I had a wonderful afternoon with a bunch of my friends today. I love when my teacher friends don't have to work! We spent the afternoon chit chatting and gossiping at Starbucks, our favorite place to hang out. Four and a half hours we spent gabbing and laughing! It was just such fun! While we were there, we all observed a man who we concluded has OCD: obsessive-compulsive disorder. He spent the entire time moving his stuff around, going outside, smoking his pipe, going to his car and changing the gloves he was wearing, only to go back in the store and repeat it all over. He must have done it at least 6 or 7 times while we were there. It was kind of sad to see him like that. My one friend was saying that living with OCD is such a tiring way of life, and it sure seems like it. I can't imagine living that way. Well, I must get some jammies on and wash up and stuff before I settle down to see the results of American Idol. I can't even guess right now who is leaving. ...

The medicine that I take for my lungs is only delivered to me by FedEx. For almost a year now, the same FedEx guy has come to my house, a very personable man. I actually look forward to seeing him when he comes, just for a small chat and his smile. Today, I saw the truck outside my house, heard my doorbell ring, and so I went to get it. He had already gotten back inside his truck, but when he saw my open my door, he immediately got back out. He told me that this would be the last time he would come to my house, because they were putting him on a different route. But, he wanted to know that, despite not knowing what is going on with me, he prays for me all the time, and hopes I'm doing ok. He also asked if it would be ok to come by once in a while, and see if I was outside so he could say hello. I can't even say how touched I am, that a complete stranger (pretty much) is so caring to someone he doesn't even know. I asked him his name, and he said it was Vincent. He...

Ok, talk about almost having a heart attack tonight!! lol I was none too pleased that Anwar and Nadia were both in the bottom three tonight. When it ended up being between Anwar and Jessica leaving, I was holding my breath!! And yes, I do wear oxygen, but I still was holding my breath!! lol I was sooooooooo glad Anwar wasn't the one to leave!! Wake up, America!! Why wasn't someone like Scott in the bottow three??? Anwar is way better than him! Ok, that's enough of my Idol ranting for this week. Short, but to the point. lol :-D

Well, I just did it. I just signed up for a month's subscription to Yahoo's Personals. As much as I didn't want to, but I really wanted to get back to the couple guys who did send me a message. It's not as expensive as some sites I've been on. And, if I want to, I can cancel after 7 days. Of course, there's like a 20-step process in order to cancel. lol Oh well, guess I'll see what happens! So, I did write to the 2 guys who sent me a message. They were just brief, but hopefully they'll get back to me. :-/ Today was a nice day out! Tomorrow is supposed to be better. I love the fact that the weather is starting to get better, but I think it's still going to take it's jolly old time. I'm not quite ready to take the plastic off the windows, or change over to my spring/summer clothes. lol I'm the type of person who can be rather cold all the time! But, so far, I've been doing ok with the heat off. I just turn it up and nig...

I have had my profile up on Yahoo Personals for quite some time. I've gotten many interests, and have even met one guy last month after talking for a while. (While he was a nice guy, and he was cute, I just wasn't feeling it for some reason! :-/ )However, I do not have a paid membership. The only way I've been able to talk to someone is if they give me their email address, or screen name. I just haven't wanted to pay for even a month membership. But in the past couple days, I've gotten messages from 2 guys that I think are kind of nice. Well, at least their profiles seem nice. lol One of the guys said in his message that a friend of his knows me, and has nothing but nice things to say. I have NO clue as to who this person who knows me is!! The guy put a last name, but it's not ringing a bell. The other guy is from Texas, and he says he is moving up here in a couple months. So, I've been considering all day about whether or not to just sign up fo...

Eve just left a little bit ago. I almost thought she wasn't coming over, she didn't call until almost 10. Good thing she knows I stay up late! lol It was so good to see her, though. I really really miss her, and she misses not being able to see us all the time. I can't wait until she can move back here, but she said it still might not be for another year. It's so frustrating!! I just wish she was here, it would be so much better. One of these days..... :-( Guess I have nothing else to talk about tonight. I'm kinda tired, so I'll just be going to bed soon! Until tomorrow..... :-D Written by melonlady1724 . Link to this entry This entry has 1 comments: ( Add your own ) Awwww...:-( She'll be back before you know it. Then your time together will be just as special as if you had not seen her in ages. :-D Comment from anglswinks - 3/28/05 2:07 AM

Easter is almost....almost....better than Christmas, just for the chocolate factor. lol I got a lot of chocolate today! There goes my cholesterol levels. lol I'm not eating it all at once! Although, I would just LOVE to! It's amazing how chocolate can lighten the mood when needed. And boy, there are a lot of times that I need it!! *sigh* Anyway, my afternoon with my family was very nice. I am still stuffed from dinner, and dessert. It was all very good! Now I'm waiting for Eve to call me from Erin's. She supposedly went over there around 8. I almost feel like just getting my pjs on, but I don't know if Eve will want to do something. Just veggin' sounds fine with me! lol So, in the meantime, I shall read! Hopefully I won't fall asleep. lol :-D Written by melonlady1724 .

Happy Easter! Seems like a nice day out so far! The sun is shining, well, at least a little. The temperature doesn't look so bad from what I've seen on AOL. I'm looking forward to enjoying this day with my family. Hopefully my mom bought some chocolate. I should have made a basket for myself. LOL Enjoy the day! :-D

I decided to look through my writing folder before going to bed, to see what I had in there. I sometimes write something, and then forget all about it. lol I came across a poem....actually, a bunch of poems....that I wrote when I was going through the loss of my best friend several years ago. No, she didn't die. In some ways, I wish she had. It would have made things a lot easier than they were at that time. We had a falling out of sorts, but as the years go by, I realize that she sometimes wasn't much of a friend to begin with. That's hard to say, after being so close for over 20 years. I still miss her sometimes. And I remember the good times that we did have together. But then I think of the crap she put me through a lot of the times, and I think, maybe I am better off. So, here is one of the (cleaner) poems I wrote about that time. What happens when you lose your best friend? Is there another place to find one… Or do you just hope for the day when she realiz...

I was supposed to see my two best friends today. Eve is in town with her family, and she was going to come to see Erin's little baby, and then we were going to try doing something together. When I called Erin this afternoon to see if she had talked to Eve about our plans, she sounded horrible. Now she is sick!! She sounded as bad as I did a couple weeks ago. And she can't take much since she is breastfeeding. So, we didn't get together. :-( Eve called me tonight, and said that tomorrow night, she'll try to see Erin and the baby (since she's yet to see the baby), and then come to my house and kidnap me for a little while so we can visit. I hope I do get to see her! It's too bad that we can't all do something together, but I'm not stepping foot near Erin while she's sick. lol She told me she doesn't want me near her either. lol I feel the love. lol Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait and see if Eve actually does get a chance to c...

So, I'm on the phone earlier with my dad today. I'm watching out the window, and I see some people walk by my house. One is Pat, Tom's brother. I thought, hmmm, Pat is walking by, I'll go out there and say hi to him! I go outside, and lo and behold, Tom is also there with him. Did NOT expect to see him! Thank goodness there were about 6 other people out there. I just paid attention to the dogs they were all walking. Tom and Pat were with their cousins, just walking dogs. Which seems odd that they were in this neighborhood since only his one cousin lives down my street. I don't know. Anyhow, part of me wanted to run up and hug Tom, part of me wanted to smack him, but then I'd have to explain that to the others. I wasn't about to get into that! Part of me....just a tiny part of me....also wanted to ask him to come inside and talk, or "talk." HOWEVER!! I cannot honestly justify myself in doing that again. Ugh!! This is why I hate men...

I started out my day by cleaning the entire bathroom, and boy did it need it! lol I hate cleaning the bathroom, probaby b/c I grew up with that job. I guess I dread doing it sometimes b/c it can make me tired. Of course, I took it slow, jammed to music while I scrubbed away! After that, I decided to have a quick lunch, and then went to church with my mom. Then tonight, I went out to dinner with my parents. Apple Granny's was packed! So, we decided to go to a place called Perrone's. My mom asked if I remembered going there when my grandpa died, with my cousins. I really don't remember! But it was really good food, even if it did take some time getting it. So, not even 10 minutes after they dropped me off, my sister called me to ask if I'd like to come over and dye eggs. I did!! It was fun, I don't remember the last time I did that! That's about the extent to my day. It was a good one, at least! Tomorrow should be nice b/c I get to see my two best...

Here is a quiz I stole from Sue!! She got it from someone, who got it from someone else, and so on. LOL Enjoy! 1. If you had a theme song, that describes you, what would it be? Girls just wanna have fun!! 2. If you could live during any period in history when would you pick? Hmmm, I think I'd like to live in medieval times, all those dresses and such seem interesting. 3. Are there any mementos you hung onto from past relationships? Just pictures really. Now, if you're talking about former friendships, I have a sweater from my ex-best friend that I just love, even if it does remind me of her. :-/ 4. What did you have for dinner last night? I had leftovers...rice with beef gravy, and tomatoes, oh, and peas. 5. What's one food you thought was gross, tried, and now you like it? Actually, I used to DESPISE bananas and tomatoes, and now I eat them quite often! For some reason, I grew a taste for them over the past few years. Odd. 6. Is there one thing you've ...

I'm soooooooooooooooo glad Mikalah is gone!! I predicted it, she'd be the one to leave. My friend and I were talking about it last night, and we think Mikalah would be MUCH better as an actress on stage. But, who knows where the road will lead for her, she's only 17, she's still very young! My only big stink about the results: WHAT WAS NADIA DOING IN THE BOTTOM 3?? Ugh! I was not happy, but, at least she does get a chance to shine again next week!! Ok, that's it for Idols this week! lol Written by melonlady1724 .

Today it has been 11 years since my grandfather (my dad's father) passed away. To me, it still seems like it was yesterday sometimes. I still miss him, especially when I think that he currently has 2 great-granchildren, and another is on the way. It was so hard for me to deal with for the first 5 years at least after he died. Mainly because the night before he passed, I was supposed to go see him at the hospital, and for some reason I didn't get to. So I was so upset when I found out the next day that he was gone. It was so hard for me to get through, but when I look back years later, I realize that there was no way...and I mean NO WAY...that my grandpa would have gone into a nursing home!! He would have been so miserable! As it was, he had been ripping out his IV's at the hospital because he wanted to go home. So, it really was a better thing that he died in the hospital. Anyhow, some of my favorite memories of my grandpa are going over on Sundays for the same din...

I have a bone to pick with Mother Nature!!! What in the world is an inch of snow doing outside on my lawn?? And everywhere else?? Someone is not paying attention to the calendar, gosh darn it!! Snow should be illegal after March 20th!! lol Hrumph!! :-P Written by melonlady1724 . Link to this entry This entry has 1 comments: ( Add your own ) THISSSSSSSSSSSS is riDICulous!

Today I got to watch my little niece, Sydney!! She has gotten so big!! She is the daughter of one of my best friends. Sydney was born in January. She is just the cutest darn thing!! It's so amazing how babies can grow so fast if you haven't seen them in a while. I haven't seen her in almost 4 weeks, and I can tell how much bigger she has gotten since the last time I saw her. She just slept for a while at first after her mom left, so I ate lunch and watched tv. She listened to a U2 show with me! She likes U2, since her mommy and daddy are HUGE fans, and always listened to them before Sydney was born! When she woke up and started fussing, I picked her up and walked around with her. Mittens' eyes got huge when he saw I was holding a little squirmy thing that made noise. He eventually slinked to the bedroom to go hide. LOL When my friend got back, she hung around for a while, and I got to see how Sydney just LOVES her mom!! It was just too cute! I can't...

Okie dokie, here we go! Just a little analysis on the show tonight. First of all, my prediction of who's leaving tomorrow night?? I'd have to go with Mikalah Gordon. Gosh, she was horrible. Something about her voice just irks me. She reminds me too much of Fran Dresher. I could never tolerate her. Sorry for you Fran Dresher fans. lol Anyhow, that's who I think will be leaving! Besides not liking Mikalah's performance, the only other one I really disliked as well was Anthony Federov. I thought he sounded awful. I guess I was the only one, since the judges seemed to like him. Not one of my favorites though. Carrie Underwood is not my favorite to win, but she has one hell of a voice on her! I loved her performance tonight, mainly b/c I loved the song she sang. It was really good! The rockers did well tonight, I thought. Bo Bice sang my parents' wedding song, Time in a Bottle. Now granted, I like Bo singing faster-paced songs, but I thought he did well ...

I went to a food show today, with my mom and sister, and my uncle and his family. He came up from Horseheads last night, and we went this morning. He owns a business that redistributes things he buys, everything from water to wine, to juice and snacks. So, he goes to a lot of food show things, and when they are in our area, he invites us to go. He goes for the business aspect, we go for the free food! We can try all kinds of things, and it's so nice!! This food show was different from the ones we go to in June, because we tried lots of real food, like roast beef, lobster-stuffed ravioli, breads, fruits, soups, and the list goes on. The food show in June has snack stuff, like chips, brownies, cookies, pops and juices, microwaveable crap, etc. So it was a fun experience today, trying all kinds of things. It was also in the new NF convention center, and I hadn't seen it yet. It's pretty nice! However, I really don't see monster truck rallies in there ever. lol ...
