WTF

Ok...so you set up a meeting with a vendor, then pass the shit off the day they are suppose to come in?! Why the hell do I need to take the meeting when you set it up? Great way to start a day.

Stating the obvious

Ok peeps....when you ask me to look into an order I've placed, I don't need you to tell me when it was due...obviously that doesn't matter considering it's not here & no one is held accountable for being on time. I have access to the original order, so I can see when it was actually placed, any notes, revisions, etc.

I'm just saying.

3rd YouTube video: Bringing in a little of the 50's Glam

I have my lighting. I've somewhat got the video recorder & tripod thing down. I'm getting better with Windows movie maker & the whole editing thing (I even figured out how to do the whole voice over thing! Lol) And I think I'm getting better - well being my 3rd video I think I have been progressing.
It's actually kind of fun! Very time consuming - but what the hell else do I have to do...not a whole lot :)
I'm constantly learning new things, researching & all that fun stuff!
Now I just need subscribers!

My Little Ducklings

Oh my pugs - they are my ducklings! LOL Everywhere I go, they are right behind me & heaven forbid I close the bathroom door & they can't get in! (my cat whines too hahaha). We are off to bed after playing with makeup & chasing the cat :)

App Ads & quick fingers

I completely understand apps that are free will have advertisement throughout them, which is what keeps them free - but WHY does the advertisement have to pop up & take over the ENTIRE screen when you are right in the middle of playing the app. Not only that, they place the "install" button in an area that you are bound to hit if you're in the middle of playing the game! Grrr then I have to close out & start it over again & it's aggravating! I saw it the 1st time & I didn't want to install it then, why would I want to install it now? Am I the only one this irritates?

Spit it out!

Seriously...when it comes to business, when 3 words will suffice for the 20 you just used, I want to slap you across the head. SPIT IT OUT! I don't care who else you talked to, what it is for or used in, just tell me what you want purchased, the qty & when you need it. Very simple. And after working with me for over a year, you would think people would have it down that I prefer email, especially when you are requesting something to be ordered.- and I don't need you to call me prior to & tell me your going to send one.
Please refrain from asking stupid questions...think before you open your mouth - its "office space" everyday.

My 1st YouTube video

Can't believe it! I must be insane - but here goes nothing!

Product Review

I've been using the Origins Brush cleaner for the past couple of weeks & I have to say I'm not really impressed. While I like the idea of the spray bottle & the liquid is very light, it doesn't seem to be doing much for cleaning my brushes.
It makes me want to just scrub the crap out of my brushes but of course that wouldn't be a good idea! I think I'm going to have to go back to my trusty MAC brush cleaner soon!

Day 1 of filming: WTH am I doing?

Kudos to all the gurus & other people who consistently upload videos to YouTube!
My first day was not a complete epic fail, but I hope I'm not the only aspiring guru who started off rough & had no idea what they were doing! LOL
I'm halfway done editing, & I'll need to re-do a section of it in the morning, then hopefully at least upload my 1st video...only to start another. Trial & error; practice makes perfect - these sayings keep going through my head.
I am sure there will be a TON of negative comments because that's what arrogant, miserable people across the Internet do to each other & I don't see the point or what kind of satisfaction they would get out of it. But at least I'm trying - this is a HUGE step for me! Yes I'm nervous & scared out of my mind, but I just hope God has put these interests in my head for me to pursue with His help. I don't know if it will just be a life lesson He is trying to get through to me, or if this will turn into more - but I'm hoping for the good!

Here's to beginning a new venture!

For the past couple of months I have been pondering the meaning of life...what is my purpose? Am I happy? How do you know if you're happy? What makes me happy? What is it that I want to do in my life?
Due to the struggle with depression I have battled & being so insecure, I've never made a decision on my own. I know, sounds completely insane & WTF? But I haven't. I tried so hard to be anyone that someone else wanted me to be: like the same music, fashion style, etc.
When the divorce happened, God opened my eyes to the destruction I was doing to myself & others around me. So now, I'm not afraid to turn up Britney Spears w/ my car windows down; letting the eclectic hippie/boho flow out, dancing around my house by myself; being alone; having my own interests & being myself (which I'm still learning) & handle my depression straight on. It's a difficult thing to wake up & not know anything about yourself - there's a million things going through my head & it's definitely hard to reign all those thoughts in & do one thing at a time (yes, being an extremist sucks some times). But what I do know is that I'm doing things because I want to...no pressure & I enjoy what I am doing....I like to say I'm a productive hermit :)
With all that being said, the major hurdle that I am facing now is my job/career/work. I don't think He meant for me to sit behind a computer all day, be mediocre. I've gotten back into crafts, pictures, jewelry, makeup & have definitely over loaded myself with my "To Do List" LOL But I've really enjoyed makeup...I love how it can transform a person, whether it's prom night or the use of prosthetics in movies, it is truly an art. I love how it goes hand in hand with the fashion industry - I had always loved fashion & wanted to be in that industry, but it just didn't suit my personality. I see makeup as an avenue back into the fashion world, but not in it...if that makes sense.
So, I'm going to do everything I can to make this happen...be a makeup artist. I have no idea what the hell I'm doing or where to start, but all I know is that I love putting makeup on others (I do makeovers for my Mary Kay business) & being able to enjoy what you do for a living would be a dream come true! I'm terrified, skeptical: maybe I'm too old to start over? Even though I was kind of forced to start my life over due to the debacle I went through...
I am now REALLY going to try & get better at this 'blogging' thing & share anything about makeup, skin care, etc. that I learn about. I will also be blogging more about the DIY projects I did & of course, everyday mundane life...it will be a modpodge of STUFF! So here goes nothing...

Wild Jewelry!

I am really into the bow accessories - not sure how that happened, but nevertheless I do. :)
I did a quick & easy DIY today - a zebra bow ring...love it!

Time standing still at a doctor's office

Okay seriously - why the hell does it take an hour to see your primary care physician after your appointment time? I think this field is the only one that appointment times are completely ignored by the employees yet if a patient is even 15 minutes late, they are chastised & may possibly be refused by the doctor or payment is still expected. Um...what is wrong with this picture?
So I'm sitting here waiting to see my doctor for a mandatory "check" so I can continue to receive one of the many prescriptions I have to take (which is a whole other irritant of mine) - its been OVER an hour since I arrived, early mind you, for my appointment time. We all know the visit will take a whole 5 min but I have to sit & wait until the doctor comes to my room. WTH. I'm not getting paid for this crap. Actually - as most responsible people, I have a job in which I have taken time off to come give my money to another establishment that doesn't adhere to appointment scheduling.
Hello! I'm busy too! Again, another jacked up system. Do I get compensated for my time of waiting...no.
Going to the doctor is like listening to the weather. We all know the waiting period before you are actually seen is ridiculous (don't make any plans for later-you never know how long you will be there) just like the weather person can be wrong about predicting the weather & it's acceptable (shoot, if I could be right only 50% of the time @ my job & it be ok that would be awesome). Don't get me wrong - doctors are busy & I respect what they do - but come on!

What's the point of making an appointment if it still takes forever to get in?
