My letter to the Universe

This past holiday season we wrote letters to the universe, as you now well know thanks to the title of this here blog entry. Anyways, this is where you thank the universe for everything you have and set goals for the upcoming year. This isn't some crappy New Years Resolution that you fail in the first week. This is a promise to be a better person in many ways, to aim high for yourself and to wish good on others.

Three days into this New Year and my #1 has already come true.

1. i want my cats to get along. √

Baby steps.

Bee's and Botox

Sorry it's been a while since my last post. We have been super busy at the shop filming. Yes, we too have jumped into the ever glamorous world of reality tv. Whether or not we make it onto your tv screen has yet to be seen in this early stage but we are sure having a fun time filming it. Tomorrow we wrap and finally get to rest. Monday it's back to work as usual and I will post more about the whole experience, pictures included.


Off the topic side shoutout to my followers in Russia. Spasiba!

3 Out of 5 People Have Face Tattoos..

In recent months I've started this game I like to call, "Skewed World Ratio". Either at home or at the shop, I'm surrounded by what I consider 'normal' people. So at any random moment I can give you a totally accurate world ratio, right? Like the other night, there were 6 of us outside. Based on the 6 of us I can tell you that 100% of the world has tattoos on their knuckles. Also of every 5 people, they collectively have 13 face piercings. Hell, if you just take 2 of those 5, they have 9.

This game is always good for a laugh. What type of Skewed World Ratio do you and your friends represent? List some below.

Shop Vacation Day #3

HOORAY FOR VACATION!!!!

Day 3

(yesterday didn't count)

I woke up all bright and shiny, look at me, no make up. Look at that kitty, no clothes.

I ran to office depot for stuff and things, then off to the shop for more vacation.

Today I finished that demotivational poster I've been working on for weeks. 

Here it is:

great candid shot by Austin, it had to be made into something.

THEN what did I do, rolled around on my stool for a little bit, repositioned some lights, dusted, went to the bathroom, measured the front window and sat outside and stared at the sun again for an hour.

Day off tomorrow!!

Every minute I'm not driving to and from the airport, my ass will be in bed watching cartoons.

(for those of you who don't realize, I've gone crazy and the only way to lessen the stress in my life is for me to think I'm on vacation while I'm working)

Shop Vacation Day #2 FAIL

HOORAY FOR VACATION!!!

DAY #2 FAIL

I couldn't expect 2 days in a row to be easy, had to go driving all over Hollywood looking for Nick who had stalled SOMEWHERE. Turns out he was at a gas station and not dying on the side of the road. All is well.

I DID however, see this pigeon today and he made me happy.

more tomorrow.

Shop Vacation Day #1

HOORAY FOR VACATION!!!!

Day 1

Hey Hey everyone!! Wish you were here! Today has been amazing, the sun was out, I saw some birds, did some arts and crafts and relaxed out in the sun. The above picture was taken when I was doing absolutely nothing, AND LOVING IT!

Later I sat on the floor and painted miniatures. There is nothing more relaxing than painting motorcycle tanks, look at my fun little accomplishment, I'm sure the Nash guys will be proud. Boy oh boy that was fun.

it's a mini version of Austin's bike now

THEN I went back outside and stared at the sun for like an hour. Good times. 

What am I going to do tomorrow? Man I don't know, probably lay out and get a tan, play some darts, enjoy some local cuisine. Wish you were here!!!!!!

ME

I may lead on that I have everything figured out, but I'll be the first to admit that I don't. But that doesn't keep me from trying to get to the bottom of everything I can't explain. How else do you learn. If something effects me, all the more reason for me to have a basic understanding so I know how to deal with it. 

The past 12 months have been a major testament to my ability to adjust to my ever changing surroundings, situations, company and the ever present "other peoples problems". To say that I'm stressed, is an understatement. I try to be everything to everyone, try to make everyone happy, I try to always have a smile on my face and I work so damn hard to be there for everyone. 

I was just thinking of all the change thats happened in my life these past 12 months and the sole fact that I have not murdered anyone yet, is amazing.

Here's how I add up! I should probably be dead. 

Go ahead and take this test:  Stress Test 

After taking this test, I really need to reevaluate how I deal with life. You all can fend without me for a while, I need a vacation. Since I have to be at the shop, I will mentally act as if I'm on vacation. Maybe I'll go pick up some drink umbrellas and flipflops.

Ok vacation.
