Having a quiet evening at home after a busy day. Just had hot chocolate and pumpkin cheesecake delivered to me. Which I might say the cheese cake was an invention of Joy's and it is quite good. She has come upon something good. Plus the hot chocolate hits the spot since it is a cool night out and we have the window open.
The kids had the cheese cake and Red Velvet Chocolate Milk. Guess it is a holiday flavor for the season.

Watching High Drama on the Oil Rig
The Author of this post is Alva Barrera
You have heard of gold, but do you know what black gold is? If you took a moment to think about it, you could probably figure it out. Here's a hint: we use it for almost everything. Most people think it's just used for cars and lawn mowers, but that's not the case at all. Black gold, which is oil, can be found in many products in your home. The point here is that oil is very important. This means the stakes are extremely high when people are drilling for oil. And when stakes are high, tensions will rise. This is what the show Black Gold is all about. But it's not really about the big boys risking millions of dollars. They might be shown from time to time, but this show is about the roughnecks. These are the guys who work for close to nothing and risk their lives daily. If one mistake is made, someone may die. Trips to the emergency room are frequent.
The best part about the show is the drama that takes place on the rig. These guys are battling to keep their jobs. They know that striking oil could mean job security and more money. They also know that failure to strike oil might mean the loss of a job and nowhere to go. This leads to high drama, and sometimes even fisticuffs. Since I love drama as long as I'm not involved in it, I'm sure to watch Black Gold on Free on Demand on satellite tv from tvbydirect whenever I get the chance.
New things
I just set up an App so that I can blog from my IPod. I sure hope I never need to use this App to tell my life story. Cause it could take a while. But I can get the job done which is a good thing to know for future reference.

Let em eat cake
Tomorrow is the pancake breakfast at my grandson's school to raise money for the school band. To say he is wired up and all excited about it would be a vast understatement. This is his first year in a school band. He is playing the trumpet this year. So tomorrow morning we will be the partakers of pancakes, sausage, orange juice and coffee. So just hope the pancake maker really knows how to make a good pancake cause I am ready to eat a bunch.

Going to the theatre is an entertaining activity that can last an entire evening. Finding a fellow theatre buff, I need to look no further than the person with whom I reside. My husband and I find that planning the evening out is just as much fun as actually going. We usually begin planning the show in advance.
The Theatre District in New York City can fulfill most needs with the variety of offerings. We prefer the shows filled with mystery, such as Phantom of the Opera, or shows with magnificent color and music, like The Lion King.
Upon deciding on a show, we can now look forward to planning dinner. We would much rather eat before the show than after. Where there is such a vast variety of restaurants to choose from we decide on the type of cuisine first. Over pre-dinner cocktails at home, we usually opt for Italian, Chinese or an all American steakhouse.
If we are feeling particularly adventurous, we may just throw in limosine service, as yet, another way to feel upscale. At last we are ready for the evening. All important decisions have been made. One last ritual needs tending as we head out. Turn off the lights and set the home security alarm from securitychoice.com!

I have good news.....
I have grown to hate the statement Good News. Because you know most of the time it is going to be followed by I also have Bad News too. Lately the bad news seems to outweigh the good news. I really wish just once we could have just some Good News. We thought this week that our time had come but yep that is right the Bad News Bomb was dropped on us big time. I just don't know if we are going to get out from under this bad news bomb this time. If we don't then I have no idea what we are going to do.

Strike Three
I remember as a kid my Dad used to take us to St. Louis several times during baseball season to watch the St. Louis Cardinals pay ball. There was no huge Busch Stadium there at that time but you would have never known it the way our family acted. It is one of the best memories I have of my childhood. It was one of the few things my family did together as a family. The one place I would have loved to have seen a game played was Wrigley Field we never made it there but I know we would have had a great time if we had. I do believe that before my sisters and I were born that you can bet my Dad made it to several of the ball parks. For some reason my Dad just had a love for baseball. I do know that he would love the new arenas such as the brand new Amway Arena. I have not been there myself but have friends who went to the opening and were able to tour it and they say it is just awesome to say the least. Daddy did say something once about seeing a great game at Yankee Stadium. My girls did go see Camden Yard once well ok just from the outside but they do have pictures to prove there were there.
I think of all of the baseball stories I remember from my Dad was before my sisters and I were on the scene and he and Mother went to a ball game and there was a foul ball which came in their direction. But before my parents could even react to it the ball hit the lady in the head in front of my Mother and actually knocked her out. The the ball bounced back and landed right in my Mothers lap. The poor lady was there in her seat out like a light and her husband was standing over her and was fighting with my Mom for the stupid baseball. Well my Mother won that fight because I saw that baseball all of my childhood and heard the story a thousand times at least. So all I have to say about that is Take Me Out to the Ballgame Take me out to the Field.

Day by day
I have decided that I will no longer worry about what is going to happen to me tomorrow or the tomorrow after that or for that fact any of my tomorrows. I have to take care of today and do what is necessary for today. I have always been the type of individual who tries to take care of my life may days, weeks, months and yes even years ahead. I don't want to do that anymore. I know they say you can't teach old dogs new tricks but this "old dog" is going to try to teach herself some new tricks.
I know I still need to make plans and work for things for the future but to sit and worry about them every day is just not doing me any good and it is not accomplishing anything at all. So her it is the new leaf I am turning over. This is hopefully the new me. I will see just how long this last before I find myself worrying about tomorrow. But hopefully when that happens I will be able to bring myself back to reality and take care of today.

Working
Just got home from work a little while ago. I have to be back there at 5:45 AM I hate going in that early but it is nice when you get off earlier in the day. Guess it is the price you pay for needing to work. For the most part I work with a pretty good bunch of people as with any job there is the occasional jerk. That pretty much goes with working.
At my age I can truly say I have worked more than half of my life. I thought by this time in my life I would not be working any but the way things are guess you just have to do what you have to do. Work is one of those things I just have to do.
