Remembering 9-11

Hey...do you remember what you were doing 8 years ago today?

My ex-husband had his pickup truck repo'd and I had to drive him from Hampton, VA, to Richmond, VA, to get it. My daughter and I were driving back when the 2 planes hit the two towers and I was so shocked. When I got home from taking my daughter to school and I was getting ready for work, I heard that the plane had went down in Pennsylvania and one had hit the Pentagon.

I worked Customer Service for UPS at the time at a call center and we weren't getting ANY calls from the east coast. When we did start getting calls from the west coast, people couldn't understand why they couldn't send anything to the east coast. They started to get mad because none of them had seen the news. It was an interesting to say the least.

Keep the families of the victims in your thoughts and prayers today.

WARNING - Crazy Ramblings Ahead

I just want to warn every one that they may not like what they have to read in my blog postings. This blog is for me and my sanity and if I happen to say something that offends my readers, I really don't care. This isn't for you. Quit reading if you don't like what I'm saying or feeling.

I just wanted to give everyone a "heads up" that I will more than likely vent about everything and everyone in my life and it may hurt someone's feelings or make them mad or whatever. It's my right to vent whenever I feel like it.

So, this is my very first attempt at keeping a journal/blog. Saw it in "Julie & Julia" and thought, "I can do that". Maybe I can make some new friends and keep my stress level low.

A little about me. I'm 42, will be 43 on Sept 23rd. OMG I'm old!!! I have a 14 year old daughter who is a freshman in high school. She plays volleyball and the violin and is a very good artist. She wants to go to art school after high school. We have a cat who owns us and her name is Kitty.

I served in the USAF from July 30, 1986, until November 15, 1994. I was stationed in Texas, Mississippi, Texas again and then Arizona. I've traveled to Korea, Germany and Panama.

I work 2 jobs...1st as an office assistant for an apartment complex from 9am until 2pm Monday thru Friday and my 2nd is a Large Print Assembler for a color processing lab from 4pm until midnight Sunday thru Thursday.

I'm a single mom and haven't had a date in over a year so I'm a bit out of practice.

That's it for now...take care!
