1982- I am watching the Best of I Love the 80's on VH 1. Richard Dean Anderson what ever happened to him?

Then its the Mullet? Remember that hair due? Oh my gosh I graduated from high school in 1982, and some of my employees were born between 1980-1988- how pathetic am I?

Totally - Dungeons and Dragons...

We just lost power for a moment, so now waiting for the cable to come back on, we are waiting for the huge thunderstorms to hit. I liked this picture from the New London Day, I could not get a picture of lighting as I tried over the Lake.

I have been watching my Fox News, and trying to figure out why main stream media ignores some stories, and what they "deem" worth talking about.

Ok, breaking news, tornado warning in my County of NH, and the storm is moving fast and now it is so scary, sitting here by myself on the 2nd floor where is my husband? At work, This storm is moving E at 32 mph, luckily we are not in the mist of it, the out skirts of the county is where the storm is moving.

Yesterday, I had a great time in Maine. I was on the boat with Mom and Skip, it was so much fun, in and out of the boat into Long Lake. I am not a bit sunburned on my back. It was so hot if out of the water, I was worried about work all day, so I did not enjoy it as much as I could. I got phone calls and then I stressed about work, sometimes my job drives me crazy.

We need a real Banquet Manager not me doing two jobs. An early report for the 2nd quarter says my sales are on the top, and I am the number 1 sales person, if this keeps up it could be great, but if someone else has a huge surge it won't matter either way.

Depresses me to think so close but if it is true will I finally stand up for myself? Even if I do will it matter all that much? Nothing changes, and people still fool other people, so aggravating.

Adjusting to small town living is so interesting to me. We moved here in February 2009, and have really become part of the community. We are living on Lake Winnipesaukee in NH, and I grew up in Norwich, CT which is New England, but NH is so different then anywhere else we have lived.

As, I was coming home tonight from work, I realized it is kind of like Peyton Place here, scandals, murder, political unrest it is so interesting. When I was in Norwich or Mystic you only knew your own little world but here you learn it from where you happen to hang out. In civic groups, chamber etc.

We even have a few celebrities sightings which are always fun...
Just a little thought for today.

Congress passed massive, historic financial reform legislation on Thursday, paving the way for potentially far-reaching restrictions on bankers and protections from predatory lending for consumers.

Who do they think they are kidding? Smiles, fake!!!

This is a picture of Esker Point in Groton, CT from the New London Day. It makes me miss Thomas even more, he loved summer and loved his hometown.

I do read the New London Day online everyday, and some of these pictures make me miss SouthEastern CT.

I love this picture.

I admit, I am addicted to TV and actor/actresses. I am saying this because today, at work I saw a real live actor, and stupid me said, "you look so familiar" idiot!! She was so nice and introduced herself as if, I am so dumb!!

To be honest, I don't agree with her politics but have always liked her movies, and other stuff, if I say anymore you might figure it out, and I can't have that. I know no one actually reads my blog so its ok, but just in case she has an alarm on her name, I dont want to do that.

Now, I am watching the L & O: CI season finale, I love Jeff Goldblum in this role, but admit I miss Vincent .

It is July 4th weekend! As far back as I can remember it was the fireworks that seemed to make the holiday special. When I was little and we would spend it with my dad, we go to his mom' s house, she had a pool, and all day we would swim and eat, then when the sun went down my dad would bring us over to Washington Park in Groton to watch the fireworks.

As, I got older, and boyfriends, we would watch them either at Ocean Beach in New London, or at Fort Griswold in Groton. Then it became bit of a competetion, Groton vs. New London. The Fireworks would be a week after the 4th, and the Gucci Brothers would put on quite a show with music and such. One year, an ex and I lived on Thames Street in Groton, and we thought we would be able to see them from our house, not so much, we walked up the street for a better view, they really were incredible.

The July 4th after 9/11, was the most moving I had ever seen, with patrotic music playing and looked around with the crowds, and knowing Groton/New London has a huge Navy and Coast Guard community made it seem surreal.

Last year, we watched them from our apartment up the street from the Lake, no music though which I find odd. This year, myself and my DOS have decided to do a cruise on the Lake with our boat and open it to the public, that I think will be so much fun!! The husband is working of course.

Snow fell on Mount Washington and temperatures were in the 30s, according to workers at the Mount Washington Observatory.Snow fell at 11 a.m., but it didn't accumulate. It changed to rain later in the morning.Mount Washington is known for some of the most severe weather in the world and until recently, it held the world record for strongest wind gust.


Love living in New Hampshire, today was so beautiful here on the Lake it was about 61 ' and sunny and breezy. It felt like September to me, which is my favorite time of year, always has been the renewal or beginning for me. Yes, it is my birthday month and then of course, when I was in school it was the beginning of the school year.

It is already July 1, it feels like we were just opening the hotel last year at this time, and it is already a year, it goes so fast. When you are a kid it feels forever to get to summer, but as an adult it comes and goes so fast. I admit, I am waiting for October which winds down the Wedding season, August and September are going to be soooo busy!! It starts full swing next weekend, and I have a few difficult brides so I am really waiting for August to be over!!

Why do I do this? I stress about it all the time until after the wedding is over, it doesn't make me happy anymore like it used to. I try to be up beat and happy for each bride which I am, but I am thinking the next 10 steps ahead to make their wedding a success. Then if I did not handle weddings what would I do?

This wedding is making me feel about what I want to do next and I do not have a plan. At this time, we are staying where we are in New Hampshire and in these jobs for the moment.
