Being An Adult?

I just got finished doing what I call "paperwork". Didn't care too much for it which is ironic because that is kind of the bulk of the kind of work that I do. Let's face it - I'm talking about bills!

Sometimes I wish I could go back to my childhood because back then I didn't know that such things existed!

Radio Station?

Marsha keeps asking me about my radio station. I did have one but for right now it's down! It's all a part of a website called Live365.com. Basically what it is is a place where you can have your own radio station! You can put music on it and you can put your voice on it and if you have a powerful computer you can even broadcast live! There are a lot of people that have radio stations on this website and some of them do broadcast live. There are all different kinds of radio stations - everything from all types of music to talk and interview shows. Basically how it works is first (of course) you have to sign up for it and download their software (to help you upload the music to their website). There is a fee of (minimally) @$50 every six months. The more popular your station is the higher the fee. It may seem complicated but if you want to have your own radio station this is about the most simplest way to do it. Basically what I did was have music in mp3 format and uploaded it to my radio station. Once its confirmed that the upload was successful that means that your music is on your programming. When you upload more music you can decide what order you want the music to be in. Now as for my voice basically what I did was record my voice to my computer using the simple voice recording program. Once that is done I can add effects or even music in the back ground with a little editing. And then I transfer it the same way that I would with the music. And there you have it - instant radio station! There is even a message board at the website where you can ask your questions and get answers and read posts from others that are new at it.

The site is http://www.live365.com

Powell Funeral Home!

This is the funeral home that did my mother's service. I chose them because they were the same funeral home that did my father's service more than 20 years ago! Imagine using the same funeral home without even talking to them in 20 years (in fact I didn't talk to them those 20 years ago because I was quite young and quite out of it at the time of my father's funeral).

Well as it turns out I had NOTHING to worry about because my mother's funeral service was absolutely beautiful! The service (including the music) was just like a inspirational church service and that includes the sermonizing by the pastor who presided over the funeral.

Even though my mother's funeral was a few months ago I kept saying to myself (and to one of the staff members) that I was going to mention them in my blog. Of course I hadn't gotten around to it until now mostly because I was down there today and I was telling them how memorable my mother's funeral was and that made me remember about how I said that I was going to mention them.

I'm going to put their full information on my blog. Talking about a funeral home might seem creepy to some but this one did an excellent job!

I finally saw Lashawna!

It was on a Saturday and I finally got a chance to talk to her!  She used to taunt me when I was working at the Shoprite (but in a good way!)  But since she's at another store its Thomasina that taunts me now! (-: 

Marsha is more nicer

and Edwina is just out to get me!

A Headache From Shopping?

I can't believe that I actually got a headache from shopping about a month ago!  I just remembered it while I was looking at posts on my blog.  At the time maybe it was because of all the people that happened to be in the store that day.  But someone did suggest that maybe it was because I was under a lot of stress?  Well, after I got home I took some aspirin and I feel a whole lot better!  Of course I have been shopping since then (gotta eat!) and it hasn't happened since.

It's been a few days since I posted.....

Things are going ok for now. It is as cold as heck outside and its very windy. I'll keep trying to update my blog as much as possible but you know sometimes I even forget that I have one. I would love it if my brother had one and he's just as computer literate as I am so I hope he gets one soon!

To everybody else "Hey!"

It's been a while since I have posted.....

A LOT of things have been going on!  Everyone has been so nice and I'm just taking things one day at a time.  It's very hard when you lose a loved one - especially when they are your family!

I just wanted to say "Thank You" to everyone!

Talked with my brother again today

We chatted for awhile and I told him how mother is doing better.  He, himself is recovering from a stroke as well.  His speech isn't 100% but we understand each other very well.  He told me that he was watching a gospel ministry show on TV which is very surprising to me because he never seemed the religious type before so I thought it kind of strange.

It was good talking to him today.

Well I finally got in contact with my brother!

Isn't that the way!  We call each other all the time but when something really happens it doesn't work out that way!  How did I finally get him?  I wrote him a letter!  It took about 7 days for him to get it but once he called me I knew right away that he got the letter.  It was just a short note that I wrote him about our mother having a stroke but once he got the letter he sprung into action!  Now I have his number and I tested it a few times just to be sure!

OK! Mom thinks the cat is gay!

The cat is trying to crawl into her lap and its kind of awkward because she has to get settled by turning herself around and apparently Mom doesn't like the cat trying to do this!  I'm trying to tell her that the cat is trying to cozy up to her but she just thinks the cat is trying to rub up against her.

No email from my brother yet....

I checked my inbox yesterday and didn't get any new email from my brother. Usually after a while I'll get an email from him but the last one was back in August. I talk to him on the phone but sending email back and forth is a lot cheaper - but so far nothing......

Groups about cashiers

Even though I don't work at the Shoprite anymore the mailing lists that are online still fascinate me so. I'm trying to subscribe to 2 of them but am having problems!

Mom Has A Cold!

She's sneezing and her eyes are watery and she just sneezed three times (now four times) in a row. She doesn't like it and she doesn't like feeling this way and she's sure that the cat had something to do with it!

It feels humid today...

It could just be me but it feels so humid today! It was supposed to rain but so far its just been cloudy but its the humidity that feels so high!

Mom is doing fine. She's watching TV as usual and fighting with the cat.

When I tell her that it feels humid she just thinks that I'm crazy - so what else is new!

Hello!

Well! I have started a blog! Mostly its for my brother because he seems to have a hard time keeping an email address! So I will be posting here to let him know how things are going.
