<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>I absolutely adored Marilyn</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>in this fantasy role!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>It is a small piece</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>in the Seven Year Itch.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>LOL @ she is such a comedian.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>The job that I applied for</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>this morning</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>is on the other side of the Valley.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>I have to say</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>that I believe the interview went well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>The reason why I say this</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>is because</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>I was offered a second interview</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>on the same day</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>with the higher up...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>and I caught them gesturing</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>to each other</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>when they thought </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>I wasn't looking...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>I think the second interview</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>went well, too, </FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>because</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>he sent me over to his secretary</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>who had me fill out forms</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>for the criminal background check</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>and the driver's license check.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>The reason why I say that</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>is because the girl who interviewed</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>before me just walked out the door...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>Fortunately,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT size=5><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633>all of the skeletons in my closet</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>have nothing to do with</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>a security clearance.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>LOL</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>If I get the job,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>I will have to relocate</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>to the other side of the Valley.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>I have no idea how that would happen </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>but the key is</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>to get the job first!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>On the way back,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#996633><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=5>I </FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=5>wanted to check out the area </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>where Mother lives,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>but just as Mother said,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>the road is closed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>I tried to go through the back roads,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>but they are still full of water</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>from Hurricane Dolly</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>and the rains from Hurricane Ike.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>I would have thought the roads</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>would be dry by now...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>I am still puzzled</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>as to how she gets here.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>FEMA went away last month.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>I think they turned her down.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>Makes me upset</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>because her home is full of mold</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>and she really needs the help.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>Fingers crossed on my finding a job soon.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>I am in such great need</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>and I would like to be able to help </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>Mother to build another house.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>It is so hard to be patient sometimes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#996633 size=5>I keep telling myself that</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>I love Autumn...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>but alas, the only </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>"changing of the leaves" Autumn I see </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>is in picture books</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>or on my tags! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>I can hardly wait</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>for the weather to get crisp.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>I am so excited</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>to be on the same page as Fly Lady this week!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>Well, in the same Zone, anyway...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>This week, we are in the Bedroom...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>my catch-all! Yikes! LOL...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>The apartments I lived in before</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>had lots of storage space...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>which is important,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>especially because</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>I don't have bedroom furniture</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>to put my things in...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>I wish it was the same in this apartment...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>but it's not...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>I have decided to move my bed to the </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>commanding side of the room.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>That means that my headboard </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>will be in the South...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>& I will be facing North.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>I wonder if that is bad Feng Shui...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>Mother never liked the headboard on the South.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>She always sleeps with her head at the North.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>I like my headboard on the West</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>because I like to wake up</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>towards the Sun</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>which comes up in the East...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>The good thing about</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>moving my headboard to the South</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>is that it will be against a wall</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>which is good Feng Shui</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>& there will be more room</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>on the North wall</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>where I would like to place</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>a chair</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>& turn it into a</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>little "comfort" corner</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>for reading, meditating</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>& listening to music...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>When I was at Wal-Mart,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>I saw a 3-drawer chest of drawers</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>for $50.00.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>It is in a box that is small enough</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>to fit into my car (very important),</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>Bringing it up the stairs</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>will be tricky</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>because the box is heavy,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>so I would have to open the box</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>& separate the pieces</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>to bring it up the stairs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>The box says it is easy to assemble.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>The drawers are not fancy</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>but it would be nice to have a place</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>to store my things...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>Oh, yes! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>It is on my Wish list...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Renaissance color=#ffc184 size=6>xx</FONT></DIV></DIV></FONT></DIV></DIV>

<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>I don't usually run errands on Monday</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>but I had to pay the light bill</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>before they turn my lights off</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>and I had to get some toilet paper and light bulbs...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>When I was standing in line to pay my bill,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>a woman dropped a penny on the floor.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>Those of you who know me</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>know that a penny is very precious to me...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>Normally, I would have told her</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>that she dropped a penny on the floor</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>and she would have picked it up herself</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>or let it go...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>but this time,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>I sacrificed bending down</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#c1c1ff><FONT size=5><FONT face="Doodle Journal">to pick </FONT><FONT face="Doodle Journal">it up for her,</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>which you may know is a hard thing </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>for me to do</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>because of my back problems...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>... but ah! @ my little random act of kindness!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>When I was at Wal-Mart,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>it was as if I was in a totally unknown store.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>because they didn't just move one department around...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>They moved the entire floor around!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>Grr @ trying to find things...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>especially because they weren't finished</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>and the signs were in the wrong places!!!</FONT></DIV><FONT face="Doodle Journal">
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>A man came up to me</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#c1c1ff><FONT size=5><FONT face="Doodle Journal">to ask me where he could find </FONT><FONT face="Doodle Journal">a pen </FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>that has all of the colors in one.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>I don't work at Wal-Mart,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>but I saw the cards </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#c1c1ff><FONT size=5><FONT face="Doodle Journal">so </FONT><FONT face="Doodle Journal">we went to look for the pen.</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>I found him the very last pen they had!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>LOL @ he said he never would have found it</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>and that the people from Wal-Mart</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>were not very helpful!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#c1c1ff size=5>He said that women are like pens~</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#c1c1ff size=5>Some only write in one color,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#c1c1ff size=5>but I am the kind of woman who </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#c1c1ff size=5>has all the colors!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#c1c1ff size=5>LOL @ that was cute.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>Then, a woman approached me </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>to ask me where the toilets were</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>so I gave her directions to get there.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#c1c1ff><FONT size=5><FONT face="Doodle Journal">OMG @ </FONT><FONT face="Doodle Journal">do all people think </FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#c1c1ff><FONT size=5><FONT face="Doodle Journal">I work </FONT><FONT face="Doodle Journal">at Wal-Mart? LOL</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>So the man was surprised</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>that the woman had asked me</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>where the toilets were,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>even though I don't work there. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>He said I have the kind of personality</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>that just naturally attracts people...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#c1c1ff size=5>men and women...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>and makes them feel comfortable.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Doodle Journal" color=#c1c1ff size=5>What a nice compliment!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#c1c1ff size=5>So I made three </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#c1c1ff size=5>random acts of kindness </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#c1c1ff size=5>in one day! Yay! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#c1c1ff size=5>I want to always be a blessing</FONT></DIV>

<DIV align=center><FONT face=Mistral color=#c0c0c0 size=5>As I lay there sleeping, </FONT></DIV>

<DIV align=center><FONT face=Mistral color=#c0c0c0 size=5>I could feel her watching over me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Mistral color=#c0c0c0 size=5>Her gaze was so intense</FONT></DIV>

<DIV align=center><FONT face=Mistral color=#c0c0c0 size=5>The alarm went off</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Mistral color=#c0c0c0 size=5>but she did not leave. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>I tried to animate it,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>has not made a sound </FONT><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>all week, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>but on Saturday, </FONT><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>I got three phone calls! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>Is that what I pay my phone bill for?! LOL</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center> </DIV>
<DIV align=center>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>The first </FONT><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>phone call was from my aunt.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>(the one everyone says I look like)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>Actually, I think she is my only living aunt now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>She says she was </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>diagnosed with breast cancer in June.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>Fortunately, they caught it in time</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>& didn't have to remove her breast.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>She says she has two more treatments to go</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>& then, she will be on a pill</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>for five years...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>I have not heard from my aunt</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>since I lived at my house</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>in Corpus Christi...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>OMG @ that was almost</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>20 years ago...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>I wonder how she got my number.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>Wish I could hug her</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>but she lives in Michigan.</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV align=center> </DIV>
<DIV align=center> </DIV>
<DIV align=center>The second phone call was from</DIV>
<DIV align=center>the birthday girl.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>My daughter turned 30 on Saturday.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>My grandson turned 3 </FONT><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>on Thursday</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>so she threw him </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>a birthday party at the park.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>When I spoke to her on the phone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>Guy told her that he wanted</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>to talk to Nana.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>I was in shock at how clear</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>his words are!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>He told me all about his party.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>He sounded so excited & so happy!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>He said he ate cake,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4> that he rode the train,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>& that he got a lot of little box cars.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>OMG @ </FONT><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>we actually held a conversation!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>Oh @ how they grow up so fast...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>Wish I could have been there</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>but we were unable to go.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>Sighhh...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>The last call came after 10 p.m.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>so I thought it was Daniel but</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>it was from my prodigal daughter. <<LOL</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>She recently moved to Austin</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>and they moved right across the street</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>from where her husband works</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>so he can just walk across the street</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>to get to work!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff9900 size=4>Wow! Awesome!</FONT></DIV>

<P align=center><FONT face=Arial color=#ccccff size=4>This tag takes me back to an old entry that won some recognition by AOL... I am disappointed that this year my journal was not nominated for anything at all... Creating tags has helped me to deal with the stress of being without a job for over a year, but I really should focus more on my writing, because I would really like to write and illustrate a book someday.... This is the 2007 entry...</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2><A href="http://journals.aol.com/winivere2002/TheGlassBox/entries/2007/04/28/behind-the-smile/1466">http://journals.aol.com/winivere2002/TheGlassBox/entries/2007/04/28/behind-the-smile/1466</A></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=5><FONT color=#ffccff>She was a poet on a street corner, trying to recite to a crowd pulling at her clothes. <FONT size=2>~Arthur Miller/ playwright & ex-husband of Marilyn Monroe</FONT></FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial color=#ccccff size=5>Sweet Norma Jeane, always smiling, always hiding her sadness behind the mask of Marilyn Monroe...</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial color=#ccccff size=4>It seems impossible that such a beautiful woman could be so unhappy in her private life. It doesn't seem possible that the image the world had of her never allowed the public to see the intelligent woman that she was... the woman who loved to read and write poems.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial color=#ccccff size=4>Marilyn's career took off so quickly that she never took the time to work on her problems until the latter years of her life. Perhaps if she had started earlier, she would have had more of a chance, and she would have been stronger for it. Many people think she committed suicide, but I think she was murdered, because she knew too much. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial><FONT color=#ccccff><FONT size=4>When I was a child, I wanted to be an artist, but the world took me in the opposite direction... </FONT><FONT size=4>I remember working in an office during the day, but at night, I was a volunteer for an organization called "Crisis Intervention." </FONT></FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial><FONT color=#ccccff size=4>Counseling came very natural to me, and I was very good at it. Many people think that counseling is about giving advice, but if you are giving someone advice, you are not counseling. You are giving advice, and you cannot do that in counseling. It became very clear to me that I had found my life's calling, but it was also the beginning of my journey of self-discovery, a kind of self-therapy and knowledge that helped me to work through so much anger and pain from my childhood of abuse, sexual abuse, and abandonment. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial color=#ccccff size=4>I have been very fortunate to have lived my life alone, because life has taught me many hard and difficult lessons that I probably never would have learned otherwise. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial color=#ccccff size=4>Like Marilyn, I pour myself into my work to compensate for the love that I have never had from my mother or from a man. I have had many jobs since those days at "Crisis Intervention." I thank my grandfather for teaching me the power of work, for it is my work that sustains me, no matter how difficult or stressful. I thank God for my work and for the many people who have come into my life with a cry for help for their problems. Helping others has always helped me to take my worries off of myself.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial color=#ccccff size=4>But living in the Valley has been like rolling off a cliff. Yes, I feel that I am making a difference where God has planted me, but my heart cries to return to Corpus Christi where I can be closer to my children and far away from the criticism of a mother who will never love me or accept me... and my body cries to be healthy and fit. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=5><FONT face=Arial><FONT color=#ffccff>Being beautiful can be just as lonely and just as painful as being ugly and fat. <FONT size=2>~ Winivere</FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial color=#ffcccc size=4>So sorry if this entry is sad. I hope it's sadness doesn't take away from the beauty of the tag... Remember that the entry was written in April of last year... My relationship with Mother is better now & she has finally said that she loves me!</FONT></P></DIV>

<DIV align=center><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ffcc99 size=4>was on <FONT color=#ff9900 size=5>Monday</FONT>!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>I got a lot of things done that day</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>and I had <FONT color=#66cccc size=6>a good hair day</FONT>! LOL</FONT></DIV>

<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>about the tags that I made this week.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5><FONT color=#ff9900><FONT size=6>It is so nice</FONT> </FONT><FONT color=#ff9900 size=6>when people compliment your work,</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>especially because </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5><FONT color=#ffcc66 size=6>I am not even a PSP toddler yet</FONT>, (lol)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>and everything I make is still thru </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5><FONT color=#cc33cc size=7>trial and error</FONT>! LOL </FONT></DIV>

<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5><FONT color=#ff0000>Thank you so much for the </FONT><FONT color=#ff0000 size=6>encouragement!</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#cc0000 size=6>Makes me happy!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>The rest of the week, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>I have been struggling at <FONT color=#33cc00>looking for work</FONT>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>I guess <FONT color=#ffcc66><FONT size=6>some weeks it is just easier</FONT> </FONT>than others.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>But I got a phone call for <FONT color=#ff9900 size=6>an interview next week</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#cc0000 size=5>for a job that I applied for on or about January...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5><FONT color=#ffcc66 size=7>What month is it?</FONT> lol </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>I love multi-grain bread</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>or jalapeno garlic cheese bread </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>with a good salad...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>but it is so expensive, so...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>in trying to save money, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#ffcc99><FONT size=5><FONT face=HobbyHorse>I have been making <FONT color=#66cccc size=6>tortillas </FONT>i</FONT><FONT face=HobbyHorse>nstead. </FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><STRONG><FONT color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>I have discovered that <FONT color=#ff6666>I can eat a lot </FONT>of </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>store bought corn tortillas, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>but <FONT color=#ff9900 size=6>they do not fill me up</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>unless if they are lots of enchiladas or beef tacos.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>When I make flour tortillas,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5><FONT color=#ffcc33>I can feel full </FONT>with a taco made with only one tortilla</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>or with a meal using only one tortilla.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>Home made tortillas taste better and cost less </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>that buying store bought flour tortillas. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ff9900 size=6>Also, after you've made your batch,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ff9900 size=6>all you have to do is fill it with food</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#ff9900><FONT size=6><FONT face=HobbyHorse>and fold it loosely </FONT><FONT face=HobbyHorse>in a paper towel </FONT><FONT face=HobbyHorse>to heat it up</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ff9900 size=6>and this saves on washing dishes! lol </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>The problem is that <FONT color=#ff9999 size=6>Mother</FONT> showed up this week</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>and <FONT color=#ffcc66>I gave her the tortillas I made</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>so now I have to make more. lol </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>She is still having problems from the flooding.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#cc9933 size=6>I don't think FEMA wants to help her</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#cc9933 size=6>because she lives in humble conditions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ff9900 size=7>Shocking; isn't it?!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>I feel bad that I don't have a job</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>so that I can help her.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#66cccc size=5>I have been feeling a little down</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#66cccc size=5>because I haven't found a job yet...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5><FONT color=#ff6666><FONT size=6>I thank God</FONT> </FONT>for taking care of me for the past year,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>and I <FONT color=#ffcc66 size=6>trust</FONT> Him to continue to do so,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>but <FONT color=#33ff33>a human can't help but worry </FONT>sometimes!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>My apartment continues to be in CHAOS!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT size=5><FONT color=#cc0000><FONT face=HobbyHorse>Before I found </FONT><FONT face=HobbyHorse>FLY Lady,</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#cc0000 size=5>I had been working on a book idea </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#cc0000 size=5>to get myself organized.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>That idea is still in my head</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>but it hasn't been perfected yet...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>as you can tell by continued complaints</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>in My Friday Dish! lol </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>I decided to try FLY Lady's way </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>to see if I could match it to my ideas...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>but I guess <FONT color=#cc9933 size=6>my mind continues to rebel</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5><FONT color=#cc6600>because I want to make it my own plan</FONT>, so...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>I am going to change things up a bit </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>to match with my original ideas</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>so it will be easier to remember </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>what to do </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>on what day!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>According to FLY Lady, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>weekends are your days off from Housekeeping</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>to <FONT color=#cc33cc>enjoy time with your family</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>and to <FONT color=#ffcc66 size=7>Renew Your Spirit</FONT>...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>but this weekend,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5>I will have to focus on some serious</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ff6666 size=7>Crisis Cleaning </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ffcc99 size=5><FONT color=#ff6666 size=7>and decluttering boogie</FONT>! </FONT></DIV>

<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse><FONT color=#ff9900 size=6>My creations are snaggable</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ff9900 size=5>Please don't snag this one!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face=HobbyHorse color=#ff9900 size=5>and that's usually because</FONT></DIV>
