Party!

Feb 1, 2014

The party was fun!

(Also, Post #75!!)

Oh, the fluctuations of life!

Life is so interesting! I have been impressed over the last month about how my priorities can shift in what seems to be such a short amount of time! I am proud to say that I have excelled in some areas! I am doing much better at the beginning of February than I was in January! Yay for improvement! I am quite pleased with those aspects of my life.

Also, I am looking forward to celebrating some family birthday parties for these first three months of the year! One of which is my dads! Hooray for how much he has always done, and continues to do for me! I hope that we can continue to grow in our relationship!

Yes. I made that word up.

Haven't blogged for a while, so I decided I would.

Got these from a internet search I did quite some time ago, and thought they were pretty.

Just feeling low.

Once Upon A Time...

There have been many times in my life when I did not think life could truly be any better.

One of those times was during my college experience. I gained and realized a few friends that I think will endure for quite some time and will have little change in affection, except for increase, for the rest of when we can still communicate… even if that may mean we simply laugh at each other when our dentures aren't in yet!

Yes….

…. This is a Pirate.

And then there have been others too… times and friends.

The Ocean

Aubs

They encourage me to keep swimming…

umm… yeah… some of us don't have dentures yet, but we still laugh!

Thank you to my dear friend that helped me take the courage to show my face. I know you are reading this. You make up 1/2 my audience on a good month!

Before ANYONE says ANYTHING… Yes. I know it is not September 19 today.

One more year has passed. Happy Birthday to my sister. One year closer to seeing my Mom again.

This was my treat 1 year and approximately 6 hours ago.

Also, I have been enjoying Pride & Prejudice lately.

I Am Awesome.

Happy Halloween. This was me a year ago with my wonderful roommate!

.... Now, that is out of the way. 

Sometimes, after quitting a job, you get over it and go out looking for another one to eventually quit. -That's the truth y'all.

During that time you work on resumes, search for certificates, awards, education, employment info and so on.

When you finally don't know where else to look to make yourself more enticing to a prospective employer, you actually look at your resume and think: "Oh. Man. I've got to trim this." and then you sit in awe and think: "HA!!! I AM SO AWESOME I'D BE FLIPPIN' FOR MYSELF!!!"

You get all excited that you might get the job(s) that you are hoping for, and within a few days you've accepted an offer... somewhere else. Surprise! You show up to see you new co-workers, and think: "I am a little over-qualified for this job. Self, you really applied for a restaurant?"

Yeah, I have a new job.

Oh, you might want to know, I WENT OUT OF THE COUNTRY!!! I SAW THE OCEAN!!!!

What wasn't to love? -Mostly, I came back with a hope that there would be some snow to come home to. There was snow. That's why I came back.


My hair- before and after.

My Apologies... again.

My, oh my. How time flies.

I don't exactly recall the purpose of blogging, but I do think that I should include a photo in my posts.

So, I give you... some stuff.

Just so you know... I turned this picture of a necklace,

Into a lovely 5"x10" hand embroidered masterpiece, this.

If only the embroidery and the edging were considered, I think I spent about 14 hours doing it. Unfortunately, much more time was consumed than that.

What I am saying is, this is something I can do, and I can do a great job at it. All it took is a idea, stitching stuff, a comfy couch, and a good show (The Mentalist).

Also, a selfie (of the tall, tall weeds).
