MAGGIE'S MONDAY MADNESS






BALLOON GIRL!



I received a balloon on November 17th the day before my anniversary, so you all are probably thinking 'that's nice, she received a balloon' BUT this balloon is still floating straight up. There were two other balloons that didn't last 2 weeks, but this one is still standing tall. The reason I am mentioning this is because this balloon was the one that said "I love you", not the "Happy Anniversary ones.

It reminds me everyday that someone loves me and cares about me. I have a special husband that takes his time to remember me on special days and he also remembered my favorite flowers, which by the way are sunflowers. But back to the balloon, it also reminds me of another Person that loves me and His infinite love, it is always straight up and He remembers everything about us, He knows our wants and needs, are weakness and strengths,

He remembers all our special days.

Anytime you get a chance to tell someone you love them, like them, or were just thinking of them DO IT! Whether you send flowers, balloons, a text or just call never waste the opportunity. This past weekend I went to a bridal shower and we had to give the bride advice for her marriage, the advice I gave was to surprise each other with little gifts and notes even when it is not a special occassion.

It always makes a person feel loved and special when they are remembered.
So until next time, have a great day and make it count. MMM

p.s. it is still amazing that this balloon has floated for 2 months, think I'll call Ripley.

Well Monday didn't kill me and I am in a better mood today. My friend Melissa said she would find my hair stuff I have been looking for and get it for me this weekend. My next conquest is to
get a good flat iron for my hair.
When I got ready to leave work last nite I looked at the gas gauge and saw it was on 'E', so went to get gas and than went to CVS looking for this stuff for my hair which they did not have. So that made my mood worse. So I went home with my tank 1/2 full and a toothbrush.

But I know that I shouldn't let the little things bother me, I have a home to go to, and a car to drive (though borrowed), and friends to help me through the rough spots in life. I am greatful for these things and more.

Oh and by the way, did you all see Tebow in the news in nothing but he underwear (poor fellow), but I heard a grown man carry on about him and how he looked as if he was a teenage girl, it was hysterical. Just thought I throw that in to lighten the mood.
It will be interesting to follow him over the next few years to see how he does as he becomes established in the NFL.
It is wonderful to have an exceptional role model like this young man, I hope that all his hopes and dreams come true. No one deserves it more, when you put your heart and soul into what you have work so hard all you life to achieve but have kept your perspective on where you have come from and who is the real Leader in your life. Go Tebow and Go Gators.
until next time, keep it real.

MAGGIE'S MONDAY MADNESS

Another Monday has come and gone. For some it started out pretty rough, my husband had a break in at one of his collection centers and had to run out of the house this morning to meet with the Sheriff's office, and news about other friends issues started mine off with a bang.
Some people can be so heartless and cruel and totally selfish.
But as my day wore on it wasn't as hectic as some Mondays have been. But with that said I still ended up in a bad mood. My husband let me know that he had figured our taxes and we may end up OWING this year, YOCH! That has never happened before, and I am hoping that he figured something incorrect and it won't be so.
But still it's nice to come home to a nice warm home with food to eat and a kitty to climb on my lap b/c he missed me today and of course a husband that loves me.
So until next posting, have a good week and make it count.
Maggie

Well Friday night is off and running, my started by getting to pick up my new glasses, still trying to get used to them, but I really like the way they look.

Tomorrow I and some of my family will be traveling to Daytona Beach to celebrate the pending wedding of my nephew and his fiance at their wedding shower.



All the pictures that you will see on my blogs are pictures that I have taken. I really enjoy photography and just recently have gotten back into it. When I was in high school I took a photography class and did really well. My teacher had told us at the beginning of the year that no one ever got an 'A' in his classes, I got 3. I also had a photograph entered into the Tampa State Fair along with some other classmates and we got to go see them. Mine was of a tree (black and white) but the lighting made it look like it had snow on it. That is why even today I still love b/w pictures. I wish I still had a copy of it.
Okay enough of me being a braggart, but everyone should toot their own horn, we should all display our talents because someday we may have something that someone else could use or would need.
Well here's hoping Monday isn't too crazy, but than again that's why this is called 'Maggie's Monday Madness' until then, make it count.

If you would take note of the picture here and you will see a cat, yes a cat asleep in his bed. If you read my first blog from yesterday you will remember that I mentioned him asleep in his bed, I just had to send this picture so show you all that he is in fact one spoiled, pampered cat.

Well this should be an exciting weekend, have a bridal shower to attend for my future niece-in-law. So come Monday I should have

plenty to say, until then everyone have a great, safe, happy weekend.

1/21/10 Well here goes, my first post and my first time ever blogging. I hear so much about this that I thought I would give it a go.
So, I am going to start my Monday Madness on a Thursday. If you take a moment to look at my picture I have posted here on my page you will notice that it is of a big huge black cat. This cat is obviously very special, I have dozens and dozens of pictures of him. He has a personality like no other cat I have ever owned (or has owned me). Some of my blogs may be about him and his life.
So you are asking what's this got to do with Monday, well since this week my Monday was actually on a Tuesday because of a holiday but the reason for even mentioning Monday and
cat in the same sentence is the fact the when I got ready to leave to go to work Tuesday a.m.
I looked down, on the floor, beside my bed and there curled up looking so peaceful was my cat
going back to bed after he had been fed breakfast I was thinking, what a life. To be a cat and to be secure enough knowing that someone will take care of you and protect you, that he can sleep as soundly as he does (I have heard him exhort little snores before). He does not sleep with one
eye open, nor always listening.
So after reading this and pondering it, think about this, we sleep at night comfortable in our beds, knowing that somewhere out there we are being protected and cared for. You may think that it is the police department, the military, or whatever you want, but I am looking to something much bigger than all of us.
