I think I'll go hide under my covers in the fetal position while Spongebob drowns out my sobs.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10614655108107283001noreply@blogger.comBlogger104125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133611004238154689.post-67622408759540789722011-04-11T14:25:00.000-07:002011-04-11T16:07:47.669-07:00Why 2010 was a Crapfest<p>For a while there I was just going to let it go and not blog anymore. Most everyone I know has Facebook now so I saw no real point. But I've decided I need to do some good old fashion venting and I really can't do that via Facebook. </p><br /><p>Let me start out by saying that 2010 was, to date, the worst year of my life. I am now in a state of depression that I feel the need to talk about. I'm having trouble moving past it. I am not looking for sympathy. I was completely content to suffer in silence which is exactly what I was doing. That was until this fucking depression started to affect me physically. (I'll get to that later) So now I feel that if I don't get it out and (hopefully) let it go or it will never get better. </p><br /><p>Why you ask was 2010 such shit? I had not one, not two, but three miscarriages. Yep! That's got to be some kind of record right? 3 in 12 months. The first one I was 6 weeks, the second was 7 weeks, the third I was 12 weeks. My very first one back in 2008 I was 9 weeks. So that's 4 babies that I will never hold. 4 babies that I have loved from the moment that the lines popped up on that stupid stick, that are gone. 4 grandchildren that our parents will never spoil. </p><br /><p>Please understand that I have a good life. I have the best husband on earth. We have a good life. Jobs. A roof over our heads. We are by no means rich but we aren't hunger. I don't ask for much. I never have. I don't want the world I just want to be comfortable and happy in my little piece of it. Terry & I have done some pretty sweet things. More than some people will ever do. Which is one reason I feel so guilty for being depressed. But I can't stop being sad. I HATE THIS!!! </p><br /><p>Everyday I wake up and am grateful for everything I have. Then I hear a song or see a baby or a pregnant chick and my wall crumbles a little. Most days I can rebuild but other days it's too much. Truth be told I didn't even realize I was depressed until 3 days ago. For the last 3 weeks I have been suffering from "mystery pain". It seems to come from nowhere last a day or so then move to a different spot. From hip to wrist to knee to a finger to shoulder etc. I have no other symptoms. Except the ones associated with depression. Awesome.</p><br /><p>I believe that the first step to me getting over this is to accept that I really have a problem. I have a problem. Fine. I don't want to talk about it I just want to write about it. Please don't tell me that the Gods have a plan or that you know how I feel. You don't and I don't give a shit about Their plans. This is <strong><em>MY</em></strong> life and I have a fucking plan! How you like that?! See, I'm a little angry. I'm working on it.</p><br /><p>And before you ask, yes we've been to a fertility specialist and we know the problem. I've taken the steps to help neutralize it. It's a gene thing. I still may never be able to carry a child to term and if I do it may have down syndrome. Of course. </p><br /><p>Okay, I'm spent. Until next time. </p>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10614655108107283001noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133611004238154689.post-47055438747994152222010-08-17T14:21:00.000-07:002010-08-17T14:23:08.761-07:00New Addition<div align="left">No, it's not a baby. As some of you know my BFF Stephanie has move in with Terry & I. She has moved from PA to start a new journey in her life. Terry & I, starting July 30, drove to PA to help move her back. And plus I never miss a good road trip! We got to see my brother, The Badlands, Yellowstone, Rushmore, Crazy Horse and nearly everyone else in PA I wanted to see. I did miss a few people but time was short. It was fantastic! 6000ish miles later I've got some awesome pictures to share. Bare in mind this will be a lot so I'm gonna break it down into a few blog post.<br /><br />So without further ado, PICTURES!!!<br /><br />Our PA Family & Friends:</div><br /><div align="center"></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506432882411703778" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0EqgK-i9mWsmMGpe1tJaUQG9dSjoYzpR-LqR5bcJ8lvlsLoMTOXUjDj-ZdxLGB7f2hmBZrzLJ9UdPXZZJmL-QNEgKIslLgbvKL30OmOrzvpA9e2DIDtxXnj1O2jlVZsSjIDfS1VlsIEc/s400/IMG_0006.JPG" /><br /><p align="center">Me & my super handsome brother!</p><br /><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506432892185218050" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Udi3eH-LLfQEmugZG3lrExa_gyGEkOvdewpXKRfD4WBqK6Ra9I1i9ObetrV1bnlZeqCE_-jz-BmKBGp4ot6KtECk_T8Rf2mNEdV6TJ86BzAkff9NXtxpaTy9vormEroYOMW31PHMWsA/s400/IMG_0007.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506432898219165842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihFI6CFH_VDtPoRZSVHUADYK26ELx9J3OyJdNqEZDdF-_Xsb341QkftmpoZCrIuPHHAO_gqx5TFBVONMDgzAjrYHLtBedNYeKokOV-cFG3ZDPt7Tf80LVAEdD68sd635KGaGlrTqxg5GU/s400/IMG_0010.JPG" />Terry's side.

We didn't have to go far from home due to the fact that we live in one of the most amazing places in the country. (I love the Pacific Northwest!)

Friday Harbor to be exact. Its a nice little town kind of like Stars Hollow from the Gilmore Girls. I really like it. I love islands though. I would love to live a super simple life like that. Far enough away that from the busy life that things stay quite but close enough that you don't feel isolated. You can drive around the whole island in about an hour. The only real "commercial" place that's out there is a Best Western. It seems like everything else is local. I love that! </p><div>Well we didn't want to stay in town because for one the room prices were out-fricken-ragous and two the entire town was sold out. So we were left with no choice but to venture out and we ended up finding the most adorable Bed & Breakfast called the States Ranch Inn. The price was perfect and the inn itself was super quaint and cozy. So much better than a hotel. The owner showed us around and told us to make ourselves at home. And in the morning we had an amazing breakfast of strawberry shortcake, cheese souffle, crab cakes and canadian bacon. I may never stay in a hotel chain again!</div><br /><div>It's a working ranch so it had livestock like alpacas, pigs, chickens and I think, horses. We didn't see the horses but we saw their stalls. </div><br /><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482713073355601410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwOMmKFmMAFoPFjqYpiny62HPhe0h1SlVeGS6qiPpIzJOvKx5zxWUMDdsIv1OkkIgrxkdbzF4qsJd_ZWN1e0OiYafr1b7tl9JJHuwz258U7YAZzgj7qkM5MJJoJwwq-3DBMlEwDPxe5iA/s400/IMG_0005.JPG" /></div></div></div></div></div></div><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482719059956960834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwd5y_1QmBQWCJxhAdPqtV8Fe7D7H0i-Dh-qlckOgTA9Wh-B_3Pkkd-O-_Lf-M97JOj2VqI5UyHwTtiEimphslRzsdxOQGoa3g6c38gCiFecMbqoYjA3gq0kTuyhXOZG_0PyiSmfd6HkI/s400/IMG_0006.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482719264480038914" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0RSHImQemhpNNyeLHzckF9EnFU_w1d7YPhdiN5CWWeyOIgz4ce1GtHnnEdh6SVaMrUXc-r4LkUMN3rOvUIQYwyy9F2osj3jHT2nAQAGP09QYDmLjWIQ5OScC7Zgsx4H1hbI7WR8NEuLc/s400/IMG_0007.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482719529159818754" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYiPwbW2uOf4gN5g-BnEgNKJpmeN13UgFdSG3TeNySYWNu-cIDPbw29O6NgjD-B6uiGLINWZcvLV_e5vLj2XUuZchHfbSnBLkKGY77NeWaYCcS0TPM_oBXlMJaZo6diTCcd84EW8TUz8w/s400/IMG_0009.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482719694771696290" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgINLfgEk62q8hlZaSlbIfr3HvA7UW4yutjOB2TkACAanBo2EoiP3ESPi_G05HObKAT5tEYnEJx_bkNO4D2aQItNbpjyQEIjPgnFA1ROu0ebJ4p8Xm5w11Yth58mNJ55HesJNQVDFdi4mI/s400/IMG_0010.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482719923354769730" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXhNTSw1DnjQmwaIsk2qpkvno-GPUy3xlctTFDiUhtKpMQR5C_rbnkUWB8cVUKAgI2UoxE_VWoPo9tThlYeocFkGlpImXkN0pakUYQg-y60ZEvgIwqJg7q8WvOdkozZbo7EdnDhfBsRwU/s400/IMG_0011.JPG" /></p><p>So as we were driving around the island we came across some cool stuff.

We are fine. Looking forward. I fully intended to take a picture of myself once a week till I gave birth but I only got the one week done. I miscarried between 5 & 6 weeks.

For my birthday (2/24) they snuck over to my house a covered my car with silly string, and filled her with balloons and confetti that was my name! They are so cute. I never heard a thing! And from what they said they were loud. Sara (who no longer works for me) got me a GIANT teddy bear that Pepper (the cat) really seems to enjoy.<br /><br /></p><p align="left"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451692835843696162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX_WzKLMchoN_yOg5-yFJQ_yVW3YH0nJndw9te0XAPIBjutHoPanRMECBwdXtxqRL1Ivy31ZHc90TOhGY-Yaow3psupW_pPiV8H4Kjum7-Dz0y7uXFEUTlcvuXmjvRcRlyStMLTfblR9w/s400/015.JPG" /></p></div></div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451693879696597602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoxKTC5cCFJSMYbhI-c2ecEtvOewNITQhdYBNIjeFc0vJ7mfS1d-clWyph7ZkQ9ie1ZV8LUmqA-hOwJkJnMrEyieLkvm0hKfwiBbwcZ_g51NW92cHTetQtp0eD-hYPTDNIWWEcVerSaPs/s400/018.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451694159347437026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7uTm9SZWaAKaR4eIvmXRi8HWygbmHphC4boHu9Zw0LWqZMvgyApjq_TAfFOB4catfa9AXkBBQhXX523kN3kfqAacbPwj0aEf6SLUSTx7tkpz92bgG0z-bb8D73s_k9dj6ZnZCgWB9N2Y/s400/020.JPG" /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451694791353334642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAUFNGCyMV9Ynud9E5NvAi_wbb0m1eka9OpePziXGL9NFN7wWIil5iX0EzcxpDvIfWeJmfHecnGxPvTZMplFWnu2YzzwoIbYmiUPwq_-7tiGZ7OhH-aLCOgrg4lxU0ca4BKyi2ARL3FUA/s400/27016_1326033544274_1033970870_30997486_6499722_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451696459852807890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg2-TEljMKeOjPNSi1utGB4JyZuil4pYVVJ-uGvBoErR-2olhxsfWzsccpmp4XSqYtcj8H3LjGhrkYnEVeiZ5jjlB8_hmx8_qiy8ADEJtpiOw-b1vnYI-gvlOJAdusPH6z1Jfa1eyrXEA/s400/024.JPG" /></p><div align="left"><br />Just so ya'll know I have not cleaned my car since they did this and now I have popped balloons and Heather confetti all over my car.

I'm sorry if I haven't answered the phone or responded to emails, but I was just not ready to......I was just not ready. This has been very hard on me. I'm still so sad and angry. I will get over it but right now I'm still not right. I know I'm not the first woman to ever miscarry and I don't believe that my pain is worse than anyone else's. I think what made this so much harder than the first time is that I fell like I let Terry down. I never thought this would be so hard for us. I just assumed we would get pregnant and have kids. I didn't expect to be 33 (in 2 days...happy birthday to me) and childless.<br /><br />I'm sorry I intended this blog to be an assurance that we were doing ok......we are but its still sucks.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10614655108107283001noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133611004238154689.post-63848303234530166442010-02-14T10:12:00.000-08:002010-02-14T10:38:31.879-08:00Sad NewsYesterday Terry and I suffered a second miscarriage. I was 6 weeks along. I was going to wait till my first trimester was passed before we told anyone but now the circumstances have changed. We are both doing fine and are keeping busy as to keep our minds off of it.<br /><br />I'm extremely sad but I'm also VERY pissed off. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?!!?!? WHY AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO HAVE A CHILD? IT'S NOT FAIR! CRACK WHORES AND HOOKERS GET KNOCKED UP ALL THE TIME LIVE THE WORST KIND OF LIVES AND STILL HAVE BABIES THEY DON'T EVEN WANT!!! WTF! And why is it everyplace I look it's baby this & baby that. I feel so inadequate as a woman. I feel worthless. I see all my friends and family having these beautiful babies and I'm so jealous (in a good way).<br /><br />This one was due on Oct. 12, my dads birthday. We were hoping for a Oct. 18 delivery because it would have been half way between my dad's b-day & Terry's dad's b-day, Oct 24. I so wanted an October baby. It's my favorite month. I was gonna throw the best Halloween B-day parties. We plan on going to PA in July and I was gonna be all big (like 6 1/2 months). I was gonna take a picture of my growing belly every week. I was finally gonna make my parents Grandma & Grandpa & my brother Uncle Clint.<br /><br />I keep trying to look on the bright side but the truth is right I don't give a shit about the bright side.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10614655108107283001noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133611004238154689.post-3649975555755497662010-02-08T14:35:00.000-08:002010-02-08T19:13:44.177-08:00Forks, La Push & Cape FlatteryLast week was my glorious vacation during which I did almost nothing. That was the plan after all to do nothing. I didn't want to go anyplace which that's very strange since I am hyper sensitive to the condition known a "Cabin Fever". It takes me like 1 or 2 days before I must get out of the house!!! But for 6 of my 9 days of vacation I was content to stay at home farm with Farmville, clean the house and cook dinners. It was like heaven. The Girls at work did so good! They only called like 3 times and they were up in $ for our week. I knew I could count on them.<br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div>This past weekend was beautiful. 50 degree weather & blue skies. An oddity here in the Pacific Northwest for winter, normally our rainy season. So Terry and I took full advantage of it. We took a drive and stayed the night on the Olympic Peninsula. We'd been there once before but didn't get to see a whole lot. So this time I had a list of things I wanted to do and by golly we got them all done in a day and a half!</div><br /><div>This is my disclaimer: I am not a "Twihard" (a super Twilight fan) and I really could care less about the actors from the flicks. I did dig the books and I think is cool to go places I've read about or seen on TV. So due to the close proximity to Forks & La Push WA I felt I should go. </div><br /><div>Let me start by saying that EVERYONE over there is SOOOOOO nice! I couldn't believe it! They are so welcoming to Twilight fans. They've got a few stores, there are signs in all the windows welcoming Twilighters. It's nuts! They want people to come to their tiny tiny town. And let me tell you, they need it. It's like the town that time forgot. Everything is circa 1982. Everythings clean and orderly but old! I loved it there. We stayed at a small little motel called the Dew Drop Inn. (I love that name)</div><br /><div>So without further ado, photographs....... <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436012023467268498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOtFZoZQXIwZeX1khmwYwqP6RpLCvCXhGCYwEZwo1CJhpuogbQH_jrzGX1CP3sxzfUbpLbIEbUARa8g2oEo4CTm_VoHXyYr5GqI_464g85LrxZiDtlJLSNf1XjyGK-L1N7lEPQFUEcQyQ/s400/010.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Sorry its taken me so long to update my blog but this was the first Christmas I was a manager at the studio and it was really busy. I was there so much that when I got home the last thing I wanted to do was blog, farm, super poke pet, fish or zoo! All my poor (facebook/myspace) apps have suffered...*shakes head*. The second thing I would like to say is that if you are family or friend that I personally know and you did not get a holiday card it was simply because I do not have you correct address. So if you have a facebook or myspace page or you have my e-mail address and you didn't get a card please send me your address so I can be up to date. Thanx!<br /><br /><div></div><div>facebook page link: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/heather.millsclark">www.facebook.com/heather.millsclark</a></div><br /><div>Myspace page link: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/heatherjeanclark">www.myspace.com/heatherjeanclark</a> </div><br /><div>Please only send private messages. Don't put any personal info on my wall or in my comments. </div><div> </div><div>OK so lets get down to the reason y'all read this blog. Here's our update!</div><br /><div>Well other than the fact that I was super busy at work we've had a pretty good few months. Not really exciting but nice & quite. Just how I like it. I'm on a new medication for my stupid diabetes. Its called Byetta and is awesome! It's an injection kind of like insulin but not. I take it twice a day and it keeps my blood at a non-diabetic levels. AND the doc told me at my last appt the they were gonna come out with a Byetta shot that you only have to take once a week!!! Holy crap that's like not even being diabetic! So far I'm doing really well. I've lost a total of 42 lbs so far and I lose about 2 lbs every time I go the doc. I've said for a while now that I'd lost about 40lbs but that was just estimating. I weigh less than I have in at least 10 years! I have a waist line!!! I'm down past my first weight loss goal so I get a new tattoo as my reward. If I reach my next goal I get diamond earrings! I've got a way to go for that one. </div><br /><div>My first year as manager of the portrait studio sucked! I knew it would so I wasn't surprised. People (customers) in general can be horrible. And as the manager I have to take care of all the ridiculous issues. "I don't like my hair in this one"(then check the mirror before you leave the house) "His smile looks funny" (then stop yelling at him to (40 year old mom)"Smile less! Smile more! God Emilio (7 years old) you don't understand my "vision".) "The picture is so dark" (I tried to tell you that because you're black, maybe a black background is not the best idea, but what do I know?) "You know we felt rushed" (then maybe you should show up on time for the app you made, not half hour late and expect to get in as so as you walk in....ASS! We do have other customers. You're not our only one!) "I don't like any of these poses" (Well I did try to pose y'all but YOU only wanted standing poses) "She wasn't very good with my kids" (Prison guards would have had a hard time with you little brats. Try discipline, not bribery!) Ahhhh.......good times! I'm so happy that the holidays are over. You don't even know! And just so you know we do have some fantastic customers! There's nothing like someone saying to you "Heather, you can't ever leave this place! Would will make them laugh?" "I only want you, Heather!" Those people make this job worth it.</div><div> </div><div>Terry goes back to work tomorrow after having the last 2 weeks off. (Lucky!) I think the break was really good for him. He took the time off to "learn and master guitar" (its a work in progress) He's doing really well. It sounds like music now when he plays! </div><div></div><div>We got ourselves a Wii for Yule and we play a lot of Bowling & Mario Cart. Its a pretty cool gaming system I must say. It's the first new one we've bought since we've been together. Fun! </div><div> </div><div>Terry got me a camera. It's great so far. Much better than the little piece of crap I had before. Now taking pics is more fun. I got him Lego's! An airplane & helicopter. He loved 'um! Our Yule was simple and I loved it!</div><br /><div></div><div>So last night I hosted a party for my girls from work & their significant others. It was such a good time. The Wii came in super handy. This picture below is us. I didn't take it but I love it anyway.</div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 273px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423037638137754482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhccMK3nZrANysQyrhYMrJrRrPW6oH2gSRWoFBdY_SrsQJcrvzSwaEgOkD77GU0A6nwK06F09bLtxUmiRdeeCPDHcm3W50tC-lk6ibOjoNtxPXYgqWHvqxQL4wJZ5bsYTJP3BBP7QQhnLo/s400/l_1e69021091b544a9b050ff6420a6b40f.jpg" /><br /><p>As soon as I get my camera figured out I'll be posting more pics and now that I have a little bit more time I'll try not to go so long between posts. And on that note........Later!</p>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10614655108107283001noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133611004238154689.post-76839798182374346222009-11-13T10:20:00.000-08:002009-11-13T12:03:52.027-08:00At my Dad's insistence......I will be killing two birds with one stone this morning. I was gonna blog about my amazing Tuesday anyway so I mine-as-well "record every detail!!" (to quote my pop)<br /><br />The company that owns Sears Portrait Studios & Picture Me Studios (the photo places in Walmart), CPI Corp, are doing corporate sweeps throughout the USA, Canada & (I think) Mexico. They are doing surprise visits to studios to make sure "All the Aces are in their Places" their quote not mine. Naturally for the 2 months now that we've known about these sweeps all the studio managers in my district and I'm sure every where have been freaking out! Except me. I was a little nervous sure but in the big scheme of things I knew that my studio would be fine. I was not expecting a win but I knew we would pass. I've said before and I'll say again my team is the Best in the (North)West!<br /><br />On Tuesday morning (11/10/2009) who should come walking through our door.....Yep Corp! I was in the middle of taking pictures of my studio for my dist. manager with my cell phone when he walked in! I was like "Nice Heather, cell phone on the sales floor". We shook hands and a made a joke, "You Corp?" He said "Hmmm. Am I Corp? I guess I am. You the Manager?" "I am indeed!" I said. He handed me his card, I glanced at it and sat it down. He informed me he was going to look over our photography. I asked if it would be cool if I went about my business or if he needed me to hang out with him. He said he was good so I went to do manager type things. I went to make copies and called Michelle, my DM. "Fucking Corp is in my studio!!" "What?! Who?!" "Ranoldo. Ranato. I can't remember his name. " "RENATO!!!" "Yeah that's it. Is he ok?" "Yeah he's one of the good guys. Don't be nervous, you'll be fine."<br /><br />I get back to the studio and he was up behind my register where all our drawers are. I assume he went through them but he never said anything. I asked him if he needed me to show him anything specific, paper work, props. No was his answer. I was kind of bummed because all my stuff was nice and in order waiting for inspection!<br /><br />At this point he starts asking questions that I won't bored you with. We walked around the studio with him taking pictures of EVERYTHING!! Pictures on my wall, the front counter, my sales station, my cameras, he must have taken a hundred pictures! Some of the things we do at the studio aren't "corp approved" things. I have pictures of my girls on the wall, we don't use flip charts we use price sheets, bla bla bla. So he's looking at these things and I'm thinking "Crap! I'm gonna have to take this stuff away." HE LIKED 'UM! Even said "This is a good idea, I'm taking this back to corp!" (Thanks Trae!) He dug the picture of my girls.<br /><br />Finally were standing up at the front and he asked "What do you think as a company we could do better?" I preceded to tell him just what I thought. "These $7.99 coupons are kicking our asses, the online appt. scheduler sucks, other than that it's cool!" "Oh and since I have you here maybe you can help me. I have a girl would has been, for the last year, screwed out a her raise. And I don't believe I make enough money. I'm not asking for a huge raise I just want what I deserve as a manager." Not in those exact words but you get the point. He's taking notes and listening to every word I'm saying and all in all being a really nice guy, so I say "Well how'd I do?" "I don't have a set criteria, I'm basically looking for good management good crews and well run studios. So Heather I think I'm gonna give you an Award for Excellance! Your studio just won $100! What do you think of that?"<br /><br />Well let me tell you what I thought! I teared up and hugged him. "Are you serious?!? Oh my God!! Thank you so much!" He took my picture told me to have a nice Christmas and left. Wendy came running out of the camera room and we jumped up and down! We looked like big idiots! I called Michelle "WE JUST WON $100!!!" "YEAH, I KNEW YOU WOULD.....OMG I HAVE TO CALL CHERYL!! (her boss) Then she hung up on me.<br /><br />I then preceded to call anyone who would answer the phone.<br /><br />I got home that night and I was telling Terry all about it. He was like "So who was this guy?" I said not sure some field tech I think. No wait his card said Chief Executive Officer." Terry's like "You mean CEO!?!?!" Now before you think I'm stupid just know I didn't examine his card really closely and I just simply had not connected the dots. I hugged the CEO! I talked to him like he was just a random person. I TOLD HIM I DESERVED A RAISE!!!<br /><br />It was truly awesome! I'm so proud of my studio. And just so you understand what a big deal this is, we are the only studio in our dist, region & market (of like 5 states) to have won yet. And only 11 other studios across the country have won. THE CEO OF CPI THOUGHT WE WERE AWESOME!!!!<br /><br />Oh and FYI.......I got my raise!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10614655108107283001noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133611004238154689.post-88393058911054084622009-11-06T12:27:00.000-08:002009-11-06T12:41:43.400-08:00Pumpkins & Home Improvements<div align="center">The pics I ment to write about in my blog a few days ago.

But I will fill <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">ya'll</span> in on the little things.<br /><br />As some of you know Terry is learning to play guitar. He's doing quite well! at first it was just <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> of random notes and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> of repetition but he's now playing songs and is getting all excited about it. I'm glad he's got a hobby. It brings out the fun side of him.<br /><br />work is going well for him. He's finally able to work some overtime which is nice. We can always use the extra $!<br /><br />I myself have nothing going on. I'm working <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> (which I hate) so I leave early when ever I can. Although I'm VERY grateful to have a job this manager stuff blows! It will one day look good on a resume but the job itself....not fun! Stupid conference calls every morning, having a district manager who has a pain in the ass regional manager, cranky customers, worrying about what everyone else is up to or needs. I never wanted to give a crap about any of this but now I do. Ba-humbug! I'm just whining. The jobs not all bad. Only sometimes.<br /><br />I'm on a new medicine for my stupid diabetes. It's called <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Byetta</span>. It's an injection but not insulin. So far its working great! My blood's staying normal! And its suppose to help me loose more weight! Awesome!<br /><br />Love the short hair! Very liberating!<br /><br />Well my beloved Seattle Rains have come. I love rainy weather! It makes me sad when it rains while I'm at work and I can't watch it. No windows at the studio. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Everything's</span> so green! I love it here.<br /><br />I've been missing my Family & Friends lately. :( I wish everyone I loved was here in WA not 3000 miles away. I'm working my ass off to get my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">BFF</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Steph</span> to move out here. I think that if I just get her out here and locked in a room she'd stay! We'd feed her and stuff. To all my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kalgren</span> readers help me out! I wish that Jake, Nicole & Will were out here, too. I wish they were all out here. Brenda, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">Melis</span> & the boys, my Hallmark Girls, Minn. And mine & Terry's families. :(<br /><br />Terry and I are watching Arrested Development in DVD. Holy Shit is that an awesome show! What the hell is wrong with this country? "So you think you can dance", "the Bachelor", "American Idol", mindless shows like that are going strong but great shows never make it! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">WTF</span>?<br /><br />Well I hope that catches <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">ya'll</span> up.

Well this is true and to be fair nothing blog worthy has happened since my last post. I really don't want to be obnoxious and post every other day about random nothings. This is not Twitter and I have no desire to go there. Well not a lot is still happening but I'll update my loyal readers anyway!<br /><br /><br /><div><div><div><div>I have lost roughly 40lbs! I look awesome if I do say so myself. I still have a long way to go till I'll be satisfied but I'm proud of myself none the less! My diabetes is under control for the moment and I am still not on any insulin. Insulin makes it harder to lose weight so I want to get closer to my goal before I go on it. However, I was given a choice by the doc. He said "either you go on insulin now and continue to try for a kid (I'll have to go on insulin when I get pregnant) or wait till we get you on it to start trying again". I have decided to put it off for a few months. Like 6 or 7 months or until I reach my goal weight. I want to be as healthy as possible and loosing weight will only help me be healthy.</div><br /><div>Terry is learning to play the guitar. He's really enjoying himself. I love that he's doing this. </div><br /><div>Boeing had "Friends & Family Day" yesterday and I finally after 2 years got to see inside the worlds largest building. No pics unfortunately. No cameras aloud. But let me tell you this it's like a small city! It even has streets!!! Like 747 Lane! There were bikes and golf carts! You can't really imagine how big planes are till your standing underneath one. Crazy! I got to sit at Terry's desk. It was the first time in 10 years that I've been able to see where he's worked. He was so excited to show me everything. Let me tell you my ass was tired when we were done. We walked around for 4 hours and still didn't see everything. </div><br /><div>Terry and I got our pictures taken for the first time in like 6 or 7 years. Professional pics I mean. I thought it appropriate that we get pics for our 10 years ann. I'll post a few here but just know that most who read this blog will be getting some with their holiday cards. If you not sure if you'll be getting one but you want one let me know and I'll make sure I don't forget you! </div><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373742490757738562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjctqXqdioNmUjyCqPsxTcxia7XKATMpKv8hBgCAfb2QRzx3XhxWEQEebzzzK-RpmCnXPJXAi2Cupl7k7E7wPdU0fdBIPRMjMSRPEdVoX_hXPvZKBtlEYmboAnKC9bLWsjYBNeYyeCkAR4/s400/s41109ca110884_22_16.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373742561470240898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqGzZGcI0xaAOWPGPeGlKRR1IL0eGb_WfGUTBprph8RRunIEehxs8IiQzqEPYIqCi0yLKcIEzgKxJHYiJDaqOVJDDxDDmlfV16vwgwfIhmkCa-Qd1FOsMl6cp88pDeEgh4BJjT0O0sxYo/s400/s41109ca110884_29_1.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373742655741078402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP00RppHd2ZGYPwB5ONshC71_u4y5t5OyZcrpnvSg0P3ngdY5AoITetQlBUvf06zwaUPefP2lG0NXScrKRhv0NP36H3hebIMzAGOs_FPF7knGv7XN1XaOfkD_x3xn-35P3u6DdlENzxEQ/s400/s41109ca110884_39_7.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373742759873628850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia0RNZzaQ1g3WsoTiqhDsiOlaty45A1SUC1n51bnlHzKxhn606Nc3-pXfbIAYKB2EArtbM9So1CWTX4YQrtW6KOLOHtoZDK_geGQJLaWsDSHWMmI6h37dd4PNusKuAt_0tS_xzl8Ks27Q/s400/s41109ca110884_59_1.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div></div><br /><br /><br /><p>This is a picture of me & my girls at work.
