First Day Of Conference

I got earlier than usual about 6 am got ready and picked of Tara for our annual case manager conferecne in Indianapolis. We got there found our normal Madison County crew and ate some breakfast then started in on all the speakers and presentations. The day was pretty good the information was pretty intersting. There was so many woman at the meeting today that they had to turn one of the men's room's into the women's, I had to go to the bathroom beside urinals.(lol) We got ready to come home for the day at about 5;15 then I had a little problem. The car would not start, the hotel maintence people tried to jump it and nothing so I called road side assistance and they got to the hotel in about 20 minutes they jumped it and it started right away. We drove home and now I am just relaxing and thinking I have to do the whole thing over again tomorrow hopefully minus the car problem.

Memorial Day And Beyond

I had a fairly quiet Memorial day, I got up hung around the house planted some flowers in the pots and then We got a call from my cousin Angie to come for a cookout at 3 . I ran down to the grocery and got some things then came home and my parents and I went to the cookout, It was nice same ole family and same ole stories. We came home and watched a movie from Blockbuster "Rumor has It" It was funny and it was even better because it was free., I wanted it a couple of weeks ago and it was not in so they gave it to me free the next time.

Tuesday May 30th- I was off work again today and really did not do much. I ran some errands in the morning and then swept out my car, cleaned it out and then my mom and I went to Andserson and I took something back at the mall, we ate some lunch and I washed my car , I got the early bird special price and got the 13.00 dollar wash for 8. I came home and decided to go watch Cody play minor league ball. OH MY GOD was it the longest game ever it stated at 6 and they were still playing at 9:30 when I finally came home.

Memorial Day 'Weekend

What a beautiful weekend here in Indiana, It was hot and sunny and finally feels like summer, I just wish my aunt's pool was ready, but its close maybe tomorrow....

Saturday 5-27-06-- I got up and ran some errands in town like the bank and the post office and stopped and visited my grandparents and then I picked up my mother and we went shopping in Muncie.We went to TJ Maxx and the mall. I got a couple of things on sale, not really a lot. A funny thing did happen on the way home from shopping we were about 1/2 way home on the country road we always take and we were stopped at a stop sign and this car comes flying around the corner and just about hit us and my mom says what a "Dumb Butt, but she did not say butt" and I said that Dumb Butt is your brother . My uncle was driving and did not even notice it was us and then my mom grabs my phone calls their cell phone and yells at her "little brother" who is 59, it was so funny. We got home from Muncie and then mom, dad and I went to see Davinci Code . Mom and I loved it and Dad hated it. I really made you think it talked about history, religion, fact and fiction, Jesus having a child , hmmmmm what do you think?


Sunday May 28 , 2006-- I got up and went to Church came home and helped mom clean the bank and then came home and listened to the Indy 500 on the radio, see it is blocked out here because we have Indianapolis TV stations. We went out to the cemetary in town and placed some flowers on my grandmothers grave and some others then came home and went to Anderson for some dinner and went to another movie Failure to Launch with Sara Jessica Parker and Matthew (can't spell his last name) . It was about parents who hire some girl to get their adult son out of the house. Do you think my parents are thinking of hiring some guy to get me out? All I know is he better have big closets(hahaha). We stopped at the grocery and came home. I had a great weekend and hope your Memorial Day is a good one.--Stacey Out--

First Day Of Vacation

Hello and Welcome to the first day of my vacation. I got up this morning and went and had my nails done and a pedicure, I took a picture but really don't think you want to see a picture of my feet but I really do have pretty toes.(haha). I met up with Teresa and her crew from school for lunch today at Red Lobster it was fun time to sit and talk with them and then I realized I was eating with 3 of my old teachers, Teresa taught me algebra, Meoldy taught Geometry and Sherry Health and PE, and WOW they are still there teaching. I came home picked up mom and we went back to Anderson to the cementary where my great-grandparents are buried. We stopped at Meijer an bought some more flowers and then came home. I ran down to the ball park and watched Austin play in a tourney. I took a couple of pictures of Fall Creek that runs through our park, that is the closest thing we have to water and a beach(haha). I think they really turned out pretty good, not bad pictures for a rummage sale camera. The one turned out so good I used it has my background on my computer. I hope everyone has a great weekend.--Stacey Out---

Nothing Much Changes

I guess this is just a quick note to say Hi... I have not been doing much the last few days work has been busy for me because trying to get the month finished before my vacation. I went out to lunch on monday and tuesday with Christie and Statia , we've been to Panera and Wendy's and today I was out of town for some appts and just stopped at Subway and read a magazine. I helped mom a couple of nights and visited with the grandparents and of course watched Idol. I went to my lilttle cousin Cody's little league game tonight but it stormed after 1/2 inning and they called it. It has stormed the last 2 days but suppose to be in the 80's the next few days so that will be great with the weekend, holiday, and the indy 500. I have never been to the race and only been to the speedway once in my life and live less than an hour from it, funny how that happens. I am off work for a few days until Wednesday and then on Wed. and Thurs I am at a conference in Indy, it's going to be strange for me to have this many days off in a row and nothing much to do and nowhere to go, usually if I am off this many days I have a plane ticket in my hand(haha). I hope you all have a great friday, I am getting a mani and a pedi.--Stacey Out---

Last Couple Of Days

Sunday May 21, 2006-- I got up and went to church and really did not do much all day but relax, I had dinner at my grandparents and visited with them for a while and came home and watched a lilttle tv and went to bed early.

Monday May 22, 2006-- I went to work and had an appt. out of the office before lunch big day today at work , we got a new copier and that is real exciting because ours has been broke for a few days. Patrick came over to our office to do some work and he, Christie , James and I went to lunch at our favorite mexican place. I had some appt. on my way home from work and also stopped and washed the car. I came home changed clothes and went to Daleville to watch Brandon play ball for the high school and acutally I can get to that school faster than I can get to my own if you can believe that. The team won and Brandon pitched a good game, WOW the weather was great and I even got some sun. Here is a picture of the ball games and oh mom wanted me to take a picture of the Indiana rag weed so here it is , it makes me want to sneeze just looking at it. I came home from the ballgame and ate some dinner took a bath and watched the Oprah Legends WOW that show was insane. I hope you all have a great week, only 3 more days of work for me before my little break---Stacey Out----

Sights And Sounds Of The Day

I had a nice day today I woke up with no headache just some pressure under my eye and felt pretty good. I went at 9 and watched Austin play little league the weather was sunny but a little cool. I hung out and talked to Teresa that was nice had not seen her in a week or so. I came home and picked up mom and we ran to Anderson and had lunch at Ruby Tuesday and looked at flowers for the outside of the house. Here are some pictures of the day and I hope you all have a great weekend.-- Stacey Out--

Highlights Or Lowlights Of The Week

I'm back well I really did not go anywhere but just had nothing to talk about so why bore everyone. I worked of course and had several appts. this week out of the office. I ate lunch at our mexican place on Tuesday with Christie. I ran some errands on Wednesday and took my dad's Rolex watch to be fixed( is it a real Rolex who knows I bought it for 25 dollars at the purse party but he likes it). I got really early Thursday morning and threw up twice, I had a bad sinus headache I guess but later in the am I felt better so went to work and felt so-so all day and went to lunch with Statia, Christie and James at Panera Bread had some chicken noodle soup and did pretty well. I went home that night helped mom at the bank and visited with my grandparents and of course this week I watched Idol and the end of OC. I also on thursday did not have the internet all night I have insight not comcast but they must share something because mine was off all night too. I got up today and had another head ache but went to work and worked a couple of hours and get really sick again so came home and layed down for about 3 hours, I then felt ok this evening. I am looking forward to some time off around memorial day. I have maxed out my vacation time and can not make any more till I take some time off, see what happens when I don't go to the beach, oh well!!. I hope everyone has a great weekend maybe I'll have something exciting to talk about(haha)--Stacey Out--

Mother's Day 2006

Can You believe 3 blogs in a row, Don't worry it won't last!! Happy Mothers Day!!! I got up this morning read the morning papers and went to church. We had 5 kids in sunday school school today. I came home from church changed into sweats and took down the flower pot I had gotten for mother's day to my grandmothers. She really liked it and so did my mother. My parents , grandparents and I went to dinner at 909 grill in Muncie. We have to be very picky when deciding where to eat because my grandfather will not wait 1 minute anywhere. It is a wonderful place to eat and eveything was delicious. We came home and then I got a really nice surprise Brandon brought me a beautiful hanging basket and card for mothers day it was very touching, those of you mothers are probably use to getting cards and gifts on mothers day, but I think its my first, so I thought I would share it with everyone. I also took pictures of 3 hot generations of women(haha). I hope everyone has a great week and lets hope for all of us here in Indiana that the rain stops really really soon.--Stacey Out--

Something Old Something New.....

Happy Saturday to You-- Wow I know 2 Blog's in a row(lol). I got up this morning and hung around the house in my pj's all morning, that was nice and then I got ready for the wedding . I wore a skirt, and sandals and it was really too cold for bare legs but oh well... The wedding was very nice , the bride was beautiful and she walked in to "At Last" instead of the Wedding March, the groom cried and the cake was strawberry, it was a good day. Hey-- maybe there is hope for me on Match.com. I stayed at the reception for a couple of hours and then came home for a few , changed into my jeans and my parents and I went to Penn Station for dinner and a movie. We saw RV with Robin Williams, OMG pee down your leg funny,(well maybe that was just my reaction-hehe). I give it 2 thumbs up. Happy Mother's day to all you mother's out in blog land. Have yourself a great day.--Stacey Out--

What I Do Every Day

I think I can sum up the last 3 days pretty darn quick because there is not much to say. The weather has been awful cold rainy and windy. I even had to get my boots out and wear again and I was just getting use to the sandals. I worked the last 3 days and stayed busy with several appts. in peoples home. I am not sure if I ever really explained what I do in my job and why I am out of the office so much, guess this is as good of time as any. Lifestream is an area agency on Aging , we have state and federal funds and grants to put homecare in homes for disabled and elderly. My job is to go in assess the needs and what kind of services they qualify for assist them in picking a home care agency and monitoring the services and the needs of all clients on my caseload which is close to 80. The other part of my job is to go into the local nursing homes assess the patients and make sure they qualify to need the level of assistance that nursing home's give. I have a really rewarding job and there is never a dull moment. It is also nice to set my own schedule and not been chained to the desk all the time. Christie, Statia and I all do the same thing.
I have not really done anything exciting the last few days, I picked up a mother's day gift on Wednesday, ankle braclet and a wind chime. I helped mom at the bank and visited my grandparents. I had my hair cut on Thursday and tonight after work picked up a wedding gift for a wedding I am going to tomorrow afternoon. Kay, a friend I use to work with in Yorktown is getting married and we use to have great times together I even went to the beach in FL with her 3 years in a row for a week in her parents condo, It will be beautiful I'm sure. I hope everyone has a great weekend and give your mom a hug for me.---Stacey Out---

My Phone Can Rock Now

Monday 5-8-06-- I went into work and had a couple of appointments cancel which always screws up my day but you learn to just go with it. I had a nice lunch today with Statia and Christie and we went to Garfields , I don't think I have ever taken pictures of Garfields I will have to the next time. I had one appointement at the end of the day on my way home. I went home and had our monthly church meeting at 6 and it lasted until about 8:15pm. I came home and put mp3's on my new phone, I figured it out all on my own with no help from anyone. I love how I can play music and I have lots with mine and the one's Patrick left on the card, some are not my favorite and may have to go, like Personal Jesus(haha). I have to bragg on my phone some since everyone else has , did you see how small that card for the mp3's is WOW.

Tuesday 5-9-06. I started out the day in Yorktown for our monthly meeting and then I came back to our office and made some phone calls and then headed to a late lunch and then out of town for visits the rest of the day. I came home and ran out to the high school for the baseball game and watched Brandon play and also hung out with my cousins Angie and Jodi for a while, always fun until they try to set me up with every single guy at the ball field(haha). I also got my grandmother and mother planters of flowers forMother's day I always go to the same nursery in Elwood, they are beautiful but they should be for 45.00 a piece. I took the pictures wth my phone and then sent them to my e-mail, see how much I am learning.---Stacey Out

My Last 3 Days

Friday May 5, 2006--- I was sick in bed most of the day--Thanks to my friends that cared enough to check on me and make sure I was still alive, it was touch and go for a while...


Saturday May 6, 2006--- I was awakened this morning witha call from my cousin Angie at 7:50 am. She asked if I was feeling better and I said yes then she wondered if I would mind going to Pendelton and watching my cousin Brandon play baseball , he had been sick all night and was going to try to play she wanted someone to be there for him and neither her or her husband Chris could go, I had planned on going to Pendelton anyway to get car plates so I said I would . I left at 9:30 got my car plates for 250.00 dollars and then looked around the shops in town for a few minutes until time for the ballgame. Brandon did not play until the 5th inning, but he pitched and did pretty good. I left there at about 2:00 then went to Anderson to the grocery and got a call from Teresa wondering if I would run to Indianapolis with her for a few and she wanted to go to a certain shoe store, I left my car at the grocery and she picked me up. We went to the shoe store, and kohls then headed home, she dropped me off at my car at 6. I ran home changed clothes and my parents and I went to my cousins Chris's graduation party, he graduated today from Anderson University with a business Degree. I had a great time at the party had the whole family there with a cookout and bon fire. I was sitting there thinking how lucky I am to have such a great family, they are always there when you need them, they don't judge you , or put you down they just love you for who you are. I sometimes think I am missing out not having kids or brothers and sisters but I realized I am very happy with what I have. I don't hate myself, or my life and I have nothing to complain about.

Sunday May 7, 2006-- I got up and went to chruch we had 5 kids in Sunday school today. I came home and hung around the house and did some research on the internet on the Medicare drug plan for my dad. He has worked at the same job for about 50 years since he was in high school and always had great insurance medical, dental and eye and last month all of a sudden the company decided they could just not afford to give insurance any longer . It was a big shock for both my parents so my dad is getting on medicare and my mom has some small insurance coveage until she can get on medicare in January. It is sad the the ecomomy in this country has gotten to this point. My mom and I ran to Andserson had some dinner at Cracker Barrel and then I washed my car and came home. I went over the plans with my dad for drug coverage and he now just needs to make a decision. I hope everyone has a great week ---Stacey out--

Beautiful Thursday

Wow what a beautiful day - This is what we should have all year round sunny and about 75. I worked in the office most of the day and had 1 appt. out of the office at the end of the day. I had lunch by myself and ran some errands and stopped and got my nails done after work and the color this time is "your a pisa work" and I am I admit it(hahaha). I came home after running into Target and took something back and helped Mom at the bank and came home and watched the Pacers lose. I guess we will have to start the count down to football season. --Stacey Out-

Can You Hear Me Now?

Good Wednesday to you. I got up and went to work all of us in the office went to lunch with our new CEO today. We picked the place so guess where we went? YIP Mexican. It was nice to get to sit down with him and hear the ideas he has. We all had to introduce ourselves and tell somethings about us since we don't work in the main office he really does not get a chance to be around us and know anything about us . I had one appt. out of the office in the pm and spent the rest of the day in the office. I stopped at the verizon store on the way home and had my cell phone number changed to my new phone, well its new to me see I bought Patricks phone and it has so many things on it I am trying to learn them all, as Patrick said I am top dog now . I came home helped my mom at the bank, visited with my grandparents and just watched Paris get voted off Idol. Have a Great Thursday!!--Stacey Out--

Batter Up

You know I am looking for things to do when the last 2 nights I have gone to little league games and I am starting to enjoy them. I guess my little cousins are the closest thing I will have to kids or nephews since I am an only child so I go and enjoy and I 'm lucky that they live down the road from me so I can see them whenever I want. They are cute in there uniforms espically cody the youngest as he annouced tonight that he wanted to be taken out of the game tonight in the 3rd inning because he"needed a break"(haha). There has not been a lot going as you know work is work and I am ready for a vacation and have nowhere to go but hey I am not going to complain , well much, that my best friend Teresa is going to Hawaii in July without me... I did vote first thing this am. My uncle was running for county council and my cousin Jodi was running for school board she was trying to win her ex-husbands seat as he moved out of the area. They both lost my uncle by 42 votes and my cousin by 97. I think I shocked the pole workers this am when I came in and asked for a republican ballet, that was the first time I had done that but to vote for family I had to. Well not much else to say..--Stacey Out--
