So I got a call from my daughter the day before I was leaving to visit her in the Dallas area. She was SO excited. She waited on a group of business type men and women. She got to talking to them and they really liked her service and how she presented herself.

Are you one of those that get the hiccups a lot? I work with a girl that when she gets them the only way to cure them is to literally scare her. While THAT is fun hiccups can be irritating. Especially to the person who has them.

Do you love vegetables? Do you loathe them? Well it may be something you can blame on your parents either way.

I had a dilemma. I was about to go out of town for a few days but wanted to make sure my dogs were fed. There are some people who can leave enough food out and they would be OK. Not me I have a plump dog and a very skinny one.

So it took me a bit to calm down so I could write this story. I experienced something the other night that I have never have before and to be honest I am OK if I never again.

Who is ready for Christmas? I mean I am not talking about having all the Christmas presents bought. Though I feel you may have started a little of it.

It is not uncommon to go into a place of business and see someone with headphones in their ears. Especially if they work in an office environment. If not headphones at work...maybe they have a radio on or it is playing through their computer.

I took a few days to visit my daughter in the Dallas area. This is the first trip I got to take since I obtained my TSA Precheck status. I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I didn’t feel having it leaving Amarillo was as important as heading back from Dallas last Wednesday.

I will go out right here and say I am not a fan of the colder weather. Heck, I am not even a fan of how cold they keep the office. I feel I am ALWAYS cold.

This can really be a magical time of year. I mean all the great things to come. The Christmas lights....music and trips to see Santa.

We almost have a full work week with the time change under our belt. Whether we love the change or hate it. It happened and we have to just deal with it. There has been debate if we should put an end to it.

We are a little over 3 weeks away from the big day. Thanksgiving will be here before you know it. Do you want your Thanksgiving to be the talk of town? No I am not talking about family drama or burnt food.
