In Memory Of...
Today would have been my Daddy's 62nd Birthday. He passed away 2 years ago and I miss him very much. I was Daddy's Little Girl and I found this poem and one part of it described my feelings for my Daddy.
"It hurts me more than words can say that God took you away
For in my heart you will live on forever and a day.
I miss you and I love you so and wish that you were here
But I know that no matter what I do my wish cannot appear.
I need you now more than I ever have but what am I to do
The only thing that I have left are my memories of you.
I will not again be your little girl for you have gone away
But in my heart your little girl I will forever stay.
When the time comes for me to go I know I won't be sad
Because once again I'll get to say, I really love you Dad."

Doctor Visit
To give you a little history, I've been trying to have a baby for the past 2 years and having no success. Actually the reason I started this blog was because I was 11 days late this month and thought I was pregnant. I wanted to start a blog to keep track of my pregnancy.
Anyway, needless to say; I'm not pregnant. So, today, I'm off to the doctor. I'm 37 and wondering now if maybe I'm going thru Menopause. I've read a little about Menopause, but not sure I fully understand it. Guess I'll find out more this afternoon.
I've heard a lot of women get pregnant when they go thru Menopause, maybe I'll be that lucky!!

Daylight Savings Time
Here is an clip from a story I was reading on CNN this morning:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- An agreement was reached Thursday to extend daylight-saving time in an effort to conserve energy, but not to the extent the House approved in April.
House and Senate negotiators on an energy bill agreed to begin daylight-saving time three weeks earlier, on the second Sunday in March, and extend it by one week to the first Sunday in November. The House bill would have added a month in the spring and another in the fall.
I think this will be a good thing...however, I never understood how someone has the authority to change time? Guess it's just the Government playing God again.

Harry Potter
I went to Walmart @ Midnight of the 15th to get my long awaited Harry Potter book. I started reading it as soon as I got home around 12:30. I read 3 chapters and hoped the rest of the book wouldn't be like the 3 chapters I just finished reading. I won't go into details, since I know some people may not have read it yet, however; don't be discouraged with the beginning chapters. It does get better, trust me.
Chapter 28 is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TV Dinners
Every morning I read CNN.com and this morning I saw this article, "Inventor of TV Dinner dies at 83"
I remember eating TV dinners when I was little and them not tasting so bad. Always had to make sure when we bought them, they included a dessert. Now that I'm older, I don't find TV dinners as good as they used to be. I find that in more and more food I eat as I'm older.
For example, I used to love Dots Candy as a kid and now they are just so bland and not appealing to me. On this site, there is a lot of Old Candy that I used to enjoy but don't think I could stomach today. Wax Lips???
Does anyone else feel that way? Is there a candy that you just loved as a child and found again as an adult and thought how did I eat this?

Could it Be??
Could it be that I have finally finished my Blog template? It looks that way to me and I even added a video section that I haven't seen on a blog. I'll try to change the video daily so that you can enjoy the types of music that I listen to. Thanks to Shane (my boyfriend), for helping me.
There are a few things I need help on.
1) How do I put the recent comments in it's own section on my page?
2) When you click on a link, it disappears; then when you go back to my page, it isn't there?
3) How do I get the search feature on the right hand side of my page or will it eventually move there with more entries that I write?
If anyone can help; please feel free. Thanks, in advance.

Maybe, Just Maybe....
Ok, I have my layout as I semi want it. I'm still configuring and playing around on here. However, I think I may have the hang of it. Stay tuned for more Blogging for Dummies (it should be Blogging by Dummies). Speaking of myself, of course.

Please, forgive me
I'm new to this so please forgive me as I am not a good writer. As you will all soon realize. A friend of mine has a blog and I read it daily and enjoy it so much it inspired me to create my own. I hope you all enjoy reading mine as much as I enjoy hers. Maybe, one day, I'll be an inspiration to someone.
Enjoy and Happy BLOGGING!!
