From Miss Boring to Miss Bling

2009-03-31T19:40:00.002-05:00

Ever get to that point where you forget to write?

At work, we moved offices. I have my very own office! It's pretty plain but it's going to be lonely. Previously I had shared it with a coworker, who is way down the hall now. I need to liven the place up.

I'm still enjoying my job. This weekend will be the first time that the museum will be open. I'm really glad.

My two little kittens are growing. They are girl kitties with boy names. :-) I'm original with their names.

Life

2009-02-17T19:28:00.002-06:00

Lately life has been about work and useless tv. This weekend was the holiday, so I had a day off. I spent it painting my room and watching tv. I don't think I even watched a movie, it seemed like it flew by and I was glad to go back to work.

I still don't have a love life. Is it normal for a 27 year old to be so single? Well, that's the shape I'm in.

I painted my room! Well, one wall atleast. It's a plum color and looks more grown up compared to the lavender that was on it. I ordered a duvet but it doesn't come in until March, so I'll eventually have my room ready by then.

A Sunday

2009-01-18T11:30:00.002-06:00

Right now I'm just here with the kitties. I don't have any plans for today, well as of yet. My friends parents house burned down and I have some clothes for her mom, so maybe I'll get out later. I think that's the best thing about winter, you have time to relax but then it gets lonely sometimes. Last night was the loneliness night. I went to town that afternoon and got a pizza. Then I watched the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. That has to be the saddest movie ever. Usually I never cry during movies but it made me cry.

Revision

Guess what! I actually have plans for New Years Eve! My friends are renting a cabin, which looks more like log home! I never do anything for nye as you can tell!! I'll have to tell all of you lonely readers how the night went. Wish me luck. ;-)

New Years

2008-12-28T20:52:00.001-06:00

I never liked New Years. It's kind of overrated, well in my book. I usually go to bed early and then eat black eyed peas the next day.

Stranger

2008-12-22T20:29:00.002-06:00

I have no readers but I still post here. That sounds like the story of my life.

What's new with me? Hmm... let's see. My job is full time now! I'm really glad because it was very hard getting by on part time money, but some how some way, I did it.

My birthday is in a few days! I don't know why I should be excited. I wish I was receiving something shiny from a handsome man. I didn't say it had to be a diamond, it could be a shiny kitchen aid mixer!

Guess what happen to me! My hand mixer that my grandma had for probably 30 years died on me. How appropo. The poor mixer over heated when I was making sugar cookies. It was really sad for me. The mixer was like a part of my family.

Like I said, I have no love life. Why should I keep hoping that I will meet someone? This is my 27th Christmas without a boyfriend. That sounds like the perfect lifetime movie doesn't it? Sometimes I want someone and then there's times that I don't. I even confuse myself. I think I just get lonely.

I have all of my presents bought except for a few.

This Saturday we're going to Dallas to see the Neiman Marcus window. I'm not going to go to any after Christmas sales because I'm going to save my money for Dallas!

Starting Over

2008-11-27T11:51:00.002-06:00

I haven't had any time to blog lately. Things have been really busy but not hectic.

My grandma got sick about a month ago and earlier this month she passed away. She had been in the hospital for three weeks. I'm glad that she's not still in the hospital or in a nursing home.

This blog is going to have a new meaning, probably. It will chronicle my life on my own. Yes, I have my own responsibilities and even more since she's not here.

I live with my uncle who come in and out but really has nothing to do around here. Hey, I'm telling the truth.

I have to get used to it. I know that my grandma would want me to take care of her house.

Yesterday my little cousins came over and helped me put up the tree. I think they decorated it even better than I could ever do it! Some how they didn't clump everything together but everything is even spread out. I told my cousins that they did a great job and that it would have been hard to put the tree up all by myself. The night before, the littlest one, Allie said that it must be sad to live here all by myself. I think little kids speak the truth.

Yesterday afternoon, my stepdad put the lights up on the house! I'm so excited. Yes, I know it's early but our house looks so nice. We're going to put more lights up later.

My grandma's been sick so no blogging for the moment. :(

My grandma's been sick so no blogger for the moment. :(

I'm the...

2008-10-05T16:43:00.002-05:00

blogger that fell of the face of the blogosphere.

I've been busy with work, photography and life. How about that?

With work, we had a festival and an event for my department, so I'm worn out.

With photography, I had an art show exhibition last Monday and a competition on Thursday. At the competition I won 2nd and 3rd. It was just mere luck that the person who won 1st, won 1st.

As with life, my aunt from California is visiting us for a week. Tuesday she goes back home.

Lightning got my modem. :*-( I took my laptop to Circuit City last week to have them check it out. They ran diagnostics and found a lot of malware and they need to ship my pc off to get the modem checked out. Since I have no modem, no internet in my neck of the woods, yep, I *still* have dialup.

The Weekend

2008-09-14T14:41:00.002-05:00

I never have big plans for the weekend, but lately, I've been busy! I think all of September will be busy. At the end of the month, we have the festival at work, then there's like a couple dozen birthday's (ok, I'm exaggerating!) It will be a busy time around here. Yes, I know I repeat my self quite often.

Friday night I went out. Yes, I know I had to work on Saturday. Saturday at my work is pretty slow, which is excellent. I went to hear a local band that I have seen two other times. One time it was here and the second was at the same place I went Friday. When I got there, I thought I was going to meet one of the guys who plays in the bands' girlfriends but she wasn't there. I wasn't so freaked, but then someone hollered at me. It turns out to be a girl that works at the school. I was relieved that I knew someone. Finally Kari showed up and then soon after that, the girls I first saw left. I hung out with Kari for the rest of the night. I still can't believe the guys still knew me. It's not like they're so famous that they forget who you are the next time you see them. To tell you the truth, I kind of have a thing for the guitar player. Who wouldn't? Right? He's just so cute. Now I'm embarrassing myself.

I also saw one of my old guy friends. He's newly single and moved back home. Don't be getting any ideas, he's almost like my brother. It's weird how you miss someone and so relieved that they're back. I try not to mention him to my family so often so they won't get the idea that I like him. You know what I mean.

I have no clue what I'm going to do for the rest of my remaining days off. I'll probably work on reorganizing my craft area of my room (it's a mess), embroidery, pics and then work on my quilt.

Today

2008-09-01T21:32:00.002-05:00

Today we had a family dinner and then went to my work. I didn't have to work, but my some of my family have never been to my work. We had a great day. We finished up the day by making the girls lei's from Rose of Sharon flowers. They liked them.

You know what's weird, I came in DC 3 years ago last Thursday. It's bizarre, I tell you. It seems like I was just there! It's weird how times flies by. I miss that place, but also am glad that I'm here.

(un) News

2008-08-27T08:43:00.002-05:00

I need to go shopping. I have tons of shirts that I don't wear, I think I'll just wash them and take them to the salvation army. Someone else will get good use with them. I also would like some shoes. What girl doesn't like shoes?

Life is great. I still like my job and the home-living-situation is still good. I'm car-less at the moment. Once again, my car has been in the shop. I only had it for a day before I had to take it back to the shop.

I've been busy with my crafts on my days off. I also got a new cellphone!

Another Rainy Day

2008-08-19T09:08:00.003-05:00

I'm sitting here at the library. My car is still in the shop! I'm supposed to get it soon. It's been there for almost two weeks. I have a meeting at 11:00 am, so I rode to work with my mom. Fun times. So after I dropped her off, I went to a diner downtown and had a big country breakfast, minus the eggs. It was so good. I've been wanting a big breakfast ever since Saturday.

Everybody keeps asking if I like my job. It's been about a month and a half since I started there and I really enjoy it. I also really like the people I work with, they aren't, let's say like the people I used to work with.

I'm so happy with my new bookcase! It has all of my craft stuff plus some of my knick knacks (sp). I'll have to post a picture of it soon!

I'm thinking about what I need, shopping wise. I want a new tv, probably a flat screen that doesn't have to be huge and a new purse. What I probably need to do is pay my bills first. Where's Suze Orzman when you need her?

Excitement

2008-08-13T15:34:00.002-05:00

My parents got a new tv! It's like a 45 inch hdtv. It's amazing. At first my eyes had to get used to it, for some reason I have to sit in front of it instead of on the side. Yeah, I know I'm weird. We watched the baseball and olympics last night and it was cool to watch it on such a big television! I want to get one for myself. Would anyone be willing to buy me one? :-D j/k

Tuesday

2008-08-12T13:10:00.003-05:00

Lately it's been raining. I think it's probably in the lower 70's right now. It's the perfect weather for August. I think it's supposed to last for a couple of days. There's been plenty of August's that's been in the 100+'s. That's just too uncomfortable for me.

I bought some craft boxes yesterday at walmart. I had been looking for some online and went ahead and bought those that I saw even though they are white. I painted them black. I hope that they will actually work and I wasn't wasting my time. I'm hoping to buy some black magazine files for my room. Atleast I'm looking to get my room organized. I've found a book shelf, now I just need to figure out what I'm going to do with my ribbon.

The garden is still looking good and that's why I'm thankful for all the rain that we've had. Atleast I haven't had to water the garden in a few days.

I bought an Amy Butler pattern for a bag and some of her material. Let's hope that it will turn out. I wish I had my own sewing machine. My mom has one, but I need my own.

Finishing

2008-08-09T22:02:00.002-05:00

I went to my friends wedding this evening. This had to be the shortest wedding, but it was a great wedding. I love small weddings. I don't think I've ever been to a large or even gigantic wedding like those on platinum weddings. I told my friend Kami that I plan on eloping.

I have a new blog. It's called, Crafty Christine. How appropriate, you know?

I'm so tired. I worked today and just got ready afterwards. It was a good thing that the wedding was later and not at 5 or 6 pm. I have no idea really what I plan on doing for the rest of the week. My cousins are now in school, so I can't exactly go over to their house.

I haven't heard from the New Yorker lately. It's been so strange. I know he's busy, but atleast he could give me an explanation. I hope he knows that I can definitely see when he's invisible and when he logs off. Well, it kind of puts new york people in a league of their own, I do say.

I'm working on my cafepress shop. I think the address is http://cafepress.com/brown777

Let's See

2008-08-05T09:28:00.002-05:00

Why am I a sucker for everything from JCPenney home? Plus they're having another sale! I need to pay down that bill before I buy anything.

Why do I always want to go shopping when I'm near my period being bloated and uncomfortable? That makes no sense at all. When I'm feeling fine, I have no effort to buy anything.

I have a wedding to go to on Saturday! I only wish I had that day off, so I could get my hair fixed and look like a million dollars.

I'm in the crafty mood. Right now I'm just organizing everything that I have and seing what I have. I did make a set of embroderied pillow cases as a wedding present for my friend.

Nine hundred and one

2008-07-30T21:49:00.002-05:00

Today I went to Oklahoma City. My goal was to organize my closet. Thank goodness, I definitely need some organization. When I got home tonight, I cleaned off my bed, it's been full of stuff since Monday. It will be nice to sleep in my own bed!

Our teeny insy bity town has a snowcone stand! It's a yummy place. I've waited for 20+ years to get snow cones in my very own hometown. I hope it stays in business.

Work is tomorrow. It's pretty good and I hope we have some visitors.

Waiting Around

2008-07-24T17:43:00.001-05:00

I'm installing something and I have 10 minutes left. How else could I 'use' the time? Why not write something down then?

This is post number 900! I can't believe it. Big deal, huh? I doubt any fire works will be going off.

Yesterday I got back from a short vacation to Denver. It was a great time for such a short amount of time.

Work is going great. Today we actually had visitors! Some days we don't.

Happenings and all of that

2008-07-14T08:39:00.002-05:00

I think I've posted the other day. That's how (un)slow I've been.

My cousins came down for the weekend and it was full of talk about they don't like the airport or airplanes (they are five) and their obsession with snow cones.

We took them to the lake yesterday. None of them had ever been. We didn't do much, just watch the boats and took them over the bridge that goes over the lake.

This week, I just plan on relaxing. Today I'm having lunch with my friend at 11 at the store. Oh, just a glamorous place I tell you.

Next week I'm going to Denver! I'm so excited about it. I've never been. I think on Monday night we're going to a baseball game. Then the next day we're going to Cheyenne, Wyoming which isn't that far.

2008-07-11T17:43:00.002-05:00

So here I am at the library trying to upload pictures. Fun stuff, I tell you. I miss having higher than dialup internet. I guess I should just be lucky to have the internet in the middle of nowhere.

I had a great July 4th weekend. I went to a small hometown parade that morning and watched baseball that afternoon. What could get better, I tell you? The next day I went to my cousins house and just enjoyed the weekend. Sunday we went to Pop's then to Oklahoma City to Bricktown. It was a very exciting day.

I've been at my new job for probably three weeks and I really enjoy it. I bet some people wouldn't like taking care of a 100 plus year old home, but I really enjoy it. It's not like I'm cooped up inside under a fluorescent light all day.

I'm going to Colorado in a few weeks and I'm really excited about that. One day we're going to explore the area and then the next, we're going to manage to find our way up to Cheyenne. The rodeo is occurring at that same time, so we plan on going there also.

Happiness

2008-07-03T22:39:00.002-05:00

I'm happy. Jeff Hobbs makes me happy. Yes, I'm crazy. Last Saturday I met my friends who are friends with the guys from Jeff Hobbs and the Jacks. They were great! I really look forward to seeing them again soon!

I won the Best of Show award at our employee art show. I still can't believe it. I had won honorable mention on the picture that won. The award was voted on by fellow employees!!!

Events

2008-06-22T10:23:00.002-05:00

This week was the longest week possible. I had orientation and then I started my new job on Friday. Since I had orientation, I got Friday off! It was really nice but all we did on that day was wait for the mail to come which didn't until after 4:30.

Last night I was so tired and bored, that I needed to get out of the house. I would've taken pictures, but I've taken pictures of everything in this lower part of the county. I went to town and dropped off my books then went to the bookstore. I finally found a book, it was for my grandma and then I found a digital scrapbook magazine. The cash register decided to crash, so I left. I told my grandma that I was sorry for not getting her the book and she said that it's the thought that counts. I guess I'll have to wait for another day to get those items.

I really miss having dsl or cable. I wish there were some free wifi places in town. Both the university and public library have wifi but they're not open on Sundays. BTW, it's open in the evening from 4-8 pm.

I really like the people that I'm working with at my new job. They seem really honest and that's what I like in a person. I've worked several places where that wasn't always right. You can ask them anything and they'll give you an answer.

Yawn

2008-06-17T23:20:00.002-05:00

I'm up and it's late. I should be in bed, but I'm awake! Grrr...

Today was my 2nd day of orientation. It's getting boring. Tomorrow is the last day.

My friend from high school, James and my cousin Steven is in orientation, so it's not so bad. It could be worse if I didn't know a single person. I'm going to miss those guys when we all have to start our jobs on Thursday.

Since I'm starting my new job, the company is having an employee art show. I'm going to enter some a collage and photographs. Wish me luck!
