Seda's First Big Public Walk

We took Rebee and Seda for a real long walk on the Trailway in Flushing.

It's beautiful this time of year!!

It was Seda's first long public walk. Started out kinda bad but she ended up settling down. We came across about 30 other dogs, joggers, walkers and bikers. No problems!! I was very happy with her. Reb's been there alot. She's never a problem. I was more worried about her getting worn out because of her age but she proved mom wrong. She still had energy when we were done. I, on the other hand, found out I am out of shape!!!

Farmville

I feel like I'm in the minority when it comes to Farmville. EVERY time I go to my personal facebook page, someone has done something in FARMVILLE!!! I think it's a cult. I really do. I REFUSE to get sucked in!!!!!

HELP!!! There EVERYWHERE!!!

I got an official looking letter today. I am including copies so you know what to look for(above,click for larger view).

According to this website-once you return the card-someone calls you trying to sell you a membership. They get really pushy trying to get your cc number.

It has a postage paid card to fill out and return. Welllll-I'm gonna!!! I wrote scam on all the lines and I AM returning it! LOL!!!!

We need bigger uncluttered checkouts!

These big box stores need to get bigger checkout counters!! Just got home from Dollar xxxx and the MAIN THING I went there for was not in my bag!!!!! Four pair of reading glasses on the counter and the cashier totally missed them because of all the junk they have sitting there. These things are small enough-they don't need to put impulse purchase items there. Everyone that walks in there makes impulse purchases anyway! We as customers should not have to do their job. We are busy getting our money/debit cards out and figuring out which way to swipe it!

Just had to vent!!!

Man, those glasses were so cute too!

I still love Dollar xxxx though!!

Detroit Lions

One thing I really want to see in my lifetime is the Detroit Lions win the Super Bowl.

I'm thinking I may not live long enough!!!!!!

Good Times!! GO BLUE!

We had a little fun at work this week do to the Michigan-Michigan State game this weekend. I'm true blue and Karen is a Sparty. We tried to one up each other all week! I put GO BLUE!! as the screen saver on the computer she uses. I put a jersey shaped bottle cozy on her back window wiper blade(she drove all around with it on there!LOL). I sent someone to tape a sign on her back that said GO BLUE! Had her for a couple minutes until another Sparty told her it was there!! She put a donut in front of me with green frosting and a big white S! She called my extension CONSTANTLY blaring the State fight song!

We laughed so hard even when one of our evil attempts failed!

I'm looking forward to April Fools Day!! She didn't work there last year-and I hold the record with 22 people I got last year. And YES! I keep score!

Monday morning could be VERY interesting!

GO BLUE!!!!!

THE BIG GAME!!

The most important game of the year is this weekend!

GO BLUE!!!!

I LOVE ALPACAS!

OMG!! Alpacas are so adorable!! And oh so soft!!!! They had all kinds of items there made from alpaca wool. I want it all!! Warmer than traditional wool and as soft as cashmere!! Plus there is a whole industry in the USA and items are made here!!

I had no idea how many farms there were just in Michigan. I hope everyone starts supporting this industry!

You should have seen them laying in front of the fans. They looked very spoiled! It was an indoor event but every pen had real sod, large fans and bags of hay hanging. They don't even have to bend down to eat. Pretty social to. Click the link below for more info.

My new signature packaging

My new packaging! This will
be my branding-pink and black! This is it! I'm sticking with it. They are my "signature" colors


For mens items, I am using a silvery gray tissue paper with black and white ribbon. The gift tags included are a gray textured linen paper. I'm thinking pink would not be appropriate.

MY LUCY MOMENT!!!

I went and got a routine blood test this week. I didn't know my doctor also put "urine test" on the referral!! I cracked up and told the nurse it had been over 25 years since I was asked to do that! And that time I was praying for "negative"!!! Boy it is so hard to hit that tiny cup! Then I had to pour it in a little vial!!! There was NO place to set anything down! A sink, toilet and trashcan! I'm holding the vial(because it kept rolling off the back of the toilet) in one hand and the cup in the other, peeing! So far, so good. Then came the vial. Why can't they make the cup with a little spout? Standing over the toilet-I start pouring into the vial. Guess what? They don't really hold much!!! YES!! Overflowing all over! Now remember-there is no place to set anything-I'm dripping all over(vial, cup,hands)-trying to get papertowel!! I'm just standing there!! I'm wondering where the Candid Camera crew were hiding! And how good their editing crew were!

Well, I did survive and made it through! But what happened to peeing in a cup with your name on it then leaving it on a tray for the nurse?!

Just give us somewhere to set are little urine chemistry set!!

CONFESSION

I have something that eats away at me everyday. I'm not sure if I should even post this. I just really feel the need to confess.

It may make people shun me. It may embarrass my friends and family. I may not HAVE any friends left after this. I might not be able to go out in public! But I really really have to confess. NO! I NEED to confess!

I am not proud of what I am going to confess to but I'm hoping to lift a weight off of myself that will make ME feel better. I feel the time in my life has come. I am old enough and wise enough to deal with the consequences of what I am going to say. I am still young enough to rebuild my reputation. So--- here it goes!!! I beg you not to judge me too harshly!

OMG!

One Of The Greatest Moments in Life!!

Got the air on-fan in the bedroom-gonna pop some popcorn and watch TV in bed-OH YEAH! Life is good!

Thunderstorm warnings all around and could care less(unless cable goes out).

I will sleep like a baby on benadryl!

Night all!!

Blog vs. CHORES! Ugh!!!

Ok-I have laundry piled up, papers all over my desk and jewelry projects waiting to be done.

What am I doing? Playing with my blog and searching forums in Etsy!

I feel like a kid addicted to video games!!

I tell myself-just a few more minutes-then I'll actually get something else done.

Now what are the odds that ALL the clocks in the house are wrong-because it's only been 15 minutes(I SWEAR!!) and they moved ahead 2 hours!!

I guess I better add "call clock repair guy" to my list of chores!!

Anyone else have malfunctioning clocks? Know a good clock repair guy? Is there even such a person? Hopefully they charge by the clock and NOT per hour!

Maybe it's a conspiracy! There's a little "clock elf" running around changing all of them while I'm at my computer! I thought I heard giggling!!

I will find you little funny guy!!

Just as soon as I'm done here-just a few more minutes!!!

Found This Awesome Item!!

We all know arm/wrist warmers are really big right now! And as a Michigander I REALLY appreciate them! Especially for work! It is very cold do to open doors and I still have to be able to type! Needless to say I layer, layer, and layer again.

I have now found the perfect wrist warmer EVER on Etsy-
I love things that serve more than one purpose! These are priced great and look extremely comfortable. Plus you can store little things in them. Perfect for so many things-especially winter sports!
Great for walking the dogs! And dog walkers know you must carry those special little bags when in public spaces! Fold a couple up and stick them in these!
Here is the link to the pictured item-
