Hi everyone, and a very pleasant Sunday morning to you wherever you may be. It's been a pretty nice weekend around here. Rene has been in a very chipper mood and even brought me home this very pretty fall flower arrangement on Friday. I do love to be spoiled with flowers every once in a while. I think just about every girl likes that.

Yesterday, Valerie came over and we did a little shopping at the local mall, picked up some cute undies and Vickie's Secret. She made me watch the Texas football game yesterday, in which they squeaked by Oklahoma St, and they will still be number one in the polls which has her stoked. Last night I made her watch the USC game in which my guys held on to beat Arizona. We looked to see Heather and her dad in the stands but they didn't show too much of the USC cheering section so we didn't get a glimpse at all.

Valerie spent the night and as I write this that lazy bones is still conked out on the sofa bed. What a lazy chick she is. LOL I hate to disturb her though, she looks so pleasant, comfortable and sweet sleeping there.

Well today, supposed to head off to my mom and dad's for the weekly Nascar BBQ. I swear, I love going, don't get me wrong, but if I don't go for some reason I am made to feel so guilty. " We never get to see you!" "It isn't too much to ask for you to show your face to your mom and dad once a week is it?" I know I shouldn't fall for the guilty but what can I say, I'm human too. I do love them so very much but once in a while I would just love to veg and stay in my jammies all day doing nothing and going nowhere.

Before I end this I wanted to thank Mary, Just Mary , she is so very kind as always has nice words of encouragement. I do wish she would continue with us all here in Bloggerville out of my own selfish reasons, and I do understand why she doesn't want to continue with her blogging full time. Just stop bye and tell her how much she has meant to those of you that know her and maybe keep the encouragement up so eventually she may change her mind.

Anyway, looks like lazy bones over there is starting to stir so I'd better get off of this think. Hope Y'all, Valerie Texas talk, LOL, have a very nice Sunday. Luv ya! TTFN

The Wind are Blowin!

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a good week so far. Mine has been pretty exceptional if I do say so. I have made tremendous progress with a couple clients and I feel stoked about it and I know they are feeling a whole lot better too. I guess I shouldn't take the credit since it was the clients who were the ones that were able to make break throughs with their therapy . . . but it makes me very very happy!

I had a nice weekend too. I guess I just love the fall such as it is here in California. We are once again in the midst of another Santa Ana wind event which could lead to more fires. The brush is so dry around here with not very much rain the past twelve months or so. I pray that fires don't get started but one of the fires last week was started by downed power lines from the winds. I wish they could put all those lines underground so the wind wouldn't effect them so much.

That is about all I have to report on for now. Hope Y'all have a great hump day tomorrow and be happy always with a smile on your faces. Luv ya! TTFN

You Should Be Allowed to Vote

You got 14/15 questions correct. Generally speaking, you're very well informed. If you vote this election, you'll know exactly who (and what) you'll be voting for. You're likely to have strong opinions, and you have the facts to back them up.

Friday Evening

Hi everyone! Well here it is Friday again. I'm glad it is the weekend. I sure hope the weather decides to act a little Fall like soon.

Don't have anything much planned other than getting together with Valerie to do some shopping and maybe a movie. Heather will be up in Washington watching the USC game with her dad. Val's a lot of fun to spend time with . . . very sweet and she is one smart cookie.

I wanted to say that I watched the debate the other night and I have come to the conclusion that I will be voting for Barrack Obama. He seemed so calm cool and collected whereas John McCain seemed to be uptight and willing to fling personal attacks. I am so tired of all of that negativity in politics. Too many things need to be addressed and to me with all the negativity going around Washington it is a wonder that anything ever gets done.

Well, I'd better get of so I can go watch the Ghost Whisperer. I really like that show and love Jennifer Love Hewitt. If you have never seen it I recommend you doing so.

Have a happy weekend everyone. Luv ya! TTFN

You Could Be a Vampire... If You Had To

Like most people, the thought of being a vampire has crossed your mind. But you're not sure if you'd do it, even if you could. Living forever doesn't sound half bad, if you could live forever with the people you love the most. But do vampires even love? And would the vampire version of you even be you? It's all too much to contemplate. Luckily, the chances of you ever becoming a vampire are astronomically low. What you would like best about being a vampire: Living forever What you would like least about being a vampire: Blood stained teeth

An Entry, I know You're Shocked

I guess I haven't been a very good girl so far, not posting any entries and all. I have been rather busy, but I know that really isn't an excuse. I will just have to get used to this new bloggerville stuff. I think we are all sorta in that boat together but I do know it will work in the long run. I do feel sorry for Donna who has been having a hell of a time trying to transfer her journal. Just don't stress over it too much.

Well, the Dodgers just bowed out of the playoffs by losing 5-1. The only run for the Dodgers was once again a home run by Manny. They better sign him for next year or I swear I'm going to punch them in the nose. LOL I'm not violent so it would be a shadow punch. : )

The weather has continued to be hot, I thought this was fall already, the winds have been blowing and the fires have started up. I feel sorry for the folks that have lost their homes and that really isn't very far from here.

Well, I'd best be goin' for now. I hope you all have happy Thursdays Luv ya! TTF

You Should Call Your Boobs

Thunder & Lightning

What Should You Nickname Your Boobs?

Hello Bloggerville!

Hi Everyone! Well, I took the plunge and here I am with my own Blog here in Bloggerville! Just wanted to let you know that I am here and I will be working to get myself on your list of followers soon. Have a happy Thursday. Luv ya! TTFN

Goodbye J-land

I guess this will be my last entry here.  I don't know if I will continue to do a blog or not.  I'm glad I made the decision to end Dear Ally a couple of days ago . . . at least that journal will go away on my terms.

 

It is sad, as Donna pointed out, that the powers at be knew nearly two months ago that this was going to happen and thought so lowly of us that they didn't want to let us know.  I just got an email about an hour ago from AOL informing me.  I found out from the many journals I visited tonight.

 

Looks like, as I commented on Donna's journal, that Halloween will be the end of J-land.  Certainly no treat for us but only a trick.  I believe that tonight was the unofficial end of J-land as we know it.  Many have flocked to blogger already and Jimmy did that long ago when the ads appeared.  He is a step ahead of all us newbies. 

 

If I don't choose to move I will try and visit you all.  I love the relationships and friends that I have made here and value them dearly.  I suspect there will be very little new entries here from anyone from here on out . . . after all who wants to invest into something that has been given the death penalty? 

 

I hope you will all have happy hump days tomorrow and I want to leave you with this . . . change is good sometimes.  Change is bound to happen many times in your life.  This won't be the first time you will be upset at someone not will it be the last.  Things may not go the way we want them too but as smart human beings we learn to adapt and build on perfection and make it better.  I suspect that the new J-land at Blogger or wherever else is bound to be better than here.  It may take time but I think in the end you will all wonder why you didn't do it sooner and that you are even more happy and will thank AOL for giving you that little push like a momma bird to their chick.  Luv ya!  TTFN

Autumn in the Air

     

The weather is pretty nice here.  Low to mid 80's for the beginning of Autumn.  I wish I could say Fall was in the air but Summer hangs on here a little longer.  The last three months of the year is my favorite time of the year.

 

Today is a sports fans Potpourri of excitement.  There is Ryder Cup golf, of course the Nascar race, many professional football games, I know Valerie will be rooting for her Cowboys tonight, and of course baseball.

   

I will be headed on over in a couple of hours to dad and mom's for the weekly BBQ /party.  That always makes for a relaxing day.  Oh yeah, the NHRA is on today, Go Ashley!  Then tonight if anyone is interested the Emmy Awards will be on.  Wheww!  I'm tired just reporting about all of this LOL.  I just got up and my cup of Joe is trying to wake me but hasn't yet.

 

I hope you will all have very Happy Sundays!  Luv ya!  TTFN
