Thanksgiving feast

Mashed potatoes, stuffing, turkey. Can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving. Time has flew by too fast.

Have work off so I'll be spending time with my family and will be enjoying stuffing food down my throat. Mostly what I do when I wake up on Thanksgiving morning is: watch the Ikea thanksgiving day Parade. It use to be called Boscov's, until Boscov's went out of business. Still enjoy it though. It's in Philadelphia. Also enjoy watching bands play, celebrities sing, all that stuff I enjoyed when I was a little girl.
When the parade is over, my parents and I listen to a radio station called: "Alice's restaurant" A long song, or story about a woman's restaurant and Piere Robert narrates the whole story, every year, never changes.

Also, big family. Mostly from my dad's side. My aunt brings her sweet potato casserole, and we get cranberry sauce (FROM A CAN) with the ridges on it. It's tradition in our house for sure. We sit at a real long table, serve ourselves after dad or my brother carves the turkey, and we gather around, say grace and be thankful for what we have and what is yet to come. We enjoy the conversation, and then we are so stuffed. Trying to save as much turkey for leftovers, but sometimes, it just a little hard to do sometimes if you're very hungry. Hope everyone has a nice, safe and happy Thanksgiving! Till then, Caio Bloggers

What I want in the future

I've been feeling a bit depressed lately, knowing that hopefully that next year, will be a little better.

What I'd like in the future, is to go back to school and finish up what I started. Work as hard as I can and hopefully, hopefully, get a bachelor's degree in writing. I don't feel comfortable working where I am. It's ok, the money, however is a little tight.

Been working four years and only made over one thousand dollars. Work for everybody, has been sad since so many people lost their jobs. Hopefully by next year...

what I would want in the future... is for everybody to get a job, or have their jobs back, war ended and so did cyber bullying and bullying as well.

The world became so difficult since 2000. Everything has changed, 3D tv's hi def all that, I know that it will soon be replaced with something beyond hi-tech, and what I want in the future... is to have a book I written of a story or poems, published for the masses to enjoy. One day, it'll happen, for now, I'll just dream about it. Till then, ciao bloggers, and happy Halloween

iCarly episode ideas

I watch this show called iCarly on Nick. That's like mostly the only show on Nick I'll see (next to Spongebob that is) I've been very much into that show since season two and ever since I've seen episodes, I get ideas for iCarly episodes. For instance, one episode, Freddie runs for class president again, but for some reason he's losing to a popular snobby girl named Nikki. She even bribes Sam with bacon she finds out Carly is going to use the power of iCarly to get votes for the school. Another would be all four are at a carnival in Seattle and Carly finds outs from a psychic that iCarly might end soon permanently. Also, Spencer gets kicked in the head by a mule and can see the future and it's up to him to find out the future of iCarly.

I have a lot of episode ideas. I would love for them to appear on an episode of iCarly one day. I just get ideas from my head watching any iCarly episode or when I'm walking. And sometimes it's not for iCarly, it could be for any TV show. Another iCarly episode idea would be Carly gets amnesia and doesn't realize who she is or she has a web show. Another would be she has to have an interview for her web show, and the woman giving the interview wants to go out with Spencer. Although, Nevel, their enemy has plans to foil the interview as well as the date so he can have the most popular web show.

If you don't watch iCarly, that's fine, I might not even publish these episode ideas, until I have the guts to do so. But it's fun to get my creative side out. It could be for anything, even this blog. But I have a lot episode ideas that just pour out of me like milk and I enjoy writing them, and one day, hopefully when iCarly is still on the air (and not big time rush, victorious or true jackson: those shows are horrible) maybe I'll show them my episode ideas and hopefully, one will air. I like iCarly. It's a good show, and the actors on the show, have really good talent, especially Miranda Cosgrove. Till then, Caio bloggers, and I know, my dream of having an episode idea will come true

Eleven years ago today

On October 1st, 1999, eleven years ago today. I was going to see the doctor since I wasn't feeling well. Well...


I was in the car, not feeling well. My dad took a day off of work as he drove me as I laid my head on my mom's lap. My brother was in school. We were in Philadelphia. Seemed I was going to be in Children's Hospital for a while.

I stayed for ten days in the hospital. Seemed I had congestive Heart Failure! Heart Failure! Those were the words I just never wanted to hear again. I had to have a procedure done on the seventh of October to see how my heart was doing. Everyone felt sorry for me. They gave me letters of encouragement, good well cards and balloons, stuffed animals. It was very nice of them to do that.

I had to get blood work almost every day. Watched Toy Story almost every day (my mom banned that movie ever since). My mom took the rest of the year off of work because of my illness. She took care of me every since. My dad always called from work to check on me. Sometimes I would be ill, other times OK.

On February, I started going back to school but only for half of the time. My mom would pick me up and we did my homework together, and when September came, my mom went back to school and one of the neighbors decided to watch me. She and I became really good friends, although we did have our differences.
I had a science and math teacher come to my house since February when I was sick. They would help me with my homework and caught me up to my class. They were a male and female, in their sixties I guess. It's been a long time.


I still think about that day, eleven years ago. But, October was always a cursed month for me ever since my Papa died in 98. I still remember what happened those elven year ago, and here I am, healthy and happy. Thanks to doctors, the teachers my friends, family and my mom. She deserved most of the credit. Today, I was just picturing that fateful day. Now you know why my hospital chart is so huge, till then... Caio Bloggers!

The End of Summer

Here it is, the end of summer! Kids are depressed, my mom is depressed, and it's starts to get colder as the heat dies down. It seems the summer had come, and left too soon. Not many people like autumn and I can tell that they don't want to see winter as well. (I don't blame them)

I don't mind it at all. I like autumn. Leaves change color and fall while we see holiday after holiday go by. I was born around the end of autumn, and yes I dread my birthday, but I dread all the holiday commercials that come before it.

We can still enjoy ice cream, but we won't be able to hear the bells play as the ice cream truck goes by. My mom is more upset that summer is over because she knows she's going to have to go back to school to teach again. I feel sorry for her.
But for the kids, not so much. But, they will get breaks, and they have their weekends.

What I'm happy about the end of summer is, no more repeats to watch on my favorite show (although, I don't watch a lot of TV) but, we get to see new seasons and hopefully, new series will stick around longer, but from the looks of it, I don't think so. I enjoy autumn and I enjoyed my summer. I spent it relaxing, working and went to see an air show, which was a lot of fun. (The T birds were the loudest).
The end of summer is sad of course, but there will be another one coming soon, but not soon enough. Enjoy the rest of the summer we have and the beginning of autumn. Ciao bloggers and happy labor day!

The Cleopatra Exhibit

Went to the Franklin Institute a few days ago, and they had a exhibit on Cleopatra the supposed last queen of Egypt. She was not one of those nice queens. She fell in love with many, including Julius Caesar and Antony. The exhibit had everything that explorers dug from the ocean outside Egypt, near Alexandria where Cleopatra's tomb was buried. I enjoyed the exhibit a lot and when she was only 39, she decided to end her life by a snake bite, but she was known for many things. Not pleasant things, but they made so many movies with actresses, such as Elizabeth Taylor, portraying her.
I enjoyed the exhibit, but I haven't been to that museum in many years. But I still learned something new about Cleopatra. Not only that she knew Antony and Caesar, but she married her three year old (it was either her brother or son I'm not sure). That's all I want to blog about for now. If I don't blog again till September, have a happy and safe labor day! Caio Bloggers!

Pizza: why I love it

Why am I making a post about pizza? Well maybe because, I LOVE PIZZA! What would my perfect type of pizza be? Well a pizza called a pizza margherita. What is a pizza margherita? Well, thanks to noble Queen Margherita of Savoy sometime in 1889, craved a new dish called 'pizza'. People started to question her, since they thought pizza was more of a peasant dish. But she wanted it anyway, so a chef made three pizzas for her, and the third one, my favorite, was the Margherita's favorite. The pizza has tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella and basil. It was the three colors of the Italian flag, and that's maybe another reason why the queen loved it. I always thought that since I love pizza margherita, I might have been Queen Margherita of Savoy in a past life, and I think I was.

I've been through so many pizzerias in my day, and tried many pizzas, and believe me, I still have more to go. Haven't been to New Haven's known pizzerias like Sally's Apizza and Frank Pepe's. I haven't tried Lombardi's, the first licensed pizzeria. I like New York style pizza a lot better than Chicago style. Chicago style is just too doughy for me. I admit that sometimes I'll order a pan pizza at pizza hut, however, I don't care much for those pizzas anymore. Now a days. I make homemade pizza, and it is good. Well that's all I wanted to say. Till then, Ciao bloggers, and pray for Haiti and the gulf waters!
