Rude Vendors

Why am I the weirdo?!?

This lady just walked and started leaning on the wall. She asked me for my name without introducing herself first. I HATE THAT!! If you are vendor and want my business, you will at least have the courtesy to introduce yourself before demanding information about me. I gave her my name and then asked for her's. She gave me a card and asked about "M". I told her that she no longer works here and then she asked if I was familiar with their company. As I've made multiple orders from them for the past 5 months, I felt insulted that they didn't remember me. "M" has been gone a year and the girl after her 5 months.

She then started leaning into the window AND MY PERSONAL SPACE. I scooted my chair back and gave her a quizzical look. I don't understand why people think they have to lean into my window. There is a reason I open it up just enough to be polite without giving them the availability to squeeze into the room with me.

Why do they always act like I'm the freak 'cause I react the way I do to things like this? I've never been one to invade a person's personal space or treat a customer like they work for me.

(The drawing is my interpretation of the lady against my window. Told you I didn't have much of a talent in drawing. I caught the spelling mistake after I had already scanned this. I do know how to spell "mouse.")

My Guiness Record

Ok, so I am not very talented. I'm not a great singer, artist, actress, crafter, photographer or writer. I'm a Jane-of-All-Trades but a master of none. My love of art (in all its forms) comes with the desire to be hands on. I'm inspired to participate and study but there will never be an event showcasing my work.

But don't feel too bad for me. There is a small flicker of hope that has appeared for me. I have a very unique arm hair (the top of my arm, near the shoulder) growing out of a tattoo that is not only tinted blue but also grows out longer than the rest. It is nearly 2 inches long.

I got the "wild hare" to submit my physical annomily to the Guiness Book of World Records. There isn't a section for this yet, so there is a good chance that I might get in. I've filled out the application and will hear something in the next 4 to 6 weeks. Till then, I'm carefull not to scratch the area and thus accidently removing the hair.

After I get my recogniztion, I plan on selling my hair on Ebay. Portions of the funds raised will go to dog club I volunteer for as we're in need of some serious dough. I'm hoping that I'll be able to raise some serious cash with any publicity I get with this.

If it just pans out, no problem. It will just be another thing I tried out and didn't succeed at. It makes for an interesting story, though.

Back again.

Ok, so today is going to be a very, very slow day (I hope). That means I have time to update this blog and add some stuff to it that I've been putting off.

I'll get to work on adding my interesting stories and random thoughts soon enough.

Tasty

I've always wondered what the cast of New Moon would taste like.

I wonder if they asked them "If you were a candy filling, what would you be?"

Coolest Shoes EVER!

I've been trying to score a pair on eBay but with no luck. I love going barefoot, so these shoes would be perfect for me.

My Calendar

Click on the link below for a preview. I'm the second one, wearing a black top and giving my teenie-tiny smile.

A fundraising activity for the TLA LIBRARY DISASTER RELIEF FUND, this calendar showcases the charms and often concealed art of 21 women of the Texas library community. As members of the Texas Library Association, these women volunteered to reveal their ink and share some of their stories for the well-being of our state's libraries.

Who's in it? The Tattooed Ladies represent both urban and rural libraries; public, school, academic, and special libraries; and the state's geography from El Paso to the Gulf Coast and from North Texas to the Rio Grande Valley. You'll meet seasoned professionals and passionate lay advocates, retired librarians and library school students. Libraries thrive on and promote diversity and freedom of expression. The Tattooed Ladies of TLA calendar is a testament to both.

So forget those predictable calendars with cute puppies and nature photographs. Your purchase helps secure the future of Texas libraries and allows you to spend 18 months getting better acquainted with these fascinating and dedicated women of Texas libraries.

The 40 page calendar, priced at $20, is printed in full color on glossy stock (pages are 8.5 high by 11 wide) and will prove a prized office accessory or coveted gift.

Current Read - The Memory Keeper's Daughter

Right now I'm reading "The Memory Keeper's Daughter" by Kim Edward. It is what I decided on when I had trouble finding my copy of "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger.

The storyline is good but the wording is very tedious. I find myself skipping paragraphs sometimes. I don't usually have trouble enjoying a book but this one is giving me some trouble.

Here is the website's address if anyone is interested in checking it out. I didn't know that they made a tv movie about the book but I don't think I'm going to look for it.

Tests

Ok...they seemed to work. I have it set up that they go to drafts first, just incase I need to make changes before they are released.

Fishies

I added fishies to the bottom of my blog. Click and you will drop food down to them. That reminds me...time to feed Peanut Butter Krackers (my beta).

Welcome!

Welcome, Kora and Beth. I added your blogs as well as the Grass is Greener on the "Sites" part of my blog. Please let me know if you want me to remove them.

I hope I don't bore you guys too much. LOL

First Post

This is my first attempt at a blog. As I get more time and better acquainted with how this stuff works, I plan on inputting stories that are hot off the press and those that have had time to cool down.

For now, this is all you're getting.
