New Blog Friends

September 20, 2006 · 2 Comments

Ok, I posted a few days ago about the site I found Pay Per Post where you can get paid for blogging. I have to wait 90 days before I can sign up but apparently theres a whole network of people who do this. I’ve discovered a couple of cool people who have put links to my blog on their site. A few of them are Lady Novas Place, Nutmeg Nine, and Tors Rants. I’ve put links to all of them in my second page and you should check them out here. Also a good friend and great author has linked to me on her blog here. You should definitely check her blog out, and you might find that you will love her books. She writes a series of books called The Circle of Friends.

Associated Press (9/15/2006, 8:30 AM PST)

TAMPA, (FL)–Tampa Bay Buccaneers football practice was delayed nearly two
hours today after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery
substance on the practice field. Head coach Jon Gruden immediately suspended
practice and called the police and federal investigators. After a complete
analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that the white substance unknown
to Buccaneer players was the GOAL LINE. Practice resumed after special agents decided
the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again

Welcome back

Hey, it’s down in the 40’s tonight. I have brewed some coffee. I don’t drink the stuff in the summer so it’s like catching up with an old friend. Also, I watched the new show Jericho tonight and thought it was really good. I also saw criminal minds for the first time. I was a big fan of Dharma and Greg so it’s good to see the guy who played Greg (I even have a Mona Lisa beaded curtain like Dharma had). The Unit came back on last night and I highly recommend it. It’s my second favorite show after 24. Sopranos would be the second if it was on a channel I didn’t have to pay for.

What a Day

September 20, 2006 · Leave a Comment

Hello all. I’ve had a very eventful day so I thought I would share it with you. I got up early because I had to go to downtown Raleigh to the Registrar of Deeds to pick up a copy of some paperwork. I got to raleigh no problem but once I got there the fun began. I’m not very familiar with the downtown area and that accompanied by the fact that every street is one way (as with most cities ) made it an adventure. Now I thought I knew where the ROD was but alas I was greatly mistaken. I think I saw every street for about 30 minutes and had to ask for dirctions…TWICE. The first was a cop at an accident and he pointed me to the street I thought I needed to be on, but of course that was not where I needed to be. Then I found a guy trying to cross the street and he told me where the ROD was. Now I just had to keep that information while I tried to find free or cheap parking as I had only brought $2.10 (what was I thinking). Luckily I found a parking lot for 50 cents an hour and it was even on the same street as the ROD….just 5 or 6 blocks away. I made it to the ROD (now with $1.60) an got to the window and the lady retrieved my documents. She asked if I needed it to file for benefits and I said sure. She then said if it was for benefits there was no charge (what a nice lady because I’m sure $1.60 would not have covered it) I then made my way out of raleigh without any complications and had 2 more stops. The first was hope mills to get my hair cut (Classy Cuts in the Food Lion Shopping center is the greatest). Now I just had to go to Ft.Bragg. If any of you live in the area you know that without a sticker and military or DA civilian ID you must have your car searched. Luckily I gave myself plenty of time cause I was in line for almost 30 minutes to be searched. Last obstacle or so I thought. I’m not very familiar with Bragg so I had directions and only knew one way to get where I needed to go. I get to the street I need to be on and a little way down I find it is closed for construction. So now I’m confused and driving through Army company parking lots trying to get back on course. Finally I get oriented and arrive at my destination 10 whole minutes early…..what a day
