Wings so sharp, they’ll cut you!

City Grown Willow

So I’m an absolute dork! But I am so stoked because for the first time ever, I was successful at winged eye liner! *Gasp* lol I watched this video Tarte posted to IG and watched how they did the wings and just mimicked what I saw and they look sharp! I’m seriously thrilled! Haha

Also I came to the conclusion that I don’t hate this job. It’s hard, it’s challenging, but I’ve been here 7 months now and I’m getting to see these clients change for the better and succeed and it feels good to be a part of that. Though, it doesn’t come without some heartbreak along the way too. But it’s awesome to see their success!

I am also embracing my hipster style, much to my hubby’s dismay…lol but he loves me anyway. P.S. I can’t wait for beanie weather to come and stay! I miss the cool hair and clouds and rain!!! Yesterday was blissful for me! But alas, the yellow demon is back in the sky today… 😭

I had a horrid migraine since last Friday’s ordeal with the dog, who by the way will live another day! Lol and it is finally gone and today I feel great…hoping not to curse myself by saying that!

Creative, family, love, mental shit, migraines, the walking dead, weird shit

Odds and Ends…

It’s been a hell of a couple days here…my sweet little bubby boy is very sick, he’s got it coming out both ends and won’t eat. I’m really worried but we went to the vet and they gave us meds for a bacterial upset in his GI, he should have had multiple types of bacteria and he only had 1…I love my little old man puppy…if you’re reading this please send him some positive vibes!

What else? Hmm, J finishes school this week…he walked in May, but he’ll officially be done after this week. YAY!!! So excited about that! He’s looking for a job in his new field…which is still technically the same field, just not as a driver anymore…he’ll be in logistics still. I’m so proud of him!!!

We are beginning to think more about adoption. In case I can’t get pregnant, we’re not done trying yet, but the options have to be explored.

We are thinking of possibly moving…so with the job search he’s looking in other places besides Salem, even besides Oregon. We want a fresh start. So we’ll see where things go…

I’m still working in Corvallis, I don’t hate the job, but I don’t love it the way I did FSA…loved what I did there I mean. But I hate the commute, it’s torture. But my boss and other coworkers are great, so that’s great too. And my boss is so great about when I have migraines and like Friday when I couldn’t go to work because of Autzen. It’s so wonderful to have understanding. Thursday actually marked 7 months I’ve been there and today marked 1 year since I left FSA.

Also I’ve been waiting a long time for Jane The Virgin’s final season, and it’s here on Netflix now I’m so excited! lol

I’m going to start painting and doing art again. I need the outlet. So stressed out lately between the failure to procreate and the not sleeping because I can’t take my medicine, and the depression and anxiety because I can’t take my bipolar stuff and the migraines…I’m so exhausted, but I need an outlet of some kind…

This summer needs to die a fast but PAINFUL death…I HATE summer with a passion. October can’t get here fast enough. ❤ For many reasons, the weather, my birthday month…and Negan! haha

Alright I think that’s it for now.

It’s been awhile…

I haven’t written since PJ! Shit, a lot has happened!

Recap! I started working at Service Master. I saw LUCERO in concert, I went to Seattle again, to visit Taylor and meet her new husband, while there I tried Spice cake which was maybe the yummiest thing I’ve ever had, and Korean BBQ and loved it! I got fired from Service Master of Salem, and yup they can all kiss my big white ass! I hope they see that. I got unemployment for a month and a half while I looked for a new job, and i found one working for the Drug Treatment Court in Corvallis as an office manager. I like it a lot, it’s far less stressful that any job I have ever had and that’s kinda a nice change! It’s a long commute though, so we bought a Jetta TDI at auction that wasn’t running and Jason fixed it, so I have a car that gets better mileage because it’s a diesel that can get up to 41 miles per gallon. And it’s a lot of fun to drive! I had  complete and total break down 2 weeks ago over my weight. I was fine and then all of a sudden I couldn’t control my emotions and I bawled, and since they we’ve been working on eating better and I have already lost 8.6 lbs. I am getting a new PJ tattoo in the next couple of weeks, and I also will be getting solar nails when I hit the 10 lbs mark, because Jason and I made a deal…lol I came down with the flu on Friday 3/1, and went to Urgent care immediately after work, and then the next day had one of the worst migraines of my life and Jason had to take me to the ER that night. OH And I shaved my head about 3 weeks ago.

  • Right after I shaved my head
  • at work a few days ago…
  • Last Night

The pin in the green Hoodie was the day after I shaved my head and then the other two are the last few days, you can see how much it has grown out…I actually really love it…but I am growing it back out. I just really needed to start from scratch because my hair was sooooooo damaged from all the shit I did to it in the last year. I am growing it out long though and I am not planning to color it myself anymore, I want to go get it done and have like an ombre or biolage or something done, so it looks like a real pretty combo of my natural color with some lighter honey blonde and maybe a little bit of platinum sorta highlights… and so it’s not damaged because I am not even kidding when I tell you my hair was fucked up and dry and brittle when I shaved my head. But I decided on the way home to do it, and I walked in and told my hubby and he said “You won’t do it, you always flip out when I tell you to do that” and he’s not wrong, but him saying that…turned it into a dare…so I had to do it. And I actually have a great shaped head for it, so I can rock it well. I have gotten lots of compliments and then it’s also ended up being a fun social experiment to see how strangers react…I went ot safeway the weekend after I did it, and the cashier who checked me ou, and older guy probably in his 60s, wouldn’t even look at me. They J and I went to dinner one night and a guy at the burger joint wouldn’t stop staring! I think it’s because people aren’t sure if this was a deliberate choice or if I’m sick with cancer and lost all my hair…lol

Oh yeah, and I started drinking coffee, my best friend taught me how to make it drinkable…lol I am obsessed, hence the new blog. My favorite is white coffee from Dutch Bros, but I make light roast at home. I love flavoring with vanilla and caramel creamer. I’m an addict!

I guess that’s about it for now, we got shit to get done today, and I’m hungry I haven’t eaten anything…and I am frozen so I’m gonna go take a HOT shower.
