I got accepted into school!
Class registration is next Monday
I am also going to talk to my manager about stepping down from my full-time position and getting my part-time position back.
I am still thinking about possibly starting up my own etsy shop and filling it with all of the weird crochet, sewn and refinished doodads I make.
What do you guys think?
I really want to shoot another set for the site before school starts in August.
Everything in the universe is going so right for me at the moment and I think it's the perfect time to shoot.
So, if any ladies around the Atlanta area and sister states are up for a road trip, I am dying to shoot with SIGNALSE7EN.
Now for some vain selfies
I had to put some fun amidst all of the serious, right?!
Well, I'm sure I'll be writing (or videoing) for you guys soon!!
We all benefit from me receiving this awesome tablet!!
I don't know how to fix that.
I googled it and everyone is saying that a lot of websites just aren't compatible with the interface or something.
I'm not a tech person so if anyone has a solution I will love you forever
But I got on my desktop and got this video of Haymitch and I uploaded for you guys!
I was trying to video something else for you guys
But, alas, I have children.
:p
Thanks for all of the awesome words on my newest video! You guys and gals are so sweet you're giving me cavities!
I am writing this blog on my new Microsoft Surface that my stepdad won for me at an IT conference in Louisiana last week! So far I am really enjoying the business side of this tablet. It came with the Bluetooth keyboard as well which is taking quite some time to get used too.
It's storming pretty badly here in Georgia at the moment but I've got my candles lit and all of my doors and windows open. The energy from the storm is a nice change from all of the stale weather we have had as of late.
I put in my application for school last week and I'm (not so patiently) waiting on my acceptance letter. My ACT's are taking their time getting to the school and it's making me nervous. The tablet is going to be my lifesaver once school begins though. It came equipped with Microsoft Student
Work is work is work.
I have been trying to spend more time with the family so I bought Cam, myself and my little sister season passes to six flags!
I've also been thinking about starting my own little business of some sort when school starts. I'll only go to school 4 days a week and I really don't want to work for corporate companies anymore.
eh, kind of a boring blog but I love you guys!
until next time...
Lately I've been getting tons of people telling me how tiny I am!
It's crazy!
I'm not trying to be rude but hot damn, I know I'm tiny.
How would they like it if everyone went up to them and said, "You have brown hair!"
I do get rather tired of it.
Though, to be fair, it is usually after people hug me.
I guess I'm tinier than I look
The sound is a bit off but I don't know how to fix that... sooo...
I tell myself this every day.
I'm about to fill out my FAFSA for the fall semester and send in my application/transcripts/ACT scores while I have the funds to spare.
Wish me luck, I need it.
Happy mother's day to all of the different types of moms out there!
I'm going tomorrow to visit both of my grandmothers since my mom will be at work.
Then I'll be spending the day as a fur mommy to my fur babies.
Hopefully we'll be making paw/hand print memorabilia.
We took Mackey back to the vet and he has a tumor.
It's either on his brain or on his kidney.
Either way, without extremely expensive treatment, he'll be gone in 6 months.
With treatment the vet said he could live two more years.
Now it's Mackey's tumor vs. my Papa's liver transplant that we are still trying to get.
Two very expensive medical problems creating a terrible conundrum for the man who loves this dog more than he cares about his own liver.
Things will look up though, eventually.
Honeysuckle is blooming all over my apartment.
I keep my balcony door open and I smell the sweetness throughout the rooms.
It's an amazing aroma to wake up too so I moved my bed right next to my window so I can sleep with it open.
I had a pigeon visit me on my balcony yesterday.
I was talking to it through my window.
I was saying hello and it was cooing back.
I had a pigeon once when I was younger.
I found it after school when I got off of the bus.
It was in my yard unable to fly.
I picked him up and named him Norman.
I took him to my room and made a home with blankets inside of a box.
He was the first animal I ever saved.
My mom came home and nearly died when she saw I had a pigeon in my room.
She let me keep him overnight but called animal control to get him in the morning.
I left a note with him on the porch begging them to help him fly.
I hope they listened.
I really want to work with animals.
No schools near me offer anything remotely close to zoology.
I might need to move.
Hey there Hi there!
How is everyone?!
I'm pretty dandy
Got a couple new sets hitting zivity soon.
Working on getting one on here hopefully!
Meet Ladybird!
We found on her on the side of the road on Saturday in the pouring rain
We still haven't found her humans
She's super sweet though!
Definitely a hunter!
This is Mackey.
He's my grandmother's Shar Pei.
He's my uncle dog <3
Unfortunately he's 12 years old and his heart is failing.
I'm going to miss him so much
On a brighter note..
Ooooh! Cam finally got his first full-time job!
I'm super stoked!
He's starting out at the same pay I am at now after being with my company 4 year...
However, his job is much harder than mine!
I have been working all the time lately!
Training new folks and such.
Maybe now I can cut my hours back some
And now can I vent?
As quite a few of you know, I'm from Georgia.
There isn't a day that I don't see a rebel flag flowing proudly in the wind next to an American flag, that I don't see bumper stickers calling woman who have abortions whores who murder innocent children and there isn't a Sunday that passes that I'm not quite frequently passed by the good ole folks (going 90mph in a 55mph zone) because they're late for the 10:30 service at church.
I think my problem with the bible belt, the south in general, is everyone's need to know and judge other people's business. Now, I have never been out of the south-eastern U.S., and I could be completely mistaken and this could be a problem up north as well, however, I'm not educated in that area so I will just stick to what I know best.
I grew up in a divided household.
My father is about as redneck as they come.
He abhors homosexuality just because the bible says it is wrong.
He didn't speak to me for almost three months once because I had 1 date with a girl.
I was 14.
He offered everyone at my place of work a piece of cake once but refused it to a gay guy on our staff simply because he was gay.
This is pretty much my father's entire family in a nutshell.
They are your typical, "God made Adam & Eve, not Adam & Steve" type of folks.
My aunt fights against pro-choice so hard I think her ovaries might be duel wielding anti-abortion machine guns.
She feels that because she was unable to have children, no woman should be allowed to abort a first trimester fetus.
Her reason is, "Someone, somewhere who couldn't conceive, would want that child."
However when asked about all of the children still in foster care because the adoption process takes so long and costs so much money she only says that none of that matters.
To me, (obviously I am more like my mother), I feel that who a person has sex with and whether or not they want to go through with a birth of a child in their own stomach is not a damn bit of anyone's business but their own.
I'm tired of hearing people scoff when my friends hold hands.
I'm sick of the ignorant, close mindedness that is in every corner of where I live.
When I overhear these conversations I have to be the peanut gallery and pop in my two cents.
"WHO ARE YOU to take away what makes another person happy?" I say.
I usually get the typical response that those gay people are highly lacking moral fiber (harry potter joke, anyone?) and should read the bible more often.
I get upset then and usually embarrass the poor people that chose to be my company for the day.
"Well, I don't agree with you. I find your argument to be invalid because the bible isn't a real religious artifact. It's simply a story book. Maybe if you read my book of shadows sometime you might realize that you're highly lacking any moral standing within your community."
It goes on and on until I get my point across.
Your beliefs are just that people, YOUR beliefs. You follow them, you live them and you sure as hell can express them but when you use your beliefs to control another person's life, choices, happiness... well, I hope you don't feel that you are a GOOD person, because you aren't.
Sorry guys, I'm a little fuming mad right now.
I just want to include a small tidbit about how I know not all Christians think this way.
Those who do not, I give kudos to you!
Now onto some pictures
“The assumption that homosexuality is rare or “unnatural” is contradicted by the ample evidence of same-sex sexual activity in more than 450 nonhuman species. These young male penguins, Squawk and Milou, entwine their necks, kiss, call to each other, have sex, and firmly reject females. Another male pair at the same zoo, Silo and Roy, seemed so desperate to incubate an egg together that they put a rock in their nest and sat on it. Their human keeper was so touched that she gave them a fertile egg to hatch. Silo and Roy sat on it for the necessary 34 days until their chick, Tango, was born, and they raised Tango beautifully. “They did a great job,” said the zookeeper.”
Howdy my lovely little doodle bugs!
Sorry it's taken a minute!
I just want to forewarn that this blog isn't super happy...
I know a lot of people are curious as to why I archived and I'll answer that first.
It came down to something very important in my life being negatively impacted by the fact that I was active on the site, however, after some time I felt I shouldn't leave the site for a reason so easily changed.
Talk about vague, right?
Sorry
My mood for the past month or so hasn't been very happy.
I'm usually giddy and happy most of the time but I just can't put a finger on why I get so upset.
Maybe it's my ridiculous need to have control over everything because of my fear that if I don't do it then it won't get done correctly or at all.
It could be all of my insecurities from Cam's past infidelities..
Though I don't like to think about that. It makes me a sad panda
Maybe it's just because I never get out of my apartment to do anything other than work..
It could be all of it.
I think I'm stressed out but who knows...
I'm just trying to take it one step at a time.
Spend time with my puppies and what not.
An update on the school situation is this:
The week of open enrollment we had a huge inventory at work and I just completely forgot.
I forgot to enroll.
I'm hoping that Cameron will get a better job soon because there is no way I'll be able to work 40+ hours a week and be able to do school.
I know it doesn't seem very difficult to most people but I play manager and assistant manager at my job.
DogMom, Manager, Assistant Manager, Girlfriend, Aunt, Daughter, Student...... o_o
Needless to say, I'm moving back in with my mom come September.
I'd do it now if breaking this lease was feasible.
I'm enrolling in the fall semester as soon as I have the funds, no questions, no doubts, no procrastination.
Now, on to the happy.
I've been spending tons of time with my family lately.
I have missed them.
I saved a baby copperhead from being bludgeoned to death the other day.
I've gained 12 pounds since January!
And I've started eating healthier!
Now I'll leave you guys with some pictures I like since I haven't been taking any of me
That's all the time I have now!
Gotta shower and go work!
