First Day of Autumn

Today is Thursday, September 23rd, 2010, First Day of Autumn. It does not feel like Autumn yet, but I am ready for it and also looking forward to winter. I don't have too many Autumn pictures, but being that October and November is coming up, I can put Holloween and Thanksgiving pictures on my postings of blog and notes. Looking more forward to December, because than I can do pictures of snow and Christmas. I remember someone had liked some Thomas Kinkade pictures, I look forward to putting those on just as well. Would you actually believe that it is not October and November yet and Holloween and Thanksgiving is coming out in the stores. I am even seeing a touch of Christmas coming out. I guess the stores need to get the bigger items out, that way if one needs to put items on Lay-away for Christmas they can.

Well, everyone enjoy your First day of Autumn and looking forward to writing more as the days are yet to come.

Love,

Slowing down a bit!!

It's hard to believe that this Thursday, August 23, 2010 is going to be the first day of Autumn. Of course today I am having a hard time typing. I have learned that why I post things on my blog it will also post on my facebook just as well under my tab that is labeled notes. Being that it is hard to believe that Autumn is going to be here, it means that soon we are going to creep up on Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years getting ready to enter into 2011. WoW!! Time flies by really fast. Everyone is busy with school, older adults who are going to college or a university is busy, more so, when midterms are coming up and finals that will soon arrive in December. Not to scare anyone. A friend of mine said that one of his classes, he has to depend on taking a final test for a grade. I wish him good luck. I know that parents are going to be extremely busy with their children and school. Good luck parents and hopefully you won't be too stressed out. As a matter of fact I hope nobody gets too stressed out and over whelmed. I know a few friends that are close by and if they get stressed out they are more than welcome to come over to my place and escape for the weekend. I have a pull out bed couch that they can sleep on, plus a floor if needed. And if they are not allergic to cats, they will need to put up with my cat Lucky.

Now, that I wished everyone good luck with the rest of this year, it is my turn to talk about me for a while. I have been very emotionally and physically tired. I don't want it to be this way. I do my best to go to church to spiritually get myself motivated for the week and I try to take it easy when I am hurting. If I sound like a whimp, well than maybe I am, but you try going through surgery (happen in 2008) having your gall bladder removed and 20% of your pancreaus removed. Also, try having pancreatitus and type 2 diabetes. I do my best to take my medications and go see my doctor, but when money is tight it is a little harder on me. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that I am the only one who has problems, I am sure there are others who have problems with certain other types of diseases, including cancer. But with me, I feel very tired. I have been trying to find someone who can come and help me out once or twice a week and it needs to be someone that I can afford. I can't afford to hire a nurse or a housekeeper, it will cost a little bit too much. The way I can afford is to reimburse for gas and feed the person meals. My husband does his best to help out, but with him working overtime and graveyards he only has so much time in the mornings and than he needs his sleep. But, I do appreciate his help so much when he can provide it.

Another reason for this entry is that I have a lot of projects I need to catch up on. One of them I am doing right now. I would like to write in my blog about every other day and try to post something very exciting and interesting so everyone can try and laugh or make a comment back. I also have other projects that needs to get done before Christmas, some take a little bit longer than what I had planned on and it would be nice to get them done. Than there is my housecleaning, because I don't have the extra help I would need to take time to keep up with my housecleaning. I am not deleting any of my accounts from facebook and from my blog. I am going to slow down and take it easy on facebook. I will be on facebook in the morning from the time I wake up and turn my computer on for at least about one hour to an 1 1/2 hours at the most. Long enough to check any messages and in Alpha order to send out private messages to all of my friends. Than during the day, I will be off of it to work on my projects and housecleaning and than later in the evening I will be back on facebook to send out private messages to my friends. I will try to do one or two friends maybe three a day, to let them know that I have not forgotton about them. Again, I am not deleting my facebook account, just taking it down, limiting myself because of projects that need to get done. As far as my Facebook games, I will still play those, but mostly one in the morning and more in the evening.

I love everyone who are my friends and love to keep in touch with all the time. Six friends in particular, plus my family. Well, I know this blog is a bit long, but had to get out what I needed to say. I might have missed something, but if I did miss something it was probably not important. Thanks for reading this.

Love your friend,

Sara M. M.

Updates

Anyone who still goes and reads my blog, there will be some more writtings and updates soon. Have not forgotten, just been a little bit busy.

"When we don't see each other."

To explain what this poem is about, the poem is mostly about missing certain people that you love. If read carefully, one can take this poem in many different ways. For me after starting to connect with some of my friends from high school, I realized that it had been years since I have heard from them. Another reason for this poem, is if you lose someone that you love, due to death you start to miss them and wish they were around to talk to. I also wrote this poem, for that it deals with couples who are married or those who are not married, that if you are away from them for more than a day or two you start to miss them. The poem is a conversation between two people as a couple, going back and forth. The poem is also based off of a song that I heard by a certain Rock Pop group. (Will not name the group or song.) It is also based off of, ever so often, if you get ignored by a certain someone; you start to feel alone, sad, hurt and sometimes on the depressed side. So, I do hope that this poem helps everyone of my friends and family. Here is the poem.

"When we don't see each other."

By Sara Marie McMurdie

I know that when we don't see each other we both hurt and feel very much alone.

When I don't see you, I am always feeling sad and I cry for you.

When you don't see me, are you feeling sad and do you cry for me?

When I don't see you, it feel like forever for me.

When you don't see me, does it feel like forever for you?

When I don't see you, I always miss you very much.

When you don't see me, do you always miss me very much?

When I don't see you, I wish you would call me and talk to me.

When you don't see me, do you wish I would call you and talk to you?

When I don't see you, I wish I could write you a letter and send it to you.

When you don't see me, do you wish you could write me a letter and send it to me?

When I don't see you, I wish you were in front of me.

When you don't see me, do you wish I was in front of you?

When I don't see you, secretly, in my mind, I am watching you.

When you don't see me, secretly, in my mind, are you watching me?

When I don't see you, I am afraid that something bad had happend to you.

When you don't see me, are you afraid that something bad has happened to me?

When I don't see you, I pretend that I am with you.

When you don't see me, are you pretending to be with me?

When I don't see you, I wonder where you are and what you are doing.

When you don't see me, do you wonder where I am and what I am doing?

When I don't see you, I am always thinking of you.

When I don't see me, are you always thinking of me?

When we don't see each other, I miss you as a friend, as you miss me as a friend.

When we don't see each other, we cannot wait until the next time we meet again.

But most of all, when we don't see each other, know that I will still always love you, as I know that you will still always love me.

Love always,

Sara Marie McMurdie

Here is another that is funny and shared with me.

If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea....does that mean that one out of five enjoys it?

Why do croutons come in airtight packages? Aren't they just stale bread to begin with?

If people from Poland are called Poles, then why aren't people from Holland called Holes?

If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP? ?

What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men?

I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks, so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use. Toothpicks?

Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do, write to them? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen can look for them while they deliver the mail?

Is it true that you never really learn to swear until you learn to drive?

As income tax time approaches, did you ever notice: When you put the two words 'The' and 'IRS' together, it spells 'THEIRS'?

YOU, make it a great day!Lord, please keep Your arm around my shoulders and Your hand over my mouth. Amen

Something that a friend shared with me.

LOVE MY JOB

If you don't laugh out loud after you read this you are in a coma! This is even funnier when you realize it's real! Next time you have a bad day at work think of this guy..

Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana . He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs. Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it to radio station 103.2 FM in Ft. Wayne , Indiana , who was sponsoring a worst job experience contest. Needless to say, she won.

Hi Sue,Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother.

Last week I had a bad day at the office. I know you've been feeling down lately at work, so I thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it's not so bad after all Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job.

As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to the office. It's a wet suit. This time of year the water is quite cool.So what we do to keep warm is this: We have a diesel powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature..It then pumps it down to the diver through agarden hose, which is taped to the air hose.
Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've used it several times with no complaints.What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wet suit. This floods my whole suit with warm water.. It's like working in a Jacuzzi.

Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to itch.. So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse. With in a few seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had happened.

The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit. Now, since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish couldn't stick to it.. However, the crack of my butt was not as fortunate.


When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into the crack of my butt.

I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with five other divers, were all laughing hysterically.Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make three agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling thirty-five minutes before I could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression.

When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet. As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my butt as soon as I got in the chamber.
The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't poop for two days because my butt was swollen shut.So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how much worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt.

Now repeat to yourself, 'I love my job, I love my job, I love my job.'Now whenever you have a bad day, ask yourself, is this a jellyfish bad day?May you NEVER have a jellyfish bad day!!!!!Pass this on to all your friends, just in case they're having a bad day!!!

Love,

Sara McMurdie

It has been a while

Well, it has been a while since I have posted a blog. For starters, I haven't had the inspiration to do much on my blog, mainly noone has care to answer back on it or have not made a comment on the blog. Another reason, I have not been feeling to good to do much of anything. I started off with a bad ear infection, than I had the stomach flu, than a cold started developing and than I started getting the regular flu. March is not a very good month for me. Well, I am back on to writing in my blog and this time I thought maybe I would ask my facebook friends to read now and my past postings of my blog. I will try to let everyone know in advance on my facebook page when I posted a blog. That way whether or not you make comments back, it at least gives everyone a chance to read my blog.

Another reason, is that it is almost here. For those who know me, I also celebrate the Jewish holidays as well as the Christian holidays. Passover is coming up on March 30th, 2010, but technically it will start at sundown March 29th, 2010 and end at sundown April 5th, 2010. Also, Easter is approaching us, which is on April 4th, 2010. So, I will try to do some writings about Easter and Passover as much as possible. I don't know if it will be everyday for a while, but I will do my best.

So, as I mention before I will let all of my friends know when I did some postings to my blog.

Love,
Sara M. M.
