It's a WIN!!!! Home field advantage! YEEEESSS!!! Go GIANTS!!!

This was one of the most nail biting games I've seen in a long time. Even though I had faith that the Giants would persevere. How exciting was that touchdown that turned into two extra points to tie the game. And what a fantastic jon Ward did with moving the ball. But I still love Jacobs!

Times are hard...

It's the Saturday before Christmas and still more layoffs or layoff related issues. my cousin text me Thurs. evening to say he was just laid off and Friday is his last day. The Friday before Christmas. And if that wasn't bad enough a former employee at my job who was laid off almost 2 months ago filed for unemployment this past week. After applying the STATE of New York decided that would be a good time to audit him. Which turns out that he owes and has to pay his balance by January 9th.

I don't understand how in this economy why the State of New York would look for payment from someone who has lost their job and looking for assistance. What since does that make? Where do they think the money for payment is going to come from? After paying rent, electric and food there isn't any extra funds.

Let's hope that in 2009 more jobs will be available, which is the brain that my cousin is working out of.

More Fare Hikes?

The MTA held there public meeting today to announce their plan to raise fares and cut services. How does that work in the same sentence, they're basically saying charge you more for less.

A rider reached for his shoe and yelled "This shoe is for you!" at MTA chief Elliot Sander during a board meeting Wednesday morning in which proposed fare hikes were approved.

Shouting "You made $300,000 last year and this shoe is for you!," Stephen Millies, 54, of Jackson Heights, was trying to remove his shoe when security stopped him.


This was a definite reference to the Sundays episode at a news conference in Baghdad in which President George W. Bush ducked two shoes thrown at him by an Iraqi journalist who yelled at Bush in Arabic.

It's Christmas time in the city...

Here we are another Holiday Season aka Christmas. As I get older I become more and more confused as to what Christmas really means and the purpose it should serve. I thought it was supposed to be a spiritual event not all about who bought the biggest and who received the latest. Christmas Shopping


This new Christmas has become a depressing stressful holiday, especially in this economy. Why do we feel going in debt is a celebration. It's not! What happened to church, family, support and just plan old loving thy neighbor and let's not forget celebrating the birth of Christ. The birth of Christ. If there has never been a better time to go back to traditional Christmas now is the time. Go to church on on Christmas eve, come home and exchange gifts within the immediate family that are more personal than expensive. Have a quiet dinner and show appreciation for each other.

Getting Ready for a New: Change for 2009

I don't usually believe in New Year's Resolutions but have to say I am really pumped to start. I haven't spoken on the election since I abandoned this blog for a while. GO! OBAMA! I was so intrigued with this year's election like never before. It made me realize that our country i in need of drastic changes and what better way to start then with the first black president. Someone who has been in the trenches for most of his career, as well as his Vice President. That's what our country is in dier need of, an administration that isn't so far removed from everyday people.

With this new president coming into office it really began to give me a boost of hope as well as doing some self evaluation. I have come to the conclusion that my life is spiraling out of control: neglecting my health, gaining over 40 lbs., over spending and lack of motivation. So like Obama said the government can only do but so much we as Americans need to take responsibilty for our lives. And that's what I'm going to do! So, here I am ready to start my "New Year's Resolution"...I've let so much go that I have to actully sit down a create a plan as not to overwhelm myself. Here's my list of things I would like to accomplish this upcoming year:

• Loose weight (40 lbs.)
  
• Become more disciplined
  
• Get my health in order
  
• Get more intuned with my spiritality
  
• Start my own business
  
• Take control of my finances
• Volunteer more.

Not exactly in this order, I do know that "Discipline" needs to be my starting point. So wish me luck, this is crucial to my well being...And I am determined to make it work. That's it for now gotta get ready for work..talk to you later.

It's been a while...

I know it's been a while however my reason for the lapse: I am tired, fatigued and stressed. I hate to be a whiner but it is really hard not to when my job or I should say the company I work for is collapsing. I suffer from fibromalgia which is extremely painful at times and creates such fatigue. But on a good note I finally moved to a georgous brownstone just across the street. My new landlaord is kind, considerate and takes a lot of pride in her home.

This apartment is larger with crown molding and elaborate fixtures every where, from the bathroom to the lighting. It's georgous! My landlord painted the the apartment in three different colors that we chose as well as exposed bring where the fireplace is located.


I beleive that I will be spending a lot of time there very shortly, because I think that the last round of layoffs is going to take place which will include me. And beleive it or not that doesn't bother me, I am ready to have my days to myself to try a hand at starting my on business. I sincerely beleive and feel as though I wolud do well at being self employed. Well I am currently at the end of my shift (still at work) ssshhh!! So til next time. Stay positive.
