Just A Average Weekend.

Hello My Friends.
What a week this has been. Hope all had a good one and working on a good weekend as well. Monday I reported that I was recuperating from TBRU in which I wasn’t in a very good mood that day at all. Mainly cause I didn’t take and extra day off to recover from it all. Still I managed to get through it. That same day one of my supervisors from work just wasn’t himself. It’s been something that been going on for the past three week plus I’m not sure but I think he was on probation when all this happened and later in the week ended up getting fired. I hate to see anyone loose their job but when you’re escorted of the property by the police well that’s a different story.

I received nine new kids this week which puts us into over crowed status on top of the nine I had to finish process since I took off Last Thursday and Friday to attend TBRU. No worry as next week we’re releasing 17 that have graduated from our program. Need to go to our headquarters next week to be fingerprinted as part of my recertification and background check. Yes I’m all good there as no hidden agenda in my closets. Wednesday I had to set up for out weekly meeting. My boss wanted to do the honors this time of bring the main dish and I did up a salad, drinks and fruit. Well I won’t go into what was said about her meal but I can tell you I was glad I ate before I went. However did get rave receives on my salad.

I didn’t go to work this Friday either as I had all intentions to go but had a flat on my fathers pickup, one ton and got filthy in the process as I was wearing light colored clothes so of course I couldn’t be in front of the public all dirty and things so I drove the 45 minute drive home again and took a good shower. At that point I was thoroughly exhausted so I just called them and told them I wasn’t coming in. One things it made me realize how out of shape I was and opened my eyes that I need to o better with myself that what I have been dong. So today I have started the gym again and walking as well as some running here soon. Hell I only pay 8 buck a month at Ballys but it’s just a hassle to get over there as here in Houston we’re still having traffic at 9 and 10 in the morning. 24 Hour fitness is a little easier to get to but I can’t see myself buying a new gym membership when I have one and been a member of since 1985. Doesn’t make since. Over all it was an eye opener to me for sure and is a motivating tool to get back to where I need to be. It started storming last night or early this morning with hail as well so I have and idea of what the weekend is going to be like. Well that’s about it for now. I hope all have a good weekend as I’m going to make the best of mine for sure. So until fingers meet keys all take care and looking forward to chatting with you all again soon. Hugs.

TBRU Over Till Next Year

Hello My Friends.
WOW! What a weekend this was. TBRU (TEXAS BEAR ROUND UP) what can I say about it. More eye candy that I can shake a stick at that’s for sure. All I can say is Dallas know how to treat their guest that’s for sure. However I must of work up on the wrong since of the bed as I have been in a bad mood all morning on top of that I get to work and I had nine new intakes paper work waiting to be process. Man this is starting to be come like TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS. Kids are just running wild is all. Question is will Houston get a hold of it before it’s out of hand. Their surely not building anymore facilities, well I take that back as we’re converting one of our abandon buildings to hold more residents.

Will did show up but he and I didn’t spend a lot of time together and looking back on it I feel there is someone else in the picture however I’m not whole hearted about it we’re bother adults and I do wish him well. I want talk ill of him but there does come a time when you cry wolf once to often. We’ll remain friends and I’ll leave it at that. Did a few interviews over the weekend and I’m told there were over 800 men in attendance and that wasn’t including the walk in’s. Meet up with some of you I’ve been chatting with on line and made some new friends as well. Over all I would say it was good time for all. Good thing was I didn’t see any lude behavior going on but did see a lot of drinking but it was all good as most of them used the shuttle to get back and forth during the run. Although I was out doing interviews and taking pictures I managed to have some fun out of it. I do hope all had a good time and enjoy they’re weekend as well. About it for now as I’m still a little moody here at work but I have my office door closed and making some head way of work as well. So until fingers meet keys all have a good week and I’ll make the best of it as well. Hugs my friend and do take care.

ST. Patrick's Day

Hello My Friends.

Not a lot going on this Saturday weekend. St Patrick's day today and although I sported a little green I haven't done much to celebrate it. I thought about going to see my ex but quickly dismissed that idea as I really don’t need to get caught up in that. However I have been thinking about him a lot lately. I guess because I haven’t heard from him in about three weeks. I guess he's pissed at me but I guess that to shall pass. I do wish him well as he would have made a good man but he just has a lot of issues that he needs to deal with and last I heard from him he was seeking help so that's a big plus instead of sitting around feeling sorry for himself. I look at it this way it was his loss not mind as I did all I cold to save the relationship during the time he and I were together. Went over to see my sister today and update her computer as I knew my nephew didn’t do what he should have done. I kind of like some of the new features of Vista and looking forward to working with it later on but I dare not buy it yet until they get some of the bugs out of it.

Went to see my father as well as he’s doing fine. Just ready to get out of the hospital is all. Mother is doing well and good the hospital is only 7 minutes away so that’s a plus. Then again she’s been out for spring break so it’s not she had to leave work and go over there. She’s finally going to retire this after this year in which I’m glad to hear as she’s way too old to be driving up and down the road back and forth to work. Still it’s been keeping her busy and that’s a good thing.

Second issue is becoming a challenge but I like a good challenge these days. All set for TBRU (Texas Bear Round Up) next week. Will be a fun time and looking forward to doing some interviews and picture taking as well as selling some publications. Well that’s about it for now so until fingers meet keys hugs to you all and chat soon my friend.

It's Been One Of Those Weeks.

Hello My Friends

Well it’s Friday and I hope all are having a better day than I am. For the past three Fridays the courts have been sending me new intakes and I have to tell you today I’m not a happy camper at all. Looks like paper work isn’t going to get done for that until Monday as I’m not about to kill myself to get it done before I leave tonight. Bad pat is they probable won’t send them until seven tonight. I can’t wait to hit Dallas next week for some R&R time. I’m so mad right now that I’m actually seeing stars. Just I’m sick and times of all this. Every Friday however my assistant superintended doesn’t have to balls to say something but since my superintendent is on vacation we have no choice in the matter. Still I’ll get over it as I usually do. Now I know what Michael Jackson men when he says it makes you want to scream.

Father is still in the hospital but good news he didn’t have to have surgery as they are going to treat his problem with medication. NO big plans this weekend. Finishing up most of the publication to have it ready to release in April. Sale have slowed some but that’s to be expected. However will promote it hard during TEXAS BEAR ROUND UP next week. Will sounded like he would show up but I’m not holding my breath there. Doing pad cast for www.bearpodcast.com Monday night to promote the publication as well. That should be fun as well.

Weekend looks to be nice and since March madness is on I will be able to catch up on my videos and things. Brother wants me to change out some planks in our back yard as our neighbors decided to have dogs and they keep peeping through the planks to get at the cats that like to play in our back yard. That whole ordeal is another story in itself so I won’t even go into that. Just know we haven’t been happy with our neighbors. Even other neighbors in our neighborhood have been happy with them either. Three houses on the main street in which I live on have gone up for sale. I hope all do have a good weekend even though some of you are having bad weather. Finally adjusting to the daylight savings time as I’m I kind of like it since it makes my day go by pretty fast. Before you know it 9:30 and it’s time to go. Well hope all have a good weekend and chat soon so until fingers meet keys all do play safe and have a good one.

Spring Forward, Daylight Savings Time

Hello My Friends

Well it looks like I’ve only been able to update this thing once a week. Really I’ll try to do better but with the business taking off so and my father back in the hospital I really haven’t had that much time. However things are going good. As I mention we had to place my father back in the hospital again for his diabetes. He developed a blister on both his feet and they don’t seem to want to heal. I won’t go how bad it looked but the only way I describe it is skinning a fish. As of Saturday they say he’ll be ok so that’s good news there.

Work was a bitch on Friday yet again. I told my superintendent that something is going to have to be done as they can’t keep sending us kids on unscheduled days and she agreed. Friday since the courts have allows some of our kids when they reached a certain level can go home on a weekend home visit. Well lately that’s been close to 15 to 20 kids and if I get 5 new intakes in well that throws the whole day off which is what happen this past Friday. Needless to say folders didn’t get completed that Friday. Since I have seven days to complete a file I have time as that will be priority one on Monday. As long as I got them inputted to show there were at my facility that’s fine. Learned my boss will be on vacation next week as it’s spring break going on too. However it should be a nice week without here looking over our shoulders.

Did a photo shoot on Monday and it really went well and he had a nice time doing it as well. Got two more today as well. Business has slowed down some but still promoting it as it’s a growing there. However somewhat disappointed that some of my closes friends haven’t bought one but I’m not bitter over it. Things like this take time to build and now that I have gotten it launched it’s time to build it to grow as I have always told folks I won’t be one of those standing in the doorway or Wal-Mart saying, “Welcome to Wal-Mart.” This will be something to fall back on when I do retire. However been making plans to travel to different events as well as making arrangements to do photo shoots as well.

Vehicle is still down as well as the battery. My dad mentioned I need run it to keep the battery up even though it does need a new motor in it. However the tags have expired so I don’t even pull it out of the garage. That’s my next goal to get that back in running order as I’m not happy driving my father pickup but it’s getting me back and forth to work and here and there when I need to. My father has always been one to keep work vehicles and this one you can say is definitely one of those vehicle. It’s not one you would want to take if you were going to a function.

I haven’t heard from my ex in two weeks as I guess he’s pissed at me. I have been wanting to see him as I have so many un answered question but I dare not go up there as I don’t want to be involved in that at all. Got another letter on Saturday of last well from another ex as I come to find out he was in fail for the last ten months for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. He was due to get released on the March 9.2007. I haven’t bothered to call or get in touch as he’s been a bad egg all along. I really have to wonder what’s wrong with me that I’m always attracting bad element men. Could it be my back ground in law enforcement? One only know. Well that’s about it for now so until finger meet keys I hope all had a nice weekend and an even better week. I’ll try to do better on updating my blog as well. Just been a lot of changes going on in my life and thank goodness for the better. So again all take care and hope the weekend has been good to you. Hugs.
