Craft show?

I have been making these mixed media collages for friends and family lately. I have a blast doing them and they look awesome. My mother mentioned that I should make a bunch and sell them, she suggested doing so at a craft fair.

For some reason the first thought that popped in my head was a booth with a little old lady selling things that she crocheted.

Hmmmmm, it's definately a consideration...we shall see.

Work blows

Ready to go home.... tired of it!

Karma

Someone that I worked with decided last Friday to leave her badge in her file and send an email to the director that she quit... I was here but she didn't have the courtesy to tell me what she was doing or put in a 2 weeks notice. So Saturday we are trying to figure out why she no-showed b/c that email didn't go to everyone...we got it sorted and figured out she bailed on us.

On Monday someone from another department called to let us know that they wanted to hire her in their department, it would have been a pay raise and a better schedule but since she burned her bridges....no new job for her.

HAHA

The world is small, and Karma knows your name.

Question

If you quit your job, and on your last day of work everyone brings lots of food to celebrate does it cross your mind that they might be happy your leaving?

Well I am happy, and the food is good... it took all my will power not to buy champagne glasses to celebrate the departure of the coworker.

Now just a few more select people..hmm maybe I should post their resumes on Monster?

Vacation Friday

One of the best days of the year, the Friday before vacation... and after this hell week at work I need the break.

I think Sub needs a break too since he is wanting to punch people in their VJJ's.

Little A was cute as a button this morning insisting that it was time that I got up and had breakfast because it was light outside. She is such an angel.

Anyway, hope everyone has a great week!

oh, on the broken tooth.. 2 grand and 2 trips to the Dr should get it all replaced. Pliers would be so much cheaper but the Dr has gas so that is a bonus!

I broke my F-n tooth

On the way home last night from work half my tooth fell off along with the filling. Fillings are surprisingly heavy I discovered.

So now I am left with a hole (the outside of the tooth is still there so no gap when I smile..yet). I haven't had a hole in my mouth since I was a kid, it's surprisingly familiar though. I know that I spent many a year sticking my tongue in the holes left by my baby teeth... funny thing to take you back to childhood.

I have a bit of a lisp from this hole, I don't think it is noticable but I can hear it when I am speaking.

I wonder if the tooth fairy pays off on partial tooth loss?

Hot pink to copper

I am working on getting the hair to blonde, but between all of the weekends events there was no way to get to the hair place.. so yet again I dared to do my own. Yes I am glutten for punishment. Yesterday I tried out dark blonde, which seemed to lift out some of the pink and kind of tone down the hair. Maybe if I keep dying it every week it will tone down to a more natural color....either that or my hair will fall out and I will just have to let my freak flag fly.

:(

Pink hair creates a lot of amusement at funerals.

We are having a funeral marathon, went to one on Friday and now we have a wake on Sunday and another funeral on Monday... bad week all round.

Sad sad sad

Cancer is bad.. family and friends of family have passed or are passing this week and I am just sad.

Hug the ones you love.

I stayed home and pinked myself

I had a fight with Clairol and I lost…. First I turned my hair yellow/orange… it was a train wreck. Then I tried using a dark red… I had two theories, either A I would have dark red hair and be rid of the horrible blonde accident, or B when you mix red and yellow you get brown which would just put me back at my normal hair color.

I was wrong on my theory and it turned a hot pink with orange highlights.

I had to go to work like this today, everyone is having a grand old time at my expense. I can do nothing but laugh with them because this is all my fault.

Moral of the story… don’t use 3 year old boxes of hair dye, pay a professional!!!

Hopefully after my scalp stops hurting I can get this fixed!!!

... oddly enough the feedback from co-workers has been quite positive. Apparently I work with a bunch of closet freaks and dirty old men. Today I have been compared to Jean Gray, Strawberry shortcake, some Telemundo chick, the chick from Fifth element, Gwen Stefani... now if I only had their bodies too!

Bye bye fingers

Today Little A was soaking in the tub.

She looked up and said "This is relaxing mom"

The she took her hands and slowly dipped them under the water and said bye bye fingers, as she raised them out of the water she said hello fingers... she did the same with her toes.

I envy her, to be able to lay in the tub and just relax and focus on how the water feels on your body. I don't think I have done that since my trip to London last year.

Holy Burnt tongue

Still coughing, sneezing, blowing, croaking.. and I am VERY thirsty. I made myself a cup of hot chocolate today and managed to burn the holy hell out of my tongue. Now it is raw and sore, just fabulous I tell ya.

So Cool

To wake up in the morning with 2 crusty red eyes. Oh yeah baby Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me... I can give her pink eye for ya!

I think I picked it up at Little A's Dr's office. This is the second time in about a year, ridiculous I tell ya.

yuck

Little A got her first ear infection this week. And her first case of strep throat. I would rather her not experience these firsts but at least she is old enough to tell me what hurts.

This weekend she declared that she was a "guy" and walked up to me, shook my hand and said "nice to meet you."

Cause that is what guys do...

Swag is fun

I got to give out a bunch of freebie stuff today, pens and junk with our company name on it. Always fun times to give away junk.. I always wonder what happens to it, more stuff to clutter up peoples houses and get thrown away in 6 weeks when spring cleaning occurs. Oh well, made for a fun night.

Another lovely day

work work work

Got to see Little J today, after he left everyone commented on how polite he was.. of course he is (I am thinking in my head), he doesn't want his head shaved!!

Baby Loves Disco is tomorrow, we can't make this one but plan on making the one in February... I wish we could go tomorrow though, it really looks like fun.

The blog is pretty boring these days, just not in the mood to formulate thoughts for the masses.

Drowning

I am drowning internally.. I hate being sick.

Hubby scheduled his shoulder surgery during my vacation. Hopefully that will fix the glitch.

Not much else to say, time to go cough some more.

Get out of my nose!

The hamster that was scratching up my nasal cavity has left the building... I am just dealing with the left over mess he left in my face... argh.

I have the dreaded sinus infection that is making the rounds, Yuck Yuck and double Yuck I must say.

So far Little A has dodged the bullet, but today she has a runny nose, so we must watch and see if it is bacteria multiplying in her sinus cavity or if it's just a reaction to the fact that the weather can't make up it's mind. 2 days ago I was running the A/C, yesterday the heater, it really is ridiculous.

NOOO

My throat hurts, my head is stuffy... I think I have gotten the dreaded illness that I almost managed to dodge.

Bitch Bastards with their germs, no sharing!

Stuck sucker

On the way to drop her off today Little A was eating a sucker... I hear "MOMMY" in a panic from the back seat, turn around and the sucker is stuck to her cheek. She said that it hurt to pull it off so I told her to leave it there until we got to Grandma's and then we could get it of with some water. This was a good 10 minutes away from my parents house that she had to sit there with a sucker on her face.

It was wrong to laugh but I did (quietly).. It was wrong to take pictures, but I did... and then I called my mom who met us at the car with a camera.

We finally got the sucker off her face, it was very much like the tongue on a Christmas story :)
