The NAME GAME.

In browsing through blogs, I found a girl who'd gotten tagged and really liked the rules of it. I didn't get tagged but it inspired me, so here's my take...

The NAME GAME.
The name of the game is to:List one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the name you would have liked to have had. When you are tagged you need to write your own blog post containing your middle name game facts. At the end of your blog post you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog. My middle name is:

Having someone that loves me so much is the greatest feeling in the world.
Everyday i try to think of one thing that I can work on improving.
Lpn school is what i really have my heart set on right now-and i hope i don't let anyone down.
Emotions consume me sometimes..good and bad..to the extreme.
New experiences are awaiting me and I can't wait to be a part of them.
Art consumes me, moves me, completes me, is my way of expression.

Hmmm..Doing that sparked a few ideas for me..So i know i'll probably add it to the list and get to eventually..but when i do-it's gonna be fantastic.

I love this!!!!

And this is where I rant and rave...

Spent a few hours last night getting crafty...It was wonderful...Did i mention i watched the bachelor?? That show there-i just couldn't imagine having to "fight" with a bunch of other katty women to prove my worthyness to be with this guy. To share him amongst the rest..Call me crazy..It's just not my cup o' tea..So back to the craftyness...I bought some new christmas supplies a week or so ago and finally got to use them. i purchased some imaginescince(sp??) paper, bo bunny brads(LOVE them), 7 gypsies, making memories chipboard letters(LOVE) them.. Some of the papers i bought were inspired by jeremy's mom. I thought of her once i found the first item i'd purchased..they were these vintage looking stickers, full of christmas sayings and words...so i based my paper collection on that...I'm pretty happy with the outcome...

On another note...once i finally laid down to sleep last nite around 12:30(i'm a nite owl)..i tossed and turned due to this massive ear infection I've been fighting for a few weeks now...Talk about unbearable...I sat up with tears streaming down my face...Argh...Used a few HOT compresses..and 2 500mg tylenol to at least lighten it enough for me to get some sleep...Antibiotics-here i come...Ear infection..you can go to HELL...

Sunday evening I'm flying to Dallas to do some training for the company I work for. I'm a little nervous, no vehicle (as of right now) to get me around...HATE the idea of having to sit in a hotel for four days surrounded by walls where other people have been doing god knows what..with no one to laugh about it with...but excited b/c I may get to see my Uncle & Aunt while I'm there...They're good peeps..i love spending time with them..maybe they can point out some artsy stores for me to check out..I'll be there for 4 days..I'm bound to get into something....

7 hours pass...................................

So i paused in writing/ranting to "work" at work...persued my day in all its glory...then got home to clean...and "manage" my bills...one of those damn bills was my speeding ticket which i could've SWORN was due the last week in October...Well something told me to call to double check the cost..so i did...to find out that it was due the 1st....penalty=warrant & double the fine...BIG fine...OUCH..i could scream.....it's just been one of those days...

glad to be home....well at my Aunts tonite..but that's good enough for me..

And THAT is "All she wrote..." but just for today...I'm flowing with so much...

Do you Exist???

So i still find it weird to sit and type in front of a computer screen- to an audience I'm not sure exists..though it's still my natural instinct..

Just thought I'd throw that out there since i have somewhat of a hard time sharing with the rest of the world. It's been a hell of a ride these oast few months...the company I worked for was pretty SHADY resulting in one person firing me..thats right..i was FIRED...yet he told everyone i quit...go figure..i kept holding on for bigger and better things-only for that moment to never come..but to open my eyes for new experiences..-i did get promoted...for titles sake-but demoted for the sake of cutting costs...WTF????!! Searching for a new job-while i persue school once again-this time hoping i can finish as an LPN...Im truly excited for such a change..I hope things turn out the way i dream them to be...

Otherwise-I've had a hard time finding inspiration ti just sit and create art-its been a true struggle-especially since its my heart burning passion..I don't know what my problem is..maybe the stress?? Don't get me wrong..i sit and create..but not like the GROOVE i tend to get into..when im FEELING it...i want that again real soon...i CRAVE it..i know im good at what i do..i want it to seep through my pores..

I can say-i am VERY FORTUNATE to have such kickass friends/family...And the love of my life..He's there for me with nothing but positive reinforcement & a few swift kicks in the ass-HE ROCKS..Im truly lucky..

Up to date..For labor day weekend, we went tubing! Good times..pics are enclosed..see below!

And this is the absolute cutest potbelly pig I've ever met...love it!
And for the record-I will post some crafty pics soon...-cuz like i said- i haven't stopped-i just dont explode like i normally do...::pouts::

All is wonderful all is good-i may have a new job..ROCK OUT..and i've done soooo many math problems i could spew them in your lap....

until next time... ::cheers::
