Boring Stuff About My Life

[JTB11 1,079]

Chocolate is WAY too exciting for this thread.

ps: I will post pictures of the chocolate too ! ha !

I bet i killed this thread with my chocolate posts and to make it worse.....pomelos are awesome.

hmm trying to attach pics....wonder if this works

it did not..uh

Ok this should work....

1.) the parrot

2.) my muffins (blueberry)

3.) view from my window

Still better than what I could draw. I was born lacking the art and crafts gene. I just get so painfully bored and frustrated doing them and have no pride of accomplishment. I used to frustrate my mother about this because she'd buy out Hobby Lobby if she had the means. Now I frustrate my daughter who is the same way as my mother. Yay, two generations of arts and crafts resentment.

The worst part was when I had a job where they fully expected that because I had a ####### I would automatically be good at posterbording and shape cutting and drawing and artsy fartsy painting. I had to ruin that for them. I tried, but was easily the poorest work I ever produced at the job. Wanted to slit my wrists every second of that project.

well, to be honest ...that drawing is from 6th grade and only somewhat worked out because I was sick as a dog and apparently could only draw then (and not too well). I posted it mainly because it is the only thing I got hehe.

Also, knitting is the most horrible thing in the world...tried to make a scarf gave up 2 rows in and cried because I sucked so bad. Let's also add gardening - mom loves it, sis loves it..they are both like oversized moles in there....I would need a gardener to have a garden.

So I know what you mean

ps: music is a different story though.....so if anyone is reading ...fave bands ?

phew, i was worried/sweating. Yes, I need

Welcome lol.

Theres a sign when you enter NYC, "welcome to NY, now go home"

Thanks. I know that I should be more excited...maybe when I get my card in the mail.

On another note, I need to start looking for work. I have been collecting unemployment from Canada since December and am getting bored. I have never ever collected UIE before and have been working since I was 14, had a very stressful job in TO and worked 70 hrs+ a week....was so burnt out when I got here and needed some major down time...moved at the beginning of June, closed on our house on the 19th of June, married June 22nd and started demo/construction on our house June 23rd...just finishing now.

I really struggled with whether I should collect Unemployment Insurance but then I told myself "Why not?" I paid into all of those years so now just deciding what I should do go back to school and work part time or work full time..hmmm decisions.

Got to love a country that allows you to collect Unemployment Insurance while you are residing in another

I can handle some small scale gardening. Last year I grew ornamental pumpkins, broccoli, cabbage, pole beans, and sunflowers. They mostly came out fine. I lost one cabbage plant to cabbage maggots, but I was able to save the rest. I did try tomatoes and peppers, but I only got one abortion of a tomato, one Thai pepper, and one small green pepper. My husband took a pic of the Thai pepper and posted it to FB for lulz.
