my oil spill flower

Ask anyone who knows me and they can't imagine me taking care of plant. Im barely ever home. Maybe if the flower was in my car it would have a better chance. How did i get these flowers? you may be asking. Nope they weren't from a secret admirer or a guy that I'm dating. They were from a beautiful visitor to my job. (you know that place where i make money 2 buy cute things)
So this lady calls in on Monday and asks how much it would be to visit and I told her the price. She explained to me that her family didn't have the money. At first I would normally just give them a "I'm sorry but I can't help you" attitude, but something in her voice sounded troubling.
She explained to me that her family was from Alabama and was only in D.C. because of the oil spill. They were staying with family until things cleared up for them. My first thought was "huh this isn't a Katrina situation" I mean the media isn't really showing that people have to evacuate or anything like that. She explained to me all of the trouble that stupid b.p. oil spill had caused her family. Her three young sons had been experiencing head aches, frequent nose bleeds and nausea. She told me that the oil spill isn't just affecting the water but its in the air as well. They would be staying with family in D.C. until things cleared up and her husband would be commuting back a fourth for work. I was so touched by her story that I told my manager we had to help. He left her tickets and today she and her three boys came to visit. I saw her pull up with a flower pot in being passed between them and finally handed back to the mom. She came up to me and asked for me. I gave her a hug and she presented me with a beautiful flower pot with a pink plant inside. She thanked me and my day felt like it couldnt get any better. I feel like the public has no way of really helping the families of this oil spill disaster! I mean im definately not donating my money to b.p..... what can we do to help these people? what I did today felt great but imagine if i could give more. This is something I need to truly think about. I will keep everyone updated on things we can do to help. I will never forget that family from Alabama and I hope that one day very soon they can return to their beautiful home and we can find a resolution to this problem.

The King of Pop... Never Can Say Goodbye

So I was thinking about what my favorite MJ song of all time would be... and I  can't think of just one. I mean when I think about "Remember the Time", "Black or White", "Smooth Criminal", "Human Nature", "You are not alone" and that Free Willy song... (don't know the name) And who can forget The Jackson 5 era with "I'll be There", "The Love You Save", "Can You Feel It", "Never Can Say Goodbye", Gosh i can't pick just one!!! Without him where would music be? where would we be? Every song , every video we all can think back to some great memory. 
I can't believe its been a year. This time last year things in my life were so different. I'm happy where I am now. Even through all the soap opera like drama in my life its all worth it. I wouldn't trade what I have and who I have for anything. 
Michael Jackson always reminds me of childhood happiness, peter pan, and bubbles but when you look at him through all the years his eyes remained the same. His eyes still was filled with pain. He could of let his bad childhood and fame get to his head but he chose to give children all over the world the happiness he never had as a child and a bite to eat.
Michael I will always love you and even though my 3 year old neice doesn't know that you are dead yet you mean the world to her. She calls him "Mi-kul Jass-son" & nobody can correct her. Something about his spirit brings people together and makes children happy. A true legend.

paint the world pink

People love to see you down. They love to see you fall and its almost like when knowing that they are the cause of your tumbling it ignites their soul. I was having such a good day at this place where I make money to buy cute things. Everything was going well until this big monster who gets paid to do the same things I do decides it wants to critique how I do my job. I could see her eyes just watching me in jealousy. Everything I do is so effortlessly and she works so hard just to be a pain. Does she really feel good at night knowing that she is such a little pest? I mean come on she is such a pain in the ass. I was so ready to jump on the table and slap her but something in me said kill her with kindness. I swear my kindness is going to eat her alive. I don't wish any harm to her but I do wish growth. You can't get anywhere in life acting like a little suck up little bitch..... I feel so much better now! ((((((HAPPY THOUGHTS)))))
