Mom of all colors

December 21st, 2009

I am 26 years old. I was born in Salina, Kansas and moved to North Carolina in April 2005. I was living with my best friend, who was murdered in front of my eyes. Her ex-boyfriend broke into our apartment and shot her then himself. The man I was seeing became my best friend. I trusted him with my life, and ended up marrying him in December 2006. He was a Blackman from Connecticut. As a white woman from Kansas, I was not surrounded by interracial marriages growing up, so this was a surprise to my family and me. We have been married three years and have a beautiful two-year-old daughter and a six-month-old son. It is amazing how life events shape who we are and what we become.

What I did Last Weekend

December 17th, 2009

Usually I plan before to do something not only to work but also to enjoy. In the same manner I thought to be with my old friends in that weekend. So I went to other city which is 100 km away from our city. I started on Friday evening by car along with my new friends to that place. On the way we stopped at two bars where we had some food and drink. We reached there after four hours which was very long time when compared to regular time. We enjoyed a lot while traveling by cracking jokes. Finally I met my old friends at Saturday midnight and all of us went to pub and the enjoyed the weekend.

“Breaking Bad” Just Gets Better

December 14th, 2009

The best show on television right now is easily “Breaking Bad,” though few people have yet to realize it. AMC is home of the wildly popular show “Mad Men,” but its true gem is far less watched. “Breaking Bad” wrapped its second seasons several months ago, concluding a sophomore season that, incredibly enough, surpassed the first in marvel. Starring Bryan Cranston, the father from “Malcolm in the Middle,” the show chronicles a genius scientist, Walter, stuck as a high school chemistry teacher. When he discovers he has lung cancer as well as a surprise baby on the way, Walter decides to team up with a former student to start cooking crystal meth. A plot that could have been deemed ridiculous in lesser hands, “Breaking Bad” takes on new depths in the ways of human emotion, moral scruples, and exactly what it takes to make a person break bad.

A Hectic Day at the Departmental Store

December 8th, 2009

I am managing a mid sized Departmental Store which caters for all household goods including food beverages and electronic goods. We have to be on the constant look out for shop lifters as we have self service. Though we have surveillance cameras fitted, people device new ways to befool the cameras. One customer was trying out a pair of shoes while I went past and later I saw that customer standing at the delivery counter wearing a new pair of shoes. My instinct told me that he had just slipped on the new shoes and left the old pair under the counter. I immediately went and checked and sure enough there was an old pair of shoes under the counter. I immediately went and checked that customer’s bill and sure enough the shoe was not in the bill. When I accosted him he said that he had bought the shoe earlier. I asked him his address and sent a man with his old pair of shoes to check with his wife if they belonged to her husband, while I detained him. In half an hour he returned with his wife in tow. She acknowledged that the shoes belonged to him. He was thus forced to accept that he had pinched the new pair of shoes.
