Halloween Thoughts

Hi friends, I woke up this morning with a metal taste in my mouth, it was really gross.I think one of my tooth fillings is leaking.I went to work with a horrible headache.I was wishing I would have had Gatorade with me.I made a dentist appt for tommorow on my lunch break.The store was'nt really all that busy today.Cheryl was off today which I was very happy about.Anthony was there today, he wanted me to stay an extra hour, I really did'nt want to, but he pleaded with me so how could I say "No?"Tommorow night on Spike TV at 6:00 p.m.is a truly great CSI episode called Butterflied.This is the one episode that got me hooked on CSI.I am loving my new CSI book, there are lots of pictures of Jorja and William Peterson as well.I am so glad I am getting this tooth taken care of tommorow, it seems like ever since it was filled it has been nothing but trouble !!!!!!! Hope you all have a wonderful and safe Halloween, Love You All Lisa XO

Monday Musings

Hi friends , hope you all had a good Monday.First off I rushed to the post office this morning to get the mystery envelope and it was a surprise from my friend Anna.She had made these beautiful cat pictures for me !!!!!!!!!!! OMG I love them !!!!!!!!!! I was reading online this morning on CSI Files.com that a new C.S.I. book was being released today.OMG so I rushed to Barnes and Noble and took one look inside at the glossy beautiful  pictures and snatched it up.I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was worth every penny !!!!!!!! Work was pretty good today, Anthony was there when I came in and he and Robert were re-setting a display in the front.I got 10 people to sign up for our email -list and on another note Robin gave me a big stack of Friends and Family coupons for our upcoming Friends and Family weekend-if any of you would like one that have World Market near you , let me know.I was so surprised to hear that Ryan Phillipe and Reese Witherspoon are splitting up.They were like one of the most beautiful couples in Hollywood, so sad :( Hope you all have a spooky and great Halloween, Love You All Lisa XO

Sunday

Hi friends, hope you all had an ok Sunday.I was feeling better today but I am never going to eat at Taco Bell again.I do'nt want to feel like I did yesterday .Lisa Jo sent me some awesome CSI blinkies this morning that totally made my morning.Thank you so much Lisa Jo !!!!! You are so sweet and so thoughtful !!!!!!!! I went to Long's tonight to drop my memory card off from my digital camera, I will go back tommorow or Tuesday to get the pictures. I promised a very special friend some pictures.There is a mystery big envelope waiting for me at the post office, I ca'nt imagine what it could me except a long time ago I wrote a letter to Jorja Fox and told her how much I admired her and how much I felt I could relate to her CSI character Sara Sidle.OMG I hope she wrote back to me and sent a picture !!!!!!! I went out to dinner with a friend tonight and who did I see sitting at the bar but my dad and his new wife.My heart skipped a beat and I started to shake, I grabbed my friend 's arm and said "Let's Go" Thank god they did'nt see me, thier backs were turned to me.Me and Jennifer went to Mimi's Cafe instead.I love that restaurant !!!Anyhow I hope you all have a good week, I ca'nt believe it's almost Halloween !!!!!!!! Love You All Lisa XO

Feeling Sick

Hi friends, do me one favor, remind me never to eat at Taco Bell ever again !!!!!!!!!!!!! I spent all day trying not to be sick and my stomach was not happy all day.I felt sick a little last night too, I was thinking of a sweet guy online I just have been talking to lately and what a great smile he has !!!!!!!!!!!!! Anthony called me this morning wanting me to come into work but there was no way I could have, inless I would have had a wastebasket next to me to be sick into.I thought I was going to be sick in my local grocery store tonight and the manager there who is always sweet and says 'Hi" to me would'nt have been happy about me puking all over in his beautiful store.Anyhow I found out Wednesday night the CSI that will be on at 6:00 on Spike is Butterflied, is that episode the absolute greatest or what ? I love how Grissom reacts when he sees how much that woman looks like Sara.I love that episode soooooo much !!!!!!!!! I told Lisa Jo to watch that one or tape it if she can.Anyhow hope you all have a great Sunday and Jackie I am sooooooooo glad you are ok, I was worried sick about you, Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Typical BS at work

Hi friends, I had such a long day today and I started feeling sick at work too.My head was hurting and I was asked to stay until 6:00 tonight.I just kept thinking in two weeks I would have the money to buy the 6'th Season of CSI on DVD so that got me through the extra two hours.I still have Jackie and Lisa Jo on my mind, I was thinking of them at work today.Lately my assistant general manager Cheryl has been really moody and horrible to be around at work.I really think Anthony needs to have a word with her.I know Cheryl has issues and her dad has not been well lately but she just seems lately like she ca'nt handle the stress of work lately, I think she needs like a two -week vacation or something.I keep my journal private for a good reason sometimes because if Cheryl saw this entry in my journal , she would probably go off on me at work.I ca'nt believe I have this weekend off, I am excited and I need to have two days to recover before going back to work Monday.I would like to say 'Hi" to a new online friend I met today , Angie you seem like such an awesome person, I look forward to getting to know you, Hope you all have a good weekend, Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Two J- Landers need our prayers

Hi friends, Two of my favorite people in J-land are hurting right now and need our prayers so I ask you guys to please these two beautiful and wonderful women and let them know that we are thinking of them, First off Lisa Jo who has the journal Damaged Goods, some insensitive jerk hurt her which makes me very angry , They were jealous because Lisa is deeply loved in J-land and she is one of the most beautiful and kindest people I have ever met  .I love Lisa  and I hate seeing her sad .It makes me sad too.So please if you do'nt know Lisa Jo click the link on my side bar to her journal and let her know we care and are sending her our prayers and how much she means to us !!!!!!!!

The second beautiful lady who needs our prayers is Jackie who has the journal Hope Floats, those bad wildfires that are burning out of control in Southern California are really close to where she lives.Jackie is an amazing lady who has such a positive spirit and she needs us right now to pray for her and to keep her in our thoughts I hope so bad her house will be ok and she wo'nt be evacuated . I know if one of us was in this situation Jackie would be praying for us.So please go visit these two wonderful ladies,  I thank you and I love you all Lisa XO
