So I read this chicks blog and she recently had an article published on Etsy's Storque. I saw this picture and thought of you immediately. We'll have to plan a trip one year. I can see us dressed, drunk, and soaking up the energy like wide-eyed little girls!

The Secret of Life Bees
I think that we should both get a pair! They're just too cute...I was too lazy to post the link. You can find it on my faves though. The shopowner is one of my favorite designers. Her blog is pretty sweet too...all about Etsy stuff.

Sexism & Ethics Class 1
You would have definately been in your prime today if you would have had the opportunity to come along with me to a required Ethics class at our Agency Field Office today. The class is supposed to be a refresher course on ethics as they pertain to the agency. Unfortunately, the first 2 hours were spent discussing happiness and the next hour discussing the instructors mission trip to Nicaragua. He tied the two together by expressing every known obvious reason American's aren't 'Happy' and then how people in Nicaragua were assumed to be unhappy (because of their church's ignorance, of course) and when they... hold on, I just have to quote him "When we gringo's showed up to help them, they were all confused like 'What do you mean help? We are all happy! Take our picture gringo!" I spent most of my time trying NOT to roll my eyes in too obvious of a way. Well anyway, he tied them together because the pictures of the destitute and poverty stricken locals were obviously so very happy despite their ails, that they didn't even know they had. I wanted to stand up and scream "Well of course they didn't know they had 'ails'! You can't miss what you don't know about!
Anyway, the last 45 minutes of the damn class was about ethics. And you know what? He tied the first 3 hours into the last 45 minutes of the class by mentioning 5 P's of Ethics (that I don't remember.) But I do remember number 2 because he mentioned in two sentences "Remember how we talked about happiness earlier? This is where it all ties in." Ugh. I was annoyed.
Mostly because I love to stay on point. Especially when I am REQUIRED to miss FOUR hours of my busy day at work to attend.
Back to the sexist part... so, he keeps making all of these generalities like, "Yeah men, we know what women are like!" and "We all know what women like to spend the most money on... shoes, clothes, and handbags!" and something vague but along the lines of "Women lie about how much they spend."
What pissed me off the most, was when he was talking about drinking REAL beer in England (and believe it or not, I have NO IDEA why he was talking about drinking beer in England) and he said because what American's consider beer isn't real beer. I scoffed, of course. You know my husband and I's interest in beer. Anyway, he said it again and I just kind of laughed out loud and said, "American's do have good beer!" Only a few people laughed, but it was an awkward laugh and he just looked at me all condescending like and said, "No, Budweiser is not real beer. Hahahah" Ooooh, boy was I mad. I started to say "I agree, but there are more American beers than just Budweiser," but he just raised his voice and began talking over me. So guess what I hate most, when I CAN'T FUCKING FINISH MY DAMN SENTENCE. But I digress, I didn't want to make an idiot alcoholic in front of 20 other people. But isnt' that something else? 1. To assume that I drink Budweiser. 2. To assume that all American's think Budweiser is good beer. and 3. To assume that he knows SO MUCH about beer that he can make the statement ALL are bad.
Not to mention, his constant mentionings that he could 'talk about beer' becuase he was 'Presbyterian' and they can do stuff like that. What a joke.
This probably doesn't make much sense to you, and it would have been easier to just tell you, but I haven't written you in a long time. I hope that it's not too bad, I am not going to proof read it before I publish it. I'm tired, and annoyed.
Love ya! Definately missed you!

So, my first attempt at ANYTHING photoshop. I'm certainly not going to use it, and I"m sure you could list everything that's wrong with it (don't bother) but I have to say I am quite proud of it. But dammit all if the color didn't f* up somewhere along the way from the desktop to the Blogger site...
