Missed Birthday

Well, I know that I don't have to continue this blog for class, but I enjoy it.

Monday was my birthday, but Sunday night I was sick.  Went to the doctor and was told I have Bronchitis. Suffered thru Monday and part of Tuesday not being able to breathe.  Went  to the hospital Tuesday afternoon and Guess What!!  I don't have Bronchitis, I have Pneumonia. feeling a little better today, but still hard to breathe due to cough. Glad all of my finals are done!!

Words, Words

I am both happy and a little sad this week.  I am happy, because I am almost finished with my homework and classes for this semester. I need a break.  I am not so happy about school being over.  I think that I am one of the few people who really enjoy being in school. I know that even after I finish my degree in May, I will probably continue to take a class at least once a year.

Right now I am trying to find a internship position for next semester.  I found out that when I called the different offices, I was using the wrong word. Silly me.  Instead of asking if they had an internship position open, I should have been asking to volunteer. Since it is called internship here at school, I thought that was what I was supposed to ask for.

 How crazy is it that just a different word can make all the difference in the world.  I know that the words you say are important to others.

 I learned this first hand when I was involved in my head-on car accident in 2007.  I kept remembering on that day the last words I said to my oldest son were not very nice. I now try very hard to say something nice whenever we part. So remember your words due count both in the office and personally!

Sick, Sick, Everybody Got Sick

This last week started out with our puppy Finn (you know who Finn is) being sick. Then I got sick. YUCK! Next  Daisy Mae (my brindle frenchie) got sick. Then, Oscar (my husband), Mathew (my son), and Becca (my daughter) all got sick. Finally, as of Saturday, Maggie and Angel ( two more of our Frenchies) got sick.

I know that people and dogs can not share the same virus, but it sure feels that we all shared the same thing.  As of today, Finn, Becca, Matthew, Oscar, Daisy Mae, and I are mostly back to normal.  Hope that this stops now. We only have 2 more Frenchies to go.

Movies with Shaquille O’Neal

So last night Shaquille O’Neal came to our movie theater to see Breaking  Dawn Part 2. We (the employees) are not allowed to take photos or ask for autographs, so I am using this one from his website (www.shaq.com).

 He is a very nice man who likes to eat nachos with a lot of cheese and peanut M&Ms. He took care of his fans when they asked for his photo or his autograph with a smile and a laugh. I do have one photo that a friend took, but it is in my phone and I don't know how to get it into the computer. 

After working double shifts for the last few days and getting ready to work another one today for customers who have been rude or nasty, I was happy to see that Shaq and his friends or family were very happy and nice to serve.   

Breaking Dawn Part 2

So tonight (Thursday) Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 comes out. I got picked to be the adult to go with my daughter and her friends to tonight's 10pm opening show. I am sure that it will be very crazy at the theater tonight and this whole weekend.  Everyone at the theater is scheduled to work all three nights this weekend. Needless to say, I am doing my homework now, because I will not get the chance later. I normaly would look forward to resting during Thanksgiving, but that is one of our very busy days for the theater. 


Hope everyone will come out and visit us at Carmike Cinemas Foothills 12 in Maryville on Thanksgiving or Christmas Day. Yep we are the only thing open on Christmas Day. So after watching all of your children, grandchildren, in-laws, and out of town guests until it drives you crazy, come on over and drive us crazy. Just remember that we have feelings and don't be rude.

Daughter and Dogs

So this post is about my Daughter and our French Bulldogs.

Both are crazy in their own ways.

My daughter is crazy about:

So this is one wall in my daughter's room. She just loves One Direction and Josh Hutcherson.

From One Direction, she specifically likes Zayn.

Next summer we are going to see One Direction in concert in Atlanta. 

I remember when I was younger, I used to have posters of New Kids On The Block and a few other boy groups of that time on my walls.

My French Bulldogs are crazy about:

These are my 10 year old frenchies, Oreo and Chaz.

They are crazy about this chair.

This used to be my chair, but they have not let me sit in it for a few years. 

So now we call it the Dog Chair. 

Oreo usually stays in it all day and only gets down if she wants to go out or to eat.

 In December, I will be getting a new chair and the dogs will be getting doggy beds.

Good Bye Dog Chair, I am sure they will miss you.

Short On Time

This weekend I am very short on home time. I have multiple homework assignments for a few different classes and I have to work all weekend at the movie theater.  At least I get to have a little fun on Sunday, because I get to make cotton candy in the lobby and give out samples of it to little kids. Usually, I have to make around 20 bags, but I get six hours to make them in. If I am in a hurry I can make them in two hours.  This time it will be a very easy and fun job.  I stand and talk to little kids and their parents. The little kids are usually licking their lips while watching me make the cotton candy. They get to request what color they want and I tell them the different flavors.

  From the four colors that we have (blue, dark pink, light pink, yellow) I make green, peach, gray, purple, and orange. Last weekend, I experimented with chocolate cotton candy. Most employees did not like the plain chocolate even though it smelled liked warned up Coco Puffs. I then made Chocolate Banana and most of them freaked out over the flavor. It was fun trying to get the mixture just right for the best flavor. At the end of the night we decided that we will offer that flavor only by special order.
