what a weekend - hi monday
first off here is a picture of a man that has nothing to do with my blog entry
okay so Friday i had this schmoozefest with my VP and CEO and some vendors and it was all really boring to me cause i don't care much about how much cars are worth or blah blah but i contributed to the conversation about how i loved german autos and how BMW has always been on the forefront of design and concepts. i have almost bought one 2 times and then i really am in love with Mini on every level. so that at least made me seem somewhat interesting to that crowd. then i talked about great marketing and started talking about skateboards and snowboards and i think i lost them. oh well. free dinner and lots of Stella Artois made the night worth it.
Saturday was eventful. i spent my morning helping out my new friend Jessica get some new music and then went and got my haircut. well more like a little trim to get rid of the bulk cause i am growing it out a little - and trying something new. then i hung out with Rhys for the afternoon. while we were headed to Anthopologie to look at books and pretty window displays something falls from underneath and semi and i run over it and end up with 3 flat tires. so i wobbled my way to the side of the road and called my sister to come pick up Rhys and my 3 flat tires and take me to the only place that i could find that had 3 of the right size tire for my car. $402 later i have 3 pretty new tires on my car. the best part is when the jack fell and the car fell with my hand between the fender and the tire. it hurts but not bad enough that i think it's broken. once i had that all taken care of i went and had dinner with Dana and hung out and helped her finish cleaning up the last bits of Melissa's mess that she left before moving to Portland. after i left there i was planning on going home but ended up taking my 2 sisters out for a few hours to drink and dance and get away from their signifigant others. it was good to spend time with them, but i prefer dive bars and the whole hip-hip dance scene just isn't for me so we only stayed for 30 minutes and i talked them into going to Flying Saucer where i introduced them to wheat beer and they thanked me for it.
Sunday i woke up and made about 200 paper beads until i ran out of paper. then i had lunch with my mom and step-dad and then went to the craft store and bought a ton of paper and felt squares. then i went and walked around Southlake Town Square and did some retailing for work and then decided to go have dinner at Cheesecake Factory and then see a movie. i saw Indiana Jones cause it was really the only thing playing at a convenient time and i was a huge Indy fan as a kid and i am sad to say Lucas and Spielberg together really disappointed me.
so yeah that was my weekend - no photography except for this one self-shot.
so here i am at Monday and it has been crazy - so those of you who read this thing or know me - know that we had our 3rd round of major layoffs last week. well my boss was in Scotland all last week so today is her first day back and all i say to her when i walk by her office is "what the fuck V." - i just keep walking and she is laughing at me for my drive by F-bomb. i sit in a bunch of "strategic planning meetings" and draw pictures. my new friend that i mentioned earlier drew me a turtle and so thinking about that i drew this.
the rest of today i have been concepting designs for my holiday gift cards and finalizing my paisley and owl designs for early fall stores.
so yeah.
