End of the year...

It has been a while since I was on here but I thought that I had to just maybe end of the year on a positive. Not that I have one but I just wanted to make sure that I got on here to wrap up the year.

It has been a long year full of ups and downs. But  I know that tomorrow starts a new page and a new chapter in the book that we call life. Some books are shorter than others. Some are greater than others but all are worth the pages that they are written on. Make this chapter worth reading.

love ya!

Facebook aversion...

I have recently had a strange aversion to Facebook. I'm not saying that I never get on the book, I spend quite a bit of time on there but not keeping up with people, playing games. I hate the way that people spend all this time using it as a way to talk and communicate with their loved ones.

Grow up and pick up the phone and call people. It almost seems like a way for people to say that they want to be your friend without ever having to be around you and to me that seems so ingenuine. I also hate all the trash that people put on there and it varies from person to person.

I also don't really care to see how people use it to spread their agendas. I have taken to deleting people when they start to post things that I find offensive especially if they continue to put it on there. Once is okay but if you want to keep spewing your hatred on Facebook I will choose to remove you from my friends. I have also blocked people because they don't seem to understand that I've chosen to remove them from my friends  because of their views.

I hope that this will change in the coming weeks but I know that I will see people start to put all of that mess about New Year's resolutions on there. Promising to change the way that they are eating and acting only to fall out of many of those habits before the end of January.

love ya!

Better things to do...

There are so many things I should be doing right now instead of blogging and playing Pioneer Trail.

Oh yes I am trying desperately to catch up with the missions that I have in there and it kills me when I finish one only for it to be replaced by one more and it is even worse when you get two or three more. I just want to get them finished. Right now I am trying to plant a whole mess of crops since I can sit here and watch them grow, harvest, and then plant more. I've got the day off and then all day tomorrow. It is wonderful. Of course I still have a deco mesh wreath that I haven't even thought about that I should be handing over tomorrow as a present. There are clothes to be folded. More presents to be wrapped. I haven't even done anything with my hair that I washed this morning. There are mountains of dishes to be washed and well I just don't want to stick my hands in the sink. I wish that the dishwasher could unload the dishes more than anything.

I have paid the bills so that is a plus at this point. I have to decided if I have enough of the presents ready for tomorrow but I am probably wrong. I am also trying to empty the DVR while there is time to watch instead of indiscriminately deleting things. There are 20+ episodes of Doctor Who and some of them are episodes that I haven't seen before. I wish that the DVR would reorder the episodes by air date instead of just when they were recorded. A few weeks ago I was watching Star Trek and watched a whole episode that made no sense only to find out that for some reason it had recorded the first part at a later time than the second part. It was a little frustrating because I didn't know that I should watch the other one first. BBC America also has a tendency to show the first part of a to be continued episode and then a week later show the second half. There is one episode with David Tennant that it took me almost a month to see the second half of because of when they were airing the episodes.

The real problem that I have with Pioneer Trail on Facebook is that some times it will all of a sudden tell you that there is an error and need to reload and then it will reset what you were doing. There are times when this may work to your advantage but for the most part it does not work to mine. I have harvested crops, had the error pop up and then I can't get it to load. The next day I log on and see all the crops were not harvested and are now dead and brown. And hell if I can ever get my 'neighbors'  to come and help me unwither my crops.

I also am so excited to see the new episode of the Doctor tomorrow night. To meet yet another new doctor. I'm a little sadden that this is Matt Smith's final episode but I know that it means new adventures.

I have to get up now and do some work or I will be in trouble later.

love ya!

BIt of December...

The artic gates have opened and it is colder than sin around here. It was 28 degrees when I got in the car this morning to go to work and was standing at the time clock before six a.m., yes that is early for us. We work normal 8-5, 6 day a week retail. We have no fancy weekly sales or deals, we have one large sale the first Saturday in December during regular store hours and  that is it.

I am probably in need of going back to bed fairly soon but I have to finish watching last night's Grimm. I didn't get a chance to watch it because I was baking for my co-workers. There are a lot of things going on right now and I just need to relax with what is left of my glass of wine and the tv. Must empty out the DVR we are getting close to half full and there are just so few hours in the day.

love ya!
