Tuesday Thoughts

Hi friends, hope you all had a good Tuesday.I worked today and Anthony was back.Cheryl was off today too which was nice.I told Anthony from now on I would rather work days then close at night because I do'nt like how Cheryl acts when Anthony is'nt around.Eva did'nt come in today so I hope she learned her lesson but something tells me she did'nt.She seems kind of clueless.The store was'nt too busy today but Anthony said our bitchy district manager was coming by.I was like 'Ugh" Cyndie is such a bitch.I hate when she comes by our store.Everyone gets really nervous.Thankfully she came in a half hour before I left so I did'nt have to see much of her.I might have to schedule a doctor's appt soon.I noticed today at work I was having some pelvic pain.Hmmmmmmm guess I should find out what's going on.One thing with me that does'nt seem right is that I have'nt had a period in 4 months.I am off tommorow , hope you all have a good Wednesday, Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Monday

Hi friends, I just got home.You know Mondays are icky, lol.But it's almost over.I worked today and my Anthony was off.I missed him , the day went by at a snail's pace.Eva came back in my store today looking for Anthony again, God that girl does not give up.I wonder if she realizes how desperate she looks trying to flirt with Anthony when he is very happily engaged.I would never try to act like she is acting.I came home and my mailbox was stuffed with comments !!!!!!!!!! I was like OMG I had sooooooo many.They were from my sweet friend Mandy who I've missed so much.Also my long lost friend Connie updated her journal today too.I love the fact my sounds are working again, I keep gambling between the cat's meow and the crowd cheering as my sign on sound.I love some of your choices.All this time before I could never hear your sounds when you signed on and now I can-it's so cool !!!!!!!!!!! Back to work for me tommorow, hope tommorow wo'nt be as boring as today was, by the way I did my workout this morning so I feel good about that, Have a good Tuesday everyone, Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Sunday Thoughts

Hi friends, hope you all had a good Sunday.I'm mourning the weekend being over already, lol.I just got back from my workout.I was good with my eating today.Back to work for me tommorow, I was thinking maybe I would'nt mention Cheryl again to Anthony tommorow inless he happens to ask about her.I am grateful he put me down to work 4 days this week.I am happy to have the hours.

I forgot to mention yesterday that the sound on my computer works again , I am sooooooo happy, now I can hear all of your sounds when you come online from my buddy list .Some of them are hilarious, I like the cat meowing and the lamb bleats in the animals section cracked me up because an aunt I used to have laughed just like that, lol.I can finally hear the songs in the CSI videos on youtube as well.I ca'nt believe the Superbowl is next weekend already, wow.I love watching the commercials as well as the game.Hope you all have a good week, Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Saturday Thoughts

Hi friends, hope you all had a good Saturday.I am feeling a little better.I called work last night to ask Anthony if someone else could work for me Friday night so I would'nt have to close with Ms Sourpuss, aka Cheryl.I think now that Robert is gone she is bitchier then ever because she has to work more now.I am not going to put up with her gigantic tude anymore.I walked on eggshells for a while with her but no more !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found some more awesome videos on YouTube of George Eads and Jorja Fox.You Tube is the best, lol.I bought some hair dye at Long's today to touch up my grey roots later.I was screwing around online earlier and I accidently erased everyone on my buddy list so then I spent over an hour readding everyone back.I was curious to ask you guys what your favorite website is ? Mine is now www.You Tube.com lol.Hope you all have a good Sunday, rain is here once again.Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Sick Again .................

Hi friends, Once again I am sick again with a cold.I am frustrated because I had a cold for three weeks and I was hoping it was getting ready to go away and now with a vengance it 's back -ugh !!!!!!!!! I had a dream last night about Robert my co-worker who was fired a few weeks ago for the champagne incident.I hugged him in the dream and told him how much I missed him.I woke up feeling extremely sad.I still ca'nt get over that CSI episode last night, Sara and Nick were so hurt, I wanted to take both of them in my arms and hug them.I thought Catherine also seemed really bitchy last night !!!!!!!!

I went to Safeway today looking for Cold -Ease reccomended by Amy- thanks Amy :) Of course they did'nt have it so I just bought some Theraflu Cold stuff instead.I wrote Lisa Jo a snail -mail letter today and mailed it off stuffed with eye candy for her.I ca'nt wait for her to recieve it.I might get off here in a few minutes as I am having trouble breathing through my nose.I think a hot bath is in order, hope you all have a good weekend, Love You All Lisa

Wow I am shocked .........................

Wow I just finished watching tonight's CSI and I am shocked at Catherine's betrayal of the team on tonight's show .I ca'nt believe that she was willing to betray the team and make a fake crime scene.  The sadness and hurt I saw in Nick and Sara's eyes at the end was heart-wrenching.Oh man I really am not liking Keppler at all, I was hoping last week I would be wrong about him but my first impression of him is turning out to be true.I do not like him .Please Grissom hurry back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your team needs you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the way can any of you who watched tonight's CSI tell me what the hell that gift was Grissom sent to Sara ??????????????????????? Love You All CSI fans and Non CSI fans :)

Thursday Thoughts

Hi friends, I just got home from work.I was feeling sick today from a sinus headache.This cold just does'nt want to leave and it's pissing me off !!!!!!!! I hope this cold is'nt relasping and coming back again.I am so over being sick.My store was not too busy today but I was glad since I did'nt feel well anyway.I guess when this cold started going into my chest I should have gone to the hospital and bought anti-biotics but I did'nt want to go there and sit around in the waiting room.My poor Anthony was'nt feeling well either today, I told him when he was going home today to "Take care of that cold because I do'nt want you to sick three weeks like I was" I am off for the next 3 days and then working Monday again, hopefully Monday I will be feeling better.Tonight is CSI night !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes Yes -Woo-hoo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am excited .Hope you all have a great TGIF, I am so ready for the weekend, By the way Eva was coming into my store again today looking for Anthony, I was pissed beyond belief, I thought I was through with that shit :( Sigh ...............................Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

My gorgeous friend Debbi

Debbi sent me this lovely picture of her tonight :) I think she is beautiful !!!!!!

Wednesday Thoughts

Hi friends, hope you all had a good Wednesday.I went back to work today and thank God Anthony was back, he said he was sick though :( He caught the cold from hell I have had for the past three weeks.I told him I was glad he was back and that Cheryl was in a really bad mood Monday.He said "How was she in a bad mood?" "Oh she was just grouchy, I asked for more 5 dollar bills because I only had 8 and she snapped that I had enough" , I told him and then I added "You are never like that" I saw him smile when I said that .I have never ever seen Anthony in a bad mood.He is always just amazingly calm and easy to be around.He is a pleasure to come to work and see every day.I offered to buy him a hot tea at lunch but he said he had already had two already.I was tired at work and felt groggy at my register.I ate a chicken burrito with salsa in it at lunch and it gave me heartburn so I sipped ice water to ease the heartburn.A guy from corporate stopped by and had a meeting out in the Food Court with Anthony and Cheryl, she was there today but at least Anthony was there to balance her out , I am glad I told her about her grouchy mood Monday, I am not going to stand back anymore and put up with that BS from her !!!!!!!!!!!! It's time I started sticking up for myself around her.I will be back at work tommorow and then off Friday.Tommorow night is a new CSI, it looked like an interesting episode but it seems like the new guy Keppler is trying to make Catherine betray the rest of the team somehow making a fake crime scene -I was like WTH is up with that ???????????? I hope you all have a good Thursday,I ask one favor of you guys , Riss who is an online friend of mine  is having surgery tommorow so please say a prayer for her tonight that everything will go ok tommorow during her surgery.She is a very sweet and wonderful person. I Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Tuesday Thoughts

Hi friends, hope you all had a good Tuesday.I was off today and it figured Anthony was back today , but he will be there again tommorow and Thursday at least so that will be good.I hope Cheryl will be off at least one of the other two days I am working this week, I am getting fed up with her hoity -toity attitude and one thing I have noticed is that on the days when Anthony is off she is usually on her worst behavior , maybe he should be made aware of this.

The inspection went ok this morning , as soon as the guys came in here to check the smoke alarms Mr Diva freaked out and dove under my bed for an hour, he reappeared an hour later when I poured some food for him in the kitchen.I worked out earlier and ate grilled vegetables and chicken at lunch, I need to write a few letters on Friday and get them out.Hope you all have a good Wednesday, my apartment is looking really good now, lol.Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Monday Thoughts

Hi friends, hope you all had a good Monday.It never has been my favorite day of the week.I went back to work today, my gorgeous Anthony was'nt there though and Cheryl the manager who was there opening was in a crappy mood which is'nt unusual of Cheryl.She is a very moody person, I missed Anthony , I really wished he would have been there today instead of Miss Moody.I watched what I ate at lunch today getting grilled chicken and vegetables but I must admit that Super Bird sandwich I had yesterday was yummy !!!!!!!!!! Tommorow I am off which is good because management are coming by all the apartments on my level to check the smoke alarms.I think it is a pain in the ass in a way to have my personal space invaded , but it will just be for 10 minutes, no big deal.

I am really happy I am working 3 days this week, three is perfect.When I go back to work Wednesday Anthony will be back-thank god !!!!!!!!!!!! I set some ant traps up in my bathroom and now all the little critters are gone just in time for the inspection tommorow, hope you all have a good Tuesday, Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Leanna's Birthday

Hi friends, I was watching Fox news tonight and they were telling about this beautiful little girl named Leanna who is missing.Today would have been her 9'th birthday.I hope she is found , I ca'nt imagine the agony her parents are going through, wondering if she is ok or warm or hungry.I know if Leanna was my daughter I would want everyone in town looking for her.I feel so bad whenever I hear that a child is kidnapped. I will never forget being in high school in 1993 when Polly Klass was abducted .I became so involved putting flyers up at my high school, I wanted so much for Polly to come home, I was devastated when I heard she was dead.I still think of Polly every day, she is never far from my thoughts.I hope someday I can have a child of my own .

I spent the whole day cleaning in here and it looks really good in my living room now.I can see the carpet again, lol. After I was done cleaning though I was tired and did'nt feel like cooking so I went to Denny's and screwed up my diet and ate a Super Bird sandwich and fries. I will watch what I eat the rest of the week though, Hope you all have a good week, Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Saturday

Hi friends, I just got home , boy we were really busy today.I ca'nt count the number of times I was asked to check a price today.I was fed up by the time I left work today.Anthony was off today which made me a little sad.I was wondering though if firing Robert upset Anthony so much he had to take a few days off to recover.I noticed on the schedule he wo'nt be back until Tuesday.I miss Robert, I knew that I would though.Before I started work I went to Safeway to do a Jorja scan in all the magazines -which is pretty much me looking in all the new magazines for Jorja pictures, lol.I found an awesome little picture of William Peterson and a little article in the new TV Guide.That was worthwhile.I love William Peterson, I miss him on CSI, he is the glue of the team that holds them together plus I think he is unbelievably handsome.

I am happy to be off tommorow and I did get my wish next week, I am working 3 days -yea !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found out for those of you Without a Trace fans the Second Season will be out March 13'th.I went to look at the DVD's at Barnes and Noble- they are still having the buy one boxed set, get one free.All the CSI boxed sets were gone today not that I was surprised, lol.Hope you all have a good Sunday, Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Surprise goodbyes at work

Hi friends, I stopped by work today and my co-worker Leslie was really happy to see me , she was like " OMG everyone has been asking where you are , where's Lisa" I laughed until I mentioned Robert's name , he was one of my asst managers at the store and I had always thought he was cute and sweet.Leslie told me that last week Robert was fired or as she put it "Let go" I was like "What????????" At first she told me she was'nt allowed to tell me what happened which I respected, after all she was at the register ringing up customers and that would'nt have been the time to have a private discusssion.I saw my adorable Anthony and Mark and Lydia and Cheryl when I came in, I went into the office to sign for my paycheck and I felt Robert's presence everywhere in the office.It was sad and strange.

I saw Leslie again on the way out, and since nobody was around she told me what happened with Robert, ( This is when I am so grateful my journal is private)  Leslie said that one night when Robert was closing a case of champagne vanished from the stock room worth $ 3000 -she said Robert was the only person who had the key to the stockroom where the champagne was locked up .I would never have expected Robert to do anything like this and I felt so sad hearing it and Leslie also said that one time before when Robert was at the store closing this happened  before too.She said corporate called after the second incident and said Anthony would have to fire Robert.I was thinking how torn up inside and sad Anthony must have felt to have to fire Robert-Anthony is the kind of boss who is easy to sit down with and talk to, I go to him for advice alot and he always knows just what to say to make me feel better.Anthony is a sensitive person and I think it must have hurt him when he found out what Robert did, to find out that someone , one of your employees is'nt who you think they are I imagine can be devastating.I am very sad about Robert.And Leslie my best girlfriend at work told me that the tendon in her hand was damaged probably forever today and she would be leaving in the summer.Oh God no :( I am slowly grasping the fact the Robert is longer with us at World Market but Leslie leaving too ???????? Today has been a sad day :(

Not too keen on Keppler

Hi friends, hope you all are enjoying your Friday.I hoped to work today but I never got a call from Anthony so I guess they did'nt need me today.I will however swing by my work to pick up my paycheck so Mr Diva and I can eat.I checked up the new CSI last night, and I must say I am not sure if I like that guy Keppler who is replacing Gil Grissom on there for 4 weeks, I did'nt really get a good feeling about him but it make me miss Grissom more.Hurry back Billy !!!!!!!!!!!!!! CSI is'nt the same without you !!!!!!!

The sun is shining through my window  , thank god the cold spell here appears to be over.I noticed last night in my bathroom an army of ants have decided to make themselves at home, guess I will be going to Long's today to pick up some Raid, there will be a fire inspection here Tuesday too, hopefully I will be here then so Mr Diva does'nt freak out and hide the whole day, hope you all have a good TGIF,I will be going to work out for 45 minutes later since I have nothing but time on my hands, Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Thursday entry 2

Hi friends , this is my second entry for today, I felt compelled to write about Jennifer in my earlier entry.I feel she should still be alive and I hope charges are filed against all the DJ's who were involved in her senseless death.I was haunted by hearing her voice on Inside Edition earlier shortly before she died.There was a lady who is a nurse who tried to call into the radio station and warm how dangerous the water contest was , but the Dj's just laughed her off .:( I really feel for Jennifer's three kids.

I went to work out for 45 minutes earlier so now I have energy for tonight.Oh by the way I forgot to mention last night there are two CSI's on tonight, at 8:00 p.m. is a repeat from last season called Rashomama and then at 9:00 is the new one Sweet Jane, I ca'nt wait, hope you all have a good Friday, Hopefully I will get asked to work tommorow, Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Jennifer did'nt have to die

Police Probe Death After Radio Contest

By JULIET WILLIAMS

AP

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Jan. 18) - As participants in KDND-FM's water-drinking contest chugged bottle after bottle, a listener called in to warn the disc jockeys that the stunt could be fatal.

Attorneys for the family of Jennifer Lea Strange said they plan to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the radio station that held the drinking contest.

Talk About It: Post Thoughts

"Yeah, we're aware of that," one of them responded.

Another DJ said with a laugh: "Yeah, they signed releases, so we're not responsible. We're OK."

Those comments, and others made during the Jan. 12 "Morning Rave" radio show, appeared to give little regard to the risk of water intoxication. But just hours after the contest, a woman who guzzled nearly two gallons was dead.

On Wednesday, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department launched a criminal investigation into the incident, and attorneys for the family of Jennifer Lea Strange said they plan to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the radio station.

The county coroner said preliminary autopsy findings indicate Strange, a 28-year-old mother of three, died of water intoxication.

Show Tapes Released

Authorities decided to pursue the investigation after listening to a tape of the show, obtained by The Sacramento Bee, during which DJs joked about the possible dangers of consuming too much water, sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Tim Curran said. At one point, the DJs even alluded to a college student who died during a similar stunt in 2005.

Strange was one of about 18 contestants who tried to win a Nintendo Wii gaming console by determining how much water they could drink without going to the bathroom.

Several hours into the contest, Strange was interviewed on the air and complained that her head hurt.

"They keep telling me that it's the water. That it will tell my head to hurt and then it will make me puke," she said.

Eventually, Strange gave in and accepted the second-place prize: tickets to a Justin Timberlake  concert. She commented that she looked pregnant, and a female DJ agreed.

"Oh, my gosh, look at that belly. That's full of water. ... Come on over, Jennifer, you OK?" a male DJ asked. "You going to pass out right now? Too much water?"

Several hours later, Strange was found dead in her home.

On Tuesday, KDND's parent company, Entercom/Sacramento, fired 10 employees connected to the contest, including three morning disc jockeys. The company also took the morning show off the air.

Station spokesman Charles Sipkins said Wednesday the company had not yet heard from the sheriff's department but that it would cooperate with the investigation.

Tired Me

Hi friends, I am so exhausted already and it's only 7:40 p.m. I am puzzled as to why.Oh well I cheated on my diet today, I had the breakfast at IHOP with the bacon, eggs and pancakes.I am only human I guess.Tommorow I will eat fish and fruit and drink lots of water.I did laundry today, went grocery shopping, took back some library books.I miss not working, I hate being off so much.I ca'nt stand not working.Tommorow night is a new CSI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally, I am so ready for it, bring it on !!!!!!! I'm not excited am I ? Lol

I bought an interesting book at the library today explaining cat's feelings.It's a really good book.I love my cat, Mr Diva is such a love.I will never regret adopting him.He gives me a reason to get up every day, he's my little furry baby.Hope you all have a great Thursday, I hope I get asked to work Friday, I told Anthony yesterday I could work Friday.My long lost friend Debbi emailed me tonight saying she is back on Aol again.I have mixed feelings about that, I am glad in one way but I do'nt like the direction our friendship went after she moved.I feel things are'nt the same between us.Maybe I am just moody today and need a nap, Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

My favorite chicken recipe

Hi friends, I am sharing my favorite recipe for preparing chicken, hope you all enjoy, here it is .................
 
                     Chicken Jeruselum
                   
                      4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
                      I pint of cream or half and half or if you prefer a tub of sour cream
                      One bottle of white wine, cooking or any kind you choose
                      2 cans of artichoke hearts
                      a package of fresh mushrooms
                       Fresh green onions

Ok first dip the chicken breasts in flour and fry for 30 minutes or until brown.When they are nicely browned add the white wine and the cream and the mushrooms and artichoke hearts.Simmer for about 45 minutes.When it is done simmering let it cool for 10 minutes and garnish with green onions when you are about to serve it.There you have it, a simple, delicious way to have chicken.
:)

Tuesday Thoughts

Hi friends, hope you all had an ok Tuesday.I went back to work today and my gorgeous Anthony was there at least.The whole day at work I was bored out of my mind except when Anthony was nearby.I was really glad Anthony was there today, it had been a week since I had been at work.The mall was dead today , I'm hoping in February when the nearby Outback Steakhouse restaurant opens it brings some more business into my store.I spotted another Jorja Fox necklace at my store today so I bought it. It's like some little green quartz roses strung together.I love Jorja's style.She always looks so well put together on CSI and any awards shows I have seen her at.

When I was watching the news this morning on KTVU they claimed that the day before of the water drinking contest a woman whi is a nurse had called into the radio show that sponsered the contest where the woman died in Sacramento warning the radio dj's that drinking too much water was dangerous but they did'nt take her seriously.Wow that pissed me off, that lady should be still be alive today and because of a foolish contest she is'nt and now there are three kids without a mother :( I betcha anything if they had a choice whether to have the Nintendo game set or thier mom they would pick thier mom.God the whole thing just makes me so sad.Hope you all have a good Wednesday, it's still pretty nippy here.Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO P.S. Tommorow I will be posting a recipe in my journal that I love :)

Monday Thoughts

Hi friends, I love that picture of Jorja above, she is so damn beautiful !!!!!!!!!!! She also seems like a great person to have as a friend.I read online last night that she and her co-stars on CSI are all friends in real life and one time she was supposed to go on a trip to Europe with her co-stars George Eads and Gary Dourdan who play Nick Stokes and Warrick Brown and she was sick with the flu so they waited for her to get better so they could all go together.Awwwwwwww that is so sweet !!!!!!!!! I caught up on my reading today and ate good today, salads and iced tea and water.I will try to get back to the exercise room tonight .Tommorow I will be back at work, I will be sooooooo glad to be back, I miss my gorgeous Anthony.I always miss him when I do see him for a few days.It is still really cold here, this weather is crazy for the past two years, I think global warming is to blame myself.I keep imagining being on a tropical island with Anthony and drinking margaritas and making him pineapple coconut cakes and lounging outside with him lying next to me getting a tan.:) Nice image - I love letting my imagination run wild.It's so fun.

My tickle is gone today, thank god and thank you guys for your suggestions for getting rid of my throat tickle.I appreciate all of your suggestions.I am craving Rice Dream tonight, I might go pick some up tommorow.Hope you all have a good week, I Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Sunday Thoughts

Hi friends, I am slowly getting better although now I have a really annoying tickle in my throat.Do any of you have any suggestions to soothe it ? I did'nt do much of anything today, just stayed here and chilled and tried to get a few things done.I will be back at work Tuesday which will be nice.I will be happy to go back.I miss Anthony , I hope he is doing ok and has'nt gotten this cold virus.I carry anti-bacterial hand gels around in my purse and I try to use them every day but somehow I got sick anyway.Oh well guess the cold weather here has'nt helped much.I ca'nt wait until Spring, winter is not my favorite season.Did you guys read that story on the Aol homepage this morning about the mom who died drinking too much water trying to win a Nintendo game set for her kids ? The whole story is just so sad.I think the radio station should have done thier research better before having this contest and found that that yes you can die from drinking too much water.I blame the radio station for her death- now there are 3 kids without a mother, sad :(

I hope you all have a good week, tommorow is Martin Luther King Day .I am off so I will make the most of the day by exercising and keeping up with my reading.Hopefully within two weeks I will be working 3- 4 days again.Have a good week everyone , Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

I love this picture

Saturday Thoughts

Hi friends, I am feeling a little better today although not 100 % back to normal but better then yesterday.I did'nt even bother posting an entry last night.I took a bath and felt the room spinning when I got out.I think whatever this virus is a combnation of a cold and the flu.I had Cheryl call me yesterday when I was sleeping wanting me to come into work today but I am not up to it.Hopefully Tuesday when I go back to work I will be better.

I got an email from my friend Diane yesterday.I had called her last weekend to tell her about an episode of Without a Trace she had always wanted to see.She said her grandfather passed away last weekend and that is why she did'nt call me back.She said also after Thanksgiving her aunt Bev was in a car accident and died.She and I had spoken at Christmas , but she said she had'nt mentioned her aunt to me because she did'nt want to make me sad.Awwwwww I felt so bad reading that, she was trying to protect me but I would have been there for her as a friend had she needed me.I will try to call her next weekend because she said she was going to be busy this weekend with her grandpa's funeral and everything.I have a new obsession, CSI video's from www.youtube.com wow I love them, I only wish the sound on my computer was working so I could hear them.The sound on my computer has been not working for months, it's really frustrating :( Wish I knew what was wrong with it.I am going to try to get caught up with journals today, Have a good Saturday everyone, I Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

 

I am getting sick

Uh -oh , sneezes, oh no, cough, cough, It's happening, Hi friends , I am getting sick, I have been sneezing on and off all day and my head feels achy and  my throat feels slightly sore when I swallow.Ugh, I hate being sick.So if you guys do'nt see me online too much tommorow , do'nt worry please, I will probably be in bed. :( I put the beautiful CSI picture up in my journal to give me a little pick me up.Hopefully this virus wo'nt stick around too long I am hoping.Damn it I was supposed to go out tommorow with some friends, sigh............... Hope you all have a good Friday, I will try to come on for a little while tommorow, Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO P.S.Tonight I will dream of Anthony coming over here with some green tea and Vic's vapor rub :)

Thursday Thoughts

Hi friends, this is my third day off from work in a row, I am not liking this much, I miss Anthony, I miss my co-workers.I do plan on going to work-out later though and it is Thursday night woo-hoo .The CSI that is on tonight is a repeat Fannysmacking- The one where Kevin Federline starred in playing a punk which is pretty much what he is in real life.I admit the beating scenes in this episode were hard to watch and especially when Greg was attacked I was in tears, I love how Jorja Fox was such a supportive friend to Greg after he was attacked by the gang.She was so sweet to him in that episode , when Sara came to the scene Greg recognized her by her perfume and Sara was trying so hard not to cry as she stroked his hair and knelt down beside him.One thing I have noticed about CSI , let me know if some of you have noticed that too is that the music on there is really catchy and sometimes the day after an episode airs I will find one of the songs from CSI playing in my head , not a bad thing mind you.I highly reccomend the CSI soundtrack album available for purchase on http://store.cbs.com/section.php?sid=593  I have been really good about my diet and exercising this week, so far I have eaten almost all healthy food this week and I have worked out 4 times this week, go me !!!!!!!!! I think Anthony is a motivation for me to get back into shape, I would like to see if I start losing weight if he notices, lol.Also when I go to Vegas in April I would like to be a little slimmer.Madonna decided to get in on the action between The Donald and Rosie's fued, defending Rosie and Star Jones called Donald Trump to give him kudos on saying Barbara Walters is a liar, personally I never could stand Star Jones -ugh I am so glad she is off The View .What a circus, lol.I was updating my calender last night and I noticed I do'nt know of your birthdays, can you guys do me a favor and email me your birthdays so I can write them on my calender, I have some already, Lisa Jo's , Margo, Angie,Gretchen,  - I think that's all the J-lander birthdays I have so send me those birthdays ok, Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Happy Birthday to my journal

Hi friends, I was looking through my early archives and I noticed that my journal had a birthday on January 8'th -It is hard to believe I have been journaling for a year now, Lisa Jo was one of my first readers and she always left me a comment every day , it meant so much to me that someone cared enough to comment every day on my journal when I was new to J-land and just starting out.I have met such wonderful people in J-land , Lisa Jo, Jackie, Missie,  Margo, Angie, Shermeen, Leene, Chris, Amy, Mary Alice,Linda,  Mandy, Angela, Phil, Terry Ann, Jennifer, Linda, Alisa, Gretchen, Kelli, Angel, Chrissie, Donna,Barbara, Emily, Lisa( Seraphoflove) , Jenny,Maria, Shelly,Angel,  Heather, Emmi, Riss, Lyn, Jeanne,  think I got everyone -you all mean so much to me, you are my J-land family and I love you all so much, your lives have touched mine and you all mean the world to me.Thank you for being my friends !!!!!!!!!!!

The saga of Rosie and the Donald is still alive and well.On The View this morning Barbara Walters was mentioning a letter Donald wrote to Rosie yesterday and he had said some lies in it claiming Barbara had said some stuff about Rosie that she had'nt -stirring the pot I guess so Barbara said on The View this morning Donald Trump is a "Poor Pathetic man" ROFL ROFL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree , he is pathetic to keep this fued going every day and trying to start trouble between Rosie and Barbara.I'm glad Barbara is on Rosie's side, Donald is an arrogant bully who thinks he is better then everyone else, glad Barbara saw the light about him, I might update again later, by the way my CSI did'nt win for Best Drama last night, Grey's Anatomy did, sigh.............. oh well in my heart CSI won I know some of you love Grey's though :), Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Tuesday Thoughts

Hi friends, hope you all had a good Tuesday.I went back to work today and felt like falling alsleep all day at my register.I was so tired all day , hope I am not getting sick.I was bored today at work because my store was so slow and my sweet Anthony was off today :( I am watching what I eat every day making healthy choices at lunch and my beverages of choice are either ice water or green tea.My stomach is starting to stick out too much lately and I do'nt like it.My mom told me I looked pregnant a few days ago, I was like "Gee thanks" I am looking forward to the People 's Choice Awards tonight, I really hope CSI wins for Best Drama, that show is such a joy in my life, lol.My store has all the Valentine stuff out already, just another day to remind me I am single, lol. Whatever I wo'nt dwell on it.I love my new John Mayer cd, he has a great voice and is nice to work -out to as well.I need to buy a basket at my store to store my DVD's in, I do'nt really have anything to store them in.For some reason I have been craving pancakes all day , OMG I love the buttermilk pancakes at IHOP, they are sooooooo yummy !!!!!!!! IHOP is the best, lol.Well hope you all have a good Wednesday, I am off work the rest of the week, At least I can devote some time to working out, Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Monday Thoughts

Hi friends, hope you all had a good Monday.Mine was ok, I was off work today so I wrote a couple of letters that much needed to be sent off, I have'nt had time to write many letters lately working 5 days a week, but I sat down this morning to do it and it feels good.I went out for a little while and do some errands, I came back and worked out for an hour and I feel like I got a few things ackcomplished today, I think tommorow night The People's Choice Awards are on -I hope CSI wins for Best Drama -I would be sooooo excited to see Jorja and William Peterson and the rest of the cast get up on stage to recieve an award, I tried to go to the website and vote for CSI to win , but it said the polls for Best Drama were closed -damn :( Back at work for me tommorow, and Anthony is off -figures the only day I am working this week and Anthony is off :( On Spike tv this week they are airing CSI episodes from the First Season at 7:00 , 8:00 and 9:00 p.m. -it is fun to see the early episodes and see how young the cast was back in 2000, I remember every episode , lol.By the way there is a woman in my city making headlines on the news by painting messages she claims are from God on the roof of her house and garage and all over her car.People in her San Mateo neighborhood are getting fed up, there is an article in my ho,etown paper about it today, www.smdailyjournal.com if you all are interested .Hope you all have a good Tuesday, rain is wanting to come back by Thursday, Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

OMG Barnes and Noble is having a great Sale !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi friends, OMG for those of you who are trying to complete your DVD boxed set collections, check this out.Right now at Barnes and Noble bookstores there are having an awesome sale on thier boxed sets of TV shows.You wo'nt believe this, if you buy one boxed set over $ 20 say 39.99 or 59.99 or 89.99 you 'll get one of equal or lesser value free !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow I know some of you are new CSI fans, ;) wink-this would be a good time to get a boxed set -I would reccomend the 6'th Season or the 4'th Season for you C.S.I. fans, lol.But all of the CSI boxed sets are excellent.I have all the CSI boxed sets 1- 6 already but for those are you that are trying to complete your collections :) I just got back from my hour workout, I tried to make good food choices today , although I did have a couple of Ling Ling's eggrolls (frozen) for lunch.I went to get Mr Diva more catfood today and I bought John Mayer -Heavier Things at Barnes and Noble.Without A Trace is on tonight , I really enjoy that show as well.Sometimes though since they switched nights I have forgotten it is on Sunday nights which pissed me off !!!!!!!!!! Lisa Jo when I was at Barnes and Noble today I saw two boxed sets of Without A Trace -The First Season and thought of you.I think the Second Season of Without A Trace is on sale right now on Amazon.com for $ 41.99 which is not bad.I am off work tommorow which will be weird being off on a Monday , but I can catch up watching some of my DVD's.Debbi said last week she will probably be working again this week down in San Mateo, so hopefully on one of my off days we can get together for lunch.One thing I have noticed about San Mateo that I do'nt like is that there are alot of rude damn people around here, at first I thought my imagination was running wild or I was too sensitive , but more and more I notice -how when I am crossing at the crosswalk to the Marina Plaza the cars do'nt stop to let me cross, they just keep on going even when the signal is green for me to cross-it disgusts me !!!!!!!! Also I told some of you before about the time I was eating lunch in the Food Court at the mall I work at and I had swallowed too big of a bite of my sandwich and started to choke how people sat there and stared at me like I was a side-show when I was choking -nobody offered to help me.I was just so saddened by that incident- it shows how uncaring and thoughtless so many people are nowadays - I wonder if a small child would have been choking if they all would have sat and stared as well.I guess I'll have to take a safety class to learn how to perform the heimlack manuever on myself, it does'nt seem that hard to learn.Wow this entry is getting long, anyway hope you all enjoy the rest of your Sunday, Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Saturday Thoughts

Hi friends, hope you all had a good Saturday.Mine was good, I went to breakfast with my mom this morning and then went shopping.I came home and worked out for an hour which felt good.I need to get back into shape and motivate myself to eat better and exercise at least 30 minutes a day, I can do 30 minutes, that is not a big deal.Sometimes I wish I had a personal trainer to give me momentum when I need it, But I need to do this for me, to be healthy -I want so bad to lose weight and get my figure back.I know I can do it, it wo'nt be easy but I will motivate myself to do it.I am not working much this coming week , but I can devote more time to working out then.I've had John Mayer's song Clarity in my head for the past two days-I like him and I think he has alot of talent.I went to the Vinyl Solution to look for his CD Heavier Things tonight , but I did'nt see it so I will try looking at Barnes and Noble tommorow.I was going to go see a movie tommorow too, maybe the new Beatrix Potter movie.I wish Jorja would be in a movie.I think she is so talented .She seems so awesome and down to earth like a perfect person to hang out with and go have a beer with.I saw a magazine article in Ok magazine a few months ago thanks to Leene who gave me a heads-up spotting the article and Jorja said "My dog is my best friend" Now how many actresses do you know that would say that? Jorja is so awesome !!!!!!!!! I hope someday I can meet her in Vegas hopefully.I hope you all have a good Sunday tommorow, is Aol still eating alerts ? I hope it is fixed now and not eating alerts, I Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Friday Thoughts -Are all of you getting my alerts ?????????????

Hi friends, first of all are all of you getting my journal alerts ???????? I am wondering because only two people commented on my journal entry from yesterday, usually I have more comments then two.I seem to be getting all my alerts -Aol is eating alerts again I guess from my journal.OMG today was so better then yesterday, my gorgeous Anthony was there teasing me today and making me laugh.I was happy to have him around today to make me laugh .He always make my days better.There is this strange lady who sometimes comes in my store that I saw today, I smiled when I saw her wondering what Lisa Jo would make of her, I will try to describe this lady the best I can, she is a small asian lady and she always wears just a grey T shirt as a dress like she is ready to go to the beach or swimming pool with a little thin string belt around the bottom of the shirt and she never wears pants either, I am surprised mall security has thrown her out for indecent exposure , now if that is'nt weird enough she wears plastic bags on her hands as gloves too. CSI was so good last night, What was up with Jorja Fox only being on for 5 minutes again, man I do'nt understand that at all, but I just loved when William Peterson looked at Jorja and said "I'll miss you " OMG Squee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was sooooooooooo sweet !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am only working one day next week , but I asked Anthony about that and he said for only one week it would be like that, Whew !!!!!!! That's a relief, I go stir -crazy when I'm not working and I start missing Anthony like crazy, I am so ready for the weekend, it's been a long week, hope you all have a great weekend, I Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO P.S. Eva did'nt come back in the store today to try and flirt with Anthony so I hope she sticks true to her words yesterday because she really pissed me off yesterday coming in my store trying to flirt with him when she knows I like Anthony, sigh........... well at least now she knows he has a girlfriend, she had better not forget that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ugh On Today

Hi friends, OMG I am so glad I survived today.It was not a fun day to say the least.Somebody called me at 6:00 in the freaking morning today and did'nt leave a message so my sleep was shot to hell for the rest of the morning.I was not happy about that phonecall.So the rest of my day snowballed down the hill from there.I came into work feeling like I had been hit by a mack truck.All day long I was bombared with stupid questions or returns, I had 11 returns today which was frustrating including a woman who was trying to return a bracelet she had gotten during our buy 2 get one free sale a few weeks ago. Gimme a break, trying to return a free item, ugh..........God it was a return nightmare for me all day , poor Anthony had to keep running back to my register for all the returns..I was just so over returns by the end of my shift tonight.My friend Debbi did come back today which was the only high point of my day besides my sweet Anthony of course so me and Debbi got to have lunch and shop for a while which I really needed.She said that yesterday she was looking for me in the upper part of the mall and I had been looking for her in the Food Court so our paths just must have gotten mixed -up.I kept gazing at Anthony when I felt like crying from frustration today, my so -called friend from Nordstrom Eva came by my store looking for Anthony, I was really disappointed in her, she knows how much I like him so I did'nt appreciate her coming in my store to flirt with him, maybe I am a little jealous because she has a better body then me but still.I mentioned to her that Anthony had proposed to his girlfriend a few weeks ago which is true too by the way.She was like 'Oh then I wo'nt come by anymore to see him" I felt a tiny smile cross my lips , That was the right thing to say, lol.I am so glad I am only working 6 hours tommorow, today was not fun to say the least.Oh and another thing because I am a friendly person I usually greet the customers when they walk into my store, well there were so many of them today when I said "Hi" they just stared at me and kept walking, it really annoyed me, people are so damn rude nowadays, the weird thing is the rude ones always end up paying at my register so I'm usually stuck having to see them twice which is irritating .I heard on the news tonight that the fued between the Donald and Rosie is still brewing , I am totally on Rosie's side for this whole thing , I think every time Donald opens up his big dumb mouth he only keeps proving what an arrogant nasty prick he is and I think he went a little far insulting Rosie.He was saying she is "ugly and fat" and stuff like that , Excuse me Donald but you are'nt exactly a male model yourself so look who is talking, I am so looking forward to the new CSI at 9:00 tonight and soaking in a hot bath, I hope tommorow is better, it has to be,Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Wednesday .........................

Hi friends, hope you all had a good Wednesday.My day was ok, the store was really quiet today.My sweet Anthony was back so I got to gaze at him when he took a phone call near my register.My Jorja necklace broke today when I was wearing it today so Robin let me get another one , but that one broke as well, I was surprised so she let me pick out a third one and it fell off and broke too WTH ??????The charm was ok , but the clasp on the chain kept falling apart.I could'nt believe my eyes before I went on my lunch break and Debbi appeared before me in the store, Unfortanately we did'nt get to have lunch together because before I went to lunch she told me to meet her in the Food Court , but when I went out 10 minutes later I could'nt find her anywhere.So with the 20 minutes I had left after spending 10 minutes looking for her I went back in the breakroom with my beef and broccoli and ate lunch alone.I felt sad here every day I missed Debbi so much  especially at lunch and there she was before my eyes for 5 beautiful minutes and where did she go ?????????????????? I felt really frustrated .I hope she calls tonight with an explanation as to where she was at lunch.But I faintly remember her saying she would still be in San Mateo tommorow too so maybe tommorow it will work out for us to hang out.Rain is coming back in tonight so I'll prepared for it, tommorow night at 9:00 on CBS is a new CSI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am beyond excited after two weeks of re-runs bring on the January TV , I saw an old friend from Pacifica at the bus stop after work tonight, he told me even though he was blind in one eye I still looked as "beautiful " as he remembered -God that was so sweet !!!!!!!! I miss my friends from Pacifica, Some of these people in my apartment complex are'nt very friendly and it sucks!!!!!!!! Hope you all have a good Thursday, Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

Tuesday Thoughts

Hi friends, hope you all had a good Tuesday.I had the maintenence guy come by this morning and fix my toilet which has been leaking water for the past 4 days.I am so happy now it is fixed as well as my hall light which burned out a few months ago, work was pretty boring today, almost all the Christmas stuff is gone by now and what is left is 75 % off.I got asked so many stupid questions today by some of the customers, there are a few customers I would like to ask which spaceship they came off of before they came in my store, this lady came up to me and was like "Can I ask you something? " I said "Sure" She was like 'Ok If I bought something in here with a giftcard and wanted to return it could I get cash back ?' I was like "Uh no I would have to give you another giftcard" She was like "Oh ok" and wandered off.Another lady today was returning boxes of Christmas cards and she did'nt have the receipt so I had to give her the price of what they were now which was for both boxes of cards $ 1.59- I mean come on , if they were a dollar fifty nine for both of them I would have freaking kept them myself.Anyhow I got the necklace today, it is very similar to alot of the necklaces Jorja Fox wears on CSI, it's a little silver pendant with a dove on it and it says 'Peace' on the back of it, very cute and simple.I have noticed Jorja Fox wears alot of cute little necklaces on CSI, I always tend to notice everything Jorja wears because she is my favorite actress ever !!!!!!!!!!!! I just love her !!!!!!!! My sweet Anthony will be back tommorow, I'm really glad, I have missed him these past 2 days, I hate when he is'nt at work, I need him around .By the way speaking of Anthony I had a dream about him last night, I had been raped by a guy in my dream and I was sitting down without crying (weird) telling Anthony about what happened.He was very sweet and kind  to me in my dream telling me if I needed him he was there for me and he even hugged me in the dream, OMG I hated waking up from that dream, He smells so good whenever he stands near me in the store, whatever the after shave is he uses it smells great !!!!!!!!!!! Anyhow hope you all have a good Wednesday tommorow, I read in the SF examiner today Brittany Spears rang in the New Year by passing out in Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, what a sight that must have been for the onlooker's although I would have loved to have been in Vegas for New Year's Eve. I ca'nt wait to go back to Las Vegas in April , oh please God let CSI be filming there then, my biggest dream is to meet Jorja Fox and William Peterson, Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO

The First Day of 2007

Hi friends, I rang in the first day of the new year by working today, lol.I was bored beyond belief at the store today although I did spy a necklace in the jewelry dept like Jorja Fox has so I will buy it tommorow, lol.Anthony was off today, I was sad about that , I do'nt think he will be back until Wednesday.I stayed up until 12:30 a.m. last night zoning out.Of course at work today I could'nt stop yawning, although it could have been from boredom, lol.I know alot of you did'nt have a good year in "2006' I hope "2007" is a better year for you all, My New Year's resolutions are diet, exercise, 45 minutes a day in the exercise room, snail-mail and keep in touch with my friends, and maybe find a part time job caring for animals on the side besides World Market.I was re-reading some of my old journal entries the other day, and my little journal will be a year old on Jan 10'th , lol.How time flies, wow, lol.I enjoyed the CSI marathon last night on Spike TV although I am really looking forward to the new CSI on this Thursday at 9:00 on CBS.I am dying to know what the present is that Grissom sends Sara, anyone want to guess ?????? I ca'nt wait to find out, lol.Back at work for me tommorow, I'll try not to pass out from boredom, lol.Have a good Tuesday everyone, Love You All and Hugs Lisa XO
