ISLAND MAGIC

Ranulph suddenly decided that it was his duty to go and put out that light in the stable – no point in wasting oil. He was half-way across the room when he remembered his mother had told him as a small boy that no human being must set foot in the stables at midnight on Christmas Eve. It was the animals’ hour. The poor ill-treated donkey, kicked and cuffed through the centuries, yet permitted to carry a King to Jerusalem; the cow, slaughtered for man’s food yet giving its own sweet hay for a babe to lie on; the horse and the dog who bear so patiently with the folly of human kind, these are safe from man and may worship alone and at peace. Ranulph decided to leave the light alone and sat down again.

This is the song "The Chauffeur". I remember the Duran Duran version. But I really like the version by Sleepthief too. Which one do you like the best?

SO EVERYBODY HAS ONE (OR MORE) LIKE THIS AT WORK, RIGHT?

QUOTE FROM:

"Lillian was one of those disagreeable people who yet have some redeeming qualities, so that you can't write them off entirely – but you sure wish you could. Furthermore, I worked with Lillian, so it was in my interest to keep peace with her. Lillian was narrow-minded and gossipy, talked about her husband and daughter until you wanted them to be swallowed up into an earthquake; she knew her job and did it competently, but with so much groaning and complaining about minute details that you wanted to smack her."

Here's your chance to read a book that has Elvis as one of it's characters and he's a vampire. Way too much fun. This is the first in a series of 8 (the ninth one is about to be published). This are the books that the HBO series "True Blood" is based on. Really, really good!
