Good Things are Happening May 7, 2009

I love that these little clovers decided to grow in this seashell. I’m going to draw or paint this eventually.

So, here’s what’s happening in my life. I am a bridesmaid in Justin’s wedding. I’m so excited I can’t stand it. This means so much to me! At the same time I am a little depressed because I don’t have anyone right now. So I’m a little sad and lonely, but if I think about it. I don’t want to be married right now, I don’t think I’d even be okay being engaged right now, so it’s okay then I’m single. Don’t get me wrong, I’m so excited for Justin and Katie, and everyone else I know who’s happily with someone. It just got me thinking, and even though I’m lonely, I’m okay being single. So, back to the original statement: I’M A BRIDESMAID!!!!

I was in the newspaper today…the picture took up 1/3 of the page….and in my opinion it’s a horrible picture of me. But it’s exciting to be in the paper. I’m in there because they did an article about where I work.

I won money at archery for the first time in my life. Very exciting. It was after work, I went to the money shoot mostly because they had pizza and if I would have went home I would have crashed. So I went to the shoot, ate some pizza….and didn’t really shoot because I didn’t have the strength to pull my arrows through the clicker. I stuck around, and eventually they called my name, and I shot one arrow, dead center. Yay!

I looked super cute today. Just as a side note.

Yesterday, at work, there was a gremlin who was pretending to be a dog. It was a little pug/bulldog mix……and sometimes it would sound like a normal dog, but when you weren’t looking at him, he made gremlin noises. Little sqeaks and clicks….it was highly entertaining. Seriously, go watch the movie Gremlin, the noises from that movie, this little dog was making. So I called him Gremlin the whole day he was with us and he made me giggle every time I heard him.

I finally clipped my bunnies nails. Zoe broke my bracelet from Spain (I can fix it) and Nala gave me some good scratches, but I held them long enough to get all their nails clipped and I’m proud. Nala wouldn’t go back in her cage for an hour. My little plants are growing. I love the green color the trees are outside my window. It’s beautiful weather. I’m going to be in a wedding. 🙂 Work is going great. Life is good.

Weighted Heart March 28, 2009

This is a postcard I received and I absolutely LOVE it. The style, the lil fishies. It is wonderful. I had to share.

Yesterday there was only one, but when I went to get the mail today I saw this:

Spring is Coming!!!

This is my favorite picture. (sorry there are so many!)

And last but not least…..my new baby succulents. I’m starting a succulent garden. Yay!

I went to the botanical garden on Sunday, and they were selling these guys and some cacti. I’ve been wanting to start a garden, and these are perfect for beginner. They’re sitting on the edge of my desk. I really do hope I can keep these alive. It’s orchid month, and they have some absolutely beautiful flowers. (I think I said that in my last post).

I have started my vet assistant training. Yay! I got to see brand new baby newfoundland puppies. Those dogs are huge and beautiful and slobbery. I’m really excited about this job. One more week of training and then I officially start (and the real learning starts).

I’m shooting in states this weekend. Which is probably a bad idea cause I hurt my wrist on Monday somehow…and it is really killing me. I can’t even really hold my bow up. Despite this fact, I shot alright today, and hopefully I’ll do well tomorrow. National results are in, I got 41 out of 118. I was hoping to be in the 10-20 range…so this kinda stinks. But for not shooting for three years…that’s pretty good.

I watched ‘The boy in the striped pajamas’ and now my heart hurts. I don’t really want to rant or vent or even talk about it. It was a good movie, in terms that it really moves you. Unfortunately, it moved me to tears, and now I’m sad for humanity. Cause of course right after this movie was a special on human trafficking….and that was rough to. It really does make me sad that people have had to/go through such rough lives. I live in my wonderful lil life, without ever a thought for things like that. And the scum that facilitates that…….ugh. Makes my heart and soul ache.

So overall, doing great. I’m trying to catch up on posting, cause I’ve been stressing out about my sketchbook. It needs to be filled by Monday and I’m almost done. Now I just need to write an about the artist section, and a thank you section. I’m really happy with how it’s coming out.
