APRON PICTURES!!!!!

Since everyone has been chomping at the bit to see some pictures of me in my super awesome apron I won from Mama Kat's Apron giveaway I will now delight you with pictures. Or will I??? No I really have the photos for a change.

But first allow me a few moments to explain how the apron came to me. It came via mail to my parents house, as I don't trust the shady individuals in my neighborhood. I have one of those small mail boxes so large items are usually discarded on the front porch of the house. I opted to have it delivered to the safety of my parents suburbia home. When i open it it was tied with a matching blue ribbon and looked really nice. It is really nice. I love it. So cute. It makes me feel kinda girly. My other apron is dark purple, which is great for when I'm making meatloaf and playing with raw meats. The new apron will not be worn for such things. Mainly baking. It's to cute I wouldn't want to get it really dirty and stained.

so with out further delay here you go.

I took this myself. Please disregard the mess in the background.

Well there you have it everyone. My apron. It's kinda short compared to what I'm used to. but super cute. I wont lie it makes me want to pull up my hair throw on my best 1950's dress, my pearls and pumps and bake cookies for the husband and 2.5 kids (i don't have). Ahh Dream big don't I.

Have a great day everyone!

Good and the Bad

Good~

I bought all the supplies, plates, napkins, cups, things to eat with, and decorations for Preggers Baby shower! super exciting. I've also uploaded some photos which I'll be sharing with you this week. Yes dear friends I have Apron Photos! Here's the 411 on the photos. I don't have Internet access at home. Yes I'm aware we've come out of the stone age. I have not. So I have to take my camera over to Deaksters house where he so kindly allows me to upload my stuff on his computer. Which I'm about 99% positive I broke today. So that's why it's taken so long. I'm dumb and kept forgetting to take it with me. Ugh. I hate that. So I did that this weekend. I also left said camera at his house and it now has some very flattering pictures of his dog, Deakster giving me the finger and dog poop. thanks!

So here's the plates i bought!

See the invites had a train on them so when i saw this i thought JACKPOT! The decorations all have the same patterns and colors. They are pretty cute.

Here are the awesome M&M's I had made for the favors.

Yes My friends That is Preggers face on some M&M's. They also Congrats Pam (her christian name), Baby on Board and Mom to Be.

The BAD~

They laid off 3 people in the advertising department here at the Newspaper. I was very sad to hear about that. this kind of news is very unsettling. Makes you stop and take stock of how expendable you are. I'm concerned. Could they do obits with only 2 people instead of 3...yes. Would it involve a completely different schedule. Yes. Will they go that route if Classified decides to let someone go.....I don't know. And that makes me sick to my stomach. Very sick. Maybe hiring all those new people when they announced the furlough shit wasn't the WORLDS GREATEST IDEA. Fun thing. They are still hiring people. Explain that to me please?

Chocolate covered Ponies!

ATTENTION! There will b pictures of the AWesome Apron this week. I've uploaded them and I will post them sometime. Stay tuned.

But here are a few from my day today. I bought some yummy Chocolate bars.

WE got these when we were in Boulder, CO last year to visit Kitty. They are so yummy! Our local grocery store carries them which is exciting so I bought one tonight Inside they have poems. It's intersting.

Then my night was filled with a big night of coloring. Yes I'm working on 27 ina week and a half and I spent a ncie amount of time coloring by myself at my house tonight in a BRAND NEW coloring book. What can i say it's relaxing.

I purchased a My little Pony coloring book at Dollar General tonight and here are the end results.

As I'm not sure of teh correct colors for the ponies I used my creative abilities to make them Amy Awesome. The top one is a few different shades of green

Loss of my innocence

A time when i was afraid. Hum??? Let's see there was that time I hide from the police in the shed after Big Brother and his friends terrorized the paperboy with a BB gun. Hey I wasn't going to jail, I'm way to pretty for jail. Or the time BB woke me up out of a dead sleep because he was bleeding profusely from his arm. But that was a whole different kind of scared. Or the time I had to tell my Dad I got yet another speeding ticket. I've had some scary times. Once I had to step in between two very disgruntle guys at a party and talk one of them into putting down the 2x4. But none of that crazy scary I might die today stuff comes anywhere close to the night I was sure would be the end.

I love scary movies. LOVE. But I'm a wimp. I cover my eyes a squeeze them shut till they hurt sometimes. But I LOVE scary movies. My friend says I'm dumb, I say if i don't allow myself to become scared, then what is the point of watching them. HELLO MCFLY! So we watched 30 Days of Night. Now that movie scared the shit out of me. Fugitive not literally or that might have been the scariest moment of my life. There are a few things we all know. A few things that are dare I say set in stone. The #1 thing being. Vampires CAN NOT come into your home uninvited. CAN NOT! Well it seems someone forgot to pass that important information along to these vampires. Because they just jumped through the window and yanked people out by their hair! When this happen my reaction was, "HEY HEY you can't do that! You have to be invited in! What is this crazy shit!"

After the movie was over I ventured out to my car and drove home. While it's only maybe 5 miles to my house I was scared to DEATH. I checked my backseat at every light and flicked the interior light on in my cargo area a few times. When i got home I jumped out of the car ran up the steps and slammed the door shut. I was sure I was going to die! All night I lay in bed thinking, I'm not safe in here, I have two big windows and one is off the porch. Easy access for this new wave of no boundary vampires. They'll get me for sure. I lay there thinking any moment would be the moment the vampire would hurl it's self through my window and yank me out by my hair. I really thought that was it. Before I would have thought "well I'm inside and there's no way in hell I would invite them in so I'm safe". Not anymore. Thanks dumb movie.

Swing over to Mama Kat's and read what the rest of us have to say

Inside my Space

I've been really bad about blogging lately. Mainly because I've found that at 150 post I don't have much left to say. Nothing is happening in my life, and I'm awfully busy here at work. Unfortunately they do require me to work while I'm here not just blog and cruise the Internet. The nerve of some people. But have no fear. I'm not saying my goodbyes. I'm saying my "sorry" if you have been forced to read my lame and boring posts as of late. I'll try harder from now on.

I decided to take some pictures of my desk area for your enjoyment. I know I can feel the excitement in your mouse click. Below are some interesting things I have "acquired"
This is "Rat dude". He looks slightly like Hitler Rat in this picture, but I promise that he has no known hatred toward Jewish rats. Rat dude found his way to my desk via my pal Moma Bear. MB grabs breakfast at Mickey D's everyday and found this in with her sausage biscuit. Apparently someone thought it would be good to hand out happy meal toys with breakfast. So thank you kind sir.

This is my "decorated" computer. Let me introduce you to my friends. Let's see. clockwise from the bottom left is part of the box my Smart Ass Calender from MB came in. Next we have my nephews picture from the Valentines kid thing I put in the paper for him. I'm so cool. Next we have part of the cranium calender box MB got me 2 years ago. The pink guy is Lovie the Love Lizard. I won him at some carnival in the middle of nowhere which is a story for another day. But he is my inspiration for when I do engagement announcements. He has a cig he smokes that MB rolled out of paper. (we have time on our hands). Next is my Steelers love! Followed by lastly WWMD? What does that mean? Well thanks for asking. It stands for What Would Marie Do. Marie is the person they fired right before giving em her job. After she left she mailed in "revisions" to my celebrations pages marked in red to my BOSS! She's a jerk. WWMD is a joke on her. Because that's how I rollAnd last but not least this is my memo board. I like to put things on their that make me snicker. Funny cartoons from the paper, random photos (printed to scale for the paper) left behind from obits that kind of stuff. So here is what my desk area looks like for the most part. There are a few things missing from the photos. Namely the desk. But also the phone and my pac man picture, our hearse photo and me and the nephew cheesing for a photo. But you get the gist.
