Maiden Post

I know, I know I have spelt the word bell wrong. It's just that I love the word as a name and I wanted to somehow incorporate in my blog title. My husband's grandmother was named Belle and I have a cat named Bella, she actually came to us with that name. Belle has another meaning in my life but if I told you that it may give you an idea as to where I live and I am not ready for that yet. This is my first blog post ever and I am totally feeling things out and not wanting to give too much information.

I have been reading blogs for a very long time and when I can figure this whole thing out I will be glad to post some of the blogs I read daily, they all have inspired me.

I will try to make my way around the profile area of this blog and fill in more information about myself but I will introduce myself briefly here.

- I have been married to the same man for 31 years
- We have one daughter, 26 years old
- We have two cats, Bella and Buddy or Budda and Belly as I sometimes refer to them
- I was born and raised in the city we live in
- My husband was born and raised in a little town about an hour southwest of me
- We have owned our home for 23 years and have put much of our heart and soul into it
- I am 56, 30 years older than my daughter so if I can remember how old my daughter is I can remember my age
- My husband is five years older than me
- I work in a nursing home not ten minutes from my home, not in patient care, in the administrative end

I think that is enough information for now. I will try to get a profile up soon.

Today was Administrative Assistant day. When I first started out in the work force, I was a secretary and this day was called Secretaries Day and actually it was considered Secretaries Week. I fell out of the secretary field and went into the administrative field and since the title of the special day was changed it was good for me because I get to be honored again. The Administrative staff here at the nursing home had a lunch for the Assistants. It was brought into the facility and set up in a conference room. It consisted of a lunch package from Panera Breads. A variety of sandwhiches, chips, very large chocolate chip cookies and a ceasar salad. Also someone brought homemade brownies. I took a turkey sandwhich and a plate of salad, took the turkey out of the sandwhich and put it in my salad, and I have to pat myself on the back because I did not take any dessert and no chips. It will become very evident through this blog that I am and have beeen battling my weight since I was a little girl.

So, if anyone happens to have found me, thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions please let me know.
