wow. didnt realize that its been so long since ive been on here. if you want, i'm always on facebook and you can find me there all the time. just look me up. shannon bloomberg gain. hope to see you all there.

well i'm back again! see it wasnt too long this time. lol. well the holidays are over and i'm glad. i hate the day after a holiday. espically if it snows that day. i must say though, as much as i hate the cold and the snow, it was a nice treat. snow in NC is rare. i herd that the last time we had some was 4 years ago and that was just over an inch. i did get to take some beautiful pictures of the 5 inch snow fall at my house and at work out on the rotue so i put them up on here for you all to look at. over all, it turned out to be a beautiful day and a decent day at work. but i must say, i do miss the warm weather. i hate being ralphie from the movie a christmas story where he was getting dressed up to go to school and had too many clothes on that he couldnt put his arms down. thats how i feel getting ready to go to the street to deliver the mail. it takes too long to put on that many clothes. lol. if you couldnt tell from the pictures, i dont have too much body fat on me so i get cold when its 60 degrees out. can you imanging how i feel at 20? lol ... now you know why i moved from MD to NC. i guess i didnt move far enough south. whoops my bad but i like it here. i have always wanted to be in nc. so if it takes a few random cold spells and a once in a blue moon snow, then i'll tough it out. well i hope the weather is going good for the rest of you out there. and take care!

Hi everyone. i know it has been awhile since ive written anything. i guess with the holidays i'v gotten distracted. i'm sure you all know what i mean. lol. i hope that everyone had a wonderful christmas or chanukah and new years! i did. got to go back up to MD to visit my family for christmas. i went up the weekend before christmas. you all know that us city carriers are not allowed to take off durring the month of december but that weekend was my long weekend so it worked out that i got 3 days to go up there and spend some time with my family. then i had christmas day at the in-laws which was very nice. had lots of good food too!!! well nothing else is new here in NC but i just wanted to give everyone a hello and to let you all know that i am still here. i'll try not to get behind again like i did. talk to you all later.

 Hello All! well i'm back and with some news. unfortunally its not good but i was a good citizen and someone was saved on my behalf. unfortunally on friday october 17th i had an encounter with a customer. i was sitting by my cluster box takeing my afternoon 10 minunet break when i had someone approach my truck. when i opened my door this gentleman asked me to call 911 for he had been shot! needless to say i was shocked for i have not had any reason to believe that this rotue was in a bad neighborhood. it just goes to show that anything can happen anywhere. well as soon as he told me this, i called 911 and stayed with him till the poliece arrived. unfortunally for me though, it was a cold rainey day and shortly after they got there and the ems took the guy off to the hospital, the cops told me that i was in a crime scene and i had to leave immeately. i couldnt get my mail, truck, purse etc. by the way, i only had 2 cluster boxes left to deliver. about 10 mins left. it was about 4:30 in the afternoon when this happened so after i called 911 and the cops arrived, i then called my supervisor to tell him what was going on. so here i am, sitting in an appartment buildings breezeway freezing my ass off and couldnt go anywhere. i mean dont get me wrong, i understand that no one can be inside a taped in crimescene but i couldnt even get my jackett. oh well. finally after about an hour and questioning, the cops finally let me back to my truck and finish delivering the mail. well thats when my supervisiors finally came out to check on me. mind you, my rotue is about 1.5 miles away from the office. i mean what took them so long? well all i can say is that at least they did come to check on me. also, when i got done, i got back to the office and saw my supervisor and said .. " see, i made it back before 6" yea go me. i saved someones life and still got back before our 6 o'clock window. lol. well here is a link to the shooting on the rotue underneith but i think that the news crew took the photos after i had left so my truck is not there in the middle of the crimescene. at least i can say that i was safe and nothing happened to me. but it didnt bother me though. after 2 years working in the hood and ghetto, it toughned me up. so i was cool with it. well i hope that everyone else had a better work day then i did. i just thought that you all would enjoy a good story where i was a good citizen!!! lol.

Well, i'm back. nothing worth writing about has happened  lately ... my life tends to be drama free and also when things are routiene, it gets to be a little boreing. but other than that, i did go out today and jason and i got a new toy. we got a 04' Chevy trailblazer. i'm happy now. now i feel better about getting to work in bad weather. i just know that my mustang wouldnt handle it. i know that here in NC, we dont get the bad weather in winter but just incase of that freak snow, i need something to be able to get to work in. also we needed a second veichele. one for the both of us wasnt enough or pratical. try going on vacation with 2 dogs and luggage for a week in a mustang. lol. well, also, when jason goes on call for a week at work, now he has a reliable car to get him there. so all is good here. its always fun when you get a new car! i'll have some pics up on here when i get them.

other than the new toy, i just got back home from a shrot trip to VA Beach. i left on monday after work and got back friday. that was a good trip too. anywhere but work is a good plave to be sometimes.lol. my brother just got back from a 6 month deployment to south and central america from the navy and i met up with him and my parents there. its good to have family all together again. the trip was nice but not long enough. lol they never are lol and this time, i didnt take a trip and come back to work on a holiday weekend! yea good for me!  i'll have a few pics from that up on here too!

well. gtg. talk to you all later and take care!
