smile

this song really makes me smile ;) a thank you to kristina contes for leading me to her name!

so i'm a bad blogger.

I've put total neglect into this page in the last month. my back has been hurting again, it makes me very tired, and siting at the computer to work can be a problem. Justin has been not been at his best either, with us both sick in the bathroom this morning. I'm excited by change that is happening inside and out. spring is peeking in on us here in Georgia. Justin said he's going to give his garden another try this year, with last year being so poor i have high hopes for the new season. I've cut my hours back at the store, and should start helping Marla in the office work for lavenders blue very soon. I'm looking forward to helping our little family business going, Marla said to expect to gown fairly quickly this season, and hopefully Justin will be making enough working for lavender's that he can quit the restaurant . end post

hello to all.

well i guess it has been a while. i've been around, very busy though. i finally got a new car, its very nice an acura vigor or as my step dad says "the cadillac of honda" ; ) it has black leather interior, a sun roof, power everything and only 100,000 miles (this is impressive because it's a '93!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and the paint is in excellent condition. love this car!
anyway justin had to fire his new line cook earlier this month, the guys was a total drunk. he came to work "5" sheets to the wind (he was so drunk his rag was on fire ON HIS HAND and he did not even feel it! so justin told him to go home. well instead he went to the bathroom and chug'd 2 bottles ($200 worth) of wine that he stole off the wine rack(they also found his underwear in the trash the next day in the trash, he had been so druck befor stealing the wine that he craped him self! yuck!) well after he did this justin had not other options but to fire the guy. i just don't understand how a 30 year old man can let him self be this way. even at their drunkest of anyone in my whole life i have NEVER known someone this wasted. well this was at about 3:00pm that this all went down for the hubby. the worst for justin can at about 9:00 went the guys girlfreind came to pick him up and he has to tell her that "jack" did not work there any more and that he had not seen him since the afternoon . i felt so bad for the poor girl she has just moved out here from arizona to be with that guy and he was all she had. he said he could see the tears start to well up in here eyes. anyway the worst for "jack" came later. well here, i'll let you guys read for your self this is the arrest report from one of our local papers:

i am in pain and nothing is working

OK so i know I'm out of shape, but this is ridiculous. J bought me "Carmen Electra aerobic striptease" yesterday the workout was fun and easy but still a good workout that had my whole body stretched. Well today I got my period and my cramps are unbelievable! I've tried a hot shower, the massage thing, a nap and now some Advil. I just hate that it's this hard to function. It just seems like every time I get my period everything that used to hurt starts hurting again, and I just can't seem to get past it . This is when I hate my body.

Meet the farm chicks, they rock!!

i loooove urban outfitters !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love coats and these two are the bee's knee's but that houndstooth one is like $450

This is like the best Georgia shirt i have ever seen totally worth the 38$ they want to be this sweet during the GA/FL game.

This shirt just rocks I'd wear it everyday with my red polka dot headband and red bangle.

I want this hanging in my office j loves pirates and I love birds!

These jams rock out.

So I'm always on Justin's nerves with the light in the office so he said to get one for my work corner and I think I'm partial to these hanging ones. These are the one's I liked best from ub.

I want this rug and these curtains for my office.

ok guys seriously hours of holly jolly goodness. thanks to emily falconbridge. your blog has been an inspiration tonight. it has saved me from a humdrum evening waiting for my huney to get home from work. which by the way he told me he would be late because the violet masons are playing at the turtle. i don't know what i want more for us to live closer to fernandina or if i want him to work closer to st marys.

accident update

OK so i have a rental car now. still no word on anything else. i only got the car because i called my insurance and cried because i had been having trouble getting a hold of the other guys insurance and i was gonna be stranded at work with no way to get home. so ashley(thank you jesus for progressive insurance. you guys are the best i will never change companys after this) called there manager and i had a car that night!

fancy pants designs DT call Entry

so i completely understand that I'm a long shot for this but i just could not stand the thought of all my friends trying out and me just not even giving it a go. so here is what i entered plus the essay they wanted (not really an essay but once you get the bio, experience, and a few words why you want to be picked it sure looks like one) i think i gave a strong showing but i know there has to be tons of people just as good or better also trying out. so I'm not gonna get my hopes to high. it was a lot of fun to do these though. my favorites are glow and the note tin (that one is gonna double as a x-mas gift for my mommy-in-law, between her and my own mommy i get a lot of encouragement with this stuff and they really do help me to get better . art is one thing I've always been very good at and scrapbooking is a favorite to express this, and it's good to know that it is appreciated .
