this blob will be a little squishy baby!

My main concern at this point is how to get the cat to stop using my lower abdomen as a launching pad.

And I just took this quiz about levity in the workplace:

1. New employees are made to feel welcome – We got an email yesterday welcoming a new employee that started on April 28…
2. Meetings are positive and light – Rarely
3. We have fun activities at least once a month – Only because I PLAN the fun activities
4. It?s common to hear people laughing around here – No one laughs here. It’s like a morgue.
5. I can be myself at work – Absolutely not
6. We have a lot of celebrations for special events – Never
7. When brainstorming, we like to have fun – Fun? What’s fun?
8. My boss is usually optimistic and smiling – She’s a nice person, but no.
9. Customers would call us fun to do business with – Are you kidding?
10. I have a friend at work who makes me laugh – just one and am surrounded by 100 other people that make me scowl…

That’s it. I need to get out of here.

I like to craft, nay, love to craft, and there are only so many knitted/crocheted/embroidered things I need personally or can pawn off onto friends and relatives as gifts (who aren’t crafters and sometimes don’t appreciate how much time and effort it took to make something). Plus, there are things that I want to make for the challenge, but don’t necessarily want to keep.

I realized today that I have a problem when the cashier at the Walgreen’s spied my Better Homes and Gardens Holiday Crafts magazine and said, “The holidays already?” complete with eye roll. So I’m thinking I might as well make a little cash off of my obsessive craftiness, right? This is just in ponder stage right now – as I fear that once crafting becomes a “job” I will rapidly lose interest (as I have in about every other job I’ve ever had – including my current one – which is why I find myself sitting at my desk pondering opening an etsy shop…)
