I just read a headline on Yahoo...it said, "cops shoot man dead at wrong address"  I clicked on the video to hear what happened horrified by this mistake, feeling so terrible for this loss for this mans family.

The video EXPLAINS, the man that was shot opened the door and pointed a gun at the officers.
You won't see that explanation in the headline.

I can see now why this man was shot. 

This is one thing wrong with headlines, you really need to listen to the video or read the story before you come to any conclusions.  I will say a prayer for the man that died and the officer that shot him.

I have learned in my life..I know I am getting older.  Everyone needs prayer not only the victims.

A friend told me about a teen who was killed by a drunk driver.  She lives in a very small town, one where everyone knows everyone etc...well, she was furious at the drunk driver (as I am too), but I said to her what about the family of the drunk driver?  They have to constantly live with this persons mistake.  Before we start judging situations or people, get the facts and always remember the "other" people involved. 

What is a blog? 

I asked this question many times and it was a friend, Robin, who introduced me to this blog site.  I love it.

I can write about anything, talk about nothing and  just go on and on...Loving this..

Have a great day!

I am FREEEEE....I had my last day of work yesterday.  OH, I am not retired or anything like that, but I  quit a job I was not happy with. 

I am a very nice, easy going, lovable, peaceful person.  I am very easy to work with and I do NO CONFRONTATION with anyone.  Well, this job I was challenged, not sure if that is the right word...

I worked with a lady who thought she was the owner of the company and my boss.  She was not either one of those.  The day she told me I was "dumb" and would never be able to do her job and she added, she told the boss that very same thing, I was ready to walk out...I didn't.  I put my two weeks notice in and left yesterday.  I feel really good about my decision.   Taking 3 weeks off before I start searching for another job. 

My husband is turning 50 next month.  We are celebrating his birthday early this year with his family in another state.  I get to make the birthday cake.

In April, I enrolled in a cake decorating class.  I have always wanted to do this.  Well, I lasted 2 classes.  I didn't even stay long enough to learn to make the rose.  But, I did learn a few things, I have all of my decorating devices and I have been practicing.

So, here is my dilemma...what kind of cake should I make for my husband?  Should it have a theme?
What kind of theme?  There will be kids there so the "adult" cake themes are pretty much out of the
picture.  My husband likes any kind of sport, he plays golf, he reads, he likes to stay home and work on the computer...Maybe that is it..a computer cake with a blog on it...LOL 

I will keep looking for cake ideas.  Happy early Birthday to my husband. 

I have another thought for the day....Did anyone see the man who paid off his mortgage with 63,000.00 pennies?  Well, he did.  The bank had to take the money as it is cash and "real"  LOL

I just saw a penny on the sidewalk and decided to start saving.  My mortgage balance is waaayyyy over his, but...maybe I can save at least 63,000.00 pennies... :)  I will keep you all updated on my progress.. 

Not always Rainbows and Roses....When I was thinking about this title I wasn't very happy.  I am still struggling with some issues.  I am trying to get rid of some negative things in my life.  I have started  with my job.

  I have been at this job for one year.  I don't like one of the people I work with, and not sure this company is a very stable one.  I gave my two weeks notice, placed my resume on a website and within 15 minutes received a call from an employer.  I was thrilled.  I had a phone interview, and then it happened, yep, a family member extremely ill and chances of living through Christmas are very slim.  So, I had to decide, job or a trip to another state for the last chance to visit with this family member?  I chose family.  What a powerful statement.  I CHOSE FAMILY. 

Family is what we have when the world seems so bad.  Family is always there when we need to cry or just need a laugh.  Family is what I will choose all the time, everytime. 

I am leaving my job this week.  I am thrilled.  I am taking the one step to getting rid of negative
issues in my life.
