It has become a difficult transition for us all because they do not want us there and we do not want to be there.  Our little two route office was moved into another two route office, one with a full time route opening so that has cause a lot of strife from the people already there.  You see, the full time positions are filled "in house" by seniority and the woman who thought she'd be a shoo in for it suddenly is behind two others in seniority, me being one of them.  To say the tension is high is an understatement.  This woman is very hostile and it is taking its toll on us all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Between that and my husband home and underfoot 24/7 since November I just cannot seem to get any traction to get back into the studio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did go in today...to clean (boo!).  I have such a mess in there from the holidays that I just keep trying to work over.  Time to actually clean it up so that was what I did.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5462765236294780269-2996337172713610138?l=howdycowgirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://howdycowgirl.blogspot.com/feeds/2996337172713610138/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://howdycowgirl.blogspot.com/2009/02/oh-goodness.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5462765236294780269/posts/default/2996337172713610138'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5462765236294780269/posts/default/2996337172713610138'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://howdycowgirl.blogspot.com/2009/02/oh-goodness.html' title='Oh Goodness'/><author><name>Howdy Cowgirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07446435069864017025</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q4Tb19lCprA/SXnVLd1jNxI/AAAAAAAAAAM/qC5yT9D10r8/S220/valentine.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462765236294780269.post-2342397479335112493</id><published>2009-01-29T08:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-29T08:23:37.453-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cowgirl'/><title type='text'>Valentine Card II</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q4Tb19lCprA/SYHXuCxF5HI/AAAAAAAAACM/G7p5Mb8xo24/s1600-h/valentine2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 236px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q4Tb19lCprA/SYHXuCxF5HI/AAAAAAAAACM/G7p5Mb8xo24/s320/valentine2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296751822781146226" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Gotta' love those cowgirls!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5462765236294780269-2342397479335112493?l=howdycowgirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://howdycowgirl.blogspot.com/feeds/2342397479335112493/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://howdycowgirl.blogspot.com/2009/01/valentine-card-ii.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5462765236294780269/posts/default/2342397479335112493'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5462765236294780269/posts/default/2342397479335112493'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://howdycowgirl.blogspot.com/2009/01/valentine-card-ii.html' title='Valentine Card II'/><author><name>Howdy Cowgirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07446435069864017025</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q4Tb19lCprA/SXnVLd1jNxI/AAAAAAAAAAM/qC5yT9D10r8/S220/valentine.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q4Tb19lCprA/SYHXuCxF5HI/AAAAAAAAACM/G7p5Mb8xo24/s72-c/valentine2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462765236294780269.post-3115640494318846354</id><published>2009-01-25T18:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-25T18:29:59.883-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='OWOH'/><title type='text'>One World-One Heart</title><content type='html'>Please, if you are here and see the logo for the OWOH, bookmark me until I decide what to put up and get it emailed to the hostess.

There are over 400 participating artists GIVING AWAY art and supplies that you can enter for!  It is a lot of fun reading the blogs and seeing what others create.

This past year has brought about big changes in what I do. I went from painting to collage and even some sewing. Right now I am enjoying making collage cards and pictures but that could change in a heartbeat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I love the color pink. I love horses and raise them. I love vintage cowgirl anything and old timey horse tack. I spend too much time dreaming and not enough doing which I am working on changing. With my kids almost out of school (last one graduates this year) I am finding myself a bit lost.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I decided this year I will put away all my stuff from the past and just focus on what I create today. No more "I shoulda' coulda's". Today is a new day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5462765236294780269-4994879739861879368?l=howdycowgirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://howdycowgirl.blogspot.com/feeds/4994879739861879368/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://howdycowgirl.blogspot.com/2009/01/greetings-all.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5462765236294780269/posts/default/4994879739861879368'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5462765236294780269/posts/default/4994879739861879368'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://howdycowgirl.blogspot.com/2009/01/greetings-all.html' title='Greetings All!'/><author><name>Howdy Cowgirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07446435069864017025</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q4Tb19lCprA/SXnVLd1jNxI/AAAAAAAAAAM/qC5yT9D10r8/S220/valentine.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q4Tb19lCprA/SX0c6f6oseI/AAAAAAAAAAw/Et61lTOVJIk/s72-c/valentine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
