Who will get this trophy ?...

Finally, it's back! I have been waiting patiently for it's return and finally it's here!
I even started watching the "Bachelor" because during the finale is when they will announce the new cast...That is how much I love Dancing with the stars....I have never watched a "Bachelor show" in my life, never want to...but I did start a few weeks ago when I found out how they planned to annouce the cast.

This is the show I look forward to every year now, it's so much fun to watch! I always have my favorites to win and of course I have my non-favorites to loose.....

So I guess on Monday you know what I will be doing...LOL

So glad I am who I am.....

I really am glad that I am who I am....So many people these days are so "Guarded"....I mean when something happens to me in my life I am not afraid to tell people, good or bad. If I talk to you more than once a week either by face, phone, email, etc. Then you deserve the truth about my life...I hate people that want you to know only certain things about them...BUT if that were me they would wonder why I didn't tell them, and they would be hurt by my actions..! PLEASE!

I am so glad I am who I am, I am an open book and anyone who knows me knows that....I really have nothing to hide, if I do then you know it..LOL!

Be yourself, and trust those who know you !!

Once your gone...YOUR GONE!

Since leaving my previous job I noticed how people change toward you. I know it happens all the time but I guess I trusted to much to think it wouldn't happen to me.....WRONG!

I myself am still in touch with more than half of my co-workers from NJ. I also had one job there for over 10 years and I still talk to them by email, Face book and when ever I go back there. It was a smaller company but still I was well liked and I worked well with everyone. When each of my parents died I remember all them calling and half of them coming to the wake. It was just who we were, like family! My going away party included every single one of them, from the office to the people in the factory....every one of them came and between family and friends my party had over 200 people there...now that's what I call nice

I understand that my previous place of employment was big but in 14 years I met and established relationships with alot of people there. Now when I speak to alot of them they act like they never ever knew me? and a few of them know how to keep me at arms length like they can't say or tell me what's going on because I am not to be trusted anymore? Why? What are they trying to prove? I almost feel sorry for alot of them because they can't trust anyone, what a shame

All I can say is that people are strange and I am so glad that I am who I am. I will bend over backwards not to hurt someones feelings, my parents raised me right! But People around here go out of their way to cause bad feelings.......

BUT there are those exceptions and they know who they are...

I love that song .."What's the matter with kids today"!

Kids today are so different from when I was a kid...I call this generation of kids the "ME" Generation because all they do is think about themselves, they always look out for themselves and anyone or anything comes 2nd in their book.

For a long time I blamed myself for my daughters attitude, selfishness, etc. I thought I gave her to much growing...I wasn't that strict at all, so maybe I did this. BUT after talking to so many of my friends I have come to learn that I am not "Special" my kid is just like everyone Else's kids from this Generation.......So, I feel better about that. I also have to say that I can not be responsible forever how my daughter acts, she is 27 years old?

So bottom line, I love my daughter to death, I would do anything for her but she is defiantly not taking after me in life....But then again neither are alot of other kids these days either....so I just have to stop blaming myself and move on hoping that one day a bolt of lighting will shine down on these kids and change their attitudes for the better....

LOL....as my daughter says to me all the time..."I am just Venting"....LOL...

Goodbyes....

Goodbyes are always hard but it seems the older I get the more they hurt...My Baby brother comes every year to see me for 2 weeks around the same time and with each year the Goodbyes are harder and harder. We are close, and we enjoy alot of the same things so by the time he leaves I am so use to him being around and then it's time for him to go...

When I said my "Goodbyes" to family and friends 15 years ago to move here to Florida it was really hard. The out pouring of friends and family was amazing. My Best Friend Anne, threw me a going away party at her parents house, the house is BIG and I guess it had to be because there was over 200 people there to wish me well. I don't think I will ever see that again in my lifetime. I left a very special group of people. And to this day I may never see that again, not like that party. It is something I will never forget.........sometimes I ask myself, "Why did I leave"? But I needed to make this work and I think I did and to this day I can still say I am friends/Family with almost each and everyone still...and that is my Greatest accomplishment!
