Just Another Day

Hello again. It is Sunday June 10th.
I got up at 9:00 this morning and had my cup of coffee. While drinking it I read through my O magazine. Yes I do read a lot. I'm also reading the Fifty Shades books. I love to read.
I ate French Toast for breakfast with a glass of juice.
Then I watered all my plants which include about 22 African Violets. I grow them from the leaves. That's why I have so many. I just love to grow things.
OK I watched some TV today. I've gotten hooked on Eureka and I'm on episode 29 but there are 63. So I'd better get busy. Ha ha. I also watched a new show about our earth on the National Geographic channel. It was really good.
I BBQ'd some chicken for dinner with sweet corn and salad.  It was very good and enough left over for hubs for lunch tomorrow.
I didn't go out tonight well except in my own yard.

OK let's see how last years day went.

I got up at 8am. Cleaned my kitchen. Had my coffee and read a magazine in my backyard. I met with my girlfriend Carla for our regular Friday date. We go out to the movies, or to yard sales, or to new stores. Then somewhere new to eat each time. There were many years where we did not get to see each other, we only spoke on the phone or communicated in e-mails. But we have been friends for more than 30 yrs. I see i wrote that we ate at Joe's Crab Shack. I love that place.
We stopped at Cost Plus and bought some wine. Another of my loves, to always try different wines.
I got home at 2:30 pm and watched some of my soaps. They were still on.
I fixed dinner but it doesn't say what I made.
I got dressed and Fanny and I went across the street to the casino. We decided not to go downtown or to the strip even though I'm sure there must have been a friend playing somewhere. We went into the ETA Lounge to here my friend Rick sing. We stayed about an hour then went out to walk around and talk to other friends.  We left to go home about midnight.
Well it seems that is it for tonight.
I am a creature of habit it seems. But believe me I do many things some of which never make it to my journal.
Hope everyone is well and had a great week-end.
I hope the work week ahead is a good one.
Goodnight

Just Another Day

Hi, it's me again with a new day to share.
Up late again today. 9:15am. Had some coffee and read the new Us magazine. It was nice and quiet in the house. My hubs had gotten up early to go to our rental, since our renter moved out we have to assess the damages and make a list of what needs to be replaced and the cost of each item. Of which there are plenty.  I wish someone could fill me in on what goes on in renters heads that make them think its ok to wreck someone else's property.
I ate breakfast then cleaned up the kitchen. I showered, dried my hair put make-up on, got dressed and went to my girl friend Fanny's for pizza and wine. We drank just alittle to much but it was ok. We weren't driving anywhere tonight. So we walked around the casino, had another drink and talked to  our friends that we ran into there. We went to Johnny Rocket's for some fries because we didn't really have dinner. Yeah, we know it's not a good thing to do but it doesn't happen very often.  We walked home about 11:00 pm. 

Now let's check back to see what the day was like a year ago.

I was up at 9am. Drank a cup of coffee and read a magazine. How funny. I spent some time writing, which I do quite a lot of. I watched All My Children while eating my breakfast.  Talked on the phone with Fanny. Had to go to the post office to send out a box to my grandson's. Bought a child's lunch at Subway, I can't eat more than that. When I got home my allergies were full blown, have a headache. Took an allergy pill. Watched One Life To Live, damn I miss my soaps, Made the hubs dinner then picked up Fanny for Bunco.We really have fun playing Bunco. I got home by 8:30 and still had a headache. I only ate 2 bites of dinner and a small snack at Bunco, that may have had something to do with the headache. I showered and got ready for bed by 10:00pm.  I said at the end of my entry that i felt awful and was tired.

It is 12:06 here in Vegas.
I hope everyone has a great week-end.
Goodnight

Just Another Day

Just another day.
So i want to take a look back at the end of each day to the same day but one year ago. To see what a difference a year makes. Sounds exciting to me. I've looked at and read many blogs to see what people are writing about, just what they think would be interesting enough for others to want to read. Some are to political or religious. Some are just to far off the wall. Some give great information, about a multitude of scenario's. Some answer worldly or unworldly questions or perhaps other worldly. (ha ha) I didn't want to do anything like that. I want to teach something different with my thoughts and words. I want to show people how easy it is to be real. I have thoughts on many subjects but some days I'm just plain silly. Some days I have big problems, some days small ones. Some days I don't want to leave my home and some days I don't want to come home. I thought others out there must feel and think like I do. I mean I can't possibly be one person having one thought. Right?  I write every single night, yes in a journal of sorts. I keep it beside the bed and jot something from the day. Most times just a few lines. Short, sweet and to the point. As I write this blog my journal writing will jog my memories from that day and I will be able to elaborate each situation. Along with last years doings. I will add a few short lines about the happenings that day I am writing. So I will be sharing with all of you just another day a year ago today.
What I mostly want to see happen to those reading my blog is the realization that no one is alone in this world.

This morning I got up late, at 9am, because I was out with a friend to an opening night for another friends new band. We didn't get home from the club until 1am. And by the time I got my stuff done and ready for bed it was almost 2:00. Anyway, today I had to go to the Art Gallery where some of my paintings are hung. I bought a new painting to hang and had to pay on my advertising account. Once I finished there I headed to the bread store, fresh breads are awesome, and then headed to Wal-Mart for toiletries and dog food.  I got back home at 1:00 pm. Ate lunch and read though People magazine. I got on my puter to connect with some friends and watched my favorite Soap, General Hospital.  Then I took a quick walk across the street to my neighborhood casino, yes Vegas is fun.
I met with my husband and had dinner. I wandered around for an hour or so talking with all the people from my community that I run into there. I played some 2cent poker, but did not get the big win today. I text my hubs to tell him I was walking home. That was at 10pm. I got washed up and brushed put my pj's on and climbed into bed to watch Duets which I had waiting on my DVR.
Well that was my day today. It is now 12:44 here on the West Coast.

So let's go back to last year and see what that day led to.
I got up at 8am. Had coffee and got dressed and harried out the door to go to my Ceramics class which takes place in the community center of the Sun City I live in.  I brought my breakfast with me as I was running late. Which is usual for me since mornings are just not my thing. I was working on Frogs to put near my pond in my back yard.  Seems I ran into some craziness because there are some in the office that feel we need to be controlled. You know us old folk have to be watched all the time you never know what we might get into. Right. Let me assure you we are very capable of running our own lives. I went to Wal-Mart this day also. Seems we always run out of something.  I ate lunch and took care of my banking when I finally made it home. Whoa, I can't believe I'm reading that I took a nap, for an hour. That is unusual for me. Our Casino has a Senior Slot Tournament that everyone plays every week. So my friend and I went over to play. She lost by 1 number for getting in the money. Damn. We walked around the casino, which is our form of exercise. Met and talked with other friends. Then I played penny spin poker for awhile and walked around the casino again. We left a little after 9pm.  I watched TV, probably my soap and then Jay Leno which I enjoy and finally got into bed at 12:30am.

So that's it same day a year apart. Not to much difference, huh? 
I thank God every morning that I can get up and spend my day doing whatever pleases me.
I visit with friends, take care of my home and am happy at the end of the day.
I hope everyone that reads this blog can have the same thing. Happiness, it's all that really counts to live a great life.
Goodnight all.
