I love my team!

I have been working at a fabulous company for coming up on a year now.  My boss is awesome, and my co-workers are awesome and everyone is awesome. I love them all. They all make going to work every day a joy!  Caitlyn, one of my co-workers who has been a sort of intern is going off to college at GA Tech this fall and yesterday was her last day working with us before she leaves......sad day. :(  So anyway, we went bowling last night to celebrate her going to college...kinda her going away party.  We had a great time....every one was drunk except for us "under agers"  and it was pretty funny actually.  We also played laser tag and danced when good songs came on the speakers.  It was just great.  

Caitlyn always makes work fun...me and her have a great time working together on stuff and just being crazy.  We work well together and that helps a lot too!!  I've been so blessed to get to know her!!  I'll miss her, but hopefully she'll be back when she's home for a while.  

:)

From L to R:  Indira, Linda (BL :)  Caitlyn, and me.  

God Bless!!

You learn something new every day

I have recently come to terms with the fact that 

you cannot possibly please everyone.  

There are people you will come upon in life who are selfish and un-caring for other people and nothing you can ever do will make them truly happy.  That's just life.  There are some people who complain about everything and don't ever want to put effort into doing anything for anybody else that is too far out of their way and once again, nothing you can ever do will make them truly happy.  So why do we as people try so hard sometimes to please these un-pleasable (if that's a word =P)  people??  These people are no benefit to us, they only contact you or spend time with you when they need something from you, whether it's friendship, companionship, someone to talk to, or even help with something. When they have other people to use, you are nothing to them.  So when they treat us like this why do we try so hard to keep pleasing them??  I believe that it's because they are "hard to get".  Just like how us women sometimes play hard to get when there is a certain man we want the attention of.  Something about this person and them not treating you right makes you want even more to be closer to them and spend time with them in order to earn their favor in some way.  Why we think like this who knows...but it's true.

So, if you are going through something similar where you're struggling trying to be friends with or just trying to make someone like you, give up. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with being kind to them and being there for them, you actually don't help them by being there at their beck and call. Sometimes these people need to hear no.  Every relationship has two sides and both have to be trying and putting in effort to make it a successful relationship.  If you're the only one putting forth any effort it seems, just back off for a while and maybe they will finally realize that you were there for them and just maybe they will appreciate you one day. If not, just kiss em goodbye and go out and make new friends with people who need a friend too.  I'll bet there's someone out who's been praying for a friend and you are just the one God will put in their life.  :)

God Bless!!

Ummmm.......

So, it's Friday....annnndddd I had a great day at work annnndddd a great time afterwards with some peeps from work at Miller's Ale house (at which I did not drink....since of course, I am under age...even though I would have really appreciated a one-dollar margarita...but ya know.  What can ya do? )  annnnnddddd after driving home with a terrible case of have to pee.....which was miserable because EVERYBODY was trying to hold me up!!  What in the world is the deal with people actually driving UNDER the speed limit for once, the ONE time I'm in a hurry and I mean HURRY to get home???  I don't know but if they only knew what I was going through......

anyway, enough of that rabbit trail......

so I'm here at home and I really feel like I should have something to do on a friday night, but alas.....nothing. So, I'm making all my friends on facebook crazy by posting things every 5 minutes and listening to Keith Urban which isn't really bad at all.  But, actually I think I needed some time that's just quiet.  Just chill time.

And by the way, if you're ever bored and you're close to a computer with iTunes, play a song and hit  CTRL > T and it will open up this:

Of course, I don't know if it will open with CTRL > T on a PC cause you know....Macs are just cool like that.  That's why I have one.  BUT, nevertheless, it's pretty much epic.

It does everything and is just so entertaining to those simple minded people.......

...like me. :)

Now that I've shown you just how pathetic I am, I am going to retire to the sack.....or hit it....whichever you prefer....I think retiring to it sounds much more pleasant.

Laugh!  Love! Hope! Be Thankful!

TImmy boyyyy :)

So I have some awesome friends that love comedy and such and they introduced me to Tim Hawkins. He is a christian comedian that absolutely makes me crack up. You wanna talk about CRAZY PERSON? You can't look much farther than Tim Hawkins. Between randomly spazzing out every few minutes/seconds or being just plain crazy, you can GUARANTEE your sides will HURT. :)

Here's a short clip from his latest DVD, Insanitized.

Have a blessed day!

My baby's growing up!!

Just a short post for posterity's sake....

Once upon a time I had a wittle tiny puppy that stole my heart, was a fiesty little whiny baby who yelped ALLL NIGHT LONG, had puppy breath, took naps with me and was small enough for me to hug and cuddle. 6 months later, I have this huge, smelly, lump of energy and slobber who comes and jumps on me when I open the car door when I get home, who barks and annoys Bessie all day and who loves going on walks, chewing on pinecones and brings me so much joy. I love my PJ ♥

Have a blessed day!!

I want some Photoshop actions!!

I just recently stumbled upon this photographer on facebook who has THE most gorgeous, artistic and beautiful pictures on the face of the planet.  Oh So Posh Photography. I am in love with photos that capture glorious sunshine and the beauties of God's creation and this photographer does just that.  All her pictures have "glow" to them and ....mmm....they just make me crazy.  I could sit there and look at them all day. Too bad I don't live in Texas!!

Since I'm beginning to get more and more into photography along with my design work, I will be purchasing the entire Adobe Design Suite this fall.  (My piggy bank is crying).  That also includes Photoshop! I can't wait.  

BUT anyway....Oh So Posh Photography is giving away some actions that she created that give your photos a whole beautiful look.  Just LOOK at the difference in the photos (below) when you add the actions.  They. are. gorgeous. SO, go check out her website and glorious photography and enter the contest if you're interested in some Photoshop actions!!

God Bless!!

....and the PJ boy.

The irony of it all.

PJ and Bessie are good buddies. Really they are. Deep deep deep....

DEEP....

D-E-E-P down.

Bessie really loves PJ below all the fur and flat and blubber....

deep, deep, deep

deep...

deeeeeeeppppp, DEEP DEEP down. 

BUT for the most part, PJ drives her inSANE.

They bark at each other constantly.

I must say though...as cute and adorable as he is, you can pretty much put your money on the fact that PJ started it. 

He has a routine procedure for annoying her.  (Ever heard of a routine procedure for annoying someone?   Ya know, I might just patent that idea and write a book about it....may come in handy someday...)

It all begins with a look.....

And then another look as the fat girl attempts to get away.

And then another look....as we capture the bounty (the coveted boingy pillow).  Doesn't this make you want a boingy pillow???

Then he INCHES closer....

"If I can just think small....think microscopic...no...smaller than microscopic...think almost non-existent...maybe she won't see me and I can get ...."

".....jusstttt a bbiiittttttt........."

"...AAAHHH!!! CLOSER!!"

Ok...maybe not.

But ya can't blame him for trying!

But you CAN blame him....

...for never ever quitting.

It never ends.  Poor Bessie.

After Pooky's death she thought she was home free. FINALLY the one who gets 

ALL the attention.

She just counted her chickens before they hatched. 

Oh well. Stinks for her.

Cause I'm keeping this one. <3

I love my Wubbsie!
