TGIF - Yippee!!!

Afternoon folks!

I guess by now everyone is gearing up for a long weekend. National Labor Day Holiday is Monday. For those that work it means either a day off, holiday pay, or just simply a time to relax!

For me, it's just another day. Actually this weekend I will be dog sitting. I'm not a fan of animals, especially dogs. When I was young, probably in the 3rd grade, I was bitten pretty badly, scared me to death, and ever since I'm been afraid of dogs. No matter what size they are, if they open their mouth and growl even a little bit, my nerves start to tingle! It's not as bad as it was when I was younger. I've been around dogs enough since then to understand that not all growls are menacing. However, knowing that doesn't keep my heart rate from going into double time!

There are some dogs that I allow to touch me, but most I try not to handle. But Piper, that's who I'm dog sitting, is an English Boxer. She belongs to my grandsons, who don't take care of her as they should. Anyway, Piper and I will be keeping each other company this weekend. I hope she likes red wine! (kidding)

We'll just hunker down and watch movies on TV, maybe something with a dog in it so she'll feel like watching. Hopefully nothing that will cause her to bark. Don't know if my heart can take it! Normally she is a quiet dog. Of course my son-in-law likes to stir her up! She has her favorite toys and he plays with her. Someone has to, the poor thing, just wanders around the house trying to get someone to notice her. You would think that with three boys in the house, one of them could spend time with her instead of their electronic equipment!

Well anyway, Piper and I will enjoy a quiet weekend together. Hope everyone else has a wonderful weekend and safe and happy Labor Day!

Diary or Journal: My Thoughts

Good morning everyone! Okay, maybe not everyone since I'm the only one following me! Actually that probably is a good thing...  think about it... following me.... ahh don't think so! Hope the morning goes well, I was happy to know I could get out of bed this morning. At my age, I'm grateful for good health and good bones! Now if only my memory was as good as my bones! You see yesterday I had it all figured out what I wanted to post today. Thing is, when I get up in the mornings it's a brand new day! So of course I don't remember what all I wanted to say today. Anybody else feel that way??? Oh yeah, no one seems to be responding to me except myself! Well, that's just fine. So today I want to share my thoughts on the difference between a diary and a journal. Not that I know the difference but I'm going to put my two cents worth of thoughts into explaining what I think is the differences. Remember back when you are a little girl and daddy gave you a diary that ...

Thursday checking in

 It's Thursday almost Friday and I'm thanking my Heavenly Father that I did not fall getting up this morning! Still in the midst of trying to decide what to do with the rest of my life. Feeling overwhelmed every time I think about what's coming due and what am I to do about it. Looking into the real estate investment idea and my gosh there is so much to learn! Don't know if my brain has the capacity to soak it all in enough to actually make any money! I barely remember yesterday! I've definitely decided that the copywriting field is not for me. I find that living in my dream world is much easier for me. So, perhaps I'll dig out the old book, or even start a new one and try again to get something published. But it will be fiction for sure! Seems like Facebook is the place to post and repost stuff from the media that just stirs up controversy right and left! What makes me so mad about it, someone will post a picture, but they don't post ' the rest of the s...

Scamming

 Until recently I didn't know what 'being scammed' meant. Well, I do know now. And it seems that once someone finds you and begins a scam, others come out of the woodwork. So let's be clear, I'm NOT interested in being scammed, I'm NOT your friend, nor will I send you a friend request. If you are legit, then show proof! I'm more than happy to be friends with someone, that is legit, and not trying to take advantage of 'old' people, and someone who truly wants to be a friend. I don't need all that other crap! And if you pretend to be in the military, well better look out, I know people who are in the military. And they know people, and I know how to find out if you are legit. So don't play games with me, I'm not interested! Let's be clear: I DO NOT HAVE MONEY! I live paycheck to paycheck. I do not have an unlimited cash flow, so stay away if you are looking for money. I don't care if you just need $100, I don't have it to spare....
