Dented Karma

Butterflies on steroids

2012-02-14T20:08:00.000-06:00

Okay major project, check! Finally, I am beginning to knock a dent in all the many projects stressing me out. I didn't know if I was going to make it a 45 minute presentation without really embarrassing myself but I managed to survive. I don't think I will volunteer for another presentation for a very long time. It's 7:45 pm and I am still very wired. I do feel like it is good to push yourself

It's only Monday and I am this exhausted??

2012-02-13T20:38:00.002-06:00

Today was a whirl wind of projects that I didn't want to work on but required my attention. Since we got three to four inches of snow last night, the Commission meeting was cancelled. I was relieved that I didn't have to video tape our Director, edit the tape, and caption the video. I was going to be able to work on other time sensitive projects. Nope! The Director called and said "I want to tape

I am trying my best to be super mellow this weekend and for the most part, I have succeed. I have only worked on my side job, which is fresh and I enjoy it. My full time job is so exhausting that even thinking about working causes a heaviness to fall all about me. Yesterday, I watched movies all day. First it was road kill - you know, the one you don't want to look but you do any way. Twilight,

IT'S FRRRRIIIIIDDDAAAAYYY

2012-02-10T19:05:00.001-06:00

Never had I needed a week to be over as much as I needed this week to end. Three of my massive projects will be finished by Wednesday and on Wednesday I will crash. I am paying extra care to put my day job on hold for the weekend.The only work I plan to do is for my side job but forget the day job. So I took Mom and Dad to the airport then went and go a mani-pedi and now I sit waiting for

Emotional Overload

2012-02-09T20:30:00.000-06:00

One of the things that I hate the most about myself is that I am a complete bawl baby. And to make it worse when I get over worked or on too tight of deadlines, someone can look at me crossways and I will bawl like the world is coming to an end. I want to stop crying at work, people think you are unstable. I just want to be tough as nails and not care about anything. Unfortunately that is not

The Shine has worn off my brillance

2012-02-07T20:42:00.002-06:00

Lately, work has been incredibly busy and I have been traveling all over the state. I actually like it except for today's drive, the Malibu they gave me had a super rough drive. I drove to Tulsa and back by 1:30 p.m. and was plum worn out. The flood of work won't slow down until probably May. I am not overly thrill about this but have decided that I will do what I can and the other stuff will

Today I had to go take care of insurance. Not exactly what you call fun mainly because it can be mind numbingly boring and confusing. My homeowners insurance went up $175 and I wanted to know why. Come to find out that when my roof was re-roofed three years ago, I had to notified my agent and provide some paperwork so that it can be entered into the master computer or else it keeps jacking up

I not blue, I am indigo

2012-01-26T19:37:00.000-06:00

Bad day. Really bad day. Every time I think things are settling down, chaos ensues and I am back to square one. I don't like square one. You know what else I don't like? I don't like baked pork chops. I made them tonight for the first time ever and nope, not for me. I've got three more in the freezer and not sure what to do with them. I am hoping the George Foreman Grill will make them taste

Thank you to all our Veterans

2011-11-11T11:37:00.000-06:00

I want to thank all the veterans who have fought and served so that I can speak my mind and live freely. To my Father, Tommie Tallon, Veteran served during peacetime; To a family friend, Lee DeGraffenried, Veteran served during peacetime; To my uncles, Donald Griffith, Vietnam Veteran; John McMurtrie, Vietnam Veteran; To my cousin, Roy (Trey) Moore, Veteran served during

I know that I have been noticeably absent from my handy dandy blog. Plain and simple, I have been burned out with technology. My Facebook activity has been lacking as well. Since I began blogging years ago, I have always written in spurts and for that I apologize. A couple of weeks ago I was hit with a respiratory infection of the massive kind and it really kicked my butt. Everyday I would

Exhausted - talk among yourselves, I will be back

Enough for now...

It's football again

2011-09-22T19:27:00.000-05:00

It's the good time for TV again, all the shows that I watch are coming out with new episodes. The problem I have is that I am really into my book. So this means that I watch TV all evening and read all night. I am exhausted all day long and the cycle continues. It's kind of the fish or cut bait delima but I choose to do both. I am one book from being done with Raymond Fiest and series for a

My family is rocking on exhaustion right now. My 98 year old mean great aunt, fell last week at the assistive living home she lives at. The place she lived at was like Spanish Cove or the The Villages in Florida for the poor. It was really nice. But when she fell, it meant that she needed more attention than she was getting at the assistive living home. So from when she fell Wednesday night, mom

This is not suiting me at all!

2011-09-13T06:23:00.001-05:00

I hate this time of year. It is the time that my body violently mutinies against me. I have be dying with extremely itchy eyes, runny nose and a headache to top all headaches. I wake up every morning in so much pain and nauseated to the point of frustration (if I am going to feel like hurling then just do it and get it over with). I would have called in sick yesterday but it was Monday and I

The games have begun

2011-09-08T19:22:00.000-05:00

Tomorrow I head to Tulsa for an advocacy conference with Co-Worker Linda. Yeah, not only will the information be good but it will be nice to be able to catch up with Linda. This week has be insane and I don't feel like I have left my office for more than five minutes at a time. I am looking forward to the trip because we always have fun on road trips. I only wish that this one didn't have to

Read the Book!

2011-09-06T19:50:00.000-05:00

I should be rejoicing in this beautiful weather we are having, from 110 degrees to 80 over night is a glorious thing. But I feel like crap. I think the radical weather change has my allergies on over drive and making me feel all around blah. I should be well rested due to the fact that Mom and I watched 13 episodes of "To Serve Them All My Days" an show made from RF Delderfield's book. The book

I am now coding my websites with HTML5 and have upgraded from Internet Explorer 8 to Internet Explorer 9. Actually, I haven't cared much one way or the other about IE, I have just always had to use it because JAWS users must use it. I have to design for IE. I am surprised that I really like it. It seems real fast and HTML5 components and CSS3 tend to behave the way they are supposed to. What

Lost in the Abysis of Nothingness

2011-08-28T11:42:00.000-05:00

The weekend goes well but the big dog is such a bed hog. I am sleeping with my legs curled up, Winston at the top of the bed and Seamus encompassing one third of the bottom of the bed. We have been very lazy and messy these last two days. We watched Jane Eyre and Pillars of the Earth Part II, now I am watch Losers. I was disappointed with the new Jane Eyre. The second Jane Eyre movie was better.

Boredom and Movie

2011-08-25T20:00:00.001-05:00

This weekend I plan to do nothing of important. NOTHING. I need peace and calm. I need to be a drama-free as possible. I plan to get the new Jane Eyre movie. I may even pick up my book again. I will not make my bed, hang my clothes or put up my dishes. I will be a total complete bum. Seamus will be with us all weekend, which I cannot wait. Since the vet has put him on thyroid medicine his fur is

Notice I have been absent lately? Well, I am not such a good blogger if I have to blog from my desk. I will ramble quite nicely from my couch but not so good from my really cool desk. That's a place for work and I really don't want this blog to be work. See I ramble... anyway, my wireless router died and I just got my replacement router. The new toy is fast! I am liking it. My house had it

This little piggy went wa wa wa all the way home

2011-08-16T20:18:00.001-05:00

Lordy, lordy, lordy! I have to say I have worked my toes off or at least worked them numb. Me and my parents have been cleaning the house and making it look as pretty as it can before the appraiser comes to grade all our hard work. We worked all weekend making the place look great. I am amazed that my ity bity house could be so hard to clean and get ready for scrutiny. Friday night after work:

Rain, Rain, Don't Go Away

2011-08-11T20:30:00.003-05:00

The glorious rain came today but why did it have to come the very minute I had an appointment across town and I had no umbrella. Somehow I didn't mind the drenching I got running to my car. I even didn't mind the ominous sky from my floor to ceiling windows in my office. Spooky skies are kind of neat when you roll your chair right up to the edge. I am also thrilled that it rained for longer

Today, I had to enter my employee account services where my payroll stubs go and my leave accrual reports go, the important things that you need but only occasionally. So I go to log in with this arbitrary ID number that I can never remember. Then I have to enter a password that changes every 90 days so I have to write it down, mainly because I rarely go to the account services. When I entered

New outlet mall opened this weekend and from the looks of driving by the crowds were completely insane. Just what I need a name brand outlet mall for my sister to trek down from Dumas, TX and empty my wallet. Every October, Kim comes for the Affair of the Hearts, Hobby Lobby, Garden Ridge, Kohl's and anything else we can go to without our feet giving out. Each year, I spend about a grand
