Eve Noir

Today is a GREAT day on many levels. My first week back in the blogging world and I won a prize pack put together by the ever so creative Eve Noir, over at Through Eve's Looking Glass. I am ever so excited to get her package and will most definitely post all of the goodies for everyone to see!! :) Thank you, Eve, you made my evening!! :)

Second off, while hanging out with my mom today, I got a call from my old job offering me a temp job from Nov.16th- mid January working the clerical side of the local H1N1 shot clinics. It is around 32 hours a week, but same pay as i left (which is more than my unemployment) and i would be able to continue unemployment when i get laid off again... SO...i think it is good. It gives me something to do AND looking at the list of where all of the clinics are (homeless shelters, high schools, churches and bad neighborhoods).... I may just have some interesting stories to tell. :)

Happy Weekend Everyone!!

oh... the picture above is Mark Ryden.. one of my favorite artists and the reason why I won my goodies from Eve today!! :)

PSYCHO BEACH PARTY

So yesterday, when hanging out with my boyfriend, he told me he wanted us to watch a movie that he LOVED. So.... he put on PSYCHO BEACH PARTY... Right away, I knew that i would like it because Lauren Ambrose is in it (favorite actress from 6 feet under)... Seriously... this movie was HILARIOUS!!! loved loved loved it. :) Check it out...

Achilles Tendonitis

Last year at some point i finally decided to go to the doctor about my chronic ankle pain. I waited tables for about 8 years straight and have had ongoing ankle problems for as long as i could remember, SO, I finally had a great job, with great insurance and decided to figure out what the problem was. I was told that i had achilles tendonitis, I wore a boot for about 2 months and a cast for a week (i couldnt do the crutches) on my left foot... Regardless, through all this it triggered my RIGHT foot to over compensate and I got it in my right foot now. It comes and goes..sometimes it kills me (like right now) and sometimes i dont even know there is anything wrong. The funny thing is all of the explanations on why it happens:

-"Pump bump"- wearing heels (i don't wear heels)

-Popular athletic injury (not athletic person)

I should have had surgery, my doctor did nothing but look at it and put me in a cast...i should've have gone to a specialist, i SHOULD have had an MRI or at least an x-ray. Now that I am layed off, my health insurance has also been stripped away. So... my point of this story is that is you HAVE insurance, make sure to get EVERYTHING you need done... because in a heartbeat, it can be taken away from you.

I am back

Hi.

Well, here i am. Back to attempting to write on my blog again. Fun fun. In the past few months, I have had many things happen. Here we go.

- I am unemployed after two years of working for the County. I fully have not accepted this and feel I probably am in denial... but due to budget cuts, i lost my job. I will be fine. Good things are waiting for me.

- I still have the same boyfriend. I love him. :)

-Both of my parents dogs died to old age within 1 month of each other. Totally totally sucks and was/is a hard pill to swallow that they are both gone. :(

- I have been crocheting alot lately and got a ton of yarn from freecycle. Yay... I think i am going to actually try to sell on Etsy... I have a shop, just have never attempted to sell anything.

-Cricket and Spider are still doing great.

-My butt is getting bigger and I really need to start exercising. note to sel: start tomorrow.

I hope all is well in bloggy land with everyone. :)

Be back Soon...

- Black Eyed Peas "Boom Boom Pow"....i love that song!!

This weeks theme is "songs that remind you of highschool". Man, i have SOOOO many songs that remind me of high school, but Danzig never fails. I was a freshman in highschool when i started dating a senior basketball player. He was a real nerdy guy, but loved me and my parents loved him. We dated for a year, he joined the Army and I broke up with him when he was on leave. He cried. Actually cried. Thinking back, Im not sure what happened. He probably would have stuck with me til the end. Oh well. He introduced me to Danzig. I would wear my boyfriends Danzig half shirt that said "uncensored" sprawled across the back. I thought i was dangerous and hard core. I still have a picture of me with that shirt on sitting in a old camo army jeep that my dad had, wearing black flo jo sandals and black and white hounds tooth shorts with my long blonde hair flowing.... funny. Still to this day, I love Danzig. He is gritty and bold, a little satanic and cold. But i like him! and...i almost melted when my current boyfriend showed up wearing a Danzig shirt on one day.... i'm in love. Enjoy!
