or get on the train and just go on.......

Ok so I have been a slacker but I am allowed in the summer. Its been a ok summer i guess. the hubby got a job back in ashe working at some plant. good money and he enjoys it so thats good. I have spent many days with the inlaws which i enjoy because they are my family now and its nice to see them.

Then I spent 2 weeks reading harry potter though it would have only took me 3 days but the newspaper kept getting in the way.

I loved the book i cried i laughed i even hated my self for hating people in it. It ended the the right way and made me happy.

I miss you guys. The ones that still read the blogs and still have them. I know some of them are removed for their own reason and it has nothing to do with the people left writing i just want you guys to know that.

I like shvic have not received my award letter but i am not worried about it. I was really late getting my stuff in cause i could not find the hubbys tax papers. ugg i lose everything including my head if it was not tacked on. Im trying harder to get everything set so im not so lost all the time. Now that I think of it I have not got my class schedule either. Oh well i will go over tomorrow when i get home.

I hope everyone had a great summer and I am sorry I did not blog. We need to do lunch sometime ladys

A friend in the sink

So i wake up this morning and come sit down and get to work on the dread website i have been working and dont even go in the kitchen most of the morning.

Well when hubby and his friend final start moving around i wonder in the kitchen for a drink and happen to find this happy little friend in our sink. Yes its a salamander and no i did not stick the fork in him he was on the other side of it and the only think i can think of is he climbed up the pipe to the sink. we let him stay there for a little while i took some pictures of him and then he decided it was time to go when he tried to climb out of the sink so we caught him and set him free to go. so maybe he will find his way back to the pond or the river or something.

Went to hickory saturday nothing much there right down and right back nothing fun to look at or do other than the conversation about logos on signs that kevin started and getting a little lost but that normal for me.

start my work on my online coarse today lots of basic stuff can do it in my sleep type stuff.

well i think that is all for now must get rest so i can go to work go to ashe and then come home and clean house and work on websites and all that good stuff.

i hope everyone is having a good summer and you all have my number and if you dont send me a comment and i will send it to you. miss you all and i cant wait together at lilys in july

The finished look

well here it is she loves it with a little bit of input from some friends i got it looking really good and she loves it thats the best part. she even said depending on the season we could change the color of it.

As most of you know the hubbys mom found out she had cancer and the week after graduation they had her surgery. well last week she found out she was cancer free that they got it all. Great news she found out on thursday and well she fell on friday and went back today to fix what she pulled when she fell. Just talk to the family and she is doing good which is great. I have been worried about her since she found out. Cancer and moms are not a new thing to me. When i was 14 my moms kidneys shut down and she had to life flighted to a larger hospital than the one she was at. After days of not know what had shut them down they finally determed that she had cancer and it was a rare form of cancer. A seed cancer that one large piece of cancer has something set it off and it shoot smaller ones out in to the body. Mom only weighed 98 pounds when she was ommited to the hospital and i was still a kid. I remember dad taking me outside and telling me what they had decided it was and that cemo was not an option cause of her low weight and the fast spread of it. they gave her 3 weeks to live. She came home and lived 6 weeks total after finding out to only pass away on dec 21. I remember having to tell her i would take care of my dad and it was ok to go. It was hard to say the least. So when Kevins mom would not tell us what was wrong I shut the world off and started to remember and be confronted with all the feelings all over again. It also reminded me of all the good times me and my mom had. I have learned that god works in strange ways and if you trust in him he will help you though any thing. Kevins mom is a fighter and no matter what is put in her way she will find a way to move on. Kevin has a lot of that same spirit in him. So i stood strong for him and for his mom. I miss my mom every day something big in my life happens but i know she still watching me and will always watch me and she raised me the best she could. I love you Mom where ever you are.

thoughts

So this is a logo i am working on for the middle sister inlaw for her new business she is starting she does wedding flowers and those diper cakes you see at showers and that kinda stuff i have kinda been at loss for what to do with it. i have tried so many things and she does not know really what she wants. I know she said something with a banner but you would lose the company name when it got small so i thought i would try this one on her i have not heard from her yet but heck i really like this one.

So my question to you guys that i think have stop reading my blog cause i dont blog as much as everyone else is what do you think of it. do you think to simple or is it just right? i need some input i miss you guys telling me how good or how crappy my work is

but i shall go now must go to sleep so the slave drivers dont get mad tomorrow hehe
still missing you guys when is our next party and lets not all get sick this time

A week with no internet

Wow its been a while I know. I just have not trained my self to sit down and do this. Anyway! Our internet has been out for almost a week and they have just got it back all i have to say is i hate charter sometimes but its one of the better options i guess.

Been in the new office with Tator and Ducttape and Mrs. Amber. It is hotter up there and it is a lot quieter which makes me drift in and out of thought so may my Ipod and Pandora treat me well over the summer because if it dont i make lose my mind. Lots of web stuff going on this summer anyone coming back next year expect a new look when you sign on to www.wilkescc.edu

I finally got the hubby though college now i just have to get him to start looking for a job but i think i have it worked out there too.

My landlord got fired the rumor is for embezzlement I went to pay my rent to only find out what she had told me was 10 more than what it was suppost to be and that we were late a month because our rent got applied some where else casue we did not know it was late in that month. But I guess she was taking the money orders and cashing them and keeping the money. She was also taking drugs for payment for rent. Most of that is rumor and can not be confirmed but I think its more than likely true. There are so many aprtments open over here right now its insane there are 3 in the building next to me and more to open up from what i heard.

But thats all for now i will try hard to update more often I hope everyone is finding your summer enjoyable

so on with the dream
my old desktop teacher had came here to teach some cis class and scott had asked her to be take his spot on newspaper and that she would have to be at the meeting on friday to talk to all of those on the staff well we were in the pit for some reason with all the graphics class and her daughter (also a bitch) was there with her friends well she, the teacher, started this we are going to give the paper a new look and most of the staff was going to be fired and on and on well amber and amanda were there and they were both like what is she talking about and her daughter said well mom can me and my friends be on the staff and she was yeah you guys know more about design than half of the design student here on campus well the 3 of us went to chad and i was pissed like you know how i get and fussing up a storm in chads office when sherry and alison came in and was telling me that it was not right and i should just not be on newspaper any more and chad said yeah and take the template that you and amber put together and so they have nothing to work with and i followed amber in some room cause she was working and i told her i was going to do it and i just started to cry and i keep saying why did she folllow me here she a bitch and she knows nothing about design

Coffee Filters

i seen this tonight and thought of us enjoy and i have copyed and pasted it here but the full aticle is here

Coffee Filters: A Low Tech Solution for Photographers

Fri Feb 23, 2007 7:56PM EST

See Comments (296)

Real Simple Magazine has a list of 101 New Uses for Everyday Things, starting with ten new uses for coffee filters. Who knew coffee filters were a great way to strain wine from a bottle with a broken cork or make yogurt dip. But of course, a more practical use of coffee filters, besides making coffee, is to diffuse your camera's flash on close-ups.

I recently filmed a video at a club with a friend for my personal blog, and noticed that he too had a coffee filter strapped over the light. I thought that was strange, but he said it was supposed to soften the light on people so they wouldn't look so harsh under the bright lights in the night club setting. It's a low tech solution any photographer can appreciate, especially if they're on the road. But coffee filters can also come in handy when you need to white balance your camera, or rid your mobile phone of unwanted residue and oil from your hands.

so i guess we all need to go buy some coffe filters

THE MOST FUNCTIONAL ENGLISH WORD

Well, it's shit ... that's right, shit! Shit may just be the most
functional word in the English language.

Consider:
You can get shit-faced, Be shit-out-of-luck, Or have shit for brains.

With a little effort, you can get your shit together, find a place for your
shit, or be asked to shit or get off the pot.

You can smoke shit, buy shit, sell shit, lose shit, find shit, forget shit,
and tell others to eat shit.

Some people know their shit, while others can't tell the difference between
shit and shineola.

There are lucky shits, dumb shits, and crazy shits. There is bull shit,
horse shit, and chicken shit.

You can throw shit, sling shit, catch shit, shoot the shit, or duck when the
shit hits the fan.

You can give a shit or serve shit on a shingle.

You can find yourself in deep shit or be happier than a pig in shit.

Some days are colder than shit, some days are hotter than shit, and some
days are just plain shitty.

Some music sounds like shit, things can look like shit, and there are times
when you feel like shit.

You can have too much shit, not enough shit, the right shit, the wrong shit
or a lot of weird shit.

You can carry shit, have a mountain of shit, or find yourself up shit creek
without a paddle.

Sometimes everything you touch turns to shit and other times you fall in a
bucket of shit and come out smelling like a rose.

When you stop to consider all the facts, it's the basic building block of
the English language.

And remember, once you know your shit, you don't need to know anything
else!!

You could pass this along, if you give a shit; or not do so if you don't
give a shit!

Well, Shit, it's time for me to go. Just wanted you to know that I do give
a shit and hope you had a nice day, without a bunch of shit. But, if you
happened to catch a load of shit from some shit-head...........


Well, Shit Happens!!!

no class

Dr Ducttape has informed me there is not class in the morning everyone sleep in and enjoy the day off. and if you see my hubby tomorrow give him hell about his bday

dinner with a twist

So we decided tonight that we were going to go grab some grub from the local Chinese Restaurant down here. Well we call preacher boy and grabbed the keys and out the door we went Well i had just got me some of that cat that i like so much and sat down. Well i looked up and low and behold who had walked in other than the templar him self. Yes lily's cousin templar. We all enjoyed a long laugh and stories about getting our spankings and learning that lily would hide from hers hehe. Well much fun was had until giggle boy walked in he had seen preacher boys truck in the parking lot and had to come in and talk to him. well anyway that was my night with the gang and i thought you all might be interested. our fast dinner turned into a 2 hour dinning enjoyment.

always enjoy your cat on a stick

Good Behavior gets you the good job

good

Ok i know i say this a lot but im a slacker bad no blogs in so long oh well blogging is not most important thing to me right now. But there is good news to be shared so why not share it with the world

So I dont know how many of you remember Dr. Ducktape talking about the taylorsville times looking for a sales assistant postion open. well i fought with my self for a while about it and talked to everyone to get what they thought i should do well everyone said the same thing to apply.

Late friday night Dr. Ducktape sent me an IM about how they were intrested in me and was willing to work around my classes. Well i was excited to say the least but still not sold on applying. Worried about being able to handle it all with school and all.

Saturday afternoon we decide to get something to eat at shanghi before heading to the inlaws for the day and to use their car to go to winston on tuesday. well the nice lady brought us our cookies and the great wisdom of both cookies was as follows;
"every job is a self portrait of the person who did it. autograph your work wiht excellence." And "many opportunities are open; take advantage of them"
I know who would listen to a cookie. Well it was like the answer to my questions were being handed to me. So i came home sent the man an email. spent today fixing my resume and i have an interview wensday at 2 woot Im so ecxited. He called and talked to me about the job and some other odds and ends.

So the moral of my story is always listen to what those little cookies in your life have to say lol

Above you will see my idea for part of our game just a taste of what we are doing just a small taste.
Enjoy and I will see you on Tuesday

ok so I have worked on my book and my final for illustartion and im done with the illustration woot!!

As i worked today all i could think about was this is do on this day and this is due on this day. So I took a break and started looking for OCC stuff for kevin for christmas. I was looking at the wall papers on the occ website when i found this. And it hit something. What jr. said here just hit home for me and made me think about all this stuff and how the dates were holding me back thinking i dont have time when all i need to do is work on them and i will have them done in no time. So i wanted to share this little piece of advice with all of you as we head in to the end of our last few days of the semster.
Good Luck all and dont let Tator and Dr. Ducktape get you down!!!

just another monday

Ok so it was a semi normal monday. learned how to profestional and how to talk in public. Well i did that in high school alot so im ok with just has been a long time since i had to do it so im a little uneasy about it.

I worked on ads today and some pages for my book. I plan on knocking out a good lot of my zoo stuff tomorrow in mrs desktops class. If i can make it 2 more weeks i have to got it. I just hope i can pass the big math test if i cant pass it in 2 trys i have to retake that class. I hate math i all ways have.

I spent the weekend with friends and playing my game some. We went out to see a movie something we dont do offten. Went to see Happy Feet. I loved it. Very cute movie and it cheered me up. I think bloging like a mad woman in the middle of the night, or early morning helped lol. Sometime i express myself better in writing than i do when i try to voice it. Kevin even look at it and seen what has been bothering me for a while. helped out there too.

I think im starting to get some ideas for ideas for his gifts. I am going to make him a coupon book for the things he likes. Like one night of any movie you want to watch, one dinner of your choice, and so on like that. I think i will name it the "Bitch Free Coupon Book" all the things i will do with out Bitching about haveing to do them. I guess i bitch alot to him and it frustrats him i can tell. but he goes on and does not say a word. Along with the dvds im going to get him and the OCC monoploy game i think he will be set. Thanks Shmee for the idea you told me today thats what sprung the coupon book.

Im really excited for this weekend. should be alot of fun. but i cant tell you what it is its confedentional (i know i cant spell)

but i must go watch some tv and fall asleep early so i can get up for a change. See you all in the AM
Go Team Coleman

Thats life i guess

Well 2 in one day kinda. Its four in the morning and i cant sleep hell i cant think strait today. I have been feeling like i cant live up to anything ever feel that way? I have spread my self to thin and worried about everyone but my self latly i guess i just care to much sometimes. Now this is not a poor me blog by no means just trying to get out whats on my mind. So bear with me and if you dont want to read any further then by all means stop now and go else where. If you do want to read i must warn you i may be going deep inside my litte mind, or what i have left of it.

I started this semster thinking I could handle what i have set my self up for. 6 classes, Tator warned me, Dr. Ducktape warned me, the hubby begged not to, and most of my friends told me i was crazy. Well now i agree. I cant handle it all. I have had a mental block all semster, as most of you have seen. My house looks like a tornato hit it and I do belive my marriage is now on the rocks because of it. I want to give up everything so bad but I would only be doing what i have been doing all my life. When is it all to much? When do you find that point? I have been asking my self that all semseter when i wake up still tired, when im sitting class about to fall asleep. Most people seem to find a way to blame this on my gaming. Its not. Some have blamed it on my house guest i have every night. Its not that either. I cant sleep cause i feel like im drowning in everything i feel like im behind on something which is everything most of the time. I lay awake all night sometimes thinking about what i should be doing that im not cause im just laying there.

Now as of tonight its got even worse. I think my good intentions and caring about other people has been miss judged as noseness and a way to cause drama. Its not that all I just dont want to see anyone get hurt in the long run. I know that niether party would do anything its not them i worry about. Its the rest of the world that might want to bring these people down. As i was all ways told when i was younger "It's all fun and games until someone gets an eye poked out" maybe i have been clear as mud for people I still hope understand me come monday.

The hubby is asleep and worried about me. I just want him to know hes wasteing his time there no sence in worrying about me cause 99% of the time i worry enough for the both of us.

I miss home not home as in ashe either. Home as in Utah. We cant get our heads above water enough to go out there. I call my dad and my sister all the time but its not the same. My niece will be driving soon i have missed alot in her life cause im here. And when god decides to bless us with child of our own child im scared my dad wont get to see them. I know that moving to NC was the best thing i could have ever done. If i would have stayed there i would have been with trash, as i will call him here in hopes he never finds me, and i would never have gone on to school and i would have always been stuck in a no where job. But its the holidays and its the hardest time of the year for me. I have told some of you how i feel about this but once again this just one of those clear my mind blogs im sorry if the same story different day.

The hubby keeps telling me not get him anything for christmas he has told me that for the last 3 years and he always ends up with some rinky dink thing or one year nothing cause he wont tell me what he wants or i just cant find him the right gift. I dont knwo what to do I want him to have the best gift i can get him. Something that i know he will love but wont know about until then. Hes still asleep i can hear him snoreing too. He will wake up soon and yell for me again to make sure im ok. I love him dearly and hope he can handle me for the rest of the semster cause it might get ugly here soon.

But I think im done now i want to tell you the reader who ever you might be im sorry if alot of this does not make sence it is 5 in the morning now and i have been up since 8:30. Maybe all this blowing off steam or all the tears might mean i get a few hours of sleep to i can get up and get something done.

Thank you again please over look my spelling

need to blog more offten

Im such a slacker!!!
Well im sitting here in class with nothing to do and im bored. With a baned on myspace i have nothing to fill my boreing classes with when i have nothing eles to do.

I came to work today something i really need to do more of. I like being creative on the spot. I did not think about the poster i made today until sat down to work on it. And I think it turned out pretty good if i do say so my self. Look for it on campus its was for the santa visit next week.

News paper is out of the way for another semester. Im not happy with some of the stuff that was an outcome of censership for a lack of better terms. I seen the VP the other local publication here on campus and it had a big FU on the top and some comic of some one getting spanked and inside there was an article bashing gay people. Now i know there are people that are gay on campus and i have no problem with that. What i do have a problem with is other people bashing them. I dont understand how come we get censored but the other group does not. Not happy about that at all

I have to start working on a Tshirt design for SGA over the weekend. They want something with a lizard on it, even thought the them is "Spread the new" i know it did not make sence to me either. They had another idea that half of SGA did not like. With a spreader and a corn feild and something that kinda looked like a crop cicrle. I might do it too and the lizard one and see waht one they like more.

With school almost over the thoughts of Christmas is looming on me. I have no idea what to do for Kevin. He wants a laptop but at last we dont have enough money for that. Oh well maybe I will get a good idea for him. Im up for any ideas anyone might have.

I cant wait until next weekend for the great enjoyment that will be had. Im not allowed to talk about it but im still excited.

I must go enjoy some lunch now

Long time no blog

So its been a long time since I bloged and now im being called a slacker. Well you all know I am look at how far i am on the project thats due next week. ugg and thats why i have no bloged. I am in over my head this semseter. I was really worried I would be but i thought well im tuff i can handle it. Well if im not in class or work I at home trying to get house work done or work on out of school stuff. I have decided next semster im not going to bog my self down. I am going to take what class i need to take with brian then not take my coop and wait till fall to do it. that might help but i dont know. I will slow down one of these days.

Well last night most of you know i was going to go to Dooleys with some friends. A couple we all meet durring merlfest. Kevin meet them doing artist transportion and well i meet them though kevin. We had a great time its was Jeff and me and kevin and the couple from merlfest and a couple that Lori had meet at her gym. They are from ohio and are trying to find people to hang out with. We include them with at our table. We all ate and oh my gosh they have some good food. Loris husband Rick showed up a little later on in the night along with david. I was a lot of fun. We watched jeff sing. Lori have a few to many. Kevin not drink cause he was driving us all home and well me im not sure what i did I know i made sure lori was ok the whole night which i did not have a problem with. I love hanging out with them so much. Rick and Lori (couple from merlefest i know i trail off sometimes) are the kinda people you can sit down to have dinner or lunch with and 3 hours later you are still sitting in the restuarnt talking and drinking some coke or even in some case mass amounts of adult drinks.

Well thats not all that happened last night. Well we got in the van to go to the bar. This was fine and dandy untill i got almost to the next drive way and it died and the gas light came on. Yup you guessed it the old MP3 is out of gas. well we start to push it home well the little hill at our drive way did not want us to push the van up it. so kevin said cut it to the right we will put in this gavle right her (right next to our house on the college side) well he cut it right and told me to hold it right well i turned it left cause i forget what is right and left some times i know im an idiot you dont have to tell me well we got in the gravle but only the back tires would go over the curb. so they had to push me off the curb. well we pushed it over to the college in a flat parking spot left a note and got out of there. i feel so stupid that i could do something like that. well when they pushed me off the curb my spear tire fell off and the rack draged all the way to the college so we are hoping its ok and can hold my spear tire for another day. When kevin and jeff wake up we will be going on to get it.

but i think i will end this now cause my im finaly being able to swollow after all the smoke that was in the bar last night so i must find food and wake up some more

Friday night was great thank you all for coming over I had a great time. Lily, Shvic (for a short moment), Shat, Mrs Amber and Mr Amber and baby amber, and Chicken tips. The other kevin was here for a little while also but he hung out with kevin most of the time. We picked at chicken tips for a while watched many many mel brooks films, and had some food. I think everyone had a great time and I cant wait to do it again.

Saturday was my same old same old. Played WoW all day and sat around doing nothing.

Sunday I got the tab cover done! woot! Now chicken tips just has to get his boss to sign off on it and then i get to make a ton of ads for it. Also finished the pictograms for Prof. Tater I like them but who knows they may suck super bad or they may be the best thing since sliced bread lol. I have been thinking about Chicken tips class project but i have came short on ideas so I am going to have to though something together some time today for his class today.

I have to go be Prof. Taters slave this morning, no cards for me, so i must take a shower and get rdy to head over there i was going to be there at 8:30 but i just could not get my butt out of bed. oh well whats the worst he could say to me hehe just kidding Prof. Tater
