Well, I love all three. The first question the hubby asked was this:

 Will it last? My answer: It will last long enough to go out of style

total less than $25.. AWESOME!

     I was working out at the gym, and watching those little TV's that are on the machines, and CNN or headline news unsure of which it was was showing a story about a soldier returning from duty and surprising his little girl. I saw that little girl grab a hold of his neck and hold on for deal life. I also saw a woman hanging on to her husband for dear life as he was being deployed. Now, it made me think.

     Here I am in a country where another person cares enough about MY freedom and MY way of life to risk it all over seas, and here to ensure I wake up safe in the morning. Even you reading this have some armed forces, police, public workers who fight for what they believe is right. And, it got me thinking about my attitude lately. I have been upset and depressed this Christmas season because I miss my mother. It's hit me hard this year. She died all most 21 years ago. It's been festering this year and I've let it get to me. However, after seeing this story while working out at the gym I have realized that if they can make all these sacrifices for me, the VERY LEAST I can do is take care of myself and tell them thank you. They risk it all some of them lose their lives and I cannot manage to see to my basic needs because I am too busy. BAH, enough. I am not going to sell myself short, or not take care of me because it's easier to just do it tomorrow (I'm talking about taking time to thank God, to pamper myself, to understand, to think, to reason, to blog, to do all those things we put off little and big.)

I think that is all ways in fashion isn't it? If you need a reason to take care of you do it because right now at this moment someone is suffering so you can sit in that chair and read this. That there is a little girl who will not see her father, grandpa, brother, uncle, mother, aunt, sister, grandma ect because they are in the field fighting for your right to read this. Your very right to survive! I'm talking about more than American freedom, I am talking about every country in the world. There is someone out there right now who is suffering for you.

Just a thought and a weight on my mind.

Ok, I work nights, so my day isn't over till Now! And, I am going to go drop into a state of un conseince that no one will (hopefully) be able to wake me from for about 7 hours.

My night esh typical Thursday issues, issues , issues. That's ok this too shall past and I am ALIVE HAZZAH!I would like to get in the Christmas Spirit but, i'm having a hard time with it this year. I'm not sure why.. Maybe I shall figure it out in the wash, ni ni all !

Have a good friday all !!!

Ok, It's been the pits today. I'm not feeling the best so I hid all day, barked ect. But I promised myself, no one else that I was going to write no matter what kind of day I had so I did and I am so BLEH!

Gabriel comes on the scene finding a ancient relic, but he has no idea what he has in his hands until a little photographer shows on the scene, followed by a few uninvited guests get's the plot rolling with twists and turns and all kinds of seductive energies. A paranormal tale, with the hunter becoming the hunted right from the start. Only, was it a set up by the master ... humm ....

This is the very first in the Arcane Society series. Awesome characters, classic love story. I have all ways liked how Amanda Quick (Jane Ann Krentz) writes.

She writes historical romance under Amanda Quick and Modern Tales under Jane Ann Krentz and Jane Caystle.

Ok, let's see got up went to work for a meeting, finished went to gym

AND, proceeded to torture myself for well over an hour running, lifting weights. But, it's not all bad because I treated myself to 30 minutes in the sauna with a really good book then a nice hot shower.

Then, this evening was date night with the hubby. Splurge city, spent some in Aeropostale and then, Five guys. A few turns though Victoria Secrets, a few minutes in Sephora and well. Alas this day is ended not a bad day if I say so myself. Only one complaint

IT IS COLD BURRRR !!!

How was your day?

Let's see got up made breakfast went to the gym and killed myself :-/! I worked out and, worked out and well relaxed in the Sauna so see it wasn't all bad . I came home and promptly tried to get on the pc only to find the dear hubby had beat me too it and was looking up motorcycles. :-<. Yea, well there is a story there lol. So, we got on Amazon and I found a Kindle ~le sigh~ DREAMY! He told me to put in my basket so... I did

And, then the kids came home. Not that I didn't miss them but they are ALL teenage girls and well, they ALL seem to have drama latley. I just wish le sigh they would realize that other people have problems too, namely their sisters. Eh, this too shall pass.

Cataclysm is coming out at midnight WOOOT WOOT !! Loving me some world of warcraft. However, since I have a meeting at work in the morning and my daughter has basketball practice I shall not be attending my friend Russ's party for celebration of said event. ~le sigh again~. It's cool, I'll get it all worked out in the wash so to speak !

Have a wonderful evening my fellow lovelies and xangains

1. Victoria Secrets Gift Card (amazing fit need I say more)
2. Kindle (love my books)
3. Apple I-pod Shuffle (for the gym it just clips on and you go)

I won't get any of this but it's nice to wish

I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

Well, Sunday is over by an hour however it strikes me that things need to be written down.

I have never been very good at keeping a Diary and my past posts have been erratic to say the least. I have all ways been well, afraid to put my thoughts out there. For several reasons.

One, I didn't want to offend anyone. It comes to me know that these are my opinions and I am very entitled to them. So, if you please respect mine, "I shall yours when I visit your page.

Second, I didn't want to get flamed. You know that flaming is, when someone has too much time and not enough common decency and just decides to go off on you for what you believe. I am not as naive enough to think that this will never happen but, I'm going to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and just, be me.

Being me was something until a few years ago I never knew. Well, I didn't think I knew. I have learned over the last few years that I am me, and I've got every HUMAN right to be so.

I feel I am a decent human being who is smart enough to know that not everyone is like me. Which, I think is pretty cool. Because, if everyone was like me this world would be a major mess !

I really cannot believe that this year is over all ready! It has gone way too fast. !

oops forgot spell check

I would change it if I could

Would you?

I would have chosen that!

Would you?

If you had chosen that, you would not be here

If you had choosen that you would be there

Do you want to be here?

Didn't you want to face your fear?

Since you faced your fear

You are here

Since you went though that

Your alive having been though that

Your stronger and wiser

Don't you want that?

YES! I cry! I want this just without that

You can't have this without that

You have to take this and that!

To have this!

I close my eyes and ponder what could have been

What was and what steps were taken

I open my eyes not wanting to let go of what I have

Realizing that without all that, I wouldn't be me

I would be someone else.
