Cold Front

Okay, we're supposed to get cold weather in a few hours. The coldest temperatures will probably drop down to the thirties. Not as cold as to bring snow, but the thought of cool weather has me wishing for glistening ivory snow, hot cocoa, and wearing fuzzy sweaters.

A Loss

I went back to work today, and at the moment I'm feeling extremely tired. The morning began with some sadness since Blue (our Betta fish) passed away today. I was going to feed him his morning meal when I noticed that he was at the bottom of the fish bowl. I wanted to burst into tears because we've had him as a member of our family for months now, and I've gotten used to watching him when I cook or talking to him when I was frustrated with something. (He was situated on the dinner table.) My heart is a tad heavy tonight with grief of losing such a good pet who brought so much light into our life.

Hilarious Christmas Song

"Oh Holy Night" is one of my favorite Christmas songs, especially when someone with a strong beautiful voice sings it.

For that moment, it seems as if everything in the world is right. As for this version, well, it's something that makes me laugh because Cartman's voice is hilarious, especially when his voice changes on the 'divine' portion of the song. LOL!

In the Mood for Christmas

I practiced a bit on my piano tonight, and I stumbled upon this piece of music, which I practiced over and over. Now the song plays in my head so I needed to listen to it on the pc.

Here's Wham singing "Last Christmas":

Visiting Mom and Going Out for Dinner

Okay I've vented. Now I'll be more positive. Today I awoke at 6 a.m. to get lesson plans and grades done. Then three hours later I fell asleep. I visited Mom at the home, and she was doing so well. Gosh, how I miss Mom! She was in happy spirits and that rubbed off on me. She made me burst out laughing when a youngish man walked by and she remarked on how good-looking he was. It was funny because so many people had been walking back and forth, but for some reason, that person caught her eye. She still has her spunk.

We played Chalupa, and then Leigh stopped by to visit with us for a bit. Later, we left , and Leigh took me out to a nice seafood restaurant. Yeah, he spoilt me. Now, I'm at home and I'll be logging off to go watch "That 70's Show". I love to watch that when I can. It's humorous.

Another Week Has Gone By....

I can't remember anything memorable about Monday, yet on Tuesday, I got a pile of more work to do (an online training that I needed to get done by Friday). Grrr...Wednesday and Thursday were days of endless meetings and tutorials since we're being FORCED to tutor. And Friday was a workday for our grade level since we needed to get lesson plans, copies,etc...done for the upcoming six weeks semester. I was very annoyed since I wasn't allowed to make copies for my group. The dementor (yeah, I read too much of Harry Potter but it's the perfect word to use for her since she sucks the happiness and life out of everyone she gets in contact with!) made me go back to the meeting room to be with my group who were doing soooooo much without me. However, when I arrived there (extremely nettled by this point), the main discussion was on the subject of tattoos. Hmmm....tattoos are subject matter of the curriculum?!? I'm missing out on prepping for the upcoming weeks for this nonsense?!? Plus, the dementor had someone complete what I was doing in the workroom. However, that turned out to be chaotic since the copies weren't collated and stapled, instead there were fifty copies of each individual page. Grrr.

It shouldn't bother me, but it did. I hate having someone second guess what we're doing. Had I been on the phone or been doing something I shouldn't have been then I understand that I would have been in the wrong. But I believe that D is just on a power trip.

Two Signs of Better Things To Come....I Guess....

Fitting Songs That I Heard This Morning On The Way To Work...Lol!
Rodney Atkins-If You're Going Through Hell:

Leona Lewis singing Better in Time:

The style of both artists is so distinct, however, the message is the same: Chin Up and Keep on Breathing---inhale and exhale as you go through your trials. This too shall pass. Now, I just need to believe it!
