just a headache

Friday, I went to the bank and found out that, Mellon is still dragging their feet getting my 401k ready to be turnover into and IRA. I finally was able to meet the guy who will be helping me choose what stocks and stuff I need to achieve my financial goal. Saturday I made it to the congregation book study. I got to my cousins shop. It was too busy to get my hair done. So I made an appointment. I will have to leave work early on the 1st so I can get my hair done. Successful appointment with Jamie in Aliquippa, A new Avon rep! Sunday I went to the kingdom hall but quickly got a headache so I suffered the rest of the day. Todd when to work early and then was home at 3:00 instead of going to work at 3:00. It was great to be able to sit at the table and eat dinner and talk.

SPRING TIME IN PARIS

APRIL 12, 2008 Spring time in Paris. This themed party came about because Deb over hear our nieces planning their trip to Paris. She also found out she was the one who was going to foot the bill for this wonderful once in a lifetime experience. While Deb explained the conversation to me she also decided that we should give them a party and named it Springtime In Paris. That was at least 17 to 18 months ago. The party took place on April 12, 2008 in my garage. One time about doing a themed party is finding the different items to make it look and feel like you are really there. Deb is determined in that way. She is the best theme party shopper anyone could dream up and she always gets a good price. She claims it’s about being in the right place at the right time.

crying on the inside.

He was always willing to listen when I did call him. I looked forward to his visits and I enjoyed visiting him. Any trips to or near MS I always visited him. My father died of lung cancer.

He felt that he had let all his daughters down and disappointed each of them by dying. I held his hand and told him that he had given us a firm foundation on which to build our lives. His words will always be with us to guide us and he did nothing wrong. He squeezed my hand and then he let it go. It w...

This is a good thing because she was getting tired to school and if she did not achieve her goal she was going to chalk it up to a good try. Congrats to Terri and we look forward to helping you achieve your next goal.
