Funny things
Today I went on a job interview for a part-time position at Micheal’s as a floral designer. It went so amazingly well it made me feel really good about myself….I never knew I had SO MANY skills that could be used!! Can you do floral design? YES Can you paint? YES Can you wrap and make gift baskets? YES Can you run a register and stock shelves? YES Can you work in framing? YES Do you know the color wheel? ummmm….YES!!!! lol I can also juggle and do needlepoint…anything else? (I’m lying about those last 2) The others tho…are very much actual skills I pocess. The manager of Micheal’s was so flabbergasted by what all I could do, she starred…and kept telling me I was a blessing! HA! me? a blessing? 
So more than likely I will be starting at Micheal’s within the week as the floral designer. I have to admit, it has been a few years since I have done florals….So I went to the book store to get something to jog my memory and to inspire me for my test run on tues. In doing this I came across the funniest thing….
FYI its in the crafting section next to floral arranging!!!! LOL

Random Photo #4: A typical night at my place…
A typical night at my apartment consists of me sitting/laying and working/playing on my laptop with my precious (cujo-esque) pup somewhere amongst the pillows and wires. (I really need to get WIRELESS!!) As seen here:
I was just browsing some favorite blogs only to glance up and see two bulging eyes peeking over my screen at me, had to share!! HILARIOUS!

Random Photo Post #2
circa 1997, my senior year of high school. This is basically my lunch routine everyday…that young handsome fella is Mr. Chris Petrin, a fellow arteest. My lunch period was also during my A.P. Art class. You can see my typical delicious wholesome lunch of…yes folks…mouth watering nip chee crackers and a vitamin packed original coca-cola! Check out that bright and awe fully tacky shirt! ;P

Random Photo Post #1
Me at age 3-4
I have decided to post random photos that I have lying around and need to put in a photo album….The first of many, this is me at aprox age 3-4 at my family home in Wetumka or Prattville (we moved to Prattville during this age). The cat was one of the family pets, I can’t recall the name. I think she later had kittens in my doll bed. I of course, probably toted them around unmercifully. And just think…today I have horrible allergies around them. I look to be filling up containers of water….for what? I have no clue. I would say I was helping mom water plants (because of the watering can), but I would’ve had to walk in grass to get to the plants…so thats a no go. But apparently too hot to be clothed. NICE!
