A LOT of work.

here are my doodles from work this week and a bit of last. enjoy.

Sorry this is a little late i know. I didn't post it right away because i was scared i'd offend. PSHhh..YEAH right!

These are two paintings i did that i don't know where to put yet in our home....or if i even WANT them in our home... sorry the scan is fuzzy.. they didn't fit in the scanner all that well.

I fought the law and the law won?

Okay... so many of you know that i have what is sometimes an "unruley temper." ...Now i'm not the type to throw fits or hit things but i do have a mouth on me when i feel like people are being stupid....Well... after reading Janae's blog the other day about stupid Provo parking and how we have even LESS of it now...i was PISSED. I drove home with anti-Utah tunnel vision and just wanted to get home and relax...Well... (and i don't usually do this, i promise) i drove angry... It mostly stemmed from thinking about utah and it's stupid people and then trying to merge on the highway but having the woman beside me (with her poofy utah hair and smiling SINGING face) being comPLETELY oblivious to everyone around her... i was so irritated by all the accumulative stupidity that i became the stupid one and ripped over two lanes haphazardly without signaling and sped passed the group of morons...well as i checked my rear view again after doing this... i saw a cop car......STUPID. I was so retarded...why did i do that? Well... if i was going to get a ticket i was going to go out strong and fight and tell him EXACTLY why i was speeding....so before he even gets the chance to turn on his lights i begin pulling to the right shoulder and as i pull into the slow lane he finally puts on his lights... I didn't care.. i was still pissed about utah and it's stupid laws and people and i was going to make sure this cop knew how stupid Utah was....He came up to my window and asked, "um... So why exactly were you driving so wrecklessly? That was really dangerous." and i looked at him with anger in my eyes and said, "Because i was mad at the moron woman beside me who was completely unaware of her surroundings. And because i hate utah and all the stupid people in it. " He responded with a slow and deliberate, "well, as far as i know the gates are open on all sides of the state. You don't have to stay here." I got even angry-er. "Actually, i DO have to stay here. My husband is still going to school here so i have no choice." "Well there are stupid drivers wherever you go. Have you been to California?" "Yes, actually i have... utah drivers are still stupider." "Well i'm watching all the people around you drive normal and you start to drive wrecklessly----" (my response) "AND YOU THINK I'M THE IDIOT DRIVER DON'T YOU." (he doesn't respond to that) "----and i'm worried about how dangerous the situation is. Can i see your information?" I hand it to him without a response and he takes it. Then he starts talking about how you can't drive angry...blah blah blah.. i already know this...blah blah blah. And i 'm not even looking at him right now because i don't care. I know he's going to give me a ticket and i know i deserve it but i don't care i'm angry and i want to be so leave me alone... i STILL HATE UTAH!!!!!....then he walks away to his car for a little while and comes back with my information and hands it back to me and says (you won't believe this)...."Hey... it's a beautiful day outside...it's Halloween (yes.. it was) and life is okay... Just take a few deep breaths (he makes the motion of doing this) and release all that anger... There's no reason to be mad.... I mean hey...One good thing about utah... a cop pulls you over for wreckless driving, something that can be cause for suspention of your license and all I'm giving you is a warning.." I was completely dumbfounded... WHAT? i couldn't believe that i just backtalked to this cop, gave him attitude and even rolled my eyes at him and he doesn't give me a ticket... he give me a warning and a bit of helpful therapy... Who knew? I was so astounded that i reached out my hand to shake his. I said, "Umm...thank you, i shouldn't drive angry and i know this...I was just irritated. I'm sorry. Thank you so much. " He continued to give me motivational advice and then sent me on my way and with that i drove home... driving safe and completely flabbergasted. I guess utah doesn't comPLETELY suck.... I guess we shouldn't think that all cops are ego centric, power hungry maniacs. .... Yes i knew this already but now i REALLY know this.

Continuing updates...

It's late and i 'm tired but i HAVE been working on my blog and even though i am not finished and this is NOT the final blog title i'm going to use.. i thought i'd post it to show my progress and let you all know that i haven't forgotten about you or this blog...good night and check saturday afternoon because i plan on having the title done by then. later. Here are some pictures Mica had on her camera for you to enjoy in the mean time...

the TURTLE COLORED BLOG

I'm designing a new blog header right now that will be more personalized than the last blog format i had. It will HOPEFULLY only take a few days... until then.. you'll have to endure the ugliness that is my current TURTLE colored blog. Sorry.... enjoy the turtliness

Halloween Hooblah

Here are some halloween sketches i did... i was listening to michael buble and trying to do zombie drawings for the art jumble blog so...yeah... here's what i did. Oh... there's also some ron and hermione wedding in there...oh... and did i mention *cough* buffy....(ignore the math... it was for a career test i took... supposedly i should work as a Graphic Designer...hmmm.)

Why I've always hated games...

...okay... i guess it's cuz i'm lazy and i feel like games are a waste of time... but when your time is filled with waiting for assignments from other people at work... i'll be happy to waste my time with a good old fashioned game of tag...blogger tag that is... so i'm supposed to post 6 items about myself (habits, traits, deep dark secrets, etc.) on my blog, then tag 6 more people to do the same. Here are my six....(damn... i thought i could hide these...)

1. I love High School Musical and Zac Efron. (yes i realize that he and IT are way too young for me but everyone likes SOMEONE or SOMETHING they are ashamed of...right? also... you'll better understand why when you reach number 5)
2. I hate shoes and socks. (i never wear them at work... my first ritual of the work day is to sit down at my desk, light my candle, get a drink of water and take off my shoes. the shoes remain off until lunchtime and then are again taken off after that...i think i annoy the company downstairs by my casual-ness...who cares... they aren't a real company anyway... no seriously... they sell a fake product...it's a bit scandalous.)
3. I frequently yell at my superiors and coworkers. (seriously... it's a wonder i still have a job..i know i know... i'm working on it... it's all in good fun (and anger))
4. I have a plethora of baby clothes.(By no fault or purchasing of my own i own approximately 30 baby outfits...or more because people with babies have decided that i need to stock up "just in case" and have generously donated their goods.)
5. I am slightly obsessed with "emo" people. (i can't quite put my finger on it....they are so annoyingly depressed and angry or think they are too cool to be your friend but i can't stop staring because it's so DANG irritating!!...enos has this problem too... if you don't know what an "emo"see pictures below..)
6. I hurt myself at least three times a day. (i don't always know my bodily limits and seem to always hit my elbow or knee or toe on things at least 3 times a day...my hands and toes are COVERED in scars from these events...stupid.)
7. Okay the people i am tagging are Jessica, Amy, Mother, Father, Tara and Sheriece.. remember... you are supposed to post 6 items about yourself (habits, traits, deep dark secrets, etc.) on your blog, then tag 6 more people to do the same. Good luck.

So i don't get yelled at...(jessica)

My boss decided that since we'd been working so hard on Pushing Daisies that he would give us the day off tomorrow. As a result, i am taking full advantage of this day off and leaving for California with Tara and the fam so i can take a break from this place known as "utah." Yes i realize i put it in quotes unnecessarily....eat THAT. So yes, i knew if i waited much longer to post i'd get a "yellin' at" via comment from my dear sister Jessica... so this is to refute that (i think that's the right word...refute? yes? a little help?) i'll be back on monday night and will post soon after to display my fruits of fun...(that sounds dirty...oh well). Until then...enjoy these smallish tidbits of drawing-ness. (these aren't meant to be beautiful....they are only doodles during work so save your criticism for the judge (?).

Dos Metros Down

My sister in law Tara asked me to design her blog title when (and if) i had time....so here's what i came up with...
