Bear Cub

With the drought in our area, the wildlife have been moving closer to populated areas.  Unfortunately, the bears have been trying to take back the territory that was once theirs to roam freely.  One of our customers had said that he walked into his kitchen and there was the momma bear digging in the fridge [...]

One more day

One more full day and it’s the weekend…WOOHOO!!!  I cannot wait to have 3 days off from work!  The only problem with having a Monday off, is that Tuesday becomes a double Monday.  But, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.  Right now, I am so looking forward to doing what I want for [...]

What are your plans for the Labor Day Weekend?

My husband just asked if we had any plans for the weekend.  He has to work on Saturday, however, he isn’t on call that night.  So we pretty much have Saturday night through Monday night off.  Unfortunately that is too short of time to travel 7-8 hours one way, so now we have to figure out [...]

Is it Friday yet??

What a day!  I’m frustrated, tired, & mad, however, not like I was earlier.  Days like today make me wish I was already at my 5-15 year plan.  My walk down on Lakeshore Blvd didn’t help either.  It just made me more tired, sweaty and smelly … LOL … sorry TMI! 
When I left the office to pick [...]

All in a days work

It has been pretty hectic today.  Problems, solutions, problems, solutions, problems, shootings!  I think we all said, “Just shoot me now” a few times today.  The closer we get to Labor Day, the worst the days are going to get.  This is the last big hoorah before the tourists and part-time residents go home.  And [...]

Scott and Renee

So I just watched the final episode of Scott Baio is 45 and still single.   Surprise, hubby watched it with me.
**SPOIL ALERT – IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE FINAL EPISODE AND YOU HAVE IT ON YOUR DVR – DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER **
However, to those of you that have seen the last episode or [...]

“Playing by Heart”

I just finished watching this movie and I don’t know why it isn’t on my favorite movie list.  I will have to add it.  It’s an older movie staring:  Sean Connery, Gena Rowlands, Angelina Jolie, Gillian Anderson, Madeline Stowe, Dennis Quaid, and others …
Good movie about relationships, family, friends and love.   Relationships on any level can [...]

Removing the blinders

So, I worked on the challenge I gave us all.  Blinders were off and besides watching traffic, I started noticing the things around me. 
When I left the house it was so smoky.  From what I was told the smoke was from the Santa Barbara fire.  The jet stream brought it to our area.  When the afternoon wind started, the smoke quickly dissipated .
Of [...]

Going through life with blinders on

How many of us do this?  Yes, I have my hand raised also.  I am so guilty of that and I need to stop!  Someone had apologized to me for being so unaware of what the ministry I am involved with does.  This person has taken over the outreach ministry and my involvement is a small corner of outreach.  He [...]

WooHoo!!

I actually walked tonight after work.  I was able to make it back up the hill without oxygen … LOL … that’s an improvement from Monday!
Well, they drew 4 large thingies of blood.  Everyone else before me was done in a split second … not me … it seemed like it took forever.  Then I [...]
