Hump Day Happenings

Had a very busy and trying day today. Sometimes clients get so emotional and when that happens it tends to make me get that way too. I know I have stated this in the past, but it is hard for me to not show emotion. It was actually a very good thing for my client today letting go since they had tried very hard to keep it bottled inside. The client saw my tear and started apologizing and I had to tell them that there is no reason that they should have to do so and that it is me that should be doing that. The person really felt a lot closer and really opened up to me the rest of the session. Very draining but very rewarding! Such as my life and I wouldn't change a thing about my career choice.

I'm chatting with some friends right now as I write this as well as commenting on blogs. I guess I'm in the mood for chit chat tonight. So if you are on right now IM me, the more the merrier I say! LOL
Nothing much on TV tonight, which is to say there aren't any reality shows that are on right now. Tomorrow is Survivor and the finale is Sunday night. Then what am I gonna do?!!! I guess the Bachelor and Idol aren't too far in the offing. I need another Big Brother to make it all worth while . . . and Lost will be starting up in January as well. Hooray!

I think that is about all for now. Hope you will have very happy Thursdays and only two more weeks to Christmas and three to New Year! Luv ya! TTFN

You Are Dancer

Carefree and fun, you always find reasons to do a happy dance. Why You're Naughty: That dark stint you had as Santa's private dancer. Why You're Nice: You're friendly. Very friendly.

Which of Santa's Reindeer Are You?

Monday

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a nice Monday. Mine was ok but I have this awful headache which stems from my recurring neck problems from the car accident I had earlier this year. I don't think I'll ever get over it and it is something I will just have to cope with. I try not to complain about but some days it just gets pretty bad like it is right now.

Nothing much exciting happened at work today. Rene told me about some rude customer in the store yesterday who got mad because they were out of a certain Christmas fixture. I guess she raised holy hell and made a scene about it. They ended up giving her ten percent off something else but she was still a bit bitchy about it. Merry Christmas to her right?
The finale of the Amazing Race was last night and I was delighted to see Nick and Starr win the $1,000.000! I didn't care much for her at first but the more time went on I found myself rooting for her. She is a beautiful and I'm betting sweet girl. Survivor ends this next Sunday. I can't believe that is over already. I hope either Sugar or Bob end up winning.
I really don't have much more to say tonight so I will end this by wishing you a happy Tuesday. Oh btw, Lisa is now the proud owner of the Brownie points I was offering in the last entry. She was the first to tell me what TTFN meant. As Tigger says Ta Ta For Now. Luv ya!

Your Christmas Stocking Will Be Filled With Little Wrapped Presents

You've made Santa a very happy fellow this year. Don't worry - what happens at the North Pole stays at the North Pole!

What Will Be In Your Christmas Stocking?

TGIF

Hi Everyone! It's been a long busy week but the weekend is finally here? Hope you all have exciting plans or at least a relaxing couple of days ahead.

I wanted to thank all of you that went by our other journal and were kind to Valerie. It took a lot for her to tell everyone what she has been through over the past year and she told me to thank you all. She says she feels free from the emotional pain that was placed upon her. If you haven't had a chance to read her entry please do. Val and Ally's Collaberation It has pretty much turned into Valerie's journal and that was mostly my plan from the start. Shhhh, don't tell her ok? Hehe
This is my Carrie Underwood photo of the day. Isn't she just gorgeous? Be sure to vote for her in the People's Choice awards. The link is on my sidebar at the top.
Me and Valerie will be going on out to the Rose Bowl tomorrow to watch USC, as Val would say "humiliate", UCLA. Sorry Michelle, but you know your Bruins aren't very good this year. Speaking of Michelle, she is doing ok after her separation. She is sad and her main focus is on her children and I just wanted to let her know that I love her very much and I plan on coming for a visit sometime soon hopefully.

Talked to Carrie on the phone today and she is doing well. She is really starting to love being in Washington, she never had too much of a chance to with all that she went through earlier this year. All she used to say was it was always rainy, dreary and cold. But now she is liking it, but of course she misses her little sis.

Anyway, hope you will all have wonderful weekends. Luv ya! TTFN
(BTW * * * The first person who can tell me what TTFN means gets 10 Brownie points!! LOL)

Oh no say it isn't so!!! Look at my blogthings survey today.

Your Christmas is Most Like: A Very Brady Christmas

For you, it's all about sharing times with family. Even if you all get a bit cheesy at times.

What Movie Is Your Christmas Most Like?

A Quick Hi and a Request : )

Hi Everyone. I've been pretty busy so far this week and I just haven't had much chance to dig into your blogs, but I will when I get a chance.

I wanted to direct you to the blog that Me and Valerie Co author. She has written an important entry about herself and she could use a little support if you could lend it to her. She is such a sweetie and I know you will think so too if you ever get to know her. Val and Ally's Collaberation I know she will appreciate you stopping by.

I don't have much to say tonight other that to wish you all wonderful and happy Thursdays wherever you may be and whatever you may do. For me it is work but I will make it a happy one, you can bet your bottom dollar that the sun will come oup tomorrow. OMG . . . I think I'm Annie! LOL Luv ya! TTFN

You Are the Furthest Thing From A Grinch

You love and live for the holidays. You even love the Grinch! You're in the holiday spirit year round... because you're all about celebrating and giving.

Are You a Grinch?

Turkey Day Weekend Winds Down

Hi Everyone! I hope that you have all had sensational weekends so far. This is the end and then it is back to our normal weekly duties tomorrow.

I just got back from dropping Carrie and Dan off at the airport for their trip home. I get so emotional, I sat there with tears running down my face, Carrie just smiled at me and wiped one of those tears off in such a sweet sisterly way. Where is she now that I am doing it again? LOL Luckily it will be a few more weeks and they will be back here for Christmas, I can't wait for that.

Looks like Rene's family will make it up here for Christmas as well and I know he is very happy about that. Valerie had a great time on Thanksgiving with us and boy can that chick eat. I don't think we had any turkey left after she got through, of course she had a lot of help too. LOL She was very happy that her Cowboys and Longhorns won. We will see today if her Texas team will get to play in the Big 12 championship game. USC beat Notre Dame last night, Yea!!! All they have to do is beat UCLA, those stinkers, sorry Michelle, next week and the Rose Bowl is there's again. I hope that happens cause I will get to go.

Today, it is rest and relaxation day. Valerie may come over later. We spent the majority of the day together yesterday going out shopping and then coming back here to watch some of the football games. You should see the way the guys oogle over her when she walks by. That girl sure has it goin' on!
If you haven't noticed, on my sidebar I have put a link to vote in the People's choice awards coming up in about a month, and of course I am campaigning for Carrie Underwood to win. She is nominated for two awards. If you feel so inclined, please go and vote and don't forget Carrie! : )

Anyway, that is about all for now. Hope you will all have a fantastic Sunday and here's wishing you a very happy week ahead. Luv ya! TTFN

You Are an Impulse Shopper

When you go shopping, you have no set strategy. You just browse until something catches your eye. You like sales, but you mostly like them because they're an excuse to shop. Of all the types, you are the most likely to be a shopaholic. You can't stop shopping! You're not the kind of person who makes a list or plans what to buy. So sometimes you end up with too much stuff.

What Kind of Shopper Are You?

Happy Thanksgiving

Hi Everyone! Hope you are off to a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. It should be a fantastic one around here. My sister and brother-in-law arrived late yesterday afternoon and I met them at the airport. For some reason I was extra emotional and I couldn't stop the tears from flowing with joy to see Carrie. I love my big sis soooo much.
I want to wish each and everyone of my dear friends, online and off, the most fantastic of Thanksgivings. If everyone looks into their lives I'm sure you could come up with a big list of things to be thankful for. Enjoy your meals, the football, and whatever else you have planned in this quite unique American holidays. Love ya! TTFN

You Are a Pilgrim

Like the pilgrims, you've felt persecuted for your beliefs from time to time. You have a strong sense of right and wrong. Your morality sometimes makes you feel out of step with the modern world. You may not go as far as moving across the world, but you still identify with the pilgrims. Well, except for the whole stealing land and killing Indians thing.

Are You a Pilgrim or an Indian?

Hump Day Tuesday Thoughts

Hi everyone! Here it is Hump Day Tuesday night. One more day to go and the four day Thanksgiving holiday is here. I have so much to be thankful for this year. Great friends, great career, great online friends, and not least my wonderful family. I cannot wait until tomorrow night when I go to the airport to pick up my Sister and Brother in Law. I am chomping at the bit to see Carrie. Can't you tell?

I did get some kinda not so good news from a family member today. My cousin Michelle. She broke up with her husband, well, kinda kicked him out of the house because of something he was doing, and it wasn't cheating. No one in their right mind would cheat on her because she is so sweet and beautiful. I don't want to go into details as to why, but could you all keep her and her two children in your thoughts and prayers. She told me she was thinking about coming back home to California. Only time will tell if that happens. I feel so bad for her and the kids, especially with the holidays coming, but there was no reason for her to put off what she had to do because of that. I support her decision 100 percent. I love you Michelle. xoxoxo

I just chatted with Valerie a couple of minutes ago. She seems a little down because this will be the first Thanksgiving she has ever spent without her family. I will do my best to make sure she is well taken care of and that she will feel plenty of love on Thursday. Rene is missing his parents as well. They moved back to Mexico a couple of years ago. He wants us to go their for Christmas. Maybe we can go for a couple of days, but I guess that is one thing that I am selfish about, spending time with my family that time of year. I'm trying to get him to get them to come here. Would be delightful if that happened.
I wanted to congratulate Carrie Underwood for winning an AMA on Sunday for the best Country Album. She is so darn talented and beautiful. Way to go Carrie. I guess you can see there are two Carries in my life. LOL
I saw on myspace my friend Brandi was touting that her gas was really really cheap in Houston. It is still over $2 a gallon here. I hate you Brandi . . .LOL . ..Jk of course. Gas prices sure have come down, I don't mean to be pessimistic, cause that is not in my nature, but aren't you like me, just waiting for the other shoe to drop and for those prices to just shoot up ridiculously again? Someone on CNBC the other morning had a good idea, he said with all the profits the oil companies are having maybe they should pitch in and help bail out the auto industry here in the U.S. I thought that made a lot of sense since both of those industries go hand in hand with one another.

Well, I think that is about all for tonight. Hope you have a great Wednesday and that your holidays are off to a fabulous start. Luv ya! TTFN
