It's a Wonderful Day in the Neighborhood

Groovy Theresa

.....

That seems to be the consensus.

Seems to me the only time I write a lot is when I am bothered or depressed about something. Maybe why I don't post like I used to. But ya know what? I am happy. I am very blessed to have a good job that I LOVE!! A kick ass place to live and good friends.

.....

I just seemed to be inspired today... I'm listening to Roger Clyne and The Peacemakers and they always put me in an awesome happy mood. I love the whole vibe!!! And their music brings memories and I look forward to making more and more.

.....

Anyways.....

I got the beginning of my "back" tattoo. I was so excited I have been planning this tattoo for a few years. This is just the first session.....it is an acoustic guitar with a ribbon around it that says

Life is Grand

Love is Real

Beauty is Everywhere

Now I have to get stars, musical notes, moth, butterfly, TNA logo, a rosary, and a Music Love Sign....

Then.... the next session is the coloring in of all of it!!!! So when it's done it is gonna look really good. If you like tattoo's and .... I do.

.....

So anyway....just checking in.....hope all is well.....

I'm Loving Life!

~~~~~~~~~~ I Am Excited ~~~~~~~~~~

Here at last, Here at last, The Weekend is Here at last!

.....

The weekend Yes at last Saturday is here! This week has blown by hasn't it? I'm sure it will be that way till and after Christmas. Christmas always seems to sneak up on me. Not this year though, I have been planning since the middle of the summer. Since all of my family is back home in TN/KY and all I have here in Arizona is my daughter, Christmas isn't too bad. I have picked up things here and there for my daughter as I have seen them go on sale throughout the year. Geeze, I sound so much like my Grandmother now...haha. But that is what I have done and Thank God I did, because I am a single Mom and it is hard to make Christmas even happen. I admit usually I have to do the whole Wal-Mart layaway thing. This year there is no more layaway so I had to plan throughout the year. So it tis done, except for a few things. Whew..

.....

I am excited because I am starting to pack to move into my new apartment!! Thanks to a very dear friend. As I said before I am a single Mom so I have only been able to afford an one bedroom for both my daughter and I since 2005. Now I have found a two bedroom that is actually 25.00 cheaper! It doesn't have all the luxuries that we have now, like a pool, dishwasher etc. Some of you may not think of those things as a luxury, but try doing without them and I bet you will appreciate them a lot more. We can live without those because it is a two bedroom and my daughter and I will have our own space! Now to me that is a lot to be excited about!!

.....

Being a single Mother I can not afford to hire someone to move me. Which brings me to "good friends". I have asked some of my friends if they would be willing to help me and a few of them said they would. Which is so wonderful since it is a big football weekend that I am moving. See, I am moving the weekend after Thanksgiving. Moving on that weekend is going to be a bit tricky with the whole holiday meal I am going to prepare Thursday night before the move. But I will do it. It is the first Thanksgiving I have had with my daughter in 3 years! One of my best friends "C" is flying in for the holidays also and she is staying with me. Kinda sucks I have to move while she is here, but she is one of my closest friends and she understands. She said she is willing to help and I feel bad that she is going to be here during the whole process, but, there is nothing I can do. And I will be moving just in time to keep out all of the Christmas decorations so my daughter and I can put them up and enjoy them throughout the season.

.....

Another of my dearest friends. One of whom I haven't known for very long but I trust with everything I have actually helped me with the deposit for my apartment. It is gonna take me a long time to pay them back, but I am a person of my word. It means so much to have such good friends especially at this time of the year. Thanksgiving means to give thanks. I have so much to be thankful for, friends, family, my job a roof over my head, food to eat and clothes to wear. I am not a high maintenance girl. I am very positive and very grateful for everything I have.

.....

So anyways... I am excited!!

Guess I better get in here and get packing!!

Woo Hoo!!!

~ My Monday ~

Well, it's been pretty much a typical Monday for me. Today just like every other Monday I got up, checked my email, checked my myspace page, sent out my resume to some companys, got ready for work and dashed out the door with about 5 minutes to spare. I always seem to be running late, no matter how early I get up. You don't think it has anything to do with getting on the internet before I get ready for work do you? Naaaaa, didn't think so, hahaha.

.......

So I get to work and it's just another day at school. One thing about being a teacher is I do love the children. They make me laugh as well as irritate me at times. But I have to remember that they are children and we (God Forbid) are some type of role models. So I try to be on my best behavior. We have fun and they love me, just as I love them. So it's all good.

.......

Got off work, checked my phone, and blow me down, I got an text message from this Rocker Boi I went out with about a month ago. What is it with guys and once you go out with them, it's like they disappear and the Rocker Boi's are even worse. The thing is I am old enough to KNOW this. I should after 2 Rocker Boi husbands, numerous Rocker Boi boyfriends. Seems I would have learned my lesson. But Noooooo, I must be glutton for punishment because that is the type of guy that I am attracted to. Not saying I don't go out with other guys. Other guys are quite refreshing, but there is just something to these Rocker Boi's that I just cant get away from, anyways...I get a text from this month ago date RB. Of course he wants something, or so I thought. But, I give him a call and he seems on the up and up. Actually he had called me because he was thinking of me and wanted to do me a favor. That was quite opposite of what I had orignally thought and I was a little bit ashamed of myself for not giving him the benefit of the doubt. He even wants to take me out again this Friday, if his bandmates don't make plans for him on friday night. Of course he wont know anything until next practice which is Thursday night. Whatever....if it happens it happens...if not....his loss. All in all, it was kinda cool to hear from him again. :)

.......

When I get home I check my email and I have gotten an email from one of my friends that I met through the internet back in 2003. Man, time flies doesn't it? Anyway...we both love tattoo's. Believe me people, it's an addiction, you can't have just one!!! She sent me a link to this really cool site called Check Out My Ink . I love tattoo's and have been looking for some good ideas and ya know what, I found some!! This site has 100's of pictures to browse through without having to pay or join the site. I knew what I wanted in my mind, but every time I tried to describe it to someone they just couldn't comprehend what I had envisioned. Thankfully Check Out My Ink did have one picture similar to the next tatto that I want to get. I want a full back tattoo so I'm sure it's probably going to be work in progress for a long time. But at least now I can show the artists a picuture to get an idea of what I really want. I mean tattoo's are forever!!

So THANKS!! Lisa for forwarding this site to me.

.......

All in all it wasn't a bad Monday, I got a text and maybe even a date for Friday night, and I got turned onto a really cool tattoo site!

Hope your Monday went as well or better!!!

A Day At The Movies

Beverly Hills Chihuahua

This was my weekend with my daughter and since she was feeling better I took her to see a movie she had anxiously waiting to go see, "Beverly Hills Chihuahua". She loved it, of course she would it was cute, charming and funny. It is a feel good movie for the whole family. If you have children and want to take them to a movie that you yourself want to enjoy also, then this is a movie for you. I enjoyed it so much more than the time I took my daughter to see the movie "Sponge Bob". In fact I fell asleep in that movie, it was the only way out, so to speak.

We had just gotten home and she had a lunch date with her father and her grandparents. So while she is gone and I have a little alone time I wanted to update my blog.

Also today I noticed that Lisa Marie Presley has had girl twins.

Okay, now it is time to pull out the Halloween decorations and get them all ready for when my daughter gets back so we can decorate for Halloween!!! I love it!!!

Though, I keep thinking about my missed trip to Mexico... And seeing the movie today didn't help...it was pretty much all about Mexico! Wish I was there, I may not be there in body...but I am there in spirit!!

Have a good weekend.

It's Almost Friday!
