We have a new addition in our home. Her name is Isis and she is a cat. She has been wandering around our home for awhile now and we finally decided to take her in. we took her to the vet in order that she could get all her shots. She is all set and the vet says she is very healthy.

She is still learning to get along with our other two cats. One is blackie and the other is minkze. They are all adjusting slowly but I think they’ll be fine. Well, I off to the supermarket to get some more food and treats!

I need to learn to say “no.” I have always been one of those people who take more on than they can handle and end up doing the grunt work in organizations. I remember this happening since I was in grade school. I would volunteer to do too much on group projects and would end up doing the whole thing. Right now, I have overcommitted myself with my job, at home, and at my church. I decided last week that this had to stop. In one day: I worked until lunchtime, ran home to let the people from Direct Star Tv in for installation, picked up lunch for everyone at the office, mailed some things for my husband, ran back to the office and worked until five, ran home and picked up sandwiches I made for our bridge group (even though I wasn’t playing that day), ran to the church for two meetings, ran home to fix dinner, and then had to go back to the office. I nearly had a mental break down at the end of the day. I realized I had just been doing too much. I have got to learn to say “no” or my schedule is going to kill me.

I was walking down the street the other day when I happened to notice a pretty girl coming the other way. As I am always interested when a pretty girl comes along, I started a conversation with her. She said she had just gotten off the bus and was on her way home. I knew I wanted to talk with her some more and so I spoke about the uniform she had on. She looked like she was a nurse or something.

She told me that she had just gotten off from work at the hospital. She works as a nurse and takes care of patients. Since I had commented on her clothes, she told me more about them. She said she bought the clothes online from a site called http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/. She liked the site because they sold nursing uniforms at a cheap price. She also liked the styles of clothes they had.

She said that when it comes to medical scrubs, this site had it all. They have a wide selection as well as low prices and they deliver the clothes to your home. The conversation quickly ended as she had to go but I still remember what she said. It’s nice to meet new people and broaden your outlook on life.

One of the hottest stars in recent memory has been Lady Gaga. She has 17 albums and counting and has appeared in dozens of TV shows as well as an appearance on American Idol. Her latest newly released album is called Born This Way and it has people talking.

One problem with the album though is that it did not sell as well as it did last week. This has her sales team in an uproar. A record setting drop-off in record sales this week has them concerned. Nevertheless, she is doing fine and I am sure she will have a lot of success in the future.

This Memorial Day weekend is going to be a lot of fun. We have plans for every day that include water, sand, cold drinks and good friends. We might even have a barbecue at the house and put some steaks on the grill. I bought a bag of charcoal so we would have it on hand, just in case. Of course, if I can get someone else to do the cooking, it is that much sweeter for my holiday enjoyment!
