Happy Vernal Equinox everybody!

That means it's srping now. Happy SPRING!!!

Oh, if anybody from Harris Teeter is reading this...

This year instead of using the Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry sauce, we used HT Organics Cranberry sauce, and it was DELICIOUS!! We do use that cranberry sauce again next year.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

Hope you all have had a happy Thanksgiving! I sure did. Carson came over for dinner. Bayard (my brother) and Rachel (my sister in law) cam over for desert. Though this is stock photo, but my mother DOES roast a good turkey, and makes good stuffing. We sure had a WONDER feast. I must have eaten too much. I have to lose weight. Carson enjoyed dinner, too. It was unfortunately the Detroit Lions (my team) and the Dallas Cowboys (Carson's team) both lost. However, we were BOTH happy that UNC won is Basketball today. I just hope they win again tomorrow. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Okay, after a long hiatus, I’m back

Sorry I haven’t posted in ages. However, still studying Medical Billing and Coding. Now I have a temporary job without ASNC. Started scanning. Tomorrow, I upload.

VERY unhappy about NFL Football last night.

BOTH the Atlanta Flacons and, even WORSE the New England Patriots won last night. My two least favorite teams in the NFL. I guess, that's just they way things go.


PS. No, I do not hate Atlanta or New England. I just hate the Falcons and Patriots.

In terms of NCAA Basketball

I was happy that the UNC Tar Heels won, yesterday and the Duke Blue Devils lost! Make things even better, UNC beat Florida State, who was ranked first in the ACC. However, since Notre Dame won yesterday (and they were ranked number two in the ACC), that means Notre Dame is now in ranked first in the ACC. UNC is only ranked second. Maybe we will take that first place mark soon.

And this photo was taken in the same spot just yesterday. How ironic! Just last week were covered with snow, now it's nearly all gone. In fact, we even had two days when we had highs of over 70 degrees Fahrenheit. But as we say, that's just North Carolina weather for y'all!

PS. Yes, this is EXACTLY why we don't have plowing or salting services here in NC. 

Well, it's Friday the 13th everybody! Anybody superstitious?! Well, just don't encounter any black cats or walk under any ladders. If you do, be sure to find a four leave clover. If not, I'm sure a horse shoe will do. But anyway, it's nothing to be afraid of. It's just silly superstition...MAYBE!

So, we got snow here in North Carolina

Well, only about five inches this weekend. However, it was beautiful. I didn't go to work on Saturday due to the conditions. Yes, think close easily here in NC because we don't have round the clock plowing and salting. There are still places that are leery working today, since we still have ice on the roads. However, I will be working tonight. Please pray I will be all right.  

Glad I got these for Christmas. My brother gave me the hat. Mike and Gretchen (Carson's brother and sister in law) gave me the gloves. I used them to shovel the driveway last Sunday. 

This is what I am planning to do this year.

I'm gonna live a healthier lifestlye. Going to eat better. Get more exercise. Also going to do some meditation.

Well, folks I did this

I went on to Quizlet to study more. Please pray so I may pass. I feel I need it.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while.

However, I have been trying to pull through. Still hoping Medical Billing & Coding works out. I first spent my Christmas Day with Mike and Gretchen (Carson's family, Mike is her brother and Gretchen in her sister in law). They had a special brunch. I got to meet some more of her family. As well, I give nice presents. I also gave Carson, Bayard and Rachell's presents to her (Bayard is my brother, and Rachell is my sister in law). Bayard gave Carson a UNC Christmas shirt, like what I'm wearing the photo below.  Bayard gave one to me, too. He also gave Carson and UNC scarf. Rachell gave her a pug pillow. 

After seeing Mike and Gretchen, Carson and I went to see Collateral Beauty. It was that new Will Smith movie. I thought it was all right. Carson liked it. Then I drove Carson back to her place in Garner. 

In Garner we exchanged presents. She told me she didn't feel the same magic about Christmas as she did when she was a kid. However, after she say what I had for her, I saw that magic back. I know she is a huge Doug the Pug fan. I gave her Doug's book, entitled Doug the Pug: King of Pop culture. I gave her Two Doug the Pug calendars. One was a 16 month calendar. The other is a paper days calendar. I also gave her some pug socks. I also gave her a pug magnet, and a Dallas Cowboys T-shirt (she is also a Dallas Cowboys fan). I gave Cravon (her father) some Washington Redskins M&M's in a little Football. They gave me a mini Detroit Lions pennant, as well as a Coca-Cola coaster, Eternity cologne and aftershave. Eternity is my personal favorite. They even gave me a $10 bill. 

After that we just sat around ate dinner (Carson had some left over chicken casserole) and drank coffee. However, before leaving hone, I got a good shot of the planet Venus. MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYBODY!!!!

Me, with a new UNC Christmas shirt. 

That white dot is a view of the planet Venus. Got it from Carson's house. 

Prayer request

Here is a pretty photo of the city Charlotte. 

 Unfortunately, what happened recently WASN'T. There was an African-American police officer who shot and killed another African-American. Because of this incident there was a lot of people protesting. Some protests were peaceful. But there were some that turned violent. Many protests escalated into riots. I pray that the situation can be worked out. I pray to put an end to this violence. It especially makes me sad since Charlotte is a city in my state of North Carolina. Please pray. 

Oh, I forgot to mention this.

The UNC Tar Heels also beat the James Madison Dukes on Saturday. Both of my Football teams, the UNC Tar Heels in the NCAA, and the Carolina Panthers in the NFL BOTH won their home opener this weekend. Yes, for both teams had their very first home games of the season this weekend. Makes me happy.

This is what Carson and I saw yesterday.

When the Panthers take the field. 

What kidn of view Carson and I saw. We were right behind a goal post. 

Sir Purr (the mascot of the Carolina Panthers) wants us to get loud while watching the game. 

Sir Purr, with the rest of the Panther team also likes to show his support the veterans of this country, who are willing to give their lives for our country. 

PANTHERS WIN 46-27!!! GO PANTHERS and KEEP POUNDING!!!! Hey, I think I got that Colin Kaepernick (the 49ers second string quarterback) guy on the video wall. BOOOOO!!!!! Anyway, I doubt he'll be in the same league as Cam Newton. I don't repect Colin Kaepernick as a QB (because he sucks at it) or as a person (if he's not happy here in America, then he should LEAVE). 

What the field looks like after a Panthers game. I just love it when the Carolina Panthers win. Especially, when it's against a team I am not fond of, like the San Francisco 49ers. 

Carson and I saw OUR TEAM, the Carolina Panthers play in person!

Well, yesterday Carson andd I went to another Panthers game. We do it about once a year. The reason why we don't do it super often is because the tickets are quite expensive and we don't live anywhere near Charlotte. We saw the Panther splay the San Francisco 49ers. Well, we are both huge fans of the Panthers. Asked for the 49ers, not so much. Especially, that Colin Kaepernickguy. He always like to take a knee for the national anthem. Don't get me wrong here. I know Kaepernick does have a legal right not to stand with his right hand over his heart. However, personally, I feel if you're not happy here in America, then America is not the right country for you. Yes, to put it bluntly, I feel this way. America, love it...OR LEAVE IT! No, I'm not saying our socity is perfect. But I don't like it when people keep ripping on my society.
Well, we both had fun that day. Jerry Richardson, the owner of the Carolina Panthers, was sitting in a press box behind us. Got to see some nice plays by Cam Newton, Kelvin Benjamin, and Luke Kuechly. I will should all what Carson and I saw in the next post. 

Okay this is what's going on

I have indeed stated my Medical Coding and Billing class. That course I take online. I just finished one chapter. Please pray that I have make it through the rest and then find a full-time career. Then Carson and I can marry.


Also today is the 15th anniversary of 9/11. The day that changed the world. And not for the better I might add. Since then there has been so much sorrow grief and paranoia. A day we have expereinced a harsh terroist attack that killed throusands in one day. Osama Bin Laden has been caught, but terroism is far from finished. I just hope we can put an end to terroism so the world can live together peacefully. I pray for all the people who lost their lives and for their families who still live with this heartache to this very day. Here is a picture I found on iStock I would like to share with you.

Okay folks

I'm on a new medication. It's called Trazodone. It's an anti-anxiety medication. No offense to Harris Teeter, but it's due to my lack of progress in the workforce is what's causing it. I really want something better. Well, on September 7, I am starting an online class in Medical Billing and Coding. Hoping that will lead to a full-time career, where I have a future. And I need to eat food while taking medication. And I am trying to lose weight.
Well, I guess I have to keep my Weight Watchers points down for most to the rest of the day. Also avoid processed food as much as possible. I've hear that can help increase a weight loos hormone called Leptin in our systems. I want to increase Leptin in my system.
Well, I know Football season is about to start (and that is American Football for those of you who live outside of the United States. The sport you probably call Football is the sport we call Soccer. American Football is very different from Soccer). I am hoping the best for my two teams. That would of course be the North Carolina Tar Heels in NCAA Football, and the Carolina Panthers in the NFL. There is high hopes for both teams. I HOPE the both do well this year. Bye for now. 

Haven't posted in a while

But, I have a lot of anxiety and depression. Well, now I'm about to study Medical Billing and Coding. Hopefully, that will be my career path.

To all the Canadians out there...

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!!!
