Lone Black Spider

Well as of today, summer is over! It is very dark outside, rainy and we are supposed to get snow this evening. I will miss summer, but I do like Winter very much.
Some areas around the world, and the US, still have summertime weather though. And I am sure they are still using their A/C in their cars. Now might just be the right time for them to get that Toyota AC Compressor fixed up and ready to go in case they have really hot weather. I think Hawaii is still warm, oh and Phoenix is pretty nice this time of the year too. Anyways! its always good to get a jump on things, so go visit DiscountACParts.com and get your auto ac parts ready for the heat cuz the heat will come back sooner than we image

Hard to believe that it is already Monday morning. This week is going to be a long one too; as in no time off. The next time our family has some days off will be Thanksgiving, and that is still a ways away. Before the year is over, I need to get eyes checked out. I do believe that I need glasses. I think my contacts are okay, but I always like to have a pair of eyeglasses as well. My eyes just get so tired at night, I have to wear glasses most all evenings now. It is hard getting old for sure, heeheehee.
This time though, I will probably order my glasses on line. My Doc will just give me a prescription and I can find very nice fames through Zenni. This summer I will also need to renew my prescription sunglasses. I need to have glasses for the pool too, otherwise I cannot tell which kid is my son! With Zenni, there is no middle man so I work directly with them. Come to think about it, my son will need Glasses in a couple months too. I will have to check out frames for him as well. Right now he has those lens that get dark in the sun and then lighten up to normal when in a room. He really likes those and so do I. Our eyes are very important to us and we take the best care possible with them.

Why is it that on my days off, at the end of the day I am more exhausted than when I am at work?! My kiddo and I worked very hard yesterday, so hard that we didnt get up ’till 930am this morning! Our normal wake up time is like 8am, which is pretty late considering our normal wake up time during the week is 5am! Anyways . . . the pictures dont do justice to our hard work. We still need to get rid of some stuff, but all in all, it was a very productive day. Today however, will be another working/doing chores, at home Saturday. First on our list is to clean ALL the animals cages; Gerbils, Fish and Turtle. total yuk.

Just a quick Halloween pic from my family to yours, before I am off to clean the garage! I love having Fridays off work, wee hee ! Hope ya’all have a great safe and Happy Halloween!

Well our company just publicly announced that there are going to be approx 7000 job layoffs. This is about 10% of our company worldwide. Am I worried . . . ? Hell yeah ! It is totally freakin’ everyone out over here. Deep down we knew it was coming, but such a large number was a little more than expected.
I try not to dwindle on it, but my mind keeps going to the “what ifs”. I gotta stop doing that! I can do nothing about it, it does me no good to worry over it, I have no control, so I better just go along w/my life and try not to stress.
I truely love my job and the people I work with. Yesterday I found out many of my friends will be gone come January. This is SO sad. I have been here 20 years and I would like another 20 at least.
eGads, there I go again!
Today is my Friday, so I need to enjoy my 3 day weekend, enjoy the last of the warm weather, enjoy my family and my life. Life Is Good. So Stop stressin’ woman!

OMG OMG OMG.
They just gave me a Flat Screen monitor here at work. It is thee coolest thing! We are so very behind in the time and all of us had those big bulky monitors . . . except me now! and one other guy. The rest of my team still has old decrepit ones, heeheehe.
This will take a bit of getting used to tho, the screen is huge and everyone can see me blog; I will need to really shrink the screen into a little corner . . .

I have been surfin’ around on different blogs, just hoppin’ from one to another and I have noticed there are tons, and I mean tons! of BlogSpot blogs out there. I never knew just how popular that specific freebee blog is. Totally boggles the mind, okay, my mind at least.
I dont really care for free blogs, they dont do much for my Alexa rank, and, it seems they dont help me out on my Google Rank either as I have dropped from a 2 to a whompin’ Zero. Very depressing. DotComs only cost around $15 a year at the max, so I really dont understand why people would not purchase their own domain.
Okay, yes, I do occationaly blog to help me out in pocket change, but if I dont get my RR back up I might have to go to truck driving school to earn some extra cash for the holidays, eek !
So if anybody wants to help me out here, (and this works both ways too), you can always add the Alexa widget to your blog and add me to Technorati Favs. I dont think I have StumbleUpon anymore as for some reason that kinda doesnt work on my blogs anymore. Its really wierd. ah well, thanks for reading!
XOXO

Some Mondays I actually do like and today is one of them. I really have no reason to be so happy as it seems I have gained again over the weekend; this time 2 pounds! I really have to stop doing that. I might need some help from alli*sigh*.
It could be that I am happy because I am taking Friday off work. The kiddo and I always ditch School and Work on Halloween. Its kinda a tradition now. and I love it! I call him in Sick at school and I take vacation from work. We go to lunch at a nice (but reasonable) restaurant. He choose Carls Jr this time. Boring!!! I want to go to Mimi’s, or Applebys, or IHOP; someplace someone can wait on me, heeheehee. But I guess Carls Jr is okay. They have a chicken salad that is only like 200 calories and is pretty good.
So the week is starting all over again and at least I have a good attitude
