If they are singing, it is not scary.......

Okay, so a few days off from blogging and I am back again, you haven't lost me yet.

First off, I'd like to send a shout out to my friend Jeffrey, who after reading the tragic news that I was out of candles at home, quickly lit two in his to put me at ease. Thank you, Jeffrey.

So I worked New Year's Day - BY MYSELF - and it was supposed to be a SLOW day since last year we only had 6-8 calls. Well, guess what, I had over 25 and I am sure some dropped, it was crazy. No more working by myself.

So, now my friend Mandy [Hi Mandy!] gets to be on my blog.....a few weeks ago, we talked her into going to see 'I am Legend' with her husband...she was worried it was going to be scary and we told her it really was not scary.....a few things jump out but it is predictable, so not scary. Well, it "scared the crap out of" her - her words. Whatever.

Last night, at No Frills we were all talking about movies that are out that we want to see and she wants to see Sweeney Todd with Johnny Depp.....and I am like I am Legend scared you and you want to go see a movie about grisly revenge by Benjamin Barker, a man unjustly imprisoned by a lecherous judge. It's subtitle is The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and it's rating - R for graphic bloody violence.

But, apparently, it is a musical.....so I guess if they are singing, it is not scary. Who knew ?

I hope you are sitting.....

..because not only have I blogged three entries in a row in less than five days....but also,

I am candleless.

I know.

I have no candles in my apartment. So, number one on my list of things to do when I am off on Friday, is to go to Garden Ridge, IKEA, Target, Pier 1, somewhere and get candles.

A moment of silence, please.

New Year's Resolutions

What is the end of a year without New Year's resolutions ?

So, I looked back to see if I blogged any last year and I did not. Here are mine for 2008 [in no particular order] :

1. Eat healthier
2. Increase movement [nice way of saying exercise]
3. Get a clear focus on school goals and timeframes
4. Spend more time with friends and family
5. Be a better blogger
6. Keep writing [semi-secret guilty pleasure]

I have two weeks of vacation this year and I am already in the planning stages on using it for number 4 on the list.

Let's see....this week. I am working a short shift on Monday, New Year's Eve. No plans for the evening. Working New Year's Day.....by myself. Supposedly this is a slow day and I will be able to get stuff done around the apartment. Yay !

I know this blog entry is lame, but I am trying to get back in the habit. Stay tuned in.

P.S. You may have noticed I also added a new banner header to the top of the page, I really like black and white nature pics.....hope you like it.
