Photo Meme- Roses




The flowers were from my husband, James. He gave them to me before Christian was born. The flowers were a "I love You", a "Just because" bouquet. He also gave my Mom flowers too, not roses but a very nice bouquet. Roses are my favorite flower. I started to take pictures of all my bouquets that I was given. I use to dry them and hang them up on my walls in my closet, but James hated it. So I just took pictures of them instead, I had a lot of fun doing it. They stood still and didn't talk! The best subjects!

Childhood fun!



I got the thinking about what I loved as a child and remembered that not much has changed. I still love the watch Disney movies and collect Comic books. Yes, I'm 26 years old and still read comics! I know I'm a dork and that's okay with me! I still read "children's" stories on occation. I still love a good stuffed animal to cuddle with every now and again. Usually when my son is playing with his stuffed animals, I'll grab one too. Seeing a pretty flower will still excite me....especially if I get them in bouquets, which is so rare nowadays.
I still collect rocks/stones but now for different reasons, but still I collect them. I still love to learn about history, that one will never change. I'm still fasinated by the animal kingdom, but instead of reading about them I watch National Geographic Channel or Animal Planet.
All my fun things I did as a child I still do, only some in different forms.

My boy loves to rollarblade and color. Also to play cars and drive his toy cars all over. I wonder if he'll still love it when he's twenty? I'm sure the rollarblading will be a lifetime thing, like his father. The coloring, maybe not.

New Year, New Troubles


Well the new year came and I got to kiss my best little man on New Year's Eve. That was the highlight of the night.
Things got a little hairy at work. My boss is very much like Professor Umbridge in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. She is sickingly sweet one moment then an evil "wench" the next. I was told is was done to each employee but I think she just didn't like me from the start. She proceed to give me little math exams just to make me feel stupid and harassed. I hate math and she just loved to make me feel like I was in Kindergarden again. She wasn't a nice person. She'd give me questions that I didn't even have to know for the job, the computer does them for the technician.
Well then she cut my hours from 24 a week to just 4 a week! I knew she had started to train a new tech. but the woman had no training as a tech and probably won't last under her riegn of terror for long.
Last night I saw her come into work on her day off and knew. I was fired. The conversation lasted all of two minutes and I walked out without a good bye or an "F" you to my former boss. I don't want Karma to come back at me and show me what she can do, so I left without any lashing out.

Now I can only look to the future with happy thoughts and a positive attitude. I will get a job and I will succeed at it. And it will be much better than the last one.
The only thing I will miss is the friends I made there, one in particular I will miss, she was a friend and confidant.

So wish me luck please on finding the perfect job for me and please, I need one fast, as in last week, fast.
