Lost and Found

So today I start my day just as any other. After getting ready. Pick up my purse. Head for the door, fumbling for my keys. Humm no keys, sheesh where are my keys. Look everywhere still can't find them. Find my spare and go on to the store. Back home, I have got to find my keys. Well not so much worried about the keys....It's the Remote I'm really going to miss.
Thinking how much is the post office going to charge me to get a new postbox key. Looking every place, thinking there is Noooo where I have not looked. Well I did get a few extra spots cleaned out and trashed some stuff. Then late this evening I remember leaving the key in the front door yesterday. Taking them out and telling sweetie girl to put them in my purse. Not a good idea! Knowing I've already Searched and Cleaned out my purse with no luck. My printer sits on table, where my purse usually lands when I come in. It has one little door for extra paper. Takes a deep breath opens the door and there they lay. Lost and Found oh what a day.
What was the last thing you lost? And did you find it?

Music

I have been listening to a lot of different types of music this past week. Noticing how quickly my mood changes from one song to the next. Music is everywhere, in our homes, schools, sporting events, shopping malls, in our vehicles as we travel from place to place, while we exercise, at our work, church, sometimes I even like a radio at the beach.

Just wondering what music means to everyone out there; How does is affect you, why and how much are you into it?

Music it is one thing in this world that can calm me down, pump me up, inspire me, and change my life. The feeling I get when I hear my favorite song for the first time is unreal..Or hearing an old song that brings back moments of memories is really great. Music just keeps me going.

9/19 Tuesday- Adding a quick poll :

When clicking on a blog with music. Do you perfer Manual turn on, Auto Play or Either.

Blackberry

Today I read some people are addicted to their blackberries.
Blackberry used to be a fruit for making pies.

Now the blackberry is primarily known for its ability to send and receive e-mail anywhere it has access to an appropriate wireless network of a cellular phone carrier, as well as for its built-in keyboard optimized for "thumbing", or using only the thumbs to type.

Thumbing used to be a term used for hitchhiking. Oddly enough, Now it is way to type on a very small keyboard.

Naggie used to be a term for wife wanting her to do list done pronto, immedility, as in Now!
Well today I find out it has a whole new meaning. You can download this free program called Naggie on your blackberry.
It is a location-based reminder application (similar to web site Remember the Milk) with a very cool twist: it integrates with your blackberries GPS location to give you reminders whenever you're close to a location-based task.

So here's the link. Check out all the things your blackberry Naggie can do for you. Naggie.com

Do you have a Blackberry and how often do you use it?

" Croc Hunter " Steve Irwin

Steve Irwin, the ebullient Australian TV personality and conservationist known as the Crocodile Hunter, was killed today by a stingray barb to the heart during a diving expedition.
Irwin, 44, was filming an underwater sequence for a television series on remote Batt Reef off the far north-east coast of Australia when he encountered the ray and was stung at about 11am (0200BST), accoring to a statement from Australia Zoo, Irwin's park.
He is survived by his wife, from Oregon, who was Terri Raines before they married in 1992, their daughter Bindi Sue, eight, and son Bob, who will turn three in December.

Sorry to bring this sad news to you all, if you haven't already heard.
I enjoyed watching his shows.
He will be sadly missed. My heart goes out to his family.

Happiness

Intuition- A strong word that should never be ignored.
Connect with your inner voice. Meditation can be as simple as taking a walk through the park, inhaling and exhaling deeply or listening to soothing music. It's anything that helps quiet your mind.
My intuition has been telling me to take it easy, lighten up .

Make yourself laugh. Find something funny to read, watch a funny TV show or movie. Remember a funny moment that happened. Think of something that always makes you laugh.

A kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, "I'm drawing God." The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like." Without missing a beat or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."

Cheetos make me happy. The color orange, the loud crunch in my mouth, the cheesy taste. They always fill that hunger craving of something to snack on. Then I get to lick the orange stuff off my fingers for an extra treat of emotional bonding with myself. Yeah my cheetos are very special.

One happy moment in my life: The birth of my daughter. Being told she is doing fine, no problems. Holding her in my arms and seeing for myself she is perfect. Yes that the word I would describe her still today. My perfect sweetie girl.

One peaceful moment in my life: The last time I went to the mountains. It was cold and snowing. After driving 8 miles up this mountain on a snow covered road. Windows down feeling the cool crisp air, everything white seeing very little green. Arriving at the top with a breath taking view of tops of trees as far as I could see. It was almost like floating in the clouds. The quietness up there was unbelievable. Only hearing things like small cracking noises and a bird chirps from afar.

Feed your esteem. If you want to be more open to adventure, growth, and spontaneous fun, you'll have to starve your brain critic and feed your inner confidence coach. Start each day with a self-affirming statement: "I'm hot, I'm smart, and I'm ready for anything," or "I'm confident, competent, and full of energy." Give yourself compliments that pump up your sense of power. Remember, we are all bombarded every day with subtle and not-so-subtle messages of how "challenging" (scary, dangerous, etc.) things are. Defy them with your own inner dialogue of hope, confidence and strength.

Try something New -
The last new thing I did was shooting skeet this past spring.
What was the last new thing you did ?
Give me some ideas. I'm in desperate need of my next new adventure.
