not very lady like

so I was starting my laundry, and as any self respecting lady would do, I took the jeans I was wearing off to throw in the wash....and low and behold what was inside??



a lady bug...just chillin inside my pant leg...random.

oops!

Well I have been pretty busy lately! I can't seem to keep up this whole blogging thing...I used to be so good at it! My favorite blogger, The Pioneer Woman, inspired me yesterday to continue this thing. So here I go!

I've been working now since April 5th (I remember because it was my mom's birthday...finally getting a job was an awesome present for her!). I started as a temp, but after 4 months..they finally made me an official employee (with insurance and everything!). I work in provider credentialing. Not exactly what I envisioned while I was in college studying interior design, but let's face it...in this day and age I'm lucky to be employed at all, and I've come to the conclusion that you can't always rely on your plans...life takes you wherever it wants! And who knows where this will take me?! I will always have a passion for interior design...I love redesigning my living space...but I've never been sure that the whole networking and schmoozing thing is for me. I consider myself very genuine and honest, and half the business of gaining clients is pumping them full of flattery and BS...that is not for me! So for now I work, I try hard, and I have faith that everything shall fall into place in due time :)

Robert is still working for the Richardson Police Department, and I still love him dearly! hehe
We've been planning on moving in together for awhile...but unemployment has delayed those plans. Now I feel like I should pay off the credit card I racked up whilst jobless. And then it will be the holidays...sooo my plans may be delayed more...but this is yet another part of life I just keep having faith in...and when it's supposed to happen, it will.

Baby Karina that I was nannying before getting a job will be one year old in a few days. She was so tiny at two months old when I started baby sitting. I miss her everyday! I visited her two months ago. I was terrified she wouldn't remember be...when I got there she was asleep on the floor. When she woke up she sat up, grabbed her pacifier, took one look at me and crawled over to me and curled up in my lap and quickly fell back asleep. I was so amazed at how mature her movements were and so touched that she still felt so comfortable with me I couldn't help but burst into tears! What a sweet girl I had the pleasure of spending 6 months with :) I can only hope she is happy and healthy and enjoying her new daily mommy. I'm sure no one will compare to me ;)

Today I've started making plans to transform an old headboard into something new and awesome...this is a first for me...so wish me luck...and i'll let you know how it goes!

Here's the before picture...


And here's a few that I aspire to!
