Hey!!
How was your Christmas? Mines was nice, very nice. My family came over to my house and we ate Mustard and Collard greens, Turkey and Dressing, Macaroni and Cheese, and Ham. For desert we had sweet potato pies, lemon and chocolate cakes and a big ole bowl of Banana Pudding. We didn\’t do it as big as we did for Thanksgiving, but we ate good. I had to be at work the next morning at 6 am. Walmart was off the hook too on Christmas Eve, but the day after wasn\’t that bad………..until after my shift was ova. LOLThen it got ugly!!! Today I had to work from 10:30-2:30. I\’m home, well rested and blogging.
Eartha Kitt died last night. My daughter was sad, she has 4 of her songs on her iPod, and she loved her in Boomerang. We didn\’t even know she was sick. May she Rest in Peace!!!
I will finish this blog entry tomorrow!! Love ya

Ok, I\’m back. I got sleepy and had to make a mad EXIT off this computer. LOL. I went to lay on the couch and decided to start on my *Lets talk about Pep* book that my daughter bought for me for Christmas. I got to the 10Th page and I was nodding. Last night before I went to bed I was thinking about how undisciplined I am in many areas. I can see a project from the beginning and then see the end results, but for some reason I can\’t seem to finish them. I don\’t know why. Well I went to look up articles on Discipline and here are the important lines that got me on track this morning.
Self Discipline~ Is the ability to get yourself to take action regardless of your emotional state. Self Discipline can empower you to overcome any addiction or lose any amount of weight. It can wipe out procrastinations, disorder, and ignorance. It becomes a powerful teammate when combined with other tools like passion, goal-setting, and planning. Self Discipline is like a muscle the more you train it, the stronger you become. The less you train it, the weaker you become. When you discipline yourself to do what is hard, you gain access to a realm of results that are denied everyone else. The willingness to do what is difficult is like having a key to a special private treasure room. Willpower is your ability to set a course of action and say * ENGAGE*!!!!
After reading just that last night. It made me set personal goals before going to bed for today. I set out to do 10 things and to check each off before going to the next one. And then I set a BIG goal for myself to do. Its really really hard to discipline yourself. I can go see a play and be on time, go to a concert and be on time, go to Church and be on time * never late for Church EVER* but when it comes time to meeting at a family or friends house * I\’m always late*, when it comes to going to work and because we have a 15 minute grace period * I\’m always late but never beyond the grace. The older I\’m getting the more I hate being late. I HATE IT!!! So tomorrow * somebody hold my hand*, I\’m going to set a goal to be punched in for work NOT ONLY at 8:30 am as I\’m scheduled, but to be at my register at that time ready to ring up my first customer. Something so simple for the next person, is a hard one for me.
Well, I\’m headed off to bed, gotta be at work at 8:30. I\’m going to do my best at being at work on time without using my grace period. And I will report back tomorrow of how I did.
Above is a photo of my *niece* foo foo. She is my sister\’s dog and I love her to pieces!!! I love when she lays on the floor like this, she thinks she is a little gurl. When I knock on the door, she won\’t know who it is, until she gets on the top of the couch and look out of the window. When she sees that its me, she goes crazy barking for somebody to let me in. When I come in, I hug my nieces and nephews, sister and brother in law, she GETS MAD, she feels she should get my attention first. We be cracking up. Then once I give her kisses and hugs, she runs around the house running all over the place showing off. Don\’t let little kids come over and I talk to them Foo foo will let it be known that she\’s number 1 in my book. AND SHE IS!!! For Christmas my momma bought her a coat, and her fat butt cant even fit it. She is a miniature doberman, and the doctor * VET* told my sister that she had to lose weight. So they put her on this diet, then my sister went back and the doctor was pleased, as soon as she got home, they started feeding her a lot and that gurl is HUGE!!! When I come over her house. and I\’m about to leave, she\’ll wait until I open my car door, and she\’ll run and get in the back seat, and be looking like I ain\’t getting out this car. We laugh and laugh at that gurl foo foo. I\’ll just jump in the car and take her home with me, and if I\’m going to run errands that I wont have to get out, she goes with me all the time. She likes to sit in the front, and got a nerve to get mad when she gotta get in the back. LOL I love my niece. I have sooooooooooooooooooooo many photos of her on my phone. Above is my favorite. Enjoy!
God bless You all
