Good-bye 2014 !!!.....

It's already New Years Eve...No plans for me tonight...eating something I have prepared and sleeping afterward..It's going to be very icy cold and freezing rain...I'm staying home tonight and I will probably just fix my favorite Southwest Dip with some packaged tortilla chips....I like restaurant style chips in the package...I make this every New Years Eve at home.

this is how I prepare my Southwest Dip:

1 can of fat free refried beans with a small amount of dry Taco seasoning mixed in.
2 or 3 mashed avocados
12 oz sour cream
2 chopped tomatos
1 chopped onion
1 can of sliced black olives
a package of cheddar cheese shreds

Layer in a 9 by 13 pan in order listed....To be eaten with tortilla chips.

For the New Year I know it is always very important for me to purchase a new calendar for the new year so I can start all over and say Good-bye to this past year...I always purchase a new wall calendar and hang it on my bedroom wall and I write all kinds of important things on it like doctor appointments, medicines/inhaler puffs taken at what time on what day, pet medicines/vaccines, Birthdays of loved ones, holidays with family and other important reminders..i write it with an ink pen and on the date block provided for that day I write what's going to need to be done on that day or will occur....

Calendars are a great way to keep yourself in check with your days and remind you what the date/day is and keep you informed all year..

I bought a wall calendar yesterday for $4...

I like to purchase inexpensive wall calendars every year with cute or beautiful pictures on them...I like the calendars with puppies/dogs and cats/kittens and other animals they are sweet! Landscapes are a favorite as well.

I also purchased a new word search book that was Garfield's word search..I remember that cartoon cat when I was a small child.... he also had a dog friend named Odie..I think they are cute!..i liked to watch the cartoon when I was a child as well..I think they would be cute on cat food or dog food products labels!!!....

anyway..i wish for wonderful things this new year that is going to be here tomorrow morning early!....I hope a million zillion good and beautiful things occur this new year and the world becomes a much safer, happier, peaceful place!

Best wishes for the New Year!

love, Julie

stealing is very wrong....

I've been painting a lot on canvas lately...I've painted 2 pictures so far..I bought 2 more canvases yesterday so I will have plenty of canvas to work on when the weather gets icy cold and bad the next few days....I need to purchase some more word search books too.

I was thinking about how so many people have been stealing from me outside at night for many many years...It really upsets me and makes me mad how they have stolen all kinds of things from me outside my home at night....and all the home break-ins that have been going on for many years nearby...It's very wrong and terrifying when people choose to steal from others and invade their homes while they are gone or sleeping!

people need to think about things before they choose to do awful nasty things...Stealing is something that is very cruel and awful...People work a lot to have things and when others destroy or steal their property it's the wrong thing to do....I'm sure that if they work a lot they could have things of their own so they wouldn't have to steal from others.

I've seen people steal all kinds of things in stores before in the past few years and that's not good at all...If I've wanted something and didn't have that something I wanted, I just have saved my money for it so I could purchase it on my own or I have just went without it..I don't think anything is worth stealing and facing jail time for...People just need to think about things before they attempt them....

Cause and effect...You do something bad that makes you happy at the moment you steal it or go through with it.....BUT later that bad thing that you know was wrong when you went ahead and did that awfulness WILL be back in the form of punishment and all kinds of bad bad troubles for you and your life.....

If you attempt to make good decisions in your life then good things will happen for you......That's what I always try to do in my life is think first about what I want to be doing in my life and I say to myself:"This is the right thing to be doing!..If I do the right good things with my life then God is happy and my life and the world is a much better place because I have chosen something nice, kind, and wonderful"...NEVER anything bad.

stealing and all these things that are awful...never be involved in those terrible things I say!...

Wonderful, smart choices make your life happier and the world a much happier and safer place...that is beautiful to be making right choices that are good for you and the world.

i like avocados.....

One of the scents from Bath and Body works that I got for Christmas for myself was a scent called Velvet Sugar...it's my favorite right now...I just purchased a small travel size spray of that scent because they were on sale...I spray a little on my wrist and go on....haha...I like going in that store at sale time....or on the 2 for 1 days with coupons.....lol.

going to try and purchase some avocados today....I hope they aren't too expensive they were $1.89/for 1 avocado at a local grocery store!.....I have seen them for 29cents/a piece which is a price I could better afford, that way I could get more of them!....I like to eat them on salads I make, or in southwest dip I can make to be eaten with tortilla chips...I like avocados.

keeping healthy at all times.....

One thing I think everyone should always do is stay healthy...There are so many things you need to keep healthy about your body...Mentally and physically a person should always keep everything in check....

Exercising, eating right, living a clean and sober life, and taking care of your mental health are all things people need to keep working on and improving everyday to be healthy.

I've never had mental health issues or drug addiction, never ever took a drug in my life....but I have had addictions to music and probably chocolate sometimes!...

Mental health is something that you should make sure is ok with yourself...your mind has to be healed first to keep yourself safe and your friends and family safe....

Your mind controls how you feel and how you live your life...Everyone wants to have a great life and be safe for their friends and loved ones..I know that when I have loved ones I always want them to be safe so I always wish for them to be healthy!

Drug addiction is something that must always be treated with mental health and rehab treatment...great doctors at these facilities are something that helps everyone with addiction or mental issues....

going to rehab and getting treated properly is a wonderful thing for everyone to do...I am proud of everyone who goes to rehab and get the help they need...People who want to do the right thing deserve to have a great happy life!

reading your Bible everyday is another thing I think is good for your health..that way, you keep God with you at all times everyday you open your bible or read a scripture he is with you and will keep you safe and sound....I truly believe that...because I read a scripture from the Bible everyday...I always think about God that way.

a person will feel better once you expel all of that dark sadness from your life like upsetting thoughts, and bad feelings...along with getting rid of all the nasty awful drug addiction...Once you set yourself free from these bad energies like that, you feel better!

lots of bad awful things have happened to so many people I'm sure, and the only way to get through those bad feelings is with mental health and rehab treatment along with religion....

I have never had even half the awful evil things happen to me that have happened to some people..so I don't know exactly what people have went through to tear them down and make them feel less than..But they should know that when you fall down you need to always get right back up, be strong and keep on keepin' on..

Never give up on your life, things will get better!..continually keep with a good rehab/mental health treatment and you will be much wiser, stronger, feel better and be a wonderful person for your friends and loved ones!

this new year I think everyone should make those 2 areas of life #1 on their health list to continually work on...I am so very proud of everyone who wants to work on changing their life for the better...it's the right thing to do!!!

love, Julie

new dog house......

I got money for Christmas as a gift, it was enough to purchase my dog Goofball a new dog house.

He had a very old dog house that was about 20 years old and it was broken on one side and with the weather getting cold, icy, and snowy I know that he needed a new one to stay warm....He is a rather tall dog and his house was actually too small for him....

I found a coupon in a feedstore flier that was in the mail for $50/off a dog house and it was a good sale on the dog house!...so I found one that is nice and has room for him to get way back into the house and curl up in a ball and be warm!

I wish he could stay in my room all the time, but he is too tall and I want him to stay warm and have shelter outside...he's very active and he likes to run all the time and jump, so I can only imagine the things he would tear up in my house!

but I'm glad I put that money to good use in purchasing Goofball a new house...it's something needed and very much so!

I checked on him a few minutes ago and he is curled up in a ball way back into the house....haha!..sleeping sound...I think he likes it.

it's snowing a little right now this morning and maybe sleeting....so I purchased that house just in time to keep him warm! Winter is here.

pets that have to stay outside always need shelter from all weather every season....and they always need fresh food and water everyday.

pets are a responsibility and you must take good care of them everyday all the time..

save baby seals, end poaching....don't wear fur....

Christmas was nice...had a very small gathering at my Grandparent's house...

I was cleaning in my clothing dresser and I found a bookmark with a blue string on it that had 2 baby seals printed on it...I had purchased the book mark when I was a small child from somewhere and it was for endangered animals to help raise awareness and support for them...I've always loved animals and wanted to save them from evil people and danger...

Something that I have always adored and thought were very sweet, gentle, harmless animals are baby seals and it just breaks my heart and makes me very angry and very sad that these sweet defenseless animals and many other animals are hunted for their skins and tossed away!

I think people who kill all animals for their skins should be punished and they should be tossed away...It is very upsetting to me and is something I wish to end!!!...It just makes me cry and I think about how evil it is and how our Lord made all these beautiful creatures and I know that he sits up there in heaven and cries at these kind of barbaric things human beings do here on earth....

if I could, I would get rid of all the hunting, poaching, the selling of animal's skins/fur, bones, tusks!.......

you just think about baby seals and how evil that is and how much it makes me cry to think about all animals being killed for their skins and various other things....People who do those awful evil things need to be punished and disposed of....I would punish all of them if I could on my own!

I always think about ways to end animal cruelty and the killing of animals for their skins and something else I do not like is animals being killed for their fur...I would NEVER wear anything with animal fur on it...how awful and evil to kill an animal just for it's skin or fur to make a coat or whatever....

people who wear fur are very cruel, evil, and cold hearted...I don't like people who wear fur....

baby seals and all animals need to be saved, and I knew that as a small child..i have the bookmark with a blue string on it from my childhood to prove it!....

the candy cane at Christmas....

One thing I really like at Christmas is decorating the Christmas Tree.

My Grandma almost always decorates her Christmas Tree with red and white striped candy canes.

I learned when I was younger at church that the candy cane's stripes represent Jesus Christ.

the Red stripes represent--Christ blood shed for us so we can have eternal life and forgiveness of sins.

the White stripes represent----Purity and cleansing of our sins through Jesus Christ.

I think that's very sweet and neato!

so whenever I see candy canes at the store or anywhere, I remember that story and think about celebrating Jesus Christ's Birthday on Christmas Day.

printed t-shirt....

Purchased a printed t-shirt...it had cowboy sayings printed on it in bold colors, was on sale for $8, and a rotating glittery water candle with a cowboy on a horse for $7....It looks like the cowboy is in the snow with the glitter swirling around him...very pretty.

I like all things cowboy or farm related....Haha look at my life!

Didn't get to go to any rodeos this summer like I wanted to, but I'm hopeful for upcoming rodeos maybe later this summer.....things have been too hectic for all that extra go to rodeo time...

not going to church this morning, still not feeling 1000%....haha.....I'm sure God doesn't mind me not going when I have been very sick....

I know how to take care of myself when I am sick and notice health signs to watch for and when to take medicines....

in all things in life, you have to always watch out for yourself because a lot of times you are alone and you have to be alert and ready to take care of yourself everyday...I try not to depend on someone for help or answers to questions all the time, because ya know, I can figure answers out to things and train myself to know what is good and what isn't a good thing....

and most times there just isn't anyone there to ask or offer me advice or support....so anyways, I can figure things out just fine on my own and be alert for my safety because I have to!

being alert at all times in all situations is a very good thing to keep in mind because once again you are not always with people who are there to watch out for your well being, so I always keep myself safe from danger by looking out at all times for danger to keep myself safe....we all should do that.

depending on yourself for a lot of things all the time, is the right thing to want to achieve in your life...

being independent is a great thing.

but then again, also remember that you need to be able to work together with others in all areas of life and get along to keep yourselves safe!

family, friends, and  co-workers all need to work together to stay safe and busy at all times...

it's always ok to give advice or offer an opinion, but never be vulgar or bossy to people....

I always say:"If you don't have anything nice to say to anyone, just keep your mouth shut!" haha!

I like this instrumental Christmas song....beautiful.

new art supplies......

To my brother and his wife------

Thanks for the Art supplies!!!

Love, Julie

being charitable....

Feeling a little better just not all better yet!....haha..If you see me frowning, I am just sick with this sinus/bronchitis....I will get better.

I was just thinking that since Christmas is in a few days I think about all the nice things people can do this time of year to show people they care...So that way everyone will know that people are nice and do care about others, it's what our Lord wants us to do I believe...this time of year is special to him I know so I always try to do the right thing and be charitable to others in all types of ways that I can....

it makes me feel great to be kind to others and I think it will be that way to anyone else who wants to be charitable to others....when you are nice and donate food, clothing, candies, money if you can to others who are less fortunate or need extra help....

There are many places where you can be charitable this time of year....

Many homeless shelters need help preparing Christmas meals, they need non-perishable food donations, clothing donations or money donations if you can...those are all ways to help out there...

Animal shelters always need help and you can help with food donations, donate your time at shelters, money donations help, you can help with pet adoptions and get out here and let people know there are always animals who need to be adopted at the pet shelters, help with fundraisers also for them!!!....

Cats need to be adopted too...Cats always have a tough time finding good homes and that makes me sad!..I like cats!..I have 3 and they are a blessing to my life!....I always think about that all the time...

Cancer Centers always need good cheer! I think pretty flowers with card greetings, and also money donations if you are able to, are always wonderful ways to be charitable to these medical facilities that continually need help and do the right thing to save lives....

taking flowers and card greetings for this holiday to all Hospitals to place in people's hospital rooms are also very kind ways to be charitable to people who are there for medical reasons...that's sweet!

taking part in coat drives or food drives at your place of work is also very charitable as well....

love, julie

sick with sinus infection and bronchitis....

not feeling well....

I have been very sick for a while with sinus infection and bronchitis...coughing and couldn't breathe good at all...I had chills, fever, and very sleepy.

sleep is good for sickness to heal your body....

went to the medical office and got medicine....

It is caused from all of the wind blowing dust and particles in the air and no rain....I have allergies and asthma that gets irritated by those things causing me to get sicker.

right now, many people are sick with this sinus infection and bronchitis.

I'm very tired but hopefully getting better.

I have been eating apples and oranges to help with my immune system to fight the bacterial infection, there are some medicines you can't take with all citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits...but they are just fine with these medicines I am taking for this.....

I like red apples the best....they are good.

thank god it finally did rain yesterday....that always helps to have rain there to clean the air, and I can breathe better and everyone can with clean air free of pollutants like--dirt, smog, smoke, and pollens.....

clean air is a very good thing to always have to stay healthy.

I like rain.

medical kit......

Something I think is very important to have with you when you travel or drive in your vehicle is a medical kit....and also have these items at your home incase you need them...

I know that I am very accident prone so I know I will always need to have bandages for wounds on myself...I always am not paying enough attention to what I am doing or I am so busy I will forget I need to take my allergy medicine....

I have a small medical kit in my car with bandages and antiseptic....I would like an epi pen for severe allergic reactions to things but I don't have one...

you need to have all of your health medications with you at all times when you travel and work...so that way, you have them nearby if you get sick or ill....it's very dangerous when you have a serious medical condition and need medicine...things like heart, lung, brain disorders, asthma, allergies, diabetes and other diseases are very serious and you need to always have your medications with you for those.... 

I buy self adhesive bandages in a box from the store they have all kinds and sizes..i like to buy a box with all different shapes and sizes in it that way they can cover all sizes of wounds, I keep them at home all the time and in a small medical kit...

also something to have to clean wounds would be antiseptics to get rid of germs/bacteria like-- Bottles of Rubbing Alcohol, Peroxide, tubes of Hydro-cortizone cream--for itching and Antibiotic creams--to heal wounds, Aloe vera gel---for burns, Tylenol---for minor pains, Hand sanitizers to clean your hands as I have already talked about before on here...Nexium for my stomach is something I always need with me!

latex gloves for sanitary cleaning of wounds and being clean about things you touch, gauze pads for preventing bacteria and accidentally hitting the wound on something, roll bandages to support strained muscles, eye wash/drops incase you get something in your eye or accidentally scratch it...

hypoallergenic adhesive tape is something you also need to hold gauze in place....and bottled water or sports drink at all times to prevent dehydration....

you can find these items at all stores, it doesn't matter if you get the inexpensive brand, they all work the same way.

local emergency phone numbers are always needed as well to carry in your medical kits incase of emergencies...

some shopping...

I went shopping with my nice, favorite aunt the other day, and she bought some things to work on a cake and reception with...I went to Bath and Body Works...I purchased a few travel size scents for Christmas gifts...they were on sale so I bought a few of them...I think they make great gifts to add to presents this time of year....I just picked out a few scents I liked and hopefully they like them also!

I liked browsing at the clothing in the mall and I really like all the southwestern designs they are bringing back to clothing! Way to go ! whoever is getting that back in clothing! I really like that!

we had dinner at a place called Ted's it is a nice Mexican food restaurant....they were very friendly and nice when they waited on me.

My aunt is collecting Fiesta Ware....I like all the colors of it and it is from the 1950's because my Grandma said that she had some then....She had all colors...I like all of them and I like the price too, very well priced....so I looked at the different colors...the drinking glasses were pretty too.

I looked at Christmas wrapping paper it's nice to see all the different colors and designs of the paper and I like the self adhesive paper ribbon bows as well....don't know what color I will be using this year when I have help wrap Christmas gift for my Grandma...

I wish I could spend Christmas with people who care about me not people who I do not want to be around or see, like that annoying sorry uncle of mine on the other side of the family and his sorry, snooty, worthless family.....that's my life though always crap....Christmas ruined once again.

oh well.

favorite perfume and cologne scents....

There are so many different scents of cologne and perfume out there on the shelves..lots of them!

My favorite scent for cologne for men is a scent called Cool Water by Davidoff....Smells so nice!

Then my favorite perfume is something that I have wore often is a perfume scent called Angel...It smells great to me!....It's in a star shaped bottle and it is blue-ish in color...Haha....my favorite shape, perfume scent, and color all in one!

I think they are both nice scents that smell wonderful on men and women.

Working on taking down the fence by the pasture because we are working on getting a new fence put in finally after so long!....hopefully soon...

I worked all evening yesterday taking wire attachments off of the metal posts that connect the barbed wire to them....It will look nice to get this all cleaned up out there and remove trees that are damaged from all the harsh weather elements that we have faced in the past couple of years...

I used a pair of pliers and twisted the wire attachments off of the posts and put them in a bucket incase they need to be re-used for the new fence.....then I will have to roll the barbed wire up on a roll after the posts are removed....

I purchased a few pieces of candy the other day for 50cents/a piece...I thought they were pretty cool...

I purchased Milky Way Caramel Snowmen and a few Santa shaped Twix....I like the shapes and those 2 candies for Christmas!

j.

pay taxes, insurance, safe driving.....

Had to get a round bale of hay yesterday and move it into the corral with the feed truck for the animals...It was very trying when you have to back the truck in reverse going uphill...I think it wasn't getting any traction with the tires and the ground!!! it was sort of sliding down the hill...but I got the round bale of hay into the corral...

I also had to purchase another box of dog treats and I finally found another box of those dog treats by "Blue Dog Bakery"....Goofball really likes those! I think they are very well made...They have ingredients in them that he really likes...he likes peanut butter...

whenever I let him have some of those dog treats he will sit down on the ground and crunch on them in his mouth......I like the sound of him crunching those treats....haha! it makes me laugh because it looks like he is smiling...

oh btw, I found a Christmas shirt it is green with a cat on the front of it drinking hot chocolate...Haha!!! It is cute!...I also found a snowman Christmas mug to drink hot chocolate in for $2 the other day, so I'm being all Christmasey..I like these whimsical type of Christmas items...

I know some things don't cost as much in the store when you look at just the price in the store then you get to the register to check out and pay and it costs more...I know things are just that way because we all have to pay taxes on all items...I don't mind paying the tax at all..I know that it helps our country, our state, our towns with improvements and repairs on things in all these areas...

taxes are something we all have to pay, and I think that we should all always pay our part to do the right thing, everyone in this country should...and tourists to our state or country should also pay taxes on items they purchase or things they do...Hey, everybody has to do that, so I just say I don't mind paying my part everybody has to!....haha!

Yesterday I had to check on my car/vehicle insurance and make sure I paid that..Everyone needs to keep their car insured because it is very important to keep that paid to make sure that when you drive on the highway you will be insured and won't be sued in court if you have a car accident...It's just something that is required to drive in town, city or on the roads/highways...That way of you have insurance on vehicles you are driving you won't cause problems for yourself and others...it's the right thing for everyone to do!

I remember getting my driving license when I was younger I took a written exam on paper and I passed that to get a learner's permit, then I had to drive with a family member who already had their driving license...so then I went back and I took the driving test in a car at the place I went to and I passed that after a few tries..it is stressful kind of to take the driving test but it is needed to work, travel, and be safe driving..You should always pay attention on the roads when driving so you won't hurt yourself and others....

you always are issued a driving license card and you have to keep it renewed every so many years but time goes by fast and you must keep checking on it in your wallet every so many months to make sure it hasn't expired!...Haha I know I have gotten very close to letting mine expire before, like a week before the expire date, and I looked at it and I thought:"Oh my goodness ! I better get that renewed!" so you always gotta watch it....

you should always be careful driving on the roads, in the towns/cities and on the highways everyone should be careful and pay attention out there!

love, julie

screaming neighbor, christmas cards and greetings.....

Very foggy morning....It will take me a while to get out there to feed my calf Stormy her feed....with all the fog in the air you can't see at all!...

I'm hoping that I won't hear my neighbor up the road screaming this morning like she was yesterday when I went to feed the calf  at my barn...She was screaming and yelling at a man or someone I don't know who it was...She's always screamed crazy like that and it's very annoying and sometimes alarming!....good grief !

She's been very difficult to get along with the last couple of years....I haven't ever talked to her much at all, but whenever she is screaming the whole time it's kept me away...a good thing I stayed away from her I'm sure!...I'm pretty sure she has been prowling at my house at night and stolen things before and that's disappointing...

I have heard her talking outside my house at night early morning hours....I've heard a lot of people talking outside my house at night, most from my hometown who didn't like me, the dogs barked all the time!.....annoying and stupid!

but oh well,

I think you should always be kind to your neighbors and if you don't like them or they are hateful to you, just stay away from them and keep to yourself....there doesn't need to be any awful confrontation with neighbors just be peaceful and stay away from them when they are mean or scare you.

If they are nice and kind I like to be nice right back to them and let them know I care about them as a neighbor, say hello and stop by and take them something they have purchased in the store or have crafted for the holidays(nothing too expensive), candy or cookies or something and say "Merry Christmas" to them...it's always a good thing to be nice to kind neighbors who are peaceful and friendly.

so many neighbors these days fight all the time, steal from one another, and harass one another all the time...it's so stupid and an awful thing to do...it's not peaceful it's making problems and it is wrong!

just be nice and kind.

I like to also give Christmas cards that are friendly and cute with a Christmas blessing or wish in them to nice neighbors, friends, and my family members who love and care about me...I think it's the nice thing to do this time of year...something I think we should all do once again it has sort of faded out into the past and I think we should all do that once again like before..

You can choose any box of Christmas cards, any color, or any theme with a message or without a message just choose what you like, and give to those people to send good wishes for Christmas and the upcoming year...I like to always sign my name after the message....

love, julie

years ago in America....

I like my country....It's home and I am an American....I want the best for my country and I want it to prosper and become a much safer country.I want to support more American businesses and have more jobs here and companies....

If you support American businesses and buy those products that help our economy it helps America to prosper....as I know everyone who loves their country wants their country to grow! and change is ok when it's a good change that helps the people and the country flourish.

I like to buy things made here in America I always have, because that's who I am an American girl!

I just like older things that have a rustic look to them and even something as silly as older labels on old American brands of products it makes me smile to see how nice they look.

I even love the older fashions of clothes from the 1940's 1950's I think people really knew how to dress back then! They were very classy and beautiful!...men and women both...it was nicer and cleaner looking...Something as simple as prints and patterns on clothes from back then, I like to look at those and they were very nice and unique! I saw a old picture of my Grandma, a great auntie, and my great Grandma together walking down a street from back then and they were so beautiful in those clothes and very classy looking! we should all miss that...we need that again! but you can't find those anymore...makes me sad!

you'd see a picture from back then and see women and men dressed in those clothes and you think immediately:" Those people look nice, they look very sharp, in charge, and they know what the heck they are doing!"....haha!

 It was all apart of America's charm and something as simple as fashion in clothing, and labeling on products, building companies founded on trust, faith, and hope for our country adds to that unique quality of our country.We are known as very good workers in industries and there just aren't enough jobs for our country right now, so hopefully in the future there will be more jobs for our amazing workforce here in America!

I know every country goes through very tough times but you always have to work at being better and working on things to improve your country like this help every day.

 I know a lot of people want that lifestyle back...it was just classier I think...I know that's what people really miss!

comfortable dining....

Casual means "not too fancy"....haha!...That's how I like dinners to be with friends...Whenever I meet with friends I like to take them to dinner somewhere nice and comfortable.Ever been in a restaurant full of loud talking and overcrowded tables?...I have, it's annoying!

I want to be able to actually hear what people are saying to me across the table you know?!...haha

One thing that I like to do is talk, laugh a lot,  and enjoy a nice dinner in town with friends and family....

I try to pick a type of food cuisine that everyone can enjoy and everyone likes so that way everyone is happy at dinner and not sitting there picking at their food thinking:"What is this?!"....haha!.....I kind of like to know what is sitting on my dinner plate and I'd hope that guests at the dinner table would also know what the heck they were about to have for dinner as well!....

It doesn't really matter to me what type of food may be at a dinner...I'm not picky!...just as long as I know what it is on the plate and I'm not scared of what it may be...because I'm sure that there are lots of different types of food out there that I am not aware of and may not like....

I like to talk and laugh at dinners and be able to set down in a chair and talk comfortably, not worry about not being able to hear people because a room is too overcrowded or noisy....it's funny trying to talk to people across a table and not hear a word they are saying!...lol.

smile, laugh, and nod....pretend you can hear...because you actually can't!..how funny is that?...because sadly I have had to be that way in restaurants because they were too loud!

it can be nice but also not too fancy, there are plenty of restaurants out there that are very nice to dine at, but also not a zillion dollars a plate and so fancy I don't know what the heck is going on in them....I like the nice but not too fancy they are comfortable...

You can never ever have too much Taco Bell....can't overrule that one any day!....Haha! 

j.

black cats are a blessing!.....

Listening to Christmas music...I like the older Christmas music like this one:

I like all kinds of music actually...I also like Instrumental music it helps with stress in your life....your mind just kind of stops worrying and being upset when you can listen to peaceful music like this one I like at Christmas..so pretty! I like the piano for this one...

 

 



I think about helping out with homeless shelters this time of year and I think about helping out at animal shelters this time of year also...

Donating food or money to homeless shelters and donating time there to help out as well are wonderful things to always think about this time of year! It always makes me feel happy when I put together food boxes for homeless shelters or donate food or clothing to shelters or pet supplies to animal shelters....all ways to help out this time of the year so they can all have a Christmas...

Something I read in a newspaper is that they have a lot of animals that are black in color at the animal shelters, cats and dogs that people won't adopt because they think they are bad omens because of their color of their fur being black...

It makes me very sad and upset that people think that animals are bad omens because of their fur being black and I am here to let everyone know that is NOT true!!!

Black cats being bad omens is just some stupid crap that idiots have made up....just a bunch of idiots sitting around making up crap millions of years ago as usual....it's not true at all!

I have a black cat named Pumpkin and he saved my life when I was very sick I found him and he made me laugh all the time and he cares about me as well....he kept me safe from people outside my house one night as well, when he woke me up and warned me of dangerous people outside of my house....He meowed and told me that something was going on outside and I woke up and he saved my life....

My dog Goofball is black in color as well and he makes me laugh all the time also...they are both a blessing to my life because they have saved my life...

Cats and Dogs are both very loyal pets, no matter what color, to have in your life and be sure that you know you have to take care of them, feed them, care for them always and protect them....take care of their health and buy them food, water them and keep them safe from roads, and dangerous people....

they love you when you love and care for them..they will always be there for you no matter what as long as you love them and take care of them....I know they can be expensive but that's why I don't waste money on things like too many clothes, makeup, or unnecessary items for myself...so I can take care of them.

Cat litter can be expensive I know, even the cheapest brand is good! hey, it works! also it's always a good thing to keep their litter boxes cleaned daily and wash food bowls...

I type this right now as Pumpkin cat sits right here infront of my computer!!!....Haha I suppose he wants to help me type this morning....

I just want all people to know that Black cats and dogs are not bad omens at all!!! they are just pets and no matter their color they are wonderful and a blessing!!!

so get out there and adopt/save more black cats and dogs also...

I love cats and dogs...cats make wonderful pets to keep in the house because they are easily trained to go bathroom in the litter box and they make me giggle all the time!

love you Dad!

song i like....

Listening to the radio yesterday on the way to town and I found this song..I like it....one of my favorite bands.

healthy cereal, fruit snacks, seasonal coffee mugs.....

About to have breakfast...I like to eat healthy cereals for breakfast.

Cereals like plain Cheerios, Chex, Raisin Bran, Shredded Wheat not frosted, Grape Nuts....Kelloggs's Corn Flakes not frosted...Rice Krispies--plain.

I like to microwave the Grape Nuts cereal with a small amount of butter and milk in the winter time you can also add a small amount of sugar if you like...

also I eat oatmeal I like flavored oatmeals but plain is just fine with me, I like plain toasted Bagels with cream cheese also.

going to try to purchase some fruit snacks in boxes...I like the fruit snacks in all colors and themes....I do not like the fruit snacks filled with juicy syrup in them when you bite them...I do not like those Gusher brand type snacks...

had hot chocolate last nite in my Santa Claus mug....I like to collect character mugs...with character faces on them....cute ones, whimsical ones!...I like the seasonal mugs/holiday mugs to drink hot chocolate in and sometimes decaf coffee...

going to try and find a new one for this month of Christmas....I'm drinking one cup of hot chocolate every night of this month of December in my Christmas mugs....Haha!...that's what I like to do...

snobby hillbillies and bullying....

One thing I'm thinking about this morning is how many people try to change people into something they are not...nobody is like everyone else..Everyone is an individual and everyone is unique...when people try to tell you to look a certain way or wear a certain thing or say you're weird or ugly...that's just awful to make fun of people for the way they look or what they wear.

Nobody is perfect and a lot of people may think they are perfect and they want to go around insulting people and saying you're not skinny enough or you're not wearing the right clothes...that's wrong! Maybe they are the ones with the problem?!....Haha..I know they are the ones with the problem....I've seen so many snobby people belittle people and make fun of them because they weren't pretty enough they thought, they weren't skinny enough, didn't dress right, or because they didn't have any money...and that's so ignorant and stupid....

people shouldn't go through life making it their life long goal to make fun, harass, or bully people into being somebody they are not...so what if you don't have the best of everything or zillions of dollars or you shop here or there or you wear what you want, or you don't look like they think you should...who cares?...it's your life to live for yourself not someone else's life to pick and choose how you dress, or how you shop, make fun of you or try to run things, or ruin in your life...

you don't dress good enough, you don't have enough money or you don't do what they want you to do...who cares...things will just never ever be good enough for some people, no matter what you do in life some things will never be good enough for those tacky snobby people....I've put up with those types of people in my life and it's annoying and stupid.

I just laugh at all these hillbillies who think they are better than everybody anyway...and just because you have money doesn't mean you're better than everybody like they all think....I have family members like that...they have money or think they do and they make fun of people who don't worship material things and money like they do...material things don't matter who cares...

so annoying and boring all people who are like those rednecks in my family who have money and go around making fun of people all the time and getting people on drugs and ruining their lives and you know what the saddest part of all is?....the people whose lives they have ruined by getting them on drugs, these redneck family members of mine who have made money off of their misery by ruining their lives by selling them drugs and getting them on drugs, they make fun of every one of the people they get on drugs and talk bad about them, belittle them and laugh because they have ruined their lives....that's what angers me to no end....

it's all bullying, making fun and trying to make money off of people's misery and that's what all the redneck "I'm holier than thou" crap is with them...it's all bullying, you're not skinny enough, you're not wealthy enough, you don't dress right, you don't do everything I do and I want you to do, so there's something wrong with you!, they all say...and they work on their minds to make them depressed and get them on drugs....

it's all about making money off of people's misery and laughing at people behind their backs with these rednecks in my family...they may have money, but I laugh because they're screwed up, they have the problem!.....what goes around comes around....god will get them.

people have told me for years about the things they have done to them, how much they hate them, and how they have ruined their lives and they do ruin lives and they ruin EVERYTHING for EVERYONE....

it's funny because nobody likes any of these wealthy redneck family members and I'm ashamed and embarrassed to have to unfortunately have them in my family they are all idiots!!!

I don't ever tell people that I am related to them!...embarrassing!

a few chain stores i like....

Just thinking about how far i have to drive to get to some of the different restaurant chains and shopping stores...it's very annoying.....at least we now have a Target!....haha.....Some store chains I wish that were closer to the area in which I live that I really want and would like to have available to go to are restaurant/store chains like these:
