Because I Haven't Been Around To Tell You.....

I'm really trying to get pictures up for you guys, but I don't seem to have the proper lighting to get good pictures of the pieces.  I need to go get some better lighting tomorrow when I get paid.  I promise they're coming though...

What else has been going on?  Well lots I guess, work is keeping me busy doing things that have nothing to do with my job title.  They're not great things, stuffing Thanksgiving cards, tearing apart old computers, designing fliers for our customers, bullshit like that.  It helps break up the monotony of my "real" job, so I'm down for whatever.

Those of you who have seen my Facebook posts lately are very aware that I have something personal going on right now, but I don't really want to talk about it.  Let's just say it's been a major setback in what I would have considered an otherwise good last month or so.  Oh well, we all get what we deserve in the end, ya know?  The final result of all of it boiled down to, people that I thought were my friends apparently aren't.  Tara and I haven't talked in weeks (for what reason, I have no clue she's just been an incredible bitch since the Halloween party) and when she found out about my weekend from Nicole, who only knew because it involved my sister (who lives with her) picking me up at the police station at 5am, she blabbed to all of our coworkers what was, I'm sure, an incorrect story.  Wow, that was the longest run-on sentence in history......

Anyway, I've spent the last couple of days doing damage control at work and trying to win the war against her and her new leader, who is quite possibly one of the shadiest bitches I've ever met.   I've honestly never seen Tara as such a weak fucking person.  I guess it just goes to show that even someone you've known for 15+ years will turn their back on you for a man who has brainwashed them.  Nicole is no better.  She's a fucking follower to the max.  It's ridiculous.  Her and Tara have banded against me.  At this point, I really don't care.  I'm over all of it.  If they think that them not being friends with me is going to hurt me, they need to rethink that.  Am I sad?  Well yeah, they're supposed to be my closest friends.  I've truly learned who my real friends are over the last couple of weeks and consider myself lucky to have people like them in my life.  Tara and Nicole are as toxic to me as I was them and it's probably for the best these friendships have gone on hiatus.  I've also had to get rid of a bunch of other people on Facebook this week because once I blocked a couple of people, everyone was scurrying around trying to see if I was writing anything about them.  Directly, I wasn't.  Broadly, I was, but you all know me and my writing style by now.  I can be as broad as a barn if I want to.

Enough with all that.  The good stuff that happened last week?  Well, I found out my friend Chip is coming in town over the Christmas holiday from Arkansas, so we're planning on LOADS of fun.  Also, I got to go to the Ohio State/Penn State game last Saturday.  Although it ended poorly for my team, it was a good time.  I got to hang out with my friend Drew, who was in town to party and even though the night ended poorly, all around it was an awesome day.

What else?.....  Jewelry sales are going freaking awesome.  I might not have to get a second job after all if I can just manage this until Christmas.  I've got two parties booked the first week in December which will easily net me $500 a piece.  I just need to steadily keep working on more pieces and stop letting my mom snag them before anyone else gets a chance.  It's hard to turn her down though because that's cash in hand right then.....

I think that's about it right now.  I've got to get back to work, but felt like I needed to get this out here since Curious was asking what the heck was going on.  Have a great Thirsty Thursday everyone :)
