Good evening, bloggers!

You know, sometimes I just have to wonder what on earth is wrong with some people. Tonight was the usual Saturday night that I get together with a friend that I use to work with. And, you know what he told me....I don't FEEL LIKE hanging out with you tonight with that cocky, arrogant tone in his voice. He's been acting like it's such a HUGE inconvience to hang out with me lately. It just feels like he wants to be my friend only when it's convient for him and just as long as no one else that we use to work with knows that we are friends and go out every other Saturday. I'm like are you kidding me! I blame myself really, because I allowed this to happen. But, tonight was the last straw. Either he's going to act like a friend is suppose to act or it's see ya later, buddy. I'm going to be 28 years old next month and it's about time that I get some back bone and let people know that they aren't going to treat me like some shameful secret or like they are better than I am. I was treated like this my entire life, and I'm not going to put up with it anymore. I'm much better then this! I use to wonder what was wrong with me that people don't want others to know that they are friends with me or whatever. But, I've slowing came to realize that it's not me at all.....it's them! It alway has been them! I'm sorry I've been holding that in all day, so it felt good to vent it out a little. I can't seem to hold things in like I use to. Things just get to me a little more than they use to.

Stephen has been really sweet with all of this, too. He knows that I don't have hardly any other friends to hang out with. This guy is more like a father figure. And, Stephen knows him from when I worked at my previous job. So, it's not like I hang out with some young stud that he doesn't know from Adam. LOL!

Anyway, thankfully I don't have to go to ferderal jury duty!! Yeah! I really squicked by with this one! I was suppose to be on call for two weeks. This past week and all of next week. But, the LORD was on my side yet again!!

Things are going great at work. I'm ahead in my work still, so that's makes me very happy that I don't have to rush to get my work done by the end of the day. Our whse bozes were FINALLY picked up! They were only suppose to pick them up Oct 28th. Better late than never, I guess.

I did some major house cleaning this afternoon. My Aunt Mary is coming up tomorrow afternoon and I didn't want her to think I'm a slob, eventhough, I can be sometimes! Plus, with Thanksgiving being Thursday, I'd figures why not. I don't have the time or energy to clean when I get home from work during the week. I love they way my home smells right after it's been cleaned. It's like it's been refreshed! Now, all I really have to do are the small touch ups tomorrow like another run of the vacume and to change the sheets and flip the mattress over and go over our pics with a feather duster to make sure that no dust bunnies are left behind! LOL! I want my house to be sparkling for my Aunt Mary tomorrow. Now, that I'm thinking of it, this will be her first visit! So, of course I'm going to want to make a good impression!

Well, I'm feeling a little tired, so I guess I'll go get ready for bed. It's an early day for me tomorrow. So, on that note, enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Remember, Jesus Loves YOU!

Good grief...I'm really not doing so good with keeping up with this blog these days!

I've been so busy at work the last week and a half. I've doing my mail for the next day the day before. Kim, our boss, showed me how to do bulk bills. They usually take a couple of days to complete. I got the one I just finished today on Friday. They're actually pretty easy. The bulk bills are for the car insurance side of the claim. I also do eobs which are for the medical side of the claim. So, I've have A LOT that I have to do, but I love it. I really do! Like tomorrow for example. Kim is going to show my how to make sure the bulk bill balances out, I have to get caught up on my eobs ( if I had to guess, about 20-25), mail the eobs, do my mail for tomorrow and get ahead start on doing my mail for Friday. I have about 80 pieces of mail that I have to file away for tomorrow. Do, as you can see, I have LOTS to do!

Can you believe next week will be Thanksgiving?! It seems like the year just started! And, Christmas will not only mark my fav holiday, but my 28th birthday as well. So much to do, so little time between now and Christmas. And, it's going to be here before we know it! It's ashame, too because it comes and goes go quickly that you really can't sit back and enjoy this time of the year like you use to. I remember when I was a kid...the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas seemed like a lifetime. I'm sure you know what use to feel like. It makes you sit back and be thankful for the time that you do have, because it's so precious and comes and goes so quickly.

Not much else has been going on the home front. After next week, I plan on moving my adopted cuties over to my new site. I've more coming, too, so I'm excited about that. I have the new pages setup, I just have to upload everything, which will take forever since I can only upload one grahic at a time. I'm thinking of writting to Comcast about that now that I think about it. It's so time consuming to only be able to upload one image at a time. Not to mention a little inconvient.

Oh! I think I found new grahics for my site, yet again! Not that I am unhappy with the graphics that I am using now, I just can't leave things alone! I don't think that I will change things until the begining of the year, though. That way I have some more time to enjoy the beatiful graphics I'm using now!

And, can I just say how extatic I am that the COWBOYS were able to come behind and win the came in the last 3 minutes of the came with 2 TDs!

We are in for some REALLY cold weather tomorrow and Friday. It was so mild for the last couple of days here, but have a cold front moving in as I type that will bring the temps down from 70 to the upper 40s.

Stephen and I are going back up the store tomorrow to make sure I have potatos for my German Potato Salad on Thursday. Yummy for the tummy!!

Well, I have to get going so I can keep an eye on Snowball while Stephen cleans up the cage. Take care and hope you enjoy the rest of your week!

Well, I FINALLY got my other account from Comcast setup!! (well...hubby set it up for me) I'll be moving my collected adoptions over to my new site once I get the graphics I like picked out. Although, I think I have a pretty good idea of what I am going to use. The only thing is what kind of layout do I want to use. Not to mention that I really would like to separate them into their proper catagories instead of having numbered pages. I already have all of my adoptions in a separate folder ready for me to get started. I just put in another adoption request today! So, it's a good thing that I had Stephen setup the new account for me. I just check my adoptions folder and it takes up just over 15 megs of space on my regular site now. I have have a little over 26 megs to work with from the start. Now I have a project for the rest of the day!! LOL!!

Not much else going on today. It's a jamies day for me today. I don't have to go anywhere, so why bother getting dressed, really! I can be so lazy sometimes!

Well, I guess that I will make this short today. I want to get started on getting my adoptions organized. Incase you were wondering, I'll be leaving what I have up on my site now until I get the new one upand running.

Remember, Jesus Loves YOU!

I'm not doing so good with keeping up with my blog these days. I just haven't felt like sitting on the computer, or I'll forget to jump on here. LOL!

Things at work were a bit busy yesterday. We moved all of our large file (open & closed) to the same place. Our large open files are on one side of a shelf and our large closed are on the other side of the same shelf. It makes it easier I think. And, on the wall where our large files were, we now have the files that had to come back from the warehouse. We got all that done in the morning and had the rest of the day to work on making sure our files are inorder and are where they are suppose to be. I'll have to finish on Monday since I wasn't able to get to my closed files like I was hoping to. But, what can you do.

I got my hair done this morning. My roots were starting to show, so it was time for a touch up. Other than that, not much else is going on. Stephen and his mom are going out to the movies tonight and I have plans to go out with a friend of mine that I use to work with.

Well, I have to get going so I can finish my hair and get that done and out of the way. Have a great rest of the weekend! :o)

Remember, Jesus Loves YOU!
