HAPPY BLOGOVERSARY! (Yesterday)

I'm getting so behind in life that I can't even keep up with my own Blogoversary! But yesterday was my 9th! Can you believe I've been on Blogger for NINE YEARS? And yet I still have accomplished NOTHING but tons of ranting, a bit of stitching, some self-discovery, but probably more self-destruction (but by no one's hand's but my own), and a lot of trips to various places (but mainly the Gulf Coast and Disney and it's now been FOUR years since I've been on Disney property...even that seems hard to believe). More than anything though, I've "met" some amazing, wonderful, caring, and yes, I'm going to say it, friends , that I cherish more than I do the people I interact with every single day! You guys understand me, support me, and, best of all, "get" me! I can never thank you enough! I haven't been a good blog friend myself, especially in the past couple of years since my trip to the funny farm and all my work issues, b...

Times they are a'changin'

Question is...for the good or bad? I took Thursday and Friday off because I figured Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was going to kill me. Ironically, not only did it not kill me, but made me extraordinarily happy! I wasn't expecting that! So like Once Upon A Time, I now have a show that I can continue to watch for years to come (I would say over and over again, but I've already watched Shield enough times to make that statement null and void, so no need to go there, but at least I can continue on). But rather unexpectedly for both me and my bosses (although it has been discussed ad nauseam for almost a year), a random inquiry of one of our current medical interns came up with a possible I.T. intern for me. I'm personally not a fan of our interns, but I'm kind of desperate, so I figured, "why not?". Everything happened very quickly. They brought him in for an interview and I had to explain everything I'm behind on, what all I do, what all that's ahead,...

Updates of soul-crushing nothingness

No stitching to report...yeah, I suck. I have bought some charts, two from Witchykitt's (which I kind of begged her for, anything Shield or Once, so I was grateful for what I got): And two from someone new (at least for me), Thread Geeks : The ones from Thread Geeks I found by accident when I was just Googling Once patterns (which I do from time to time, trying to find anything I can). I did find a website that had a Once graphgan pattern. I can't crochet at all, but graphgans are fairly similar to cross stitching and I bet I could make it on the plastic stuff and still come out with something. There is a lady at work that does crochet, so maybe I could get her to do the actual crocheted accents. I downloaded the entire pattern (since it was free), but I'm not sure if (or when), I'll ever do anything with it. I'm on the word count kick again. I decided to make a word list first of Once, sorting it alphabetically to edit out duplicates, then I think I...
