Long shot and Random

Its been over a year i think since Ive posted a blog. I haven't been in the right place to do a blog and I figure that right or wrong I need to get back on the wagon.As of December 2010 just before the year was over I got back on the hook,lol yes pun was intended.I hadnt done anything fiber art wise in almost a year I took 3 months to read a friends book,I was hospitalized twice in 2010 had a blood transfusion and am now doing way better now.Very thankful to be doing better too.However sometimes when you think your doing well and things are looking up thats when you should be holding your umbrella because it will pour down on ya,things dont always go up somethimes they must go down.thats life ,idk.I cant really publicly speak about what recntly happend its just way to hurtful and personal and this is the only place I will mention it bc I have only two followers my husband and my friend dave.So I dont have to worry about being questioned to death.With that said I have made 3 Owl hats ,! hat with Heart ear flaps,finally sewed together the granny squares Ive had for over two years now,I made a cup cake scarf,and finished a knitted scarf that was on needles for at least a year.I made a pair of beaded crochet earrings and this morning made 6 and 1/2 lil shamrocks for possible earrings.I'm also making a shrug for my mom for her birthday.It's been a great joy to make and create items again for people I love.

Your so vain...you probly think this blog is about you...

Zoids & Richies....

Does anyone remember the movie 'Pretty in Pink',I know I do ,or at least I thought I did.Apparently this movie isn't what I remembered it to be.You know how that is when I was young I hated broccoli now I love it.Well my friend Dave lent me the movie so our family could view it my 13 yr old daughter had never seen it .She watched 'The Breakfast Club' with us and the jury is still out on how she felt about that movie.When Pretty in Pink came on she couldn't hang she was tired and went to bed.
After viewing the special features on the disk and watching the movie ,I couldn't help remember that I think I really only liked the movie for Duckie .He was the man ,I mean come on Andrew McCarthy? seriously?People Molly Ringwald is the reson this ducky thing didnt work,ya know.The behind scenes tell's it all she just wasnt into him and had it been Rodney Downy Jr to play Duckie she couldve seen her and Duckie getting together,but since the moive had been written for her she apparently threw her weight around so to speak.The studios had wanted someone else like Jennifer Beals to play her part and as Molly states she just couldnt belive that,the nerve.This chic is still living off this flim,I cant stand her ,I think Im gonna puke if I have to watch it again to soon.
This moive is based loosely on Zoids and Richies,shes poor and and so cool and hes rich and might as well be a card board poster,thats about all the emotion he musters in the moive a stiff borad.Really shes a wanna be Zoid cause she has a car and lives in a simi nice home and has horrible taste in clothes and men apparently,Her words in the speacial feature was she told the producers yeah Andrew McCarthy is dreamy ,I would fall in love with him.Its a good thing she doesnt do much in flim anymore I dont know how'd they fit her head into the frame.I could go on about what I love or hate about this flim it is worth owning ,but only to view every once in a GREAT while,ya know.
Im putting this to a poll Duckie or Blaine(lame)?Post em people I demand to know where you stand... htrdbunny xoxo

211

February 18, 2009 - Wednesday

Current mood: discontent I received a call today which reminded me,back in June when my husband and I were almost killed in an accident by a drunk driver.We feel upon some hard times.When I say hard times I guess I might as well be saying I still am living hard times or through them ,but I mean really hard times without a car ,injured ,ya know scared, traumatized and at that point by the time I got to thinking about my utilities and stopped licking my wounds,and worrying about my car and what we were gonna do.Oh yeah utilities,bills ,responsibilities oh shit!So then ya know I turned to the utilities company's trying to make payment arrangements and negotiate with people only to find myself at the point where no one could help us .Finally when speaking to a rep at one of the utility company's I get turned onto this # 211 help line number.This is during a time that I'm waiting on a job,I finally get the job,then its like ok we got this much money for gas to make it through till my husbands payday I'll have to wait 3 weeks for my first paycheck and we dont have any food in the house.I have this 211# and I'm like what's this place gonna do for me ,we dont use the system we both work ,no one has helped us before why this be different now,but they did help we were able to get food and assistance with one of our utility bills.Today I get a call from this rep wanting to do a survey about my experience in 2008 with using the 211#,and at the end she asked if I would mind them qouting me.I at first was like NO! in my head then I thought hey why not they did help us it is a great service they even followed up on us about a week later after we called.I have infact reffered a few people at work to this # when I was told about a hard time they were going through and thought it would be benificial.Now I know some of my friends may read this and get upset at us for not having asked them for help when it was needed,we love you guys and you were there for us so please dont be upset with us.Which brings me to why I decided to blog today,I m stressed and I may not have a job after today or by sunday ,so when I got this call it reminded me of the time I was in need and without work now with my job dangling by a thread it just weirded me out.I work in a call center helping people troubleshoot with their sat tv,its not a glamorous job by any means,but its a job.My time on the phone is clocked each time by how long I help a customer , when the call is done how long I take to make a note on the account ,my attendance and adhearing to my schedule are a majority to what makes my over all handle time which is a # you have to be at goal with or you loose your job after a small period of time.I have a great boss an awesome schedule, but im still struggling to shed about 30 sec give or take off my handle time, my boss is in school and has been out the past few days which is a savings grace for me because until we have our weekily coaching on how im doing I still have a job.I started out with 30 something people in my class one of the bigger class' they had at the timeI had a great instructor,by the time we went to the floor during this limbo time they call transition the class was about half the original size for many different reasons,once we hit the floor we were put into different pods on sep teams within those pods and by that time two people from class were still there with me.The last time I checked 4 people including myself still work there that I went thru the begning with,only one of them I care for that monica .My current team is made up of different people some new some old ,some of which I have become very close to and hate the idea of not getting to see on a regular basis ,sounds stupid hunh,?Im 32 yrs old and I feel like Im in high school and were are possibly moving.Not only do I need my job I want my job which fucking sucks cause that;s not enough being a good empolyee isnt enough 30 sec will make or break me.My husband is worried but supports me ,always has,thank you for that honey,if Im fired there two other place's Ill imediatly go to but that not the point .The 211 made me realize I may have climed up on the ladder, but I may have to climb back down again soon.
