Sociable by nature with an eye for the eclectic. I enjoy being around others and am especially attracted to the creative world. Others are drawn to me and admire me. I thrive out in the world and appreciate being surrounded by other people. The only exception to this is when I'm working in the creative realm, finding myself completely engrossed in a project for hours at a time. I am competitive, driven by a desire to outdo others. I am a Leader, I function best when leading others.
These are the random acts I have done so far. Each time I do another random act of kindness I will add it to the list.

Spidery Peanut Butter Cookies
Makes: 5-1/2 dozen | Prep: 45 minutes | Bake: 12 minutes
Ingredients
* 2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
* 1 tsp. baking powder
* 1 tsp. baking soda
* 1/4 tsp. salt
* 1 cup Skippy Natural Creamy or Super Chunk Peanut Butter Spread
* 12 Tbsp. I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!
* 3/4 cup granulated sugar
* 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
* 2 eggs
* 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions
1. Preheat over to 350*. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in small bowl; set aside.
2. Beat Skippy Natural Creamy Peanut Butter Spread with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! All purpose Sticks in large bowl with electric mixer until smooth. Beat in sugars, then eggs and vanilla until blended. Beat in flour mixture just until blended.
3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Arrange cookies on ungreased baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
4. Bake 12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove to wire rack and cool completely. Decorate, if desired, to look like spiders.
* If decorating like spiders, press a mini peanut butter cup into top of each cookie while still warm. When chocolate starts to melt, attach pretzel "legs" by sticking them into melted chocolate. Let cool completely then attach coated candy pieces for "eyes" and sugar pears for "pupils" with peanut butter. Don't have sugar pears? White decorating gels also works.
Saw this on another post and thought it I'd share. Feel free to do the same! – Bean
Challenge yourself to perform 26 random acts of kindness between now and the end of 2012, honoring the 26 lives lost in CT.
"Knock", written by Fredric Brown, is a science fiction short story that starts with a description of "a sweet little horror story that is only two sentences long." It then goes on to elaborate on those two sentences and build a more complete plot around them.
It was published in the December 1948 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories. There have been three different radio adaptations (Dimension X, X Minus One and Sci Fi Channel's Seeing Ear Theatre). The story was reprinted in The Best Science Fiction Stories: 1949[1]
The first two lines are a complete short-short story by themselves:
The alien Zan have killed off all life other than pairs of specimens for their zoo of exotic Earth flora and fauna. Walter Phelan is the last man on Earth, but Grace Evans, the last woman, is not overly impressed with him and maintains her distance.
The Zan, who are immortal, become disturbed when one by one the other animals begin to die. They turn to Walter for advice. He tells them that the creatures have perished from lack of affection, suggesting that they pet the survivors regularly to keep them alive. He demonstrates with one of them. When the Zan begin to die, they depart the planet in fear. It is then revealed that the creature Walter advised them to pet was a poisonous snake.
Then Walter discusses the future of the human race with Grace. She is shocked by his proposal and leaves as he intended to use the zan technology left behind to create "the master race". The narrative then ends as it began:
Day 20: I am thankful God has given me the ability to hear, to see, to talk, the sense of smell and the ability to walk. I am also thankful to Faline and Jen because they have cleaned this house from top to bottom, cleaned it spotless. I am thankful to them for getting everything prepared and ready for Thanksgiving Dinner on Thursday here at our house because family will be here and we’ll have a full house. I am thankful for all the hard work they have been doing this week. Thank y’all <3

At the beginning of November we started Operation Christmas Child. I was and still am very excited to be a part of this. It’s a great cause and lots of children are going to be happy and blessed with God’s love this Christmas. I love my job because our company is always raising money for something and that’s one thing I love doing.
At work we’re raising money for OCC, we ask customers if they would like to donate to OCC. With the money we buy items and fill the items in a shoe box for different age groups for boys and girls. The shoe boxes are picked up and off they go to their destinations. Each child gets a shoe box for Christmas, no not children around here or in the U.S. Children in other countries who don’t have anything at all. I love doing this because I am grateful for everything I had growing up as a child and grateful for everything I have now. Those children over there have nothing. Children around here and in the U.S. have Toys For Tots, Salvation Army, Angel Tree and I’m sure many many other organizations that makes sure they do not go without during Christmas. It’s a good cause and I am proud and happy that I get to be a part of it.
The more shoe boxes we pack the more shoe boxes each child will get for Christmas. I stuffed a shoe box full of Spider-Man items and put my name and photo and address in it. I hope the boy that gets it writes me back, that would be cool. Every child should feel the joy and love on Christmas.

Long Description:
There is no shortage of deaths around this tunnel before it was closed. A fatal train accident that killed 2 firefighters here in the early 1900's . Then 10 men died during a lock 6
accident later on in the 1920's. 8 men were killed on site and then 2 more later on in hospital, and shortly thereafter another 8 workers were killed before
the tunnel was finally shut down and decommissioned.
Though some reports speak of confusing drops of water from the melting ice with whistling, other reports have mentioned that the whistling hummed a very specific tune.
Conversations have been heard coming from the tunnel’s east end, and music, early 20th century music described as coming from an old music box has been heard as well.
Official names for this tunnel during its usage have been "The Great Western Railway Tunnel", "The Merritton Tunnel", and "The Grand Trunk Railway Tunnel"
If visiting, take lots of pictures. There is an unexplained mist that might appear in many of them!
Type: Ghost Stories and Local Haunts

This tunnel is called the "Grand Trunk Railroad Tunnel"
Well, I have installed Windows Live Essentials 2012 which comes with Windows Live Writer so now I can update my blog. I haven’t updated it in quite awhile.
I’ve been working a lot, work keeps me busy but I love my job. This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and at work we’re raising money for Breast Cancer Awareness. Each store in our company has a goal of $600 to raise. Well, we have exceeded that goal. Last time my boss checked we had $900 something I think. We’re so close to $1,000 and I hope we’re able to get it too. I only did $2.15 last night in donations because I wasn’t busy at all and had very little customers.
