Drinkin on the Job

Two bottles of vodka under my desk, Two bottles of vodka, pull one up, pass it around, one bottle of vodka under my desk.......................An interesting thing happened to me at work today. I could had been fired! I have (had) a co-worker who is leaving this fine state to move back to her home town of Lubbock, Texas. She is an awesome gal with a thick Texan accent and I'm fixen she will be shurley missed. She was cleaning out her fridge at home and brought alot of her food to work, you know like eggs, fruit, huge chunk of velvetta cheese, salsa, because she didn't want to toss it out. She didn't want to pack her booze either so she also brought that for me. Ooh I am so lucky. So, at 8am we were laughing about it with my supervisor this morning- You know having a big NO, NO opened and half empty at work and she asked my supervisor to put the two half empty bottles of Grey Goose in her office but NOoooo my supervisor put them under MY desk. My office is very open and my desk is curved so it is very exposed. Well, who would have thought that the Corporate BigWigs would be on the property today. Uhumm. No big whoop! they never come to the leasing office......UNTIL today!! So here I am with 2 (not just one) but 2 half empty vodka bottles sitting plain as day under my desk. The Corporate BigWigs began to look all over the office to get ideas on remodeling. I didn't want to be real obvious about ducking under my desk to throw the trash basket over my little stash. How many scenerios could have raced through my head? But no, I was just frozen with this silly smirky grin on. (Called a fake smile) As they casually walked through the office pointing at the ceiling and windows. I only wished them to be gone and soon they left. I stood up and walked to the back office and was giggling with my co-workers. Later on, as I was getting ready to leave for the day, I gave a bottle to one of my co-workers. The "new" girl squeeled in disbelief. She didn't think I was serious about having 2 Vodka bottles under my desk. She is now probably wondering who her new Co-Workers really are?? (sippy, sippy) Who has vodka at work? Sara does. Two bottles of vodka under my desk, Two bottles of vodka, pull one up, pass it around, one bottle of vodka under my desk.

Shark Attacks vs Lightning Strikes

You may know I am not a fan, nor a consumer of Local news, well any news for that matter- Long ago I decided that watching local news was not worth my time because I realized it had taken a life of its own- Shall we say SENSATIONALISM- yeah we shall say that- Well tonight while fighting to keep my eyes open I did watch the news- Yesterday we had a pretty feisty storm blow through my neighborhood and some people were strike by lighting in a nearby campground- Now the local news is putting their 2 1/2 cents in regarding the age old Mother Nature phenomenon of Lightning. Last week it was Shark Attacks. What will next week bring........

Pico de Gallo recipe

I have a garden down near a small airport- The garden is right at the end of the landing strip-The small airplanes buzz overhead as I planted my seeds. They buzz over my head as I pull weeds and water my crops. They buzz over my head as I marvel at all my fresh organic vegetables. I mostly planted the ingredients to make PICO de GALLO- my favorite salsa- My garden has flowers, green beans, radishes,broccoli, cilantro, cucumber, tomatoes,tomatillos, habenero peppers, hot Anaheim peppers, other hot pepper (can't remember the name) and my experimental plant this year is CELERY. oh how could I forget I have bell peppers too ( cause they are producing a lot of peppers) My sister started two of the tomato plants by seed and they are very good lookin- Good Job, Gigi- My mom is impressed by my gardening skills and suggested that I find a FARMER to marry- Hummm that might be a good idea..... I love John Deere tractors and I am saving up my money to purchase one (not really)

**Dice up 2 large tomatoes
**Peel skin off 1/2 cucumber and dice up
**Dice up 1/4 of a white onion
**Cut up approximately 8-10 sprigs of Cilantro
**sprinkle coarse salt over all ingredients
**add a couple dashes of lime juice
The mixture should look like you have even amounts of all ingredients
If you choose to have more of something you can add it
I on ocassion will add a hot pepper and because I rarely to this I would suggest adding it small amounts at a time( you don't want to ruin a good batch of salsa)
I usually make enough for myself but you are welcome to experiment with this
Now just get a real good bag of tortilla chips and a frosty beer or make yourself a Magarita
I will grill myself a pork loin chop and have this on the side as a relish- MMmmmmm Nothing beats a fresh bowl of pico de gallo and a cold drink- Cheers to organic vegtables.
I have tried to upload the photos to go with this and they are not cooperating- I will attach later as I have to get going-

I predict the next Jean FAD

So I recently went shopping with one of my girlfriends. We are the type of friends that have really nothing in common- Why do people with nothing in common have such great friendships? Anyways we headed for dinner and cocktails and then wandered the mall. She had a destination and I tagged along. She needed to stop into Abercrombie, I don't remember what she was looking for. I however, avoid those kinds of stores and can easily get panic attacks if I enter them. I was surprised that I casually waltzed right in. It must have been the numerous Vodka Collins I had at dinner. So upon entering we split up and wouldn't you know it, every damn employee working in the store at some point in my visit Greeted me. I am sure the upper management would have been proud- I was annoyed by there cute smiles (perfect teeth) and fit tan bodies. (which reminds me of a story a co-worker once told me. Abercrombie lost a lawsuit bigtime because they discriminated against employees who weren't your blonde, size 4, California surfer darlin'z) My friend couldn't find what she was looking for and with a second quick trip through the store we were heading for the door. But on our way out I had noticed this table of Men's Jeans. There was approximately 6 different styles of these grungy, paint splattered, large holes, small holes, ripped seams, and strategically faded pockets looking jeans. It really took me by surprise and I backed up to see the price tag. Can you guess?? Really guess- My weekly paycheck isn't that much (I am exaggerating) Those piece of shit jeans were $80 friggin dollars. Who in there right friggin mind would spend any money on that shit- Long ago when I was a poor art student- That was what we wore: Dirty, paint splattered, Photo chemically bleached, Ink smeared, probably lunch spilled JEANS. We purchased our clothes(jeans) at a local thrift store for probably $3- Went to our art classes and because we were so poor we couldn't afford aprons to protect our thrift store clothes and smeared art supplies on our thrift store clothes- So my question is, Who are the brilliant corporate clothes buyers for Abercrombie??? They get paid way to much- Well, since I am way ahead of the game- I will predict the next fad for jeans. And since the recent clothing trends seems to be eerily from 1985- I say that jeans will next have gold smears on them. You know METALLIC GOLD blotches all over it. I bet those could go for $95 or more (thousands if you use real gold) And then you could have silver or copper and even PLATINUM. Maybe I will get Paris Hilton to model them for me- I would be raking in the mula$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Looking out the Window at work

I wasn't going to enter into the blog everyday- but seems like I have a lot of material in my notepad which I would like to share. For instance, One day at work I was looking out the window and I saw this guy walking by. He caught my attention because he was holding a briefcase with his real hand and smoking a cigarette with a prosthetic hand. He had this really colorful shirt on. I had to draw him. I just thought it was one of those moments. I guess when you're left handed, you're left handed. What do you think was in his briefcase?? He walked down oneside of Hennepin and then up the otherside. Maybe he was lost.
I added another link "SaraTee's Poodle Boutique" It is for shits and giggles, I might change out some of the items periodically. Sometime in the near future I might (hopefully) put REAL art in the boutique.

New Links to Check Out >>>>

I have added some new links for any of you to check out. I am an artist-journalist and I want to share some of the other artist-journalist's that inspire me- Moonlight Chronicles by d.price is great. I came across him accidentally (do accidents really happen?) one day as I was browsing my local bookstore. I am a big fan of Postcarding. Sending random thoughts and tidbits through the mail (basically the original or old fashion way of blogging, ya think?) d.price is also a Postmark collector, which I admire in a person. Once long ago while in an art class in college, a classmate was creating a journal that entailed her sending herself a postcard everyday. I thought that was very cool. Every once in awhile I'll do that to myself, well maybe more than that. I'll turn anything into a postcard. (As some of you have noticed) I do give credit to an old friend who in my eyes is the Postcard King (or he was, I think he has since gone into retirement) He sends out great postcards. I try to live up to his legendary status. So if you like art journals check out the new links.

Overloaded brain with useless information

I keep a notepad in my car and whenever I see something that is real bizarre I write it down or draw it. It doesn't always have to be bizarre, but those moments seem to get written down most of the time. My short term memory is really bad. This leads to a problem, too much information in my head that I can't retrieve. (Most of the information floating in my head is work related- Yeah, pretty useless to me) That is why I keep a notepad with me. I am not that good at driving and writing. Much like I am not very good at taking photos and driving. Some people would say I am just a bad driver. Here is a quote that I have written in my notepad. I of course didn't write down the author (oops) Love's a fire. Whether its going to warm your heart, or burn your soul. You can never tell.

Day One of this messy BLOG adventure

a girls gotta do, what a girls gotta do.

After I got a lot of positive feed back from my
Vacation travel logs (which I forced down the throats of anyone on my email address list)
I was encouraged to do this "create a blog"
I didn't want to at first and then after learning my nine year old nephew has one- I thought
"shit, I can do that" Here it goes folks, ENJOY.
