The Fulton County Fair began today . . . don't know if we are going to go this year or not, hope so.  If we don't . . . we don't--but I want some famous fair food! The fair runs through next Thursday, Sept. 5.  I hope to make there--we will see. I will be on vacation next week . . . well, Staycation, not going anywhere just staying home.  Back to work on September 9 . . . see if my colleagues missed me or not. The computer I have had since 2007 has finally decided to start dying,  so I had to find a new computer at a reasonable price--without Windows 8!!!  I found one, it should be delivered next week while I am on vacation . . . then I will start the next chapter in my life, and take coursework in Medical Billing and Coding, don't worry I am not leaving my current job---No Way!  I am going to do the billing and coding from home when I am not at my Full-Time Job--I will see how it goes.  I like my Full-Time Job Too Much and work with a great group of Colleagues--

Today, I said goodbye to my 2004 Pontiac Grand Am--that I have had since 2006.  I took it to Don's Automotive this morning and they bought it from me.  I will miss the car, but we have not been driving it as much as we did before I moved in with mom, dad, and my brother.  We have been driving my 2008 Grand Prix more often than the other one.  That is Ok . . . it has been a good car and I have no complaints about it. I got to enjoy it for 7 years.  It will make a good car for someone.

Recently watched "Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters" on DVD . . . not the fairy tale I remember as a kid. Hansel and Gretel's parents disappeared when they were kids and they became orphans.  They stumbled into a candy-covered cabin in the woods, where there was a mean witch that tortured them--they killed her, thus began their long record of being ruthless witch hunters--Hansel played by Jeremy Renner--his take on witches "a good witch is a dead" witch.  Plenty of action and a little bit of gore--not your children's fairy tale . . . it is a good I give it five stars, but I like these kinds of movies--the sci-fi/fantasy.  If you get the chance to watch this movie--please do, just don't let the little ones watch it without parental supervision.   Hansel and Gretel do find out what really happened to their parents toward the end of the movie . . . a surprise for both of them, and I was surprised.
