I love fashion, but…

I had a revelation this morning while getting dressed for work. This may be the most profound knowledge that I have about fashion.

I suppose I have never tried anything like what I did this morning. This could have been a total travesty if followed through. When something like this comes your way in life, you can’t help but think the angels are watching over you.

I will share this wealth of knowledge with you because I wouldn’t want anyone to discover what I did in the middle of a work day or a date.

Here goes… You cannot wear Capri pants with a ¾ length sweater or shirt. It just looks like your clothes have shrunk.

Hahahah! I committed this major crime in the wee hours this morning. Maybe it was the lack of sleep, or maybe I have NO fashion sense, but at one point I was wearing what looked like the clothes of a 7 year old on my 20 something body.

Please remember this for the rest of your days. It can be prevented.

Halloween is fun!

We have a pumpkin carving contest at work today. Since I work in the internet technology department (and we are hated ) I submitted one for IT that is eating other departments. It’s a stereotypical IT nerd with glasses. I think it’s cute and funny.

The second picture is of the IT pumpkin and my other house pumpkin. The IT pumpkin actually looks nice compared to the alien. Scuuurrry!

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Work is crazy. Super crazy.

I am definitely grateful to be employed. At the same time I thought I’d be further along in my career.

I was hired 4 months out of college as a technical writer. I had a great run there but eventually moved on to 3 other companies because of new contracts. I landed where I am now because of a great pay hike.

I am never utilized and am now rusty.

Of course, now we have major management changes and everyone is basically interviewing for their jobs. Think, the Bobs, from Office Space.

This change pushed me to finally start this blog. I have needed a creative outlet ever since I left college. I need my passion back. I need the inspiration that got me here.

Why do so many professionals get put in a corner far from where they want to be? Is the motivation gone or have they been taught to settle? Or is money the great wizard?

I was always told you can be whatever you want. Is security holding me back?

That was a little heavy :0/ But now I feel better and can get back to the funny part of life. –thanks

A story while you wait.

Setup of the website is coming along great! While I finish the site here is a funny blurb I have taken from an email I sent my friend.

Kitty is Tons of Fun

“…[V]ery funny story about your cat! I haven’t washed mine in years because she has spent the last few years in my mom’s yard LOL. So now she is twice as wild and B-A-D. The Last time I took her to the vet she escaped her cage, ran close to the road around the parking lot like a maniac, then jumped inside a car engine. 90 year old grandma volunteer had to pry her out. Kitty is tons of fun.”

This is kitty after running a muck. She was super mad, hehe. Don’t tell her I posted the pic.

Don't escape your cage and maybe you won't be mad...
