Manic Monday

It sure is a Manic Monday. Ah gotta love it the rush of getting to work and as soon as you sit down boom first phone call. Ok hello it is 7:20 AM do people not believe in have coffee or tea first? Oh and it just got better from there.

The end of the day is approaching oh but there will still be work to do. One must continue the task at hand.

The weekend was good 2 Elk Lodges and 1 Moose Lodge all for the greater good. Nice friends good music and some laughter along the way.

Desperate Housewives is getting pretty sinfully good! I do not know if I like that old lady or not. At first it was no but now I am like oh maybe but I am not convinced that is for sure. Next week they showed fired and mayhem oh I just love those dramas.

Speaking of drama tonight is DWTS yes these remaining stars will be dancing 2 dances which means in under a week they had to learn 2 dances. No Susan will not be there sadly but she will be missed...ok if only by me.

What else may happen?

Stay tune

Friday

Oh Friday you finally got here and I am so happy you are here! I wish I could work from home on Fridays heck I wish I could work from home every day...ok maybe not everyday just every other day.

I am not my usual high energy self today I feel sort of - off balanced so the plan is today to listen to Music that will align my chakras and internally work on balancing myself. Hopefully by tonight it will be fine and I have no doubt it will be fine. Oh speaking of tonight yes the visit of my favorite Elks Lodge in South Miami. Yup tonight is Greek night and I for one am looking forward to it.

Oh but this isn't the only Elks Lodge I will be visiting this weekend save me now I have a meeting at Miami Lodge tomorrow afternoon. Yes that is the end of Elk Lodge visits because once I leave Miami Lodge I will most likely head to the Moose Lodge for some ceremony there. Once all that is done I think I will hide and just visualize being the wind again.

Ok this is all I have for now..

Stay Tune..

Today's Quote

When someone asked the Zen poet Thich Nhat Hanh what we need to do to save the world, he answered:

"What we most need to do is to hear within us the sound of the Earth crying."

It had to end

Well its a sad morning. It had to happen eventually one thing for sure I am glad it happened after Cloris left. But Susan Lucci was voted off last night. Susan was happy for the experience and thanked everyone especially her wonderful trainer. Susan it's OK at least you have an Emmy which is more then some of those silly judges have.


In happier news I woke up to pretty mid sixties weather. No it does not look like this picture - come on this Miami we only dream of our trees looking like this. It will rise to almost 80 and then drop tonight to the 60's and I for one am happy that Mother Nature is visiting Miami.

Tonight is Grey's Anatomy and I recently read that Dr Hahn is out of there - Thank you buh bye! The doctors are going to practice tonight a solo surgery on this mannequin that simulates sound and can even talk to you. I learned that this is a real thing. In one of the hospitals here they actually use this with residents to train them. If you give them the right meds the patient responds but if you give them something well they croak. Now it is anybody's guess as to who will be the first doctor on the show tonight to get this luxury surgery? Will it be Meredith since oh well the show is GREY'S Anatomy. Or will it be whinny George - God I hope not! Or will the blond ambitious Izzy be the lucky one?

Stay tune..

The Change has begun

Well it is official true change has arrived in America. It is truly nice to be part of history. Think about it this will go down in the history books. Yes as tomorrow comes there will ups and downs but together as a nation we must stand strong and be supportive.

It's amazing that today as Day 4 just ended that one of the Soul Coaching exercises was to "Change your language." I think this is what we all need to think about. Instead of saying I am pissed off change the language to I am a tad cranky. So as day 5 begins lets let Fresh invigorating energy fill our lives!

In other fun news DWTS results is tonight. Not sure who will go I just hope Susan is not leaving just yet. Ok the reality is she is not the best dancer I know this but come on this is Susan Lucci aka Erica Kane. Soap lovers unite!

Ok so tomorrow night is Grey's Anatomy and I still cannot find a logical reason for the character George? Like what is his purpose there? He looks like a lost little boy only he is a doctor???? I am undecided on Lexie but for now she can stay. I heard they are getting rid of the lesbian character Dr Hahn - I did not care too much for her anyway she did not seem to have "feelings" and I like characters that have feelings rather then harsh words. Tomorrow's episode will have The Chief announce to the residents that a solo surgery will be awarded, and the news sends them into a competitive frenzy. Frenzy? No not these doctors. They are never in a frenzy.

Stay tuned

Election Day

Ok I voted! I was at my poll place at 6:45 AM thinking ok as in the past little line hardly any wait should be out by 7:30. Well I got there and hum there is a line a wee bit longer then in the past. Ok to be expected. So I got out and thought once they open at 7 it will hopefully move. And it did the line was actually pretty good in movement in the beginning. Then it just sort of stopped. You see I live in Floriduh and we now have to do things the very long way. So you tell me why it took so long. You walk in and go to the line under your last name's initial ok. Check in and get this tiny blue paper. Then you are directed to another line. Ok go to that line and two long ballot sheets front and back and you black pen because you will need that for voting. Ok get your sheets and wait in you guessed it another line. This line is for the voting booth oh but since this is paper ballot the ballot box is merely a place to fill in the blank. Ok so I am productive ( I am special that way) and I fill in the blanks while in line. I was smart I did my homework and knew what I wanted to do and even brought in my filled sample ballot. Ok so now I walk up to the ballot box and pretty much validate what I had written. Ok fine I am so done. Then I go to the guy I am done and he goes "Ok great now stand in this line" ARRGGG another line? Oh yes there is another line so I can put my ballot in a scanner so after a while I scan my two sheets of ballot paper and I am ready for them to tell me to stand in another line but they don't. They take the black pen they gave me the pretty blue paper and tell me to go and thank you! So when I originally thought oh by 7:30 I am out of there turned out I am walking out of there at 8:20. I know I did my American duty and voted and I feel good about that I really do but come on the process could of been so much more easier.

Ok on to happier news - Dancing With the Stars

The show started with individual dancers but later in the show they were going to be hook up with their teams. They would be divided into 2 sets of teams named Team Cha Cha and Team Paso Doble. 3 couples on one and 3 couples on the other. The group would dance and the score that the judges gave them would be added to their individual scores and then of course added to the votes received by the viewers. Well some of the expected rah rah rah was for BROOKE BURKE & DEREK HOUGH - Scoring Carrie Ann: 10 Len: 10 Bruno: 10 - 30 out of 30 - the first perfect score of the season! I have to admit the girl is good she really is good.

LANCE BASS & LACEY SCHWIMMER - Scoring
The judges are divided on this dance. Bruno and Carrie Ann hand out nines, but Len only award the rumba a seven. 25 out of 30. It was funny to see the judges fighting which goes to show its a matter of taste who has it and who does not. Len is a fuddy duddy so he does not like if someone does anything not traditional. I think they deserved a higher score but thats my little opinion.

SUSAN LUCCI & TONY DOVOLANI - Paso Doble

This week during rehearsal Susan and Tony butted heads. Tony said he wanted to get Susan all fired up in order to bring out the aggression for the Paso Doble and boy he sure did. Bruno loved it. Carrie Ann makes Susan stand up and shout "I'm doing good!" That's self motivation, Carrie Ann Inaba style. Len said it was among Susan's best routines, full of danger and drama. So did it show in the score? 24 out of 30. Ok good but come on can you go higher then an 8 just for once! Don't make her get all Erica Kane on you all!

This week because of the election the Results Show has been moved to Wednesday night at 8PM. Don't forget to vote! Sure, vote for your favorite couple on the show, but get out there and vote for real, too. See you Wednesday. GO SUSAN! Ops did I say that out loud?

Stay Tune..

Here we go again...

Here we are the start of my work week. I love Mondays. Yes that was in a sarcastic tone. The work week is here and already I am wishing it was Friday. Due to the long lines early voting is just not an option for me and I after seeing how an absentee ballot gets handled I think I will wait till tomorrow and be at the polls at 7:00 AM.

I hope your work and life week goes well. Let the winds blow and look up at Mother Nature and tell her thank you then watch how the trees talk to each other. Yeah it's cool.

Oh let's not forget tonight is Dancing With the Stars! Rah Rah for Susan Lucci!

I tried..

Well I so tried to start Nov 1st blogging but what can I say the day started on a weekend. I won't beat myself up on the head.

Alright the rounds of Elk Lodges is done. Friday Night began with dinner at South Miami Coral Gables Elks Lodge - Steak Dinner all I can is YUM. Large steaks on the BBQ grill to order with a salad, and dessert for $12 - only in America folks only in America. Hung out with some really nice friends. I enjoy those nights all sitting around this big table laughing and just talking about anything and everything.

Then 3 of us headed towards Miami Lodge 948 for their Halloween Party. Pretty scary site(s). There should be a law in regards to people over 90 wearing low revealing outfits. Thats just so wrong. But the event was fun and they got a large crowd as usual.

But wait there is more. Then I stopped off at my local Moose Lodge for a night cap on my way home. One of the ladies had asked me to stop by for their Halloween party and I told her I would do it on my way home. You know there is only so much a girl can travel. Stayed there for alittle but spoke to some nice people and then I was off to my safe haven of home sweet home.

Now Saturday oh yes Saturday was nice too. Got all dressed up fancy style and went to the Charity Ball. The dinner was prime rib and cheesecake for dessert. Some over priced silent auction items that I wish I could afford. No bargain there thats for sure. We had a table of the funest yes I said fun-est friends. It was a total riot. We laughed and sang and pretty much had a great time. Then it was time to go home - yee pee! I came home and wait till you hear what I did I finished Twilight!!! Yes thats right I sure did! I had to I was reading it in the afternoon and it was at this climax high energy point and then I had to go to the charity ball- arg...I kept thinking I really want to finish it tonight. SO I did. SO there.

Oh wait you may think the round is over no of course NOT. This morning we went back to Miami Lodge for Brunch with Jeff, Janis, and Glen - the same gang we saw last evening. Oh you know we are all Elks all the time. Now I think I may be Elk-free until Wednesday? I don't know who knows we shall see.

Ok so tonight is Desperate Housewives and I can't wait. I am convinced Edi's husband is the father/husband of the little boy and lady Mike accidently killed in the car accident. He has a wicked side well more then wicked down right evil. I think Brothers and Sisters is after that usually around that time I start yawning and miss portions of it so hopefully I won't miss anything today.

Stay tune..
