A HUG FOR YOU

This came to my email today.  I had to post it just for you as the

Thought for the Day:

A Hug Certificate for You!

If I could catch a rainbow,

I would do it just for you

And share with you its beauty

On the days you're feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain,

You could call your very own;

A place to find serenity

A place to be alone

If I could take your troubles,

I would toss them in the sea,

But all these things I'm finding

Are impossible for me.

I cannot build a mountain

Or catch a rainbow fair,

But let me be what I know best,

A friend who's always there.....

A hug from your friend, Esmee

LEARNING MORE ABOUT BLOGGER

Thought for the Day: 
Thursday's Child has far to go.


I'm back...


I am taking time to learn more about Blogger.  Today I want to change my templete to one I can get free on the internet.  Hopefully, I will have changed it by the time I sign off.  It is now 4:30pm CST.


I woke up this morning thinking about my blog and exactly what I wanted to be.  So far, I have decided in some form I want a section on Tips for the Household and just Living: recommedations on eating in Arkansas and maybe restaurants when we travel; OpEd: Opinions on current events and what pushes my "hot" button; poetry; books.  You see it is getting very convoluted.  I need some organization.  Ergo, this journey in "blogland".


It is now 8:30pm CST.  I got as far as changing my template to one of the Blogger selections.  I didn't go as far as to download one from the internet.  Maybe tomorrow.  It is time to quit for the day and read my book.  I am now reading "The Lady Innkeeper" by Barbara Metzger.


Until...


Yours, Esmee

A DAY OFF

Thought for the Day:  
Wednesday's Child is in the know


Sorry, I missed last night.  I am still tweaking the blog.  I haven't decided on my goals for the site.  It is a evolving process.  I have already changed my title once....more than once in my mind.  I have toyed with critiquing restaurants in Arkansas.  Then, I have resolved losing 10 pounds.  Eating out all of the time doesn't really jive with that resolution.  Also, we are trying to eat at home more and use our money for other things.  So much for that idea.


Speaking of critiquing restaurants, we went to Red Lobster tonight after we had seen Avatar.  It was excellent.  The salad bowls had been cooled and the bread plates had been heated.  All of the food was warm and well-prepared.  The service by Eliza was good. She paid attention, but didn't hover.  Thanks, Eliza.  Of course, the bisquits are wonderful...they were hot, too.  We give the Red Lobster a "Thumbs Up".  In the future expect a section for "eating out in Arkansas" when we do eat out.  We will not make it a passion.


On "Avatar":  It is a must see if just for the special effects and sound.  It left me breathless, heart beating fast and jaw clenched.  We have had dinner and are at home now.  I have almost relaxed.  It was a really "high incident" movie.  I had the same feeling when I left the second Indiana Jones movie.  A very high incident movie for its time.  Of course, I normally go to  "feel-good" movies like, "Julie and Julia" and "The Proposal".


Off to bed.  I go to work tomorrow from 9am to 12 noon.  Then, back to more learning about Blogger and also, Facebook.


Pleasant Dreams....Esmee
