My Corn is Growing!!!

My corn is growing! On the 4th day I saw them coming up...all of them.

1 Corinthians 3:6, 7 - ...God kept making it grow!

Pics on a Sunday

I want to make that top with the black and white fabric. Do you think it's appropriate. My mother saw the fabric and immediately thought i got it for a skirt but I think I will still make the top but just buy some more for a skirt but I dont think I will wear them at the same time.

Everything Alright.

This week was good. No unusual happenings. Of course my coworkers were their usual unkind selves. One in particular is warming up to me. Never know if that maybe a trick, but I don't fall into those kinds so easily so I dont mind her friendliness.

I did not go fabric shopping this week. Last Saturday I got some blue suiting in a Fathers' Day Sale. I will be making a cute short sleeved pant suit. Well, my seamstress will be making it once she is done with the tonnes of graduation and wedding clothes she claims to be making.

I wish that I could take a week vacation to celebrate living another year. All I can do now is look forward to my long weekend in Margarita Island. When? A whole two and a half months from now!!

Today I went to the supermarket and washed. Nothing exciting. I bought some Angel hair pasta and wonder. Is it the same as ordinary pasta but just rolled in a ball and thinner? I will find out next week when I give it a try. I cant wait for those avocadoes to start riping. I LLOOOVE avocados.

Today I planted corn. I dug the earth watered it and stuck in the seeds. I cant wait to see them start to grow. Of course, i took photos and will continue to record the growth.

On being meek

One observer of the mobbing I am experiencing has contended that I am not meek. Well, I thought about it for a while and maybe in some areas I am not meek. In my workplace all I see is pretenders and people know which buttons to press to get the boss' favour. So I guess I have to join the pretenders for peace sake.

When I went back into my memory I can see myself as not being meek when my wannabe boss (my work peer) tells me to do something which does not make sense and I respond with sarcasm. She then uses this negative attitude I have displayed to her against me. Well, then this becomes an elaborate dance where I must learn the steps so as not to topple over. She, I know is only seeking my attention and would also like me to bury myself by reacting to her covered up evil. Its like the cat that teases some other pet and the reaction of the other animal is so adverse that he gets put out of the house, while the cat laughs and lovingly gazes at its master.

Wow, who knew work politics would get in my way. I try to ignore all crap and work. Now this!!!

Patience is a virtue

I am tired of trying to be nice and friendly with backstabbing two faced people. Yes, yes its good for peace in the office but does peace really exist when fat sloppy people are trying to exaggerate all your faults and you are busily trying to clean the mess up. I hate having to make an extra effort to seem the perfect worker just because some Lifetime movie protagonist is trying to get over her sullied childhood by getting at ME!!! I am fed up of the crap! aaaahahahahhah!!!

I am really jealous of people who work at home. They escape from the mental cases that invade the workplace.

Anyways, my mother will be teaching me to sew. I dont know when we will begin but I have chosen to start with a simple house dress. Is that a good choice. Any suggestions from all those gifted people in internet land. I happened upon Mimi's site. That woman has mad skills. I am so proud of her and I dont even know her.

ok, these prints are mainly granny inspired in my opinion. the real subject was the sign. the point is the workers are tired of people pulling out fabric, feeling it, putting it against their skin. they expect the store to remain neat so they dont have any work to do. At this store in particular, when i enter all but one of the assistants try to ignore me. they don't want to work. Perhaps if they loved helping people, got more salary, worked on commission or considered themselves professionals they would then feel happy to see people experiencing the store and not be dumb enough to put up stupid signs like these.

Part of the reason why I am addicted to fashion...Stacy and Clinton. Yep, I take photos of the TV screen esp. when I see an outfit I adore.

Toxic Environments

Why do people stay in toxic environments? Workplaces that stink, homes where there is no love. Are we really compelled to stay in these environments? Think of people who lose everything in natural disasters. Do they remain penniless and destitute forever? Think of Job. He demonstrated remarkable endurance. I think we can always start over if conditions are not too extreme.

I think life is too short to waste it on people who are determined to be stupid. Ignore toxic individuals, stand your ground and when nothing else can be done quit the negative environment and move on to something else. We all deserve the best!

All these weird rants are related to workplace bullying that I am currently experiencing. I know it will be over soon. No, the bully will not leave. She is a pretensive anchor in the organization and I was planning to leave anyway.

On to brighter things. I am looking at JCPenny, Target, Overstock.com and lots of other sites building my work wardrobe. My new inspiration is Adrienne. I will definitely learn to sew (again) and who knows this may lead to some new career path.
