Off the Grid!

Hello Everyone,

I am so sorry that I have been off the grid this week however I had to prioritizes my work.  Some of you know exactly what I mean.  There are simply times where we become bombarded with work and things of life that causes us to disappear for a little while or just until things get settle for us. 

For me it is always school work in the last two weeks of each semester.  See, I attend an accelerate program for my Masters at Keller University, and each semester is only 8 weeks long.  Midterms are always on the four week and finals, you guess it, are during the 8 weeks.  Depending on the topic I may have to go straight to Trader Joe's and get a few bottle of wine so that I can still objective.  Yes I need help with that! (Sidebar:  for those of us who are in IT, when it comes to writing those proposals you know you need a drink! Stop playing! I am writing them in school, I can image what you are writing in the real world!)  Now I need a drink! (Water has been excused!)  Let me describe the feeling that goes thru me after reading 30 pages straight out of 88 or more - numbness in the body and brain dead. 

For some of us focusing on what needs our utmost attention is time consuming in the thought process itself.   Focusing for other take lot of them where they need a nap.  I can say that has happen to me on many occasions where I simply do not want to think about nothing just for a few sec.  (Sidebar: how of you do this?  You sitting at desk or in a meeting and you close your eyes for just a sec and drift off into lala land.  You know that you drift because you caught your bobbin like yo-yo!)   The usual position that we are all familiar with is sitting at the desk with elbows on the desk and our hands crossing, and we lend our head up against our hands, and we close our eyes for just a few minutes.  The next thing you know someone is calling your name.  It's the boss!

Keeping to ourselves with just a few select friends is always good because you don't want everybody knowing what is going on with you until you have completed what it is you need to do.  The less people who knows what is going on the better because you don't have to hear some of the comments that people would that would cause you to worry.  Don't need the drama!! 

With that said, I am back to my humorous self with all these thoughts just flowing around in my mind to share with all of you!  Especially my family members down in Texas because Q can't be the only funny one . . . . . okay, yes he can! (Q you can stop twisting my arm now!)

Learning Language and Love

Okay so once again I was reading in my favorite book, The Book of Questions when I became stuck on this question: If it was the only way you could remain with the love of your life, would you be willing for both of you to wake up tomorrow as native speakers of an unfamiliar foreign language, knowing the within a week you’d permanently forget the languages you now speak and largely be cut off from your friends and culture?  If so, what new language would you want to speak, and why? The first thing that came to mind was who would not want a lover or have the thought of having that foreign lover who could either speak French and Italian.  I know I did and I think that is why I took up Spanish in high school for the last 2 years. Then when I got in college, I continue with my Spanish and I took up Russian, Greek and Italian. Crazy right? Considering the Greek and Russian alphabets are so similar and that Spanish and Italian have some similar words. It was not until 9 years later

I love Haters!

It is going to come off as being sarcastic or sadistic however just let me tell you the truth.  I really do love Haters!  Their negative energy gives me the best energy to keep moving forward in accomplishing my goals. I am not going to argue with as why they hate because I am being me.  Think about it!  Do you even know why your Haters hate you? What did you do for them to hate you?  I bet you don't even know why, do you?  I thought of some reasons why Haters hate. Your accomplishments stands greater than they actual do, even with heels on!  The fact that you are willing and able to go out there and get that education to empower yourself is a threat to them.  Other than finishing high school, what else did you with your education?  Since 2008, I have obtain an A.S. in English, a Master Certificate in Telecommunication Technology, an Executive Certificate in the Cloud and in IT Security, a B.A. in Computer Network Management and I am currently working on my Master in Informati

Being that Empty-Nester

Okay to all parents who are sitting around wondering what do I do now that the kids are gone? Surely most parents have thought about this question. “ What do we do once the kids have moved on with their lives?”  I did not have to ask that question because I could not wait for Nick to get his ass out the house and stay out!! I was feeling a new sense of freedom dancing around around the house and emptying a bottle of wine in my own celebration.  However that was me and you may have your own ideal as to what you want to do. It is just where to start, right? I think I tired several times before I have to force him to not return.  (Well, he had already enrolled in the Army to go full time so I thought it was the perfect opportunity for him to get his shit in order).  And I am so glad that he did. However I was already doing the empty nest thing before Nick even finished high school.  I had joined the Illinois National Guard and I was release with an honourable medical dischar
