"Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it
is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of
course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want
to escape from these things." ~T. S. Eliot

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you
did, but people will NEVER forget how you make them feel ~ Maya Angelou

I've always been drawn to things that display class, glamour, and beauty

Dad's Birthday

We went to Maggiano last sunday for my dad's birthday and Mom and Dad's anniversary. What a meal, we had the Family Buffet and BOY was it good! Everything was great. If you are ever in Tampa at the Westshore Mall, you should try this place. Can't say enough about it. Here are some picture from the birthday dinner with my dad.

valentine

Well valentine has come and gone, now were waiting for the green beer night, Right!!! ha.
My grandson should be making his apperance by then, hopefully, cause Jennifer is very much ready for this to be over.
Well last night didn't go very well for Muah! like i was really looking forward to my husband making dinner for us and watching "Shall we Dance". B U T that didn't happen..Why you are probley asking right now...well.... He was actually working on my dad's truck and it took him longer than what it should have and he didn't get home til almost 9 pm, so he was dirty for one, and the man had just worked 11 days straight so i was not upset just disappointed because all of you who knows my husband..he don't cook but when he does, he really is a good cook. So maybe next year! Ha.
Today started out I was only delivering a package to one of our clients and then go to the office to finish up on somethings I started yesterday. Well like last night it didn't go to well, what is up with me, :( I started out around 9:15 AM to go to Hudson to deliver a package but for some reason when I mapped quested it, it didn't give me the correct route! I was going down what was a dirt road, which in our area of florida is not a usual route, then i ended up what looked like someones SANDY driveway but it kept going and going and going so finally I said to myself (SELF) I think were lost, so I stopped and called the client and she said (honey your going the wrong way, there is no sandy driveway, HAHA!!! ) so I turned the truck around in a very narrow road way and made my way back out the the main road..then she guided me in.
As she was telling me to come in the gate but lock the gate behind me because we have horses and dogs and some kind of Ostridge looking thing that looked EVIL, I asked her if she could just meet me at the gate...Am I glad she did, about 6-9 dogs come bouncing down the driveway, and these Ostridge things started walking towards us as we were standing there and SHE was afraid of them too cause she shooed me to the other side of the fence along with her following me. It was hillarious!!! She wanted MUAH to walk up the driveway with that!!!!NO WAY, HORSES SCARE ME ENOUGH. So Got my package delivered then I'm on my way back to the office about 2 hours later, so I called Carrie to let her know about my adventure and she laughed at me...haha...So then when I got to the office had to deliver another payroll so I did nothing but drive today and I'm really really tired...whew!!!! Now I'm going to go and relax before dinner.
So there is my day, let me know how your day went.

100th Day of School

Wow it's been awhile since i've blogged, but i've been busy with catching up with my sister that just got back from Oregon, and now is on a Ski Vacation. Getting ready for Jennifers Baby Shower so I've been busy. But last friday was Ryleigh's 100th day of school and she had to count out 100 things and put them in a bag and take to school to share, we got the project done a couple of nights before and I finally had to put the bag up because she wanted to take the things out and count them all over again or play with the puzzle pieces, she was funny about carrying her bag around. We had gotten her a DIVA bag for her last year that had been sitting in the closet so I decided to put all of her THINGS in that bag friday morning, oh my gosh, she was so excited about the purple diva bag that she wouldn't put it down, so that morning while we were waiting for the bus i snapped a few pictures of her and her bag. So I thought I'd share.
