WEIRD WEATHER IN VA.

Okay it's the normal Monday. It's rainy and overcast. The ride to work wasn't bad.
I had a busy "MONDAY" today. Which always makes the time go by faster. Until about
3 p.m. I'm listening to the radio and the weather and the traffic. See they are replacing
all the windows in our building so I now have a piece of plywood up. So I didn't really
pay attention to the weather.
So the emergency broadcast center is issusing a "tornado warning and watch". Okay. It's
not near here. I work in Portsmouth and come to find out the tornado touched down in
Suffolk, which isn't that far. And not to mention we have an office there. So they call and
say the lights are out. The tornado hit Obici Hospital. So I get the word we can leave a
few minutes early.
Oh, wait, I can't. I have a patient that I'm trying to help over the phone. They had just had
their first cycle of chemo and wasn't doing well. So I finished up..........and it was 5 p.m.
Come to find, a tornado had touched down in Portsmouth. WOW!!!!!!!!
So on my way home the daughter calls and tells me to hurry home. Okay,
I have tunnel traffic and there is a tornado warning out. YEAH RIGHT..
Traffic was fine on my way home. And thank God he was looking out for me.
As I turn into the road to the house, it starts to pour rain and the clouds were
black and the wind was howling. I run into the house, quickly find the daughter,
laying in her bed and then proceed to watch the evening news.

Come to find out this is the worst tornado weather anyone has seen in this area
for at least 25 years. They counted at least 5 tornado's had touched down.
I was born and raised in Ga. and tornado's were normal and in TX. too.
I was in a tornado when I was in elementary school. So I know first hand
how scary they are. Seeing the glass break right in front of your eyes, hail hitting
the roof, and the sound of a freight train in your ears.

I'm just glad I made it home. It's mostly raining now with gusty winds.
Well, at least hitting the sunlight window sounds like rain.....

This is some pretty wacky weather for the beach area. I can now say I've
seen it all here in Va. I mean last year in April, it snowed and now the last
part of April, tornado's.

Who knows what we'll see next..............................

Sunday relaxing........

Ok, I don't really sleep in on Sun. so I was up at 7:30a.m. today. I thought I'd go sit outside and enjoy my coffee and the cool breeze that was blowing. Well, that breeze got a little too cold. But I sat outside anyway.
Then I got a wild hair and started cleaning the bathroom. I scrubbed the baseboards and mopped the floor. I even cleaned the fan exhaust too. Then vaccumed upstairs. After cleaning out the darn vaccum cleaner....again. Everytime I go to use it, I have to dig the cat hair out of the darn thing.(I'm thinking of SHAVING the cat, ok just triming her coat down.)
Then my daughter and I did "YOGA". The first time I've done it. And let me tell you what, I feel GREAT. It really felt good. Stretching, breathing and relaxing. I feel as if a calmness has swept over me. I'm also a little sore, stretching will do that if your not use to it.
So I think in the mornings before work I'm gonna do yoga or maybe when I get home to help relax me.
I've started laying in the tanning bed too and I'm starting to get a pretty good tan and now I want to tone and firm up. Bathing suit weather is coming and I want to look good.
So now I'm gonna work on the abs. I weigh roughly about 105-107 lbs, but I want to flatten and tone my belly, not that I have a huge belly;and tone and tighten the thighs and buns.
So from now until the end of May I'm gonna really work on that.
So wish me luck.
Now it's time to get out the ab lounge and start on the rest of my body.
Plus walking, for 30 mins. a day adds 2 hours to your life. Right now I can use all the help I can get.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

PUPPY LOVE.........

Puppy love. No I don't mean as in a "puppy-animal". I mean young love, first love----puppy.
Do you remember your first love? Or your "puppy love".
Well, my daughter is going through that. Her and her boyfriend of 7 mths. just broke up last Fri.
He broke up with her and she really misses him. He's a good kid. And I like him. I've told her to give him some time and maybe he'll come around.
She's been crying her eyes out.
I can't really remember my first puppy love. I guess my mind has gone.
She's told me that she really misses him. I guess it's love.
Okay, daughter has just informed me her and her ex are gonna "talk". GREAT!!!!
Should I kill him when he comes into my house????? Let's see how this all pans out.

And then hubby is coming home tomorrow and leaving for Colorado. Great, he gets to enjoy the fresh mountain air while I'm here with the ocean air. I mean come on a Jersey boy in the mountains. That is where I belong, I'm a true southern Georgia girl. Raised in the country. Using an outhouse, drawing water from the well and cooking on a pot belly stove. Why couldn't it be me????
I get to see him before he takes off again. That's ok, while he's there working, I'll be here spending "his money". LOL!! I will find a way to spend it, all on myself.

IS THIS "NOT" TERRIBLE

This is something that was in my email. I felt sorry for the poor cat.

What do you think?

The cat is ugly anyway. It's a "hairless cat".

AAHHH!!! IT'S FRIDAY!!!

Well, I made it through another "tough" week at work. I so look forward to Fridays now. I was busy at work but with that brought some bad news.
This is why sometimes I don't like my job.
I get "too attached" to some of the patients. That's just me, outgoing and fun.
I recently lost a sweet, very sweet patient. He never complained and always had a smile on his face when he came in for his chemo. Now, I'll never see him. But I always did pat his back or give him a hug and told him I loved him. I'll miss him dearly.
Then a patient today, whom I've come to know and love too, is being put on "hospice". I said my "good-byes" today. I was doing good at work, no tears. And I thought I handled it pretty well. I thought to myself," GOOD JOB YOU DIDN'T BREAK DOWN".
Well low and behold, on my way home from work, I heard a song. Tim McGraw,"Live like your were dying", and I started thinking of those two patients and teared up the whole way home.
I think God brings people into your lives for a reason. And I'm still to this day trying to figure out why he put me where I am today, in this profession.
I work in a hematology and oncology office. So it is HARD to deal with somethings.
I use to work in a nursing home and the dying part seemed somewhat easy for me. I mean come on, I helped take care of the people. But for some reason this job is HARDER. I guess because they are able to talk to me and laugh with me and I get to know them more and more.
Why has God put here in this job????
On the other hand, I've learned that my mother had died of pancreatic cancer,(she's been gone for 3 years now). Is it because of her that I am where I am???
God has a plan for everyone. I think I'm stilling searching for mine or have I found it?
Hopefully the weekend will nice and pleasant.
Have a good Friday everyone.
Thanks for listening(reading).

p.s.
It was 83 degress today and I was inside ALL DAY! And tomorrow it's suppose to rain----again.

depressed

Sorry I haven't written in awhile. But here. in VA. Beach; the sun hasn't come out until TODAY!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, it was so great to leave work and feel the sun beating down on my skin. I loved it. It has rained here since last Sat. YUCK! YUCK!!!! And now they are calling for more rain.
I am so-so-so-so ready for SUMMER. I want to lay out at the beach or sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. But no, more rain.
Plus with no sunshine, I do believe that it makes a person "depressed". I have been coming home and putting on p.j.'s and going to bed way earlier than normal. I just feel as if I have NO mo-jo.
And then on top of that, they are removing our windows and putting in new ones, and they came and did mine today. I did talk the guys into waiting as late as possible to block mine. So they did.
I even laid on my desk and had the sun beat down on my face. (glad my boss didn't walk by). But the fresh air and the sunshine felt so good. It'll probably be about 2-3 weeks before I get my new window. Bummer!!!
At least I enjoyed it for the time.
But it's 7:40p.m. here and the sun is just starting to go down.
Tomorrow it's suppose to be 75 degrees. Now that is some serious sunbathing time but I have to work. And the weekend it's calling for more RAIN!!!!!
GREAT!!!!!!! Not another weekend of rain and coldness.
CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So without sunshine in my life, it makes me depressed. And the fact there's nothing on t.v. All my shows haven't started YET!!!!!!!!
So right now I feel like LIFE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

FOR MY HUBBY..........(bbw)

HAPPY 2 YEAR

ANNIVERSARY

BABY!!!!

XOXOXOX

FOR BBW..............

Basking in the warmth of your smile
And the music of your laugh I feel your tenderness
And your oh so witty style I don’t know why god blessed me
With such a friend as you
But it makes my pleasure complete
And very happy too
The way you always know me
And exactly what to do
When my loneliness gets me down
And I’m so very blue The way you see into my soul
And looked behind my eyes
And I don’t have to hide my feelings
And put on a disguise
With you I learned to trust
And as I person I have grown
Who could have possibly told me How could I have known
That you would come in to my life
And my beauty would start to bloom
And like a pretty butterfly Come out of my cocoon
To share your tender heart The warmness of your smile
The courage of your wisdom
For these I’d walk for miles To be thinking of a time
When you’d no longer be there
For me to gaze upon in delight
And all our feelings share Is not acceptable to me
Because in my life Is where I want you to be......
Always and forever

I'M OVER IT

I am so so so over the traffic. Everyday this week it has taken me an hour or more to get. USUALLY, it takes me 30-45 mins. to get home. What is up with all the crazy ass drivers???WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One my way to work one morning, I almost had 2 accidents; that would not have been my fault and then the stupid tunnel. When it sprinkles here or rains, no one can drive. This is truly INSANE!!!!! And then not being able to sleep. Come on, someone give me a break. I'm beginning to think the universe is messing with me. Did I do something to upset the universe. Not that I can recall.

All I have to say is," THANK GOODNES FOR FRIDAY!!!" If I can make it through tomorrow then I will be doing pretty good. Well, actually tomorrow I better be doing GREAT!!!!

It's my 2 year anniversary. Hubby will be coming home for the weekend. I can't wait to fall into his arms. I wanted to go out to celebrate our anniversary but if I don't get home until 6:30 or 7 p.m. , I maybe too tired. The traffic wears me OUT!!!! But I have all weekend with him, until he leaves on Sunday.

I do have to say it's been 2 wonderful years. He is a very amazing, caring, loving and supportive man. And let's not forget helpful. He helps me around the house alot. I do truly and deeply love him, with all my heart.

Gonna go grab a beer now and RELAX....try to anyway before tomorrow. Have a good one everyone.

Before and After Marriage.....

This was in my email. I got a kick out of it. Hope you do too.
