Todd's Christmas Letter 1995 Regarding Charlton Heston

Ran Into A Lady Who Recognized Me From Her Past. A Screwed Up DVD Movie.

I forgot to tell u 2 things. My mind went blank yesterday as I was typing a journal about a trip to library last Saturday and my father.
Last Saturday morning while I was at the library, guess who I ran into? A lady recognized me from her past but I don't remember her. She was the one who picked out my name from a glass bowl in the summer of 1997. It was about a contest by newspaper staff, not at a real newspaper station, but I've forgotten what's the name of that newspaper. I can't remember it. It's been a long time. Anyways, I was stunned when I found out about it. Someone called me at home. I won the contest! I can't believe it! The winning prize was about a trip to Busch Gardens in Tampa. Busch Gardens is a famous zoo park and where my hubby and I spent on our honeymoon trip. Wow! I was so excited about it! I called my fiance in Melbourne, south of Daytona Beach, where he worked at my brother's law office immediately. On the phone, I can tell that he's stunned. His future vision is right. Before I won the contest, Todd felt we will may go to Tampa one day. His psychic came true. So the next day or few, I came to the office of newspaper in the building on the beachfront and picked up winning tickets. A staff wanted to take picture of me with winning tickets. I did. I don't have a newspaper picture here at my apt. I think it's at my parents' house but I don't remember where it is. If I find it, I will post it for u bloggers. Anyways, I chatted with a lady little bit at the library. She likes my hair. LOL! It's very pretty. I washed it that Sat morning. It was nice chat with her.
About my father, he's screwed up DVD movie I've rented a month ago. Dad mistakenly took DVD movie, "Stardust", back to the library instead of Blockbuster. I was upset when I found out about it last week. It was an accident. Blockbuster sent a bill to Dad in his name. It was a late fee. He was supposed to read the sign, "Library" or "Blockbuster" but he did not paying attention to read it due to his age. I recall I did give DVD movie back to Dad when I finished watching it a month ago. Last Friday, Dad found this DVD movie at the library. Thank God. Then he returned it to Blockbuster. I am relieved. Whew!

Entry for January 28, 2008

I took this picture of Granada Bridge to the Beachfront and Halifax River, across the street from the public library and the City Hall 2 weeks ago on Tuesday.

I had a fun morning last Saturday. I went to the library and stayed there for 2 hours. When I arrived there, I returned DVD movies and then looked at selves of several alphabetical titles of DVD movies around. I borrowed 5 of them and a book, "Possession", by A.S. Byatt. After that, I went to the magazines section and read 3 different magazines. The library seems so quiet as I was reading a section about Dr. Phil and his wife, Robin, and their tips for us in the Good Housekeeping magazine and looked up at partons reading books and magazines and newspapers few times. I laughed at the picture of Mark Consuelos, Kelly Ripa's cute Latino hubby. He looks so funny. LOL! He just looks alike an Mexican to me. I saw his TV movie 2 weekends ago on Oxygen Channel. In that TV movie, Mark played a poor Mexican cowboy who was hired by the wealthy man's daughter but I forgot what's the name of this TV movie. After I read them all, I had to leave immediately and checked out those stuff. As I was checking out those items I decided to borrow, I notice the library is changing. There are no more due date cards. Instead, the library had an idea. Their idea was to print out a sheet of list of items, like numbers of them and due dates. Cool. I save that sheet in case I can remember when due dates are until I am done watching and reading. Then I went outside the white building and waited for Dad to pick me up. The weather was cold. I wore a San Francisco sweatshirt and purple velvet jogging pants that day. That outfit kept me warming. I think it was about between 60 degrees and 67 degrees. I went home when Dad arrived to pick me up but he was late little bit.
This early afternoon, I personally e-mailed a letter to Todd, my separated hubby, about how I feel but this is a private and I can't give u some emotional details. I am upset at him for many reasons.
Do u remember I was telling about the big yellow building across the street from where I live? That place is about changing. I guess the church, the next door to day care center, bought the lease from an owner of day care center but I don't know. I noticed today that there are new pavements or sidewalks on the backyard and the front yard.
That's it for now.

Greetings from Florida!

Had An Appt at The Hospital. At Parents' House. Discussing My Wedding Anniversary.

As u are seeing a photo above, this is our wedding day, January 17, 1998. Todd and Me. That picture was taken on January 17, 1998 outside the reception at The Conklin Building in Daytona Beach. The weather on that day looked improving 2 days later after a terrible storm. Sunny and 68 degrees.

I skipped a breakfast yesterday morning cuz I went to the hospital nearby for taking a breathing test. No breakfast was allowed until after the test. Drinking the water is okay. I felt starving. I did drinking it before I left my place. My gas doctor ordered me to do a breathing test. I had an appt there. When I arrived at the hospital, the valet took care of my mother's car. I didn't know an idea of having valet was developed there until now. Sounds cool so we can have getting in there in time for my appt. The valet is free. Before arriving outside the main lobby of hospital, my mother was having trouble to find a parking space. There are so many vehicles everywhere! My goodness! I noticed that, wow. We should come in early if I have an early morning appt there. Inside the hospital, I went to the laboratory department after an female employee checked my record. I swallowed a yellow medicated pill that a nurse gave me but she won't allowing me to touch it with my hand so a nurse was holding a cup of pill and swallowing the pill inside my mouth without my hand. Then I waited for about 10 minutes until a nurse wanted me to blow 2 special silver balloons that a gas doctor requested. I did it twice and then I am done. When I returned to the main lobby room, I went to get a cup of coffee myself that hospital is served for patients and guests only. It's free. Finally, I felt better when I was drinking a coffee. I was relieved. I waited in the lobby for several minutes while my mother went out to get her car so the valet have had to pick it up for her. Afterwards, I went over to my parents' house for a visit.


At my parents' house yesterday, I stayed there all day until that evening. Mother made me a breakfast. Very delicious. I had a waffle, a boiled egg, sausage, and a coffee. Yummy! This was a late breakfast. I felt refreshing. I ate them all expect a halfway of coffee. That afternoon, I fixed to set up a cord from a VCR box to a big TV set. My mother asked me to do it cuz I know my parents are an old-fashioned. LOL! When I arrived there that late morning, I noticed there is no big flat TV plasma set anymore. I was surprised to see that. It had been taken back cuz it's too expensive that I already know. No more movie cables cuz the cost of my parents' TV cable bill, I figured, was so high. The black box was gone. That was owned by TV cable company. So my parents are using standard channels again instead on their a different, big, regular, black TV set. I guess the size of their TV set is between 27 inches and 30 inches and the brand new is Sony. Anyways, back to working on the VCR and DVD players, the cord of VCR is plugged successfully but I don't know which the cord of DVD is going to. I was confused and can't figured it out. So my mother called David on his cell phone for a help but she sent a voice mail to him instead. That night, I had a dinner with my parents. I had a salad, 1 wheat bread, and lasagna. Lasagna was so delicious! I ate it all. Wow! After dinner, I had an lemon ice cream Popsicle. Yummy again! LOL! Then I went home. I had a fun that day. Spending time with parents is enjoyable.

Yesterday would be my 10th wedding anniversary if my separated hubby, Todd, is still here. If Todd is still here, he would like to take me out to dinner for our wedding anniversary. I felt sad and lonely that day while Todd is living in southern California. I am disappointing at him. We don't talking each other much thru TTY, or IM, or video phone, but the last e-mail from him was about a month ago. It's a forwarding email, u know. I am bringing up this subject about Todd now when I am feeling a relief as thing gets my chest off to tell the world about him. I looked up our wedding and honeymoon photos in a beautiful, thick album yesterday morning before I left. It brought me smiling to remember our wedding day. And then I did it again that night before I went to bed. As I was thinking about that wedding album, I am wondering if Todd doesn't remembering those great photos, did he? I think he's probably forgetting them if he is still being very busy working at a major hotel in downtown.

That's it for now.
