I found Clue Number Uno

Lately I have been listening to a podcast called "Shadow Falls". This podcast is story telling at its very best. The town of Shadow Falls, in which the mystery is based on, has been created in Second Life. I made my way to Shadow Falls tonight ..and found the first clue. I know the answer to the clue ..but the box won't open. At one point I decided to just sit on the darn box. If you get some spare time in the evenings ..come visit me in SL. I may possible be still sitting on the box.

The Best Sale Price

There is an awesome new service I heard about today. Its a shopping tool to assist you in finding the best deal on an item you are wanting.

Here is how it works. You're shopping at the mall ..and you find what you think is a good deal. You get your cell phone out and let Slifter find out if they can search the web at that very moment and find a better deal. And if so ...they place the order for you right then and there. Awesome!! Visit http://slifter.com for all the details!

Bookmarks

When I listen to my podcasts I often come across new information on new internet sites to visit and I want to share them with everyone. I am going to try and use the "label" or "tags" here in blogger to get this informaton out to those who want it. I will create a label called bookmarks. Anytime you would like to see what I feel is worthy of bookmarks ...just use my "bookmark" tag.

Black Friday with Brittany

I had one of my most enjoyable days spent with Brittany. Brittany and I set our alarms for 4:00 AM ..in order to be at the mall by 4:45 to stand in line for the mad rush of early bird specials. We had a blast!! At 12:30 we finally called it quits and headed back to our beds to catch up on the rest of our sleep for the day. My intent was to get into one of those Photo booths and get our picture taken ....but our legs wouldn't stop long enough from running to the sales. I had so much fun shopping with Brittany ....I am looking forward to repeating this again next year.

Just as a side note there is a new shopping holiday that is making getting put on calendars across this web. Its called Cyber Monday. This is when all the internet merchants have their special deals via internet style. If you want to see all the deals out there ...visit here http://cybermonday.com

A game of darts....good for the soul

A few weeks ago Robert and I started playing darts at Ron and Dreama's house. We really enjoyed the few times we played and decided it was time to hang on in the bar room. We got a really nice board list night at Dicks that is electronic and takes the steel tipped darts. Robert and I enjoyed a few games together last night before I quit to spend a little time with Brittany before heading to bed. I have been trying to hit the bed early since my head accident on Saturday. I thought that I would be heading to the doctor's office this week to get it checked out ...but it seems to be a little better today. I still can't put my head up against the head rest on the car ....but my neck is feeling better.

I am taking Wednesday off work so that I can get some cleaning done before Thanksgiving.

Brittany is getting calm again ...she seems to be very happy and thats all that matters to Robert and I. We are both looking forward to Thanksgiving and curling up on the sofa watching the Macy's Day Thanksgiving Parade while looking through the Black Friday sale ads in the papaer.

Friday Brittany and I are heading out on Black Friday to catch some of the early bird specials. This is my second Black Friday adventure ..and Brittany's first. I hope she wants to go next year after its all said and done on Friday.

Another Day on the Four Wheeler

A fun day ATVing!!! I will blog again this week ..and maybe a podcast too! But I wanted to get these pictures published! We had so much fun .....can't wait to get on the trails again.

ATVing!!! At Night and in the Rain!!!

Tonight Robert and my new toy was delivered. We got our first ATV. We waited for awhile to get one ....cause we had our hearts set on a certain one. As soon as the salesman left we hopped on our new four wheeler and rode circles in the yard. It was raining ....but the rain didn't stop us. We had a freakin blast! I jumped off for a bit and let Brittany ride with Robert for awhile ...she was laughing the entire way as she was holding on tight to Robert.

I see some fun days ahead! Thats all for now ...I have to start getting ready for bed since tomorrow is a work day!

Getting back to normal......

....or at least what be believe normal to be. This past week as been very trying on the nerves. But ..at the end Brittany got up this morning from her own bed and caught the school bus at 6:40 to take her back to the school she attended before Linsly.

It will be my mission over the next several months to spread the word of what Linsly has done to my daughter and to our family. On the day this all came to a head the Linsly school in Wheeling WV had to make a choice of integrity and choose not to display the school I believed them to be. I will be working with several resources to get the word out.

The Linsly school betrayed parental trust. The trust a parent has in a school is one that is earned. Never did I believe any school could show such signs of bad character and betrayal.

I believe an apology is in order.

It has taken me several days to calm myself and my daughter. My daughter was traumatized by the hand she trusted.

Brittany is home to stay

Its been a really tough few days for Brittany. At this time I am not going into details of how crazy things got over the past four or five days ...but it got nuts. My daughter Brittany is home to stay and will be returning to her old school this week.

Emotions are high this week and we get through all this. The most important part of all this is Brittany's happiness ....which is the only thing that has been driving me in all this.


Brittany needs some quality time with her family and everything will be okay.

As I calm down ...I will be writing the whole story from a mothers point of view.

Off Work Till Monday

Well ..this will be the longest "sick day" run I have eber had. I have been having a medical problem and the doctor has put me off work till Monday. I have mixed feelings about it. I am glad to be off work ....but not in this condition.

Robert is bowling tonight ..so I thought I would podcast ..WRONG! All my resources are down for upgrades or whatever ...so it might be a few days until I can publish the podcast I recorded tonight.

Brittany is coming home again this weekend ..and I am really looking forward to that. Last weekend we enjoyed our time together ..and I am sure we will this weekend as well.

I have been listening to some really awesome podcast. "The Rest of Everest" is totally awesone! ..so check it out!

This was just a short blog to say hello! ..hello.

...off to second life! See ya!

Its been too long...........

since I have blogged. This past week and a half have been filed pain, anzxiety and anger. I don't even want to go into it other than to say that a wwek and a halp later I am feeling better ...but thigns still are not resolved.

Other than dealing with my problems our life pretty much was uneventful. With all the time on the sofa I did get the opportunity to finish my ahfgan that I have been working on since last year. Its nice to finally have it folded at the bottom of the bed to have for a cold winters afternoon nap. I was very anxiuos to get it completed and ready to start another on after the beginning of the year.

I also dicovered that I LOVE The virtual game called Second Life. My avattar is Kimmy Goodnight ...so look me up when your in second life.
I didn't realize that there are millions of players. The game can get advanced as you like. So far no one has tried to kill me. I typically don't play video games because I have terrible hand and eye coordination. I have purchsed land and am learning to buld things. So far everything I own has been purchased ....but I hope to learn the 3d modeling sson.


I haven't podcasted in two week ....I just haven't felt like it. Maybe this week.

Brittany came home last night for a weekend at home. She won't be back until Tuesday the week of Thanksgiving. Her and I are planning a mother/ daughter Black friday shopping trip this year. Last year was the first time I went ....Dreama and I had a blast. Dreama has to work this year ...I still wanted to go ...so I am dragging my daughter with me. I think we will both have a good time.

I am having fun with Chirstmas this year. I am making all my christmas cards this year with some scrapbooking techniques I've learned ..and MOST all my gifts are personalized or handmade. Its been fun doing. I made a committment to myself that this year our gifts would be personal and not something that we just by and wrap.
However, I am not wondderwoman ...and drew the lines in a few places.

Although I am not totally up to par I am looking forward to head back to work. I will however miss my puppy dog ...he has been curled up to me snoring in my ear almost every day.

Robert and my prayers go out to our good friend Norma. We will her a sppedy recovery through this time of crisis. Our love and prayers with be with her daily until she gets through this.

Robert and I were supposed to head to Ron and Dreama's this evening. I was so looking forward to sharing an evening with them. We made the mistake of laying down for a nap ...and after waking up jsut really wanted to stay home cuddled up on the sofa with my baby ..my other baby, my laptop and the TV.

Look fora podcast this week!!
