God Bless Jan

On 11/29/00, my remarkable mother passed away. I was there by her side, with both of my sisters, one of our brothers & our sister-in-law.

There are so many reasons why my Mom was remarkable and I want to share a few with you. Not only did Mom work full-time, but she also managed to dedicate a great deal of her time assisting, organizing & planning events for Girl Scouts & Catholic Daughters. She was very dedicated to service. She was very involved in numerous church activities. She was liked & respected by a wide spectrum of individuals.

For me, the best thing about my mom was that she was always there. I might not like what she had to say all of the time, but she was dependable, my go-to person, loving & supportive. She wasn't a "saint", trust me, we were so much alike it was scary; but she was without a doubt an awesome person. (I still miss her so, sob...)

God Bless Jan

Procrastinator...Sometimes!

I am an organizer, a planner, a go-getter; I like to be in charge. I thrive on a challenge. If I am told it is impossible; I embrace the opportunity to find a way to make it happen. That is the synopsis of the way I handle my work life on a daily basis.

So, why oh why would I choose something different now? Well, truth be told, it is always easier to put off to tomorrow what you do not want to do today! I am definitely down with it!

Hello, my name is Flleenie and I'm a Procrastinator...Sometimes!

Time Marches On

"Time marches on"...as the saying goes...although only a saying, it is true. Time is the one thing that we can not control in our lives. Yet time is so important.



I have to be "on time" when I go to work. I have to be "on time" when I bring Ry to school. I have to be "on time" for everything no matter what. I have to be on time, no excuses! No matter who I am going to see or where I'm going to go!



Time is my best friend but it is also my worst enemy...



So to be on time, I need a schedule!

Shopaholic

I have to admit, that for the last 7 years, I was one of those idiots that got up at 3:30am the day after Thanksgiving to go shopping. I thrived on the 'power shopping' & the 'money saving' aspects of the experience. I bought items just because they were on sale.

This year, I hit all of the pre-pre-holiday sales with specific gifts in mind. I am almost completely finished with my Christmas shopping...only 3 more people to go. But, I still can't wait to see the ads for the day after Thanksgiving. The 3 items I want will probably be on sale somewhere, & I will be up at 3:30am that day to go shopping!! okay..."Hello, my name is Flleenie and I'm a 'Day after Thanksgiving' Shopaholic"

Can I have a refund...please?

Right now, it is way too cold, at least it is where I live, in west central Florida. OMG...bbbuuuhhhrrr...

We aren't even through hurricane season yet! Not that I am complaining, but hurricanes thrive on warm temperatures, right? Well, I think the season is over...cool, literally!!!

Now, may I please have a refund on my Homeowner's Insurance? HA, HA, HA...Good joke, huh?...(but honestly, can I have a refund...please?)

PATRIOTS RULE!!!

The game against Indy last Sunday was hard for me to watch...The Patriots were down most of the game. They got a butt load of penalties, over 144 yards, I think. Every time I started watching, the Colts had done something good! Then late in the 4th quarter, the Patriots showed their true colors. They scored 14 unanswered points to win the game.

Go Pats!!! PATRIOTS RULE!!!

Time, is it on my side?

When I was a child it seemed like it took forever to go through a year. Every year felt like a decade. Time dragged on & on. There was always time.

Now, as I get older, I know, there is never enough time. There have been too many happenings in my life to believe otherwise.

I mean, I feel like, I just bought Christmas gifts(for '06), yet they already have some ('07) black Friday ads online. And, actually, this evening I went to a Toys R Us sale with "Door buster" items, though I was disappointed as they were out of some of the items I wanted even though I got there 1hr & 10 minutes into the sale.

So, do I think time is on my side?
