Yesterday afternoon I received a phone call from Anthony who informed me that he is probably going to go to the other store, the one that is offering more an hour, plus a full 40 hour week, plus feature commissions.

So Thor is trying to keep Anthony, so he is doing everything that he can to keep him employed in this company. Which could pretty much affect MY hours. Anthony has already informed me that he would NOT allow that to happen - but I am still nervous.

It sucks because I gave them such advance notice of my leaving so as to not screw them, but i'm the one who may end up getting screwed in the long run. It's like a catch 22. They have to keep the people who work here happy. So the people that are already intending on leaving might as well be the ones who get the short end of the stick.

In other news....

I uploaded a ridiculous amount of videos to my youtube account. all kinds of ridiculousness.

Also - July 13th is my new hero. Harry Potter! Which reminds me. there is a toad like woman who walks around the mall sometimes. She has some kind of neck condition that makes her whole head look like a giant toad or Jabba the Hut kind of creature. And once she wore a pink bow in her hair and I swore that she was dressing up as Professor Umbridge.
I would have voted for this woman to be the dolores umbridge over that imelda woman. for serious.

For some reason i feel as though somebody somewhere is about to yell at me........


hehe...


Steven wants one too. maybe i should charge him....

I just spent about 2 hours on my friend's Myspace account friending every person I could find from the UK. She is a musician and requested that I, her northeast marketing director, do so. Considering how much I can't stand Myspace, it was very benevolant of me.

I just ordered a rubber tree plant for my mother for sunday. I don't really have much of an explanation why I would order such a thing, but confusing her makes me very happy. And i'm sure she will make some type of comment about trying to grow rubbers... my mom sure is kooky.

I also ordered a set of 6 prestretched canvasas to create jess's birthday present.

The paintings in the background will be the inspiration for it - as seen on HGTV.


I like the idea of that and Jess has been asking for a Felly Original for a while. Of course her birthday was May1 - so i better get a move on.

Tonight I'm making a Tshirt for Erin for her birthday. it will read simply

"I went to the veal house and all I got was this tasty baby"

wrong... very very wrong...

One of my employees just called me to let me know that if i wanted some extra hours that I could come in early and he would get out early... Nice to know, Anthony... I'll keep that in mind... thanks much. no.

I'm not allowed to wake Lauren up until Noon. She has been working crazy hours for the past two weeks and finally has a morning wherein she can sleep in. So... noon. I have another half an hour to dick around on Wazina's laptop while she gets ready to head into work.

I'm thinking about spending a little bit ripping up that horrid bush in the front yard. Actually there are four bushes there, surrounding a large boulder. And of course, it is all boxed in by very contemporary wood edgers. (sarcasm) I imagine that the roots run very deep as well.... this should be interesting... By the time I am done, I would not be suprised if we end up with a shovel across the yard and me having a hissy fit.

Wow that just reminded me of the time i got stuck in the driveway here and looked up to see all of my housemates watching me try to shovel my way INTO the driveway. and then the cheap ass shovel broke and I proceeded to throw it across the yard. We found it when the snow melted.

I think I just realized that I'm a total impatient, hot tempered asshole. Which is funny b ecause when shit goes down at work I'm the last person to lose it.

anyway... I'm going to go clean the kitty box.

I've noticed that, more often now, I have been absorbing as much about the Hudson Valley and the Catskills as I can. I'm savoring the sites and the sounds. Soon I'll be leaving all this behind, and it makes me sad....

Lake Minnewaska


Katerskille falls... (i don't even know if i spelled that correctly)


There are Waterfalls everywhere I go



I'll miss looking out over these beautiful mountains....



and seeing her with this beautiful backdrop up at the Rock Garden..



I guess I'm just being overly romantic of this place... its not like i don't stop at least once a day and think to myself "I can't wait to get out of here!"
