Betty Be Blogging!
Most nights I fall asleep with the TV on. I usually wake up in the middle of the night and can’t go back to sleep without the darn TV on. One of my favorite channels is The Comedy Channel. The show “Josh.O” just cracks me up and he is easy on the eyes as well. His big smile is great!
Sometimes he goes a bit too far my taste, but of course if and when that happens all I have to do is change the channel and find some thing else to entertain or bore me back to sleep.
At the grocery store today I asked the cashier for the store manager, poor guy was ready to freak out on me. I had to assure him that it wasn’t anything negative and nothing to do with him. I wanted to tell the store manager about a certain employee that I see there from time to time that always gives me the biggest smile and a hug and how much I appreciate all that he does in his work there.
The store manager came out and I told him my little story and he thanked me for taking the time out to tell him a good thing about an employee, seems they don’t get many of those these days!
This has got to be one of my all time favorite wedding videos to date that I have found and shared on YouTube. Most of the great, crazy, fun filled dancing that we are seeing video taped from wedding these past couple of years are taking place after the wedding at the reception, often the Father and Daughter’s first dance are being choreographed or the best men or brides maids are showing off their talents on the dance floor. But as you can see, if you actually watch this video, this dance takes place right before the ceremony and there isn’t a single person seen on the video that isn’t smiling, clapping, tapping, dancing or laughing.
With the economy being as it is today, eating out has become more of a luxury for our family dining. Although the kids like to patronize the fast food places, my husband and I prefer to go somewhere a little more interesting. On this occasion we decided to check out a new restaurant that had just opened and after battling with the kids over where to go, we set the security alarm and headed out. When we arrived at the new Red Elephant, we were very surprised with what we saw, as were the kids. Inside the decor was a wonderful mix of hand painted murals, featuring all sorts of wild animals.
The kids were totally in awe and had to take time to search them all out. They even wandered into the arcade, which to them, was the greatest thing on earth. The menu had everything an adult might want to eat, as well as pizza and burgers for the younger set. Large screen tv’s were in every corner, so grown-ups could watch the news, as well as sporting events. The evening was a huge success and I think the kids may have, at least for the time being, forgotten about that famous fast food place. Must say that the elephant ears on the menu were the icing on the cake.
Tonight I checked the sky for witches on brooms. Didn’t see any and I wonder what I would have done if I had seen a witch!
Actually I am intrigued with witches and witchcraft. I know of several women who say they are good witches and they don’t really make a big deal about it around us. I say if they have any powers to help people and they don’t cause any harm, then they should be able to do whatever they want to do without being harassed or persecuted.
So, if you are a witch – have a Happy Halloween!
I have always had a lot of respect for truckers. Certainly not a job that I could handle. My brother-in-law started driving an 18 wheeler 5 two years ago and always has the most interesting stories to share about his life on the road as I’m sure all truckers do. I was surprised to find out that most truckers don’t use CB radios anymore since cell phones and the Internet came along. He explains that now a days the majority of the people who even use a CB radio are the drug dealers and the lot lizards that are looking for “a date” for the evening (or at anytime really, truckers are found on the road all hours of the day and night, every day of the week.
My sister has no interest in going out of the road with him, not even for just a local run that would have her home in plenty of time to deal with all the other things that keep working women so busy 24/7. I’d love to go on a road trip with him. He is a good guy with a wicked good sense of humor that doesn’t get on my last nerve as quickly as so many other people do.
I have been wanting to see the Yogi Bear movie for several years now. So this weekend a girlfriend of mine and I going to the mall, doing some shopping (using some of the gift cards that we got for way back at last Christmas) and then we are going to watch Yogi Bear and his side kick Boo Boo. I used to love watching the Yogi Bear cartoons while growing up so I’m a real fan of Yogis and I can only hope that this movie does him justice.
I have always enjoyed watching the Flash Mob videos that would pop up once in a while on the TV. I can’t believe that it didn’t even occur to me that I could Google “Flash Mob” and come up with plenty of these hilarous Flash Mob videos that I so enjoy seeing. I really wish that I could participate in something like this, so today I am Googling “Flash Mob” and see if I can find any that I haven’t seen all ready and see if I can find information on how to be a participant in something like that.
Wish me luck and if anyone out there knows how to get involved in a Flash Mob, please let me know. I’m having issues with getting videos from YouTube on here, it’s really starting to piss me off and I can’t seem to find anyone that can help me find out what is different now and how to fix it. I really wanted to post my favorite “Flash Mob” video on here entitled “Frozen Grand Central” it is a perfect example of so many people getting together and doing something just for the sake of messing with people’s minds! Gotta love it!!!!!
I’m so glad that they have finally come up with more girl games. For the longest time most of the video games were targeted to the male species and a big push was made to make more girl games available. It took a while but it is now obvious when you look on the shelves at the gaming stores.
I took my niece out to the local Game Stop store last weekend. She had received numerous gift cards from Game Stop, by her request of course and wanted to go purchase some new games for her Wii. I enjoy taking her out shopping, I don’t rush her and she is relaxed and has a chance to take it all in and make wise decisions. When she goes with her mother it is rush rush and let’s keep it moving, which isn’t fun at all when there is so much to take in, ya know.
Not only are there more video girl games, but there are a lot more girl games online these days as well such as are offered at easygirlgames dot com. My niece is the perfect ages for most of the games. She will be turning 10 next month and is still into Barbies, Unicorns and Bratz, big time. Hard to imagine that she will be a teen-ager in a few short years and who knows how that will all play out!
Today’s technology is really making things happen, we aren’t quite up to speed with what the “Jetson’s” portrayed the 21st century to be, but they certainly hit the nail on the head with so many things that it is uncanny to watch this show that is still on some of the cartoon channels that I get with my satellite programming package.
On thing that has become a reality is the video conferencing services , we became accustomed to seeing his boss, Mr. Beasley coming onto the home monitor to speak with George Jetson at any given time. That certainly was something that no one thought would be a reality any time soon, oh how little did we know.
Today we have the convenience of web and video conferencing at our disposal, thanks to the Internet and all it has to offer us all. One only has to launch their web browser and click on a link. No more waiting to get people in the same place at the same time, in a matter of minutes you can get on with your business at hand and get the job done with so much less hassle and expense.
Since webcams have become much more affordable and access to the Internet so main streamed, any business can have the ability to teleconference. This has become a much less complicated process that now allows anyone to start holding a secure online conference to use as a great communication tool.
Now I can’t wait to see when cars start flying as they pictured them doing on The Jetson’s!
