I Love My Morning Glories

This is my FAVORITE picture of my morning glories, hands down!

I love the way they are basking in the morning sun.

In a large print I have of this in the "Gallery",

you can see a spiderweb.

I love the way the colors are so vibrant and joyous.

This picture is joyous!

This is one lonely purple shamrock leaf in my morning glories.

Sometime early on in the spring, I had this shamrock plant from my Grrrls Gramma

hanging in our kitchen.

Our cat Maynard, decided it would be a great idea

to jump ON the planter that was hanging.

Well, chaos ensued, and when we cleaned up the mess

I just threw out, what I thought was a dead, or dying plant.

I tossed it into my "pseudo compost heap".

Basically it is where plant waste goes during every season except Summer.

This one purple shamrock came back, and sprouted among the green.

It was really surprising, and neat to look at!

This is a cinder block edging treatment that My Grrrl did a few seasons back.

The first year we did Johnny Jump Ups in them.

The morning glories just go where in the heck they please.

That is how they wound up here.

They didn't get much bigger than this.

Honestly, I think it is because they knew that they would have nothing to grow up.

No way to look out upon the world.

This one, and the following 2, I like because of the contrast between blurry and clear.

 I wish that I knew how I did this,

where the flower is blurry, but the leaves are not.

Same here, but, alas, I don't know how I do it sometimes.

I just do!

I like all of the grabby vines in this picture.

I also like how one flower is open and awake to the world,

and the other is not!

I just like this picture because even ugly babies need love...

 I mean, the flower has seen better days. But the colors are

still so vibrant, trying to still being pretty...

Well, how am I supposed to fix something I don't even realize is wrong?

So, I had a "breakdown" moment this weekend. Some stuff that I didn't realize was festering, was festering. So, when I realized it was bugging me, I wasn't around my Grrrl to talk to her about it, so I wrote a note in my iPod. Then, when I got home, I didn't want to ruin our evening. I guess that I figured that I would talk to her when the time seemed right. Well, the time didn't seem right until a different, but somewhat related subject came up. So, instead of talking about it, I broke down, and got crazy ( not as bad as normal ) but it wasn't good.

I would like to add, in my defense, that, the delicate subject matter that was being "discussed" when I had my "moment" might have made my "incident"worse. I was embarrassed by my vulnerability at that moment...Not wanting to look stupid in that sort of moment. That, is another epiphany that I just had.

Another thing that happened tonight, when my Grrrl mentioned that she wasn't going to get around to doing something, I guess I sounded more bothered by it than even I realized I was. So, she texted me and said it would get done. I know that she has other things to do tonight, so I should understand, but this is something that had been left over from last night, basically. And, for a split second what went through my head was "Well, you didn't get to it today, and you re not going to get to it tonight, what have you been doing all day?" Fair or not, that is what I thought. I know she is probably doing stuff tonight, laundry, and I know that she did the kitchen laundry today, partially. Anyhow, I am glad that she is doing the kitchen, I dislike coming home to a dirty kitchen, and I am glad that she is taking care of this for me, and the family!

OK, well that is all, I just spent my first break blogging this, and I still didn't my coke! UGH!

Lazy Weekend... Here's Some Holly Hocks

So, it's been a lovely ( for the most part ) lazy weekend with my family. So, I didn't have any time to post. So, here is a short and sweet one!

 

I love my Holly Hocks!

This one looks like a proud face to me,

that is why I took this picture.

I liked how the light on this was.

The color at different times of day,

makes the flower look different.

I like this one,

it looks like the flower is looking off in the distance.

I think of a pretty girl in deep thought when I see this one!

Blurry Close Up!

The pretty girl deep in thought again...

SO BORED!!!

Oh man, I am so bored today at work, I don't think that it helps that I am SUPER TIRED! I am totally loosing this battle today!

 

If I didn't have ADD before, I totally have it now. I know that makes little to no sense, but it is true. I cant get my mind to stay on the task at hand!

 

I mean, I think that I have a million other things to think and worry about anyhow, but it doesn't help that this is so NOT stimulating to my mind, that I am making up NEW stuff to think and worry about!

 

OK, well just got a text from my mother in law telling me to look at my Grrrls email... Guess I better go figure out what that is all about!

Awesome!

Working today looking up claims, I came across someone that has the same name as my ex-husband. That is not the person that I was sending info out on, so I had to white out his name,due to HIPPA policy, of course...

 

It was very cathartic...

My Custom Converse

These were taken at the stream behind the cabin.

We were hiking in the stream and my shoes were wet.

I wanted to capture the fact that they are wet,

but,

I think that they just look neat here.

My Grrrl painted these for me when we first got together,

back in 2005.
Man, that was forever ago!

I can't believe that they are still in such good shape.

I'm glad they are, because they are totally unique.

No one has shoes like mine!

I took these pics to show that they were wet shoes,

but I think that they say so much more.

They look like something you would see in a gallery or something.

A "hip" gallery

(Man, I feel old writing that!)

I can look at these pictures,

and say,

 "I did that!"

I'm Mad As Hell...

I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore, has turned into "your stupid as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore" or you're mean as hell for no reason and I'm not going to take it anymore. Bottom line is, I'm not going to take it anymore.

There is a particular nurse I work with occasionally, THANK THE HEAVENS I don't work with her more often than I do…

Tonight, she is in full stride on her bitch horse. There were some labs ordered, I did my job, I checked them, I bagged them, I put the time and date on them, and delivered them to her. I AM NOT ALLOWED TO ORDER THINGS… This is very important, unless the test was already ordered and something went wrong with it. But, that doesn't include if the Dr. didn't order it for when YOU WANT TO DRAW IT. It is ordered for the time that it is ordered, and that is that.

She came to my desk looking through my trash pile asking who threw these tests away. I did. They are not good reqs. If the nurses knew these things (and when I say nurses, I mean her, she has the most lab complaints of anyone I have ever worked with) then there would be WAY less mislabels, etc. IF THERE IS A "Q" ON THE REQ, IT IS NO GOOD. How hard is that to learn!?

Anyhow, she was pissed that her tests were ordered for 0100, and not starting now, and 2200. I can only bring her what has been ordered. I told her so; I brought you everything that printed up. She said, "No, where are my 2200 tests" I told her, everything that was ordered I brought you. Again, she says no, where are my 2200s? Here is the thing, when it is ordered, unless it is ordered lab collect, it prints right here by me, less than 5 feet away from me. I KNOW IF IT PRINTS… So I do my job, which I did. She continues to argue with me, telling me that it would be helpful if I brought her everything… I DID YOU STOOPID COW. I even went over to her work station to try and show her what I was talking about, but of course she didn't come with me, she knew I was right. Well, I take that back, I am sure that she STILL thinks that I am wrong, even though she had to ask the Docs to order what she needed. Somehow, I am still wrong…

The point of all of this was that when she was being mean and snotty to me, I just threw it right back at her, with the exact same amount of ugliness. I am sure that she thinks that I was the one that was out of line and inappropriate, I don't even give a flying crap.

My baby said that I should tell her next time that she talks to me that way, that I won't be responding until she can speak to me properly. I am going to tell her I don't appreciate the way that she is talking to me, and then when she comes back at me with whatever she comes back at me with, then I will say to her "Cow (I am not using her real name to protect her privacy), I will take care of this (this being what ever she is tantrumimg about at that moment) when you speak to me more appropriately.
