Life of convenience

It's amazing how lazy people are. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely one of them! I am thinking this as I sit in a drive-thru at Pak-a-Sak. This is the fanciest gas station in the little town I live in & it's crazy how the drive-thru is always busy & the store front typically doesn't have many cars parked. I've seen people get like 2 bags of crap at the drive-thru & to me now that's a little much. That's like using a less than 10 items in the self check out at Walmart when you have a basket full of junk! Or how we will look all over the house for the remote control yet in all that time we can't just change the damn channel! LOL it's pretty amazing the silly things we do sometimes that we think save us time & yet sometimes it doesn't.
Had I just gone in the Pak-a-Sak I probably would have been out of there quicker - but the drive thru sounded nice & quite frankly I didn't really wan to exert any energy to move my ass out of my car. Just saying.

How to embarrass yourself on the phone at the workplace...

Answer it like a jack-ass because the caller ID shows your co-worker's extension/name. Another point of why I hate phones.

When transferring calls in the work place, it is common courtesy to tell the person that you are going to transfer a call to them, at least give them a head's up, not just throw it out there & get blindsided - especially when it's a sales call & I don't know who this person is.

It's hard enough being a female in the workplace, oil field & small town, I'd rather not look like a complete idiot.

WTF?? Dog nuptials?!


Don't get me wrong - I'm an avid animal lover - but this is a little much. 100 + friends & family members attended the Palm Desert Club house for the ceremony & celebration.

Total cost of wedding: $5,000!!! WTF

Ok, so maybe in the wedding sense, that's a pretty great deal, but a wedding for two dogs?! Come on! I don't even have $5,000 for myself much less for my 4-legged children.

In my opinion, that kind of money that is being used frivolously (yes, it's still frivolous no matter how important the owner feels about the hoopla) could have been donated to a sanctuary or animal shelter in need - there are definitely many out there to choose from.

What do you think? They look adorable though :)

YouTube progression & other updates

To anyone who is thinking of putting out a YouTube channel & keeping up with it, know that it is very time consuming. I give props to all those who have channels that are regularly viewed & updated whether it be daily or weekly. Even blogging is time consuming!
I'm getting the hang of videos I think, but still trying to figure out my niche - my signature. Who knows if that will ever happen. I'm trying to get better at keeping it up to date, but my full time job takes up most of my time during the week (how do full time mom's do it? Kudos to you too!)
I know there is still much needed improvement in my personal life & I'm working on them. I'm also trying to figure out how to get where I want to be with makeup - but for now, I'm saving, saving, saving! As with anything, money is a huge factor. But I at least found something I enjoy doing, ties me back into the fashion world & find fascinating. I have a very big dream, I don't know which parts are achievable - if any - but I suppose that's why I have to try huh? It's hard to remember the blood, sweat & tears others who are successful went thru to get where they are - you just see how fabulous they are now.
I suppose it's back to work now.

Mornings are not best time

I don't officially consider myself 'awake' until about 10 am on weekdays...I'm definitely not a morning person. I'm one to grumble & hit the snooze button 10x before actually getting out of bed & then stumbling into my bathroom.
Well, Esme it not any better :) its like pulling teeth to get her out of bed. Now Bella is up & ready to go - she just likes to follow me around. As I was brushing my teeth, I looked at Bella & said "it would be so nice if you two girls could go out & bring home the money while I stay home" - she just cocked her head at me & looked at me as if I was crazy...maybe I am a little. LOL.
Now it's time to run off to my day job & get through the day.

Bad case of the Mun-days

Damn corporate world. Do you have days that you just want to bag your head against the wall & hit people? That's most of my work days. It's like a bad version of "Ground hog day" - although I hated that movie too.
Why is it, that people have to ask you the same damn question all the time? For instance, if 3 weeks ago, we couldn't expedite a particular part & vendor was able to find only ~150 pcs that were left over from previous job to ship to us to hold us over, why would the answer be any different today if there were more they could send to us now? It wouldn't be! So to ask me if there is a partial they could ship sooner than what I had just told you is absolutely retarded! Grrr!! Call me bitchy, but damn!
You shouldn't despise waking up in the morning & dragging your ass into work only to look forward to "baby sitting" & bull shit without at positive. Don't get me wrong, I know I have a decent job, it just doesnt make me happy or motivate me to do anything. It's like being a little kid in school & you are just staring at the clock until the bell rings...torture.

That's my daily rant

Jealous Melvin

My girls are too funny! If Bella (the smaller of the two) comes to sit by me, here comes Esme (better known as Mama) barges her big self right on top of me! Crazy girls! LOL
