Writing and other pursuits

I admit that I am still one of the old ones who loves the feel of pen and paper. I will sit down to write postcards, letters, and cards to friends. I am insomniac and it helps me stay in touch with people. Today however was different. I literally sat down and wrote out 18 postcards, three cards, and two letters. I sat and wrote these things out. I've had people ask my why I don't just email them to the people involved. To be honest, because I personally enjoy getting mail. I might get lazy and n

Wales

I am still surprised that many people don't know that Wales is a separate country... well a principality of England actually although I'm not supposed to be bitter that we are still under occupation.   SOOOO some pictures   FIRST MY OWN AREA       Ystrafellte.

Accepting oneself

How time flies.... My last blog is already 2 months old. At that time, I felt superior, giving advices all around and flattered by all the positive comments that responded to my blogs.   Today, I see the months passing, with too many days of work hard to bear, and my fatigue increasing day by day. I'm apparently no more the same as I was only months ago. Most of my momentum, which came from my feeling of always having the same strength as I had 30 years ago, is slowly disappearing. On th

Pictures of a World

I think we all have things that mean something to us. Places that have importance or ideas that play a part in our lives. I was chatting with someone and talking about my home here on Long Island and mentioned I was a only a five minute drive from the beach. It seemed to surprise them that I lived so close and that there was a beach. Okay, I'm about to be a little sarcastic but I can't help it. I live on an ISLAND so there is a BEACH around the island.   However, I also know like so many peopl

The Cure - IV

The Cure - IV     I saw the smoke plume from miles away. When I arrived, the police and fire department had the whole block cordoned off. My Midtown apartment was obviously a total loss and they are hosing down the surrounding buildings to keep it from spreading.   A young woman wearing a New Orleans Fire Department jacket approached me and asked, "Are you Sawyer from 2C?"   "Yes Mam. What happened? Mrs. Tran kept a tight ship. Everything was up to code and inspected twice a year."

Being Bad, Being Good, and Finishing Up

Well, this week I was bad. Really bad, at least when it came to staying on Weight Watchers. My father has been talking none stop about this new sandwich from Arby's that he wished he could try. I ended up being off from work so figured, what the hell, I drove the hour and ten minutes to the nearest Arby's to get him his sandwich. Now I bought him his, got a different one for me, and then figuring if I was in for a pinch might as well go in for the pound. Next door was a White Castle. I bought a

Gracious it's been a while.

Can't believe it's been like six weeks since I last posted here. Guess the old adage that no news is good news is apt.   There is nothing exciting or annoying to report on the baby front. The surrogate is doing well. She had her last ultra sound two weeks ago and everything looks good. She goes back on Monday and then every two weeks until she, the baby, is born. Then again, we are at week 32 so that means only about 3-4 visits - not too bad.   Right now work seems to be the biggest iss

Books in My Private Library

I have an addiction. It is one I feed as slowly as possible. I collect books, and I guess it is going to happen because I am an English major. I will admit I am not a snob. I don't have countless collections of Shakespeare, or the complete collection of the Bronte sister's works. I have some of them and some of all the authors I read while taking my courses. Now some of those have become favorites but that isn't the bulk of my private library. Fantasy novels are my down fall. Yes, I will admi

Postcards

Okay, I admit it. I collect postcards. No I don't mean I go out and buy them and put them in books. No, I don't go out and buy old postcards that others have written. What I do collect is postcards from friends. When people go away they often want to bring home some part of their experience to share with the people they left behind. Seems everyone takes pictures, buys shirts, or some other little thing that eventually gets lost among your belongings. However, when friends go away I ask for one t

Interviews and stupidity

Okay so there was an opening at my store for my old position of Operations Senior. I had done that job for four years before I had to move down to Long Island. Naturally there were no openings for it when I came here so I went into customer service where I had maxed out on the pay.There is nothing like being told you do your job very well, in fact you get a perfect score, but you can't have a raise because you are paid more than that position now. Well yesterday the boss mentioned to me that he

First date: how far am I willing to go?

We all have heard about and pondered —or maybe later regretted not pondering enough— the traditional question: How far should one go on a first date?   You know... the awkward first date, when you want to show the guy that you like him without appearing too forward / clingy / horny. You want to find the right balance that will demonstrate both interest and respect, that will keep him focused on you while leaving all options open on the scale of "How about another date one of these days?" to "W

One particular song's stuck in my head - cuz it's awesome

The Left is a pretty cool band from Vancouver apparently... hooked on their song right now... it's playing on repeat.   lyrics slow wandering the city blocks I know you by the way you walk and white knuckled searching the atmosphere but I won’t find you cause you’re not here   I’ll be falling through the cracks for you and always coming back to pull you through   if the rain starts to fall you’ll be safe in my arms I’ll carry you and the waves when they crash you’ll be safe on my back I

Accident's Happen and other works

I have been asked if I am finishing Charlie or if I have just forgotten about the story. The truth is chapter 21 is done and I am working on chapter 22. I do apologize for not having 21 posted yet. My beta and my editor are currently on vacation. While both have said I should send my work to them and they will work on them, I won't do that. A vacation is just that. A break from your normal work load and I would like them to focus on what they are doing and enjoy it. I am not sure if those who

Oh, bother . . . . v. 2.0

Unless something very important occurs tomorrow, my life as I now know it will be seriously jeopardized.   It's not life threatening, but it will be a big bother; and, I'm not in the mood for getting screwed when I didn't, technically, do anything to earn this kind of treatment.   Oh, if something doesn't occur, I may be unable to get online for sometime.   Oh, and I think I'm going to stay here in Texas, maybe get an apartment over towards Arlington or Grand Prairie, or maybe even as far

My Scale - Friend or Foe?

I've made no secret of the fact that I joined Weight Watchers. It has been six weeks now and after a gain last week it was back to a loss this week. I think I can accept it all. Weight has been an issue for me for years, going back to high school. Through the younger grades I was one of those lean little kids everyone liked to pick on. I was average height but thin and wiry. I never really learned to fight but I could run like the wind back then. High school came and personal disasters had

A Day at the Duck

Okay, so today was suppose to be my day off. I had things I wanted to get done. One of those included the opportunity to go out to Flanders and pick up something that was uniquely from Long Island for two people on the site who have come to mean a lot to me. I am a reasonably intelligent person so it shouldn't be that hard right? There is a reason why my nickname is "Charlie Brown". Like my character, Charlie Wagner, oh did I just give a hint where his name came from, I have no luck at all. B

The Cure - III

Carter Tower Houston, Tx   Jason Carter was an empire builder. From his 25th story penthouse office window, the cities of Houston and Baytown sprawled out below him as far as a man could see. As a young man of thirty he had taken moribund drilling company and through smart moves and indescribable effort had turned it into the fourth largest oil field services company in the world. All of the big oil companies did business with Carter Consolidated.   His rigs did the drilling, his pipes did

Can't feel like writing for some reason

My heart is no longer in my stories; I don't know why.   It's like I know the words to write, but not the words to speak to my soul. When I use to write, I felt for my characters and wanted to give them a world to live in, but now, I don't feel anything.   My heart is growing dimmer and I don't know why, except perhaps my life has become so cold from work.

Civic Pride

Okay, maybe I'm a dork, but I'm feeling particularly full of civic pride right now. I ran across the bid video for my college town, which won the 2011 Great American Main Street Reward.   Here's the video:     I like to call present-day Newark a Disney Town, USA. LOL. It's gotta a lot more generic over the years, but the tradeoff is that it's doing pretty well. (Thinks about Tet and that lovely little college town he has.)   Any people got some nice tourism videos to share of
