A new week after a fun Memorial weekend with friends. One of my best friends, Aleida, stayed for the weekend with me. No, that is not a typo. I do have a friend named Aleida. She is Cuban and our names are very similar. It's funny to see people struggle with our names when we are together - they don't know what to call us sometimes. On Memorial Day other friends also came over and we had a BBQ, like a lot of other Americans probably did. There is nothing better than a good old fashioned hamburger, with all the fixn's. Though these days I can easily enjoy a burger on a big bed of lettuce with tomatoes and onions, rather than a typical hamburger bun.
Today being my work/write day, I am sitting here sounding more like this is a personal journal. And that's okay with me. Some days brilliant stuff comes out and I can't type fast enough. Other days it is dry, and a yawner....I realize that. I won't always enthrall or entice or even barely interest anyone. By the way, yes, I can say brilliant. If we can't toot our own horn, and if we don't know our own strengths, than we better pack up and go sit in a corner and lick our wounds.
This morning I started a Google calendar to share with a friend. My friend Keith had to help me get started, which made me mad because I wanted to do it myself. But the more techy stuff I do, the more I can do tomorrow, and the more I learn on my own down the road. And by the way, I now text like the kids and the 20 somethings! You know the double fisted texting they do....both hands and thumbs going on the phone!! I love that. I also went to the gym and now I am going to meet a friend. Today is a day to help a friend.
Thank you, good night and God Bless! Aleta
