I. Love. Huskies.

I stumbled across a video today that could help me if I ever choose to have a child.





However it could backfire.





so friggin cute

Truck Driver.

Luckily I think I'm close to my breaking point at my job.  I have never disliked something so much.  Actually that's not quite true.  The first position I held at this company I hated so much I almost cried when I had to get up and go to work in the morning.  I'm almost there now with this job.  I have to say it's not the company.  It's not a horrible company to work for by any means.  I also really enjoy the people I work with, well most of them.  I HATE this job though.  Here are some pieces of an e-mail that I received from one of my most admired clients.  

"this is pure insanity." "which would have the exact same “rule” as the fund we are currently jacking around with." "his whole situation is a CLUSTER****!" "because of the incompetence of (I'll leave this out) and (and this.)" "I will encourage the client to take legal action if you do not."

This e-mail stemmed from something my brilliant client was supposed to do but did not.  I love really nice people who blame others for their shortcomings.  Especially when they're a client and you can't very well argue back.  

This job is neither rewarding nor does it pay well.  What am I doing here?  Paying the bills I guess.  I've decided today that pretty soon I will be doing what this lovely lady below is doing:

a female truck driver.  I could do that right?  I  might need some phone books or some type of booster seat.  Travel the United States with my camera, eat at local diners, go by the name of Emma Grace or something like that.  I could listen to Hank Williams Jr, eat beef jerky, drink Milwaukee's best, wear a cowgirl hat, and honk at all the hot guys in convertibles.  Maybe recreate Thelma and Louise without getting my semi blown up.  I have to look into this.

end of summer.

I cannot believe summer is almost over already.  This year has absolutely flow by, which becomes more and more the case every single year.  This has been my year to grow and I think that's happening.  A lot of things have changed and gotten better for me.  I still have a way to go.  But I've found that everyone does.  This is constant.  No one is ever done changing and growing.  It happens every year, month, week, and day.  

I've also learned you can read a million and one inspirational quotes, but your life will stay the same unless you live a couple of them.  Just because you handle things well, don't cry when life gets tough, and seem tough on the outside doesn't mean you are at all.  Most the times you're weaker than the masses.  Because you don't take chances; you live in your tough bubble where there's no risk and consequently no real reward.  I'm willing to take chances again.  Put myself out there.  I look forward to what comes.  

One more month until 30.  Just the right time for a change of pace.

Week 2- Self Portrait

This is a very lazy attempt at a self portrait.  I was bored.  So this is what you get.  More to come.

new obsessions

Recently I've become slightly obsessed with two websites I've just found.


The first one is called Pinterest..   I'm not even sure how I came across it but I can't get enough of it now.  The idea is you pin different items from websites to different boards.  I could be on any website and choose to 'pin' something.  An outfit I like, recipe, design idea, hair style, nail polish, paint color, the sky is the limit.  I can also organize those things onto different boards to make it easy to oragnize things for later use.  I can follow people if I like their boards and the things that they have pinned or I can repin things of theirs that I enjoy.  I ADORE it!


While using Pinterest I came across a website called Polyvore.  You can create outfits and interior spaces just as you would see in a magazine.  I have a ton of clothes but half the things I buy don't have matching shoes, shirts, etc.  It's not a coherent outfit.  I can't wait to use this site to put together somethings I might actually wear and feel fun and cute in.  At a much more reasonable price than found on the site.  Love it.

Cupcakes

It's no secret, I absolutely love cupcakes!  I also really like to bake and decorate and make cute things to eat.  Now that I have a roommate and might actually have some extra cash I want to get back to baking and I'm going to focus on cupcakes.  It will also be nice to have a live in taste tester.  I found this website today to help me get started: Cupcake Project

picnic

Does anyone go on picnics anymore?  I think one sounds like fun and I fully intend to go on one before winter gets here...

Movie Montage

The hats at Macy's can be pretty amazing.

Tired.

I have been absolutely exhausted for the last couple months.  I don't feel right or I guess 100% me.  Unfortunately I'm thinking the job has a lot to do with it.  I've always been the type to not take work home with me.  However I think it's so draining that I don't really have a choice. There are so many things up in the air for me right now that I feel like I'm constantly saying "as soon as this happens" or "as soon as that happens" I'll be good.  I'm sick of waiting for those things to happen.  I think they're all close.  I think I'm almost there.  I hope those things happen for me soon.  I just don't want to be tired anymore.  I love being happy, silly and fun.  I guess good things come to those who wait.  I'm still patiently waiting...

Roomies

I have a roommate for the first time in 5 years.  Wish me luck...
