Life

I am one of those who likes to start off their day with a cup of coffee with breakfast. It just helps me wake up and it feels good to have something warm in the mornings (especially on a colder winter day). The smell of coffee is often even more enjoyable than the taste.

It is amazing how many Starbucks Coffee stores there are in the world. No matter which country I have traveled to, I have never failed to find a Starbucks. Sometimes when you are in a country that is foreign to you and the food is quite different, you enjoy seeing something familiar that you know will taste the same as it does at home. It helps you not to feel some homesick.

If part of a neighbors tree fell into your backyard, what would you do? Would you take it to the trash yourself? Or would you throw it over the fence back into his backyard?

If it gets a few degrees colder it might even snow! Well, probably not, the most snow I've ever seen here is snow that melts once it hits the ground. People are all wearing jackets and keeping warm. Well, at least it's better than the sweltering heat.

For me, I would have to say it is the cockroach. They hide out during the day so you cannot see them. They creep out at nighttime just to invade the privacy of your home without you knowing.

With a midnight trip to the bathroom and a sudden switch of the lights, you may find a little visitor entertaining you. The cockroach might laugh at you as it sees you scream and jump in the air yelling, "AHHHHH! A COCKROACH!"

They are sneaky little fellows that never seem to die. All they do is sit in a dark quiet place and await the next time they may startle an unsuspecting HUMAN!

My vacuum doesn't seem like it is picking up the things on the carpet. I think there is something wrong with the suction or a valve or something. I am not sure. I am definitely not a mechanic. I think it's time for a new vacuum!

Well, about two days ago I woke up in the morning, but to the wrong alarm. Usually my cell phone alarm goes off to wake me up. That morning, the alarm never went off so I was wondering what had happened.

As the day went on I realized that my backgrounds, games, applications, emails, and more were all missing on my cell phone.

I tried restarting the phone. I tried taking off the back and pulling out the battery to let it reset itself. I tried everything possible that I could do before calling into the phone company.

Finally I gave in and went ahead and called after 2 days of the information not coming back. The man that helped me on the phone was very nice. He mentioned that the whole server for the type of phone that I have crashed. They were quickly tried to get it back up and I would be able to see when everything came back. He told me not to worry, that my information and programs were not lost, they were just in the air in limbo.

I went shopping for sunglasses yesterday, although it really drove me crazy because I went into about 20 different stores and couldn't find a single pair that actually fit my face right.

The sun has been shining so bright lately and having glasses to protect your eyes is a necessity. My old glasses broke a few days ago and I have been dying since then.

The mall is a nice place to shop for sunglasses; there are a million different stores that have them. I went in and out of almost every one of the stores in the mall and couldn't find one pair of sunglasses that looked good on me and fit my face. My face is a little narrow and so I have to find the perfect pair to fit me.

This morning I got up extra early before work started and went into one store; they had nothing that was worth purchasing. I drove close by my work and went into another store. Alas! Finally I found the pair I was looking for! Happy now that I don't have to worry about shopping for another pair.

Where is the place that you would like to travel the most this summer? Or, if you live in the southern hemisphere, next summer.

I would love to go to Italy. It's my dream.
Let me know what your dream vacation is.
