Look what happened now...
Ready, Set, Jet!

Hey, How are you? It's a lovely rainy day here in South Texas. I have been working most of the morning (On actual work, ahem) and found time to do a quick post. :D I am often asked "HOW DO YOU DO IT?" IT = travel, own your business, be your own woman. Well it's this pack I made a long time ago with this crazy guy with horns... Naw, Not really. JK :O (Scared the Christians, now feels bad...) Moving on...It's nothing easy like that. Mainly it's hard work and lots of it. The rest is believing that it's ok to try and try again and not give up. For me it's about hard work, focus & learning every single day. I found this online and thought I would share: There isn't a magic formula, but surrounding yourself with good, encouraging people who share the same vision as you do, helps too.
I have a lunch meeting today so am off now. Take care & let me know what you do to become focus and move forward, ok? I would love to hear new/more ideas! :D This happened yesterday at work. I hope it's not a sign on how the week is going to progress. :X Just when you thought it was safe, the f&^^&ing doorknob falls off. LOL So Yes, I worked late last night and am dragging ass today. Don't mess with me ... * __ * Catch you later-
Hey, What's new? I had meetings, drop off orders, buy supplies, visit buddies & "sneak off to the cinema" kinda day.. :D Drive and drive to meet new client. They want to met at Chili's for a early lunch meeting. Ok, except Chili's in this town SUCKS! :X Slow service, so-so food and just eeeww! But I say ok and don't eat. Thanks, but no thanks. No pictures, because I don't like it there.at.all. So please to look at country side as I drove & drove for this umm, dull meeting. So after that was done I went to buy supplies at Office Dept. dull as that seems... from there I went to buy snacks for co-workers and found flowers on sale! Meanwhile in store action shots, lol. Everything going up, up and up. But this.. Was +$4.00 now $1.68.. No one dare to try.. Except D loves this. Score! From there I went to Schlotzskys, because I was starving. Always a line there, always. I just want to eat quick and go. Meeting up with another friend and going to watch The World's End. Stopped by the time I got home. * ___ * More errands... It's late and finally back home. I have to stay in office all day & do paperwork tomm. Boo! :( And.. I usually show him laying down, (He can walk, really.) He was all around me, "meow, meow" and gone by time phone snapped pict. Sorry. Use your imagination, ok? Rick just called wanting to get together before the month was out & I tried to explain to him how busy I was. Told him I was going to Enchanted Rock next week and he was like, "In Ireland?!" "Umm, NO. In Texas." (Ok, I know that in his defense it is quite possible I COULD be in Ireland next week. ) So now he WANTS to go too. LOL If only we can make our schedules work. Actually he really wants to go to Spain, NEXT WEEK. But I know I can't.
#Travelproblems lol Catch you later- So yessss, It's been quite a Monday. (Is it still Monday? OMG It's been a long day.) Productive, but LONG. Anyway- Picture of Parcels I posted on Twitter- I admit I may have gone a bit crazy with the edits on this... Turns out only 1 pkg was mine... Others were work stuff. :( #FML BUT ONE CONTAINED THE NEW POWER CORD FOR MY MAC. Awe come on, you know your the same way when your stuff is not working...and then suddenly that missing/broken part comes in...Admit it. So I was like...(See below) But then the new power cord arrived & Happiness is mine...Mac is charging & all is well. :) Typing from it now.. I didn't take it on the Vegas trip because it would only charge about 1/2 the time and only then if I wiggled it, stood on my head, etc. And I forgot to order it before I left..because I was packing and rushing out the Door & couldn't be bothered with things like that. WTF?! So anyway, problem solved, yes! And can you believe the month is more than 1/2 over? How did that happen? I just updated my calendar and will be in New Braunfels, Austin and San Marcos before the months over. I also have a trip planned to Enchanted Rock. Where? What? "Enchanted Rock is an enormous pink granite pluton rock formation located in the Llano Uplift approximately 15 miles (24 km) north of Fredericksburg, Texas, USA. Enchanted Rock covers approximately 640 acres (260 ha) and rises approximately 425 feet (130 m) above the surrounding terrain to elevation of 1,825 feet (556 m) above sea level. It is the largest such pink granite Monadnock in the United States." From Wiki Click here to read more about the Rock & the Park. (It's the state park site)
So I shall try and remb I have a camera and take some photos. (Not making any promises.) I have been there before, but its been like 5 years or so. Its a very nice area and Fredericksburg is a big old tourist town. :I It's not really far from my part of Texas, but its a little different still. Texas is a very large, varied place. Also I want to go dancing and maybe sneak in a little shopping too. So these next 15 days are going to be packed. OH! I am also meeting up with my nephew and seeing baby Layla! Which means I also need to go baby clothes shopping somewhere in all this. :O So yes, Busy Bee me - oh and there's work too. LOL Catch you later-
Go watch the movie..
Hello, How is it going? Busy here. Work called me out of town yesterday and I managed to have a little fun while out & about. Visited Ms. Y., visited my bro, went shopping & to the cinema. I still feel like I am "skipping school" when I catch a movie in the early afternoon. Even in summer..wtf? But its a nice feeling too. :D NOTE: I did finish all my work duties before I snuck off to watch Grown Ups 2. Today is another story, lol But it was a very good day..made even better by the fact it was raining! I have been attempting to visit my brother’s hydroponic garden for a month now and took this opportunity. What do you think? Everyone else has lost all their tomato plants due to the heat (110’F) & lack of water. (Hence my excitement over the rain.) While his are still producing, he also asked me to deliver some tomatoes for him while I was in town…yes, *sigh* why not… Meanwhile the sky had changed to this and I figured I better head home. While I was out I also picked up a eggplant. I really was craving some eggplant parm. It's really quite easy, but people act like its a big deal? IDK..
Anyway I have a meeting now so I'm off & it looks like more rain. :D Catch you later- I Googled...and I ended up with this... All I wanted was to place a widget on this website and now I have 2 (yes, two) Google accounts. + I remembered why I don't like Facebook. What do you post? If you really want to KNOW me then read this Blog. If you want to see what I think is cute/cool/odd then Instagram and if you want to hear me complain about work and lust after Travel deals then Twitter. So what goes on this Google page? Suggestions? Anyone? I don't know what this F'ing circle thing is either. :X And I LIKE technology. (Also This is where I apologize to both people out there who follow me on twitter..I’ve been working on the site and the links and some times they didn’t always work as they should. Sorry!) But I did TELL you about that awesome deal from Royal Caribbean though. Did you book a cruise? I did! After I stopped the pain meds (From the dental surgery, if you are new here) I lifted my ban on online shopping and nailed a SWEET Cruise deal for 2014. (Ye, I’m a planner!) :0 So that means you (if you read the blog & it doesn’t explode from over use of GOOGLE) you get to go with me. Well you get to read and see the pictures anyway. Maybe one day I can do a contest- (I said One Day. NOT this time.) I’ll post more about it, as it gets closer, count on it. But I will say I’m going to the UK. I’m in process of renting a house there for a month and then going back to France. So 2014 will be a busy year. Ok, I’m going to post SOMETHING on Google now. Talk soon & thanks for your penitence with me as I figure this out!
Yeah! It's Cloudy!
Ok, I was waiting for a cloudy, cooler day to tackle today’s challenge. I want to “beautify” the smoking area at work. No, I don’t smoke, but some of the employees do and some of the customers do too. I went out to the area to talk to them and was like, WTF? This place is bad. It’s not dirty, they all pick up the butts and all, just meh. So I put a bench, some chairs, a small table out there. Now I would like a few plants to finish it. But it's already so hot that I needed to wait for a cooler day to purchase plants and repot them. Marigolds are pretty, but cannot take our heat. This is an Herb I cook with at home all the time. (I have 2 plants at home) and decided I was just going to buy this and a begonia and call it a day already. The sun came out & it was getting really warm. Begin to melt now.. *____ * If you WANT A GREEN THUMB: The trick to getting MOST plants to live is this. Repot them as soon as you get home. Do not WAIT. They are shipped in peat moss and the lightest weighing materials that DO NOT hold Water or offer room for the plants to grow. Repot immediately and read the label about sun exposure and how much water they need and your plants should do fine with a little TLC. RANT (Skip if you could care less about plants & $$) It’s one of my pet peeves when local stores sell plants that DO NOT GROW in our climate. It’s one thing to sell seasonal plants (like impatiences and marigolds) it’s another to sell something that is going to die in a day like bleeding hearts. A man brought me a lovely hanging basket last year that was a Bleeding heart. He paid $50USD + for it and I told him to take it back. It should not be sold in South Texas in JULY. He called the store and they told him it would do fine, just water it. Well anyone that knows plants knows that's just a crock of shit. He took it to his house and it was dead within 24 hours due to our heat. WTF?! Why they want to be SO CROOKED! Ok rant over-Back to normal now, sorta anyway... :0 I repotted the Basil So the sweet basil will last in our climate (with care) it cost $4.00USD and the Begonia was .98! The pots, dirt and other stuff I already had. So it didn't cost much and hopefully it will be brighter & nicer for our smokers a little.
Later- Earlier a friend asked me if I could pick up his daughter from her job at our local Subway. I said sure. As I fetched her home she related this story to me: She was working when an older man (she is 20 so use your imagination) came in and said that he just drove 20 miles for 2 Subway sandwiches. (This is rural Texas so that's not that odd) He asked her how she liked working at Subway, as she made his order. She told him honestly that she was just there to pay for college. They discussed education and he agreed that it was the most important thing. He then asked her how much her next tuition payment was and she said, "$250." He paid for his sandwiches and said, "I'll be right back." Then left the store. The man then returned with a check for $250.USD and handed it to her.
He was Giving her the next tuition payment! He only asked that she send him a thank you note with a copy of the receipt showing she had made the payment. She was speechless! She remembered herself and thanked him as he left. :0 So nice things do happen everyday, don't they?! I just love stories like this of random acts of kindness. I asked her if she recognized the name on the check *still in her hand and she said," No, he's from the next town over." :0 Hello, hope your having a good weekend. Busy here, as usual. I went off Friday in search of a gift & guest room decor - came back with a card case and new earrings. Seems right, no?!
I really didn't see anything I liked at all. Then an employee called, then a client, so I just gave up playing at shopping and went back to office. Oh we'll... I have two lovely card cases, but one is too large & the other is sterling silver & has to be polished daily. (Who thought that would be fun?)
So when I saw this I snapped it up. It is faux alligator. (Snapped, get it..lol Sorry I stop now.) but really I could never carry/use/deal with a real one! Ewwe If that's your thing, cool. But it's not mine. Moving on- It should hold just enough cards, not take up 1/2 my purse or need to be polished.
But I do have to polish the earrings. They are .925 Sterling Siver. I really like the design & I have quite a few blue Topaz pieces. So they should work into my Jewelry wardrobe quite nicely. There are times when I pick out the jewelry I want to wear before I pick out the clothes. Crazy, huh? I really prefer gold over silver, but the price is so crazy now. The same earrings in gold would have been over $700.USD - As opposed to sterling silver only $175.USD & that's way too much for casual jewelry, or so I believe. Ok, enough of this I have a dinner date so I'm off- So it's Friday! Hope you had a good week. I did although after taking off some last week I seem to have the summer time blues, already. WTF it's going to be a long summer at this rate. I created a "about me" page on here. Then didn't know what to write..WTF?!? Well it was about 2:45 a.m. and I should have been sleeping, but...anyway. I really am shy, so I just copied a 25 questions that someone sent me. (With my own answers though) but it doesn't really tell you anything. I don't like sushi & my computer & cell are usually always near me. Cool, complex & Fascinating, huh? This week has been oddly mellow *not complaining * so not much to write about, for a change. So I'm off buy lunch for the crew at work (as Opposed to the Krewe - which is my gang of friends) then we are taking the rest of the day off! Don't you wish you worked here?! Lol
More soon! |
