Christmas Eve

We have 2 days off work this week for the Christmas holidays.....I'm really looking forward to doing absolutely nothing! Well,I will be cooking dinner and doing laundry...but not too much else!! Hope that everyone enjoys themselves!!

Is It CHRISTMAS yet?????

For some reason,I am NOT in the Holiday "spirit" this year!! It does not feel like Christmas to me---I'm used to SNOW on the ground,and here in So. NJ,we have no snow yet!! It's really ODD....

I turned my little Christmas tree on and listened to Holiday music,but the feeling just didn't last! I miss my family back in Upstate NY....At least me & the Hubby will be together!! Maybe it'll feel like Christmas after all....

Goodbye,Bettie.....

Bettie Page died this week...She was 85 years old,but eternally young and vibrant! I don't know of anyone who did NOT like her....She was THAT beautiful!! She really blazed the trail for women in amateur modelling. She fell on some hard times and even "disappeared"!! I can't remember the first time I ever saw a photo of her,but I did look at a lot of her movies online. I think she is like a "bookmark" of sorts for that era---The innocence is still there in her photos--Even the bondage ones!! We'll always remember you,Bettie!!!!

It Could Happen....

Not too bad of a day today.....But a guy from the office @ work had a nervous breakdown this morning!! AT work!!! What a sad thing to happen--Esp. @ this time of year! My husband & I were talking about it on the drive home.SO much stress...Maybe this is a WAKEUP call for all of us!?!!

Maybe these things happen to remind us to slow down sometimes....Either that or to ask for help and not be so stubborn! I still keep thinking about the whole situation.....

I'll Take Some Of That.....

My sis put a photo on her blog of Randy Mantooth saying how she liked him when she was younger,and it got me thinking about who I used to sigh over....And I can tell you that the answer is.......Jean-Claude VanDamme!!! That man was HOT,no doubt about it!!! What's not to love???? That smile.....That voice.....TheBOD...Really!!! He's been through some tough times,but I think he still looks great!!

A New Day....

Still trying to be more positive about life--It's interesting how people are reacting.I feel almost like I'm conducting an experiment or something! Do I feel better??? Hard to say--But I notice that people are respecting me more--Looking to ME for answers now,whereas before they just seemed to ignore me!

Books I'm reading now: Loise Hay's "You Can Heal Your Life" and I'm also re-reading "The Dillinger Days" by John Toland (One of my favorite books of all time!)--Yep,I read a LOT of different books!

I'm POSITIVE!!!

I've been reading a lot of self-help type books lately--And trying to be more positive about life and how I view things. I'm not a very outgoing person,so I'm taking small steps every day. I just really value my quiet time too much! Does that sound selfish??? Positive does bring positive--I notice how differently people react towards me when I put out the effort to laugh more and smile....(But I CRAVE being alone!!) I'm TRYING!!!!!
