i get so emotional, baby.

Soooo, today was my last day at my job of 10 years.  I cried like a crazy woman off and on all day.  Seeing my empty desk.  Phone calls from well-wishers.  Telling my super boss, auf wiedersehen.  They say it takes 30 days to break a habit, so he may find me parked in my spot every day.  It's like family....I can't quit you.  And I think I am PMSing (TMI?  maybe.).  And my man deploys in less than a month.  And I start my new job on Monday.  I'm terrified.  And my BFF is kinda hurtin' right now.  It's a lot to deal with, right?  But it's not all doom and gloom.  Sometimes you need a jolt!!!

Here is a lovely treasury to share!

4 july 2010

I before I head out for the weekend, I just want to wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July weekend!

i needed that.

Maybe you need a laugh today, too?

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wear this - ever.

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

Don't worry, there's more...

obsessed.

I have been working on new card designs this week, which is a welcome change from making the same old things!  I recently picked up some paper from Jillibean Soup and I am totally obsessed with it now!  Especially with this design!!

I should just buy a whole pack of it and make hundreds of birdhouse cards!  The rest of the cabbage stew collection is quite nice, too.   I just wish I could find a place that carries each paper in almost every line.  That would make life SO much better :)

new website.

Corner Studio
Check out my new website!  I wanted something to gather my entire business into one place.  It's a work in progress, but so far I am really liking it.  I purchased my domain name and am using weebly.com for free hosting.  Not a bad deal!  So go check it out, and if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

reading.

I love to read!  I never get those people who say they hate it.  It just makes no sense :)  I have been working for much lately, that I long for the day I can read more than one paragraph before I fall asleep at night!  I'm looking forward to reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo  while on vacation.  It has been sitting in my stack for a while.  I also saw that a 50th anniversary edition of To Kill a Mockingbird is available.  It's one of my very favorite books!  So many books, so little time!  Anyone have a summer reading list??
