Hello everyone:
I know that I have not posted recently, but my daughter has just joined Kaplan to finish her degree in Paralegal studies and I have been trying to help her get adjusted with the discussion boards and the syllabus for her classes. Right now, she seems to enjoy them, but this is just her first week of class we will see how she feels after the first semester.
One of her professors has told her that because she can speak and write six different languages she would be an asset to any firm who hired her.
Well, I need to get started on my work for school, so I will speak with everyone later.

Fire and Ice
February 15, 2010
Today, I spoke with my friend Diane in New York, and we have decided to have a fire and ice formal ball in the summer of this year or early spring of next year. We will give the formal on one of the dinner boats in New York either the Spirit of New York or the World Yacht Cruise dinner boat. Everyone will have to wear something with red and white in it. Diane has chosen to wear a formal ball gown that is red with a sweetheart neckline, I am wearing a white beaded dress with bell sleeves. We are paying for the room on the boat so no one has to spend any money except if they want drinks or a photo snapshot of the evening. I also thought it would be nice to give every gentleman a red flower for his lapel and the women a white corsage for their wrists. We hope to have at least 100 people to join us for this dinner cruise but if not, we will be happy with whoever comes.
If anyone has suggestions on making this dinner a more memorable event please feel free to leave me any suggestions you might have, we have run out of ideas.
Thanks

Cruise
February 12, 2010
Today I spoke with my best friend from New York and we have decided to plan a cruise for next summer. She wants to go to the Bahamas or Bermuda, and I want to go back to Hawaii, so we have decided to find a cruise that can make us both happy.
Being that I love to travel, we can always take a cruise to her place of choice and then in the winter we can fly to Hawaii to get away from the cold weather. I have been to Hawaii twice, once with my mother and some of her friends and a girl that my brother use to date. It was so nice that I didn't want to come home. The water was so blue and the people were very nice where ever you went.
We did a lot of island hopping and we ate everytime we went to a different island. I had tried the poi but it taste like wallpaper paste and it was horrible. The roasted pig was delicious and the pineapple was mouth watering. We went to the pineapple factory and I ate so much there that my mouth was raw, but that didn't stop me (guess I was a pig or glutton for punishment).
My best friend has never been to Hawaii and I have never been to the two places she wants to go to. Basically, she hasn't really been anywhere, I have been to California with my mom, brother, his friend, and two of my mom's friends and we had a ball. We went to Disneyland and my mom was chased by the three little pigs and I was chased by the wolf. I miss her and sometimes I remember all of the fun we had when she was alive. I still have the tickets that we had bought for our next two trips. One was to Singapore and the other was Florida, I can't seem to throw them away, I know that they are not any good, but it's like a still have a piece of her with me of all the good times we had and were going to have until she died suddenly.
I guess that's why I do so much with my two children because you never know when you or one of them may be taken away and then it's to late to say I wish I had.....
I hope everyone has a pleasant weekend, we are about to get more snow so I guess I will be inside this weekend, hope to hear from everyone soon.

Trying to make this experience a good one
February 11, 2010
It is 2:52 in the morning and I am at my computer blogging for my comp II class. I am hoping that this will get easier as time goes on, because right now I feel very uneasy talking about myself and the things that I do. It seems as though my life is not very interesting, and no one would care to know what I am doing throughout my day.
It is very cold here in North Carolina and the snow has finally melted away. I called my friends in New York and they received 14 inches of snow on Wednesday. I long for those days again, when we could go outside and have snowball fights, make snowmen and then go back inside and have hot cocoa. When it snows here everyone stays inside and waits for the snow to melt.
I also miss going into Manhattan and just walking around when it snows or taking a horse and carriage ride around Central Park and watch the people on the street. We use to go to Rockerfeller Center and watch the skaters while we had hot cocoa and kabobs from vendors on the street (I know that sounds disgusting, but it was fun), and just watching the people on the street was fun because you never know what you were going to see. I miss New York this time of year.
Hope everyone has a pleasant day and a wonderful weekend.

Blue Monday
February 8, 2010
Monday's are not my favorite day of the week. No one wants to get up and go to school and I hate that the weather is cold and damp. We have had snow for the last few days and expecting more on Tuesday. I miss living in New York where all my friends are at, but I moved here so that my two children could finish school. When we were in New York, I would go horseback ridding on the weekends and in the fall we would go apple picking in Conneticut and then go to the petting zoo across the street. We had more things to do then we do here in Greensboro, and sometimes I think I want to go back to New York until I remember what the rent was that I had to pay. Although my children are older now, my daughter is almost 20yrs old and my son will be 16 on the 25th of this month, I sometimes think maybe after I finish school that I can find me a job that will allow me to travel and have some fun. Well, maybe something interesting will happen to me, and I will feel better about life in general.
Hope all is well with everyone who reads this and have a pleasant week.

New Experience
February 5, 2010
I finally have my blog page set-up for my Kaplan writing comp course, and it was quite simple to do. This is the first time I have ever blogged and I am not sure what I am suppose to do, but I'm sure there will be people who will see this and assist me with this new experience.
I am hoping that this will help to improve my writing skills as I continue to do this for the next ten weeks or so or I just may find this to be more fun and exciting then I think.
Look forward to hearing from my classmates, professor and anyone who would like to join me in my Kaplan experince.
