How Did Things Get So Bad?

It has been months since the last time I have updated. You can pretty much say I have been out of my mind busy. Things have been way out of hand (and when I mean things, I mean everything). Friends, family, work, school, which in other words equals stress, stress, and more stress...

Recently, my so called "best friend" chose his girlfriend over me. In my opinion, any girlfriend/boyfriend that makes their significant other choice between them and their friends should be shot. OK, maybe not shot, but definitely dumped. The reason she made him chose was because clearly I was a threat and I don't mess around. This girl decided to be sneaky while he was away at boot camp and I was the only one that had the balls to snitch. No one likes a snitch but I thought we were best friends. If the shoe was on the other foot, I'd hope he'd do the same. But unfortunately, I was on the losing end and I lost a friend. I guess we all live and learn but one thing is for certain, two is for sure, that in the VERY end, I will be the one who won and standing there laughing! Once he gets home from school in May, you all can guarantee those frauds will be put on blast.

Next on my list, work. Last I left off was I got a hostess job at a brewery. Starting after Spring break I am going to look for another job. The people there are unfriendly and the job in general is just... Awful. Did I mention the people there are awful, too? It took them about a month to actually put me on the schedule after I was completed training. You would think that they would put a new employee on the schedule if they were THAT eager to work. I need money! I'm not playin! This week is my first week actually on the schedule. How ridiculous is that?

School is just as bad. I've learn that for the past year, all of the classes I have been taking for my accounting major are not transferable. You can only imagine how stressed out I am. So in other words, all of my money and time have gone to waste (or at least most of it). This up coming week I am applying to colleges in SC (College of Charleston being one of them) and getting a move on so I can get the hell out of here by the Fall. The latest, Spring of 2014.

Luckily, some good comes with the bad and for the past month I have been ACTUALLY dieting and exercising. And yes, it is for real this time (last time lasted like 48 hours). So far I am down 5lbs! I am going for an entire new me. I can't wait for you all to see. I am aiming for 120lbs (started at 138lbs) and on my birthday (April 3rd), I am dying my hair and getting a tan. Doesn't sound like a big deal but for me... It is. I haven't done anything different with myself for years!

With some good comes bad, but then more bad. I have been breaking out like you wouldn't believe and about 3 weeks ago, I got my hair cut and lets just say it looks like a 2 year old took a pair of clippers to my head while I was sleeping. My skin literally feels like it has been crawling because of all the stress. My skin reminds me and looks like a 14 year old teenager going through some major puberty. So I have decided to do some product reviews for my first entry back in the blog game. First one being, ProActiv the 3 Step System! Today is my first day back on the system so this is just based off of my experience. TOP 5 Q:
WHERE CAN I BUY IT? I am pretty sure you can call or order off their website. I know they also have boutiques now that they are more popular.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? It depends on what kind of system you get. If you purchase the original 3 step formula it runs about $30. But if you need the extra strength formula (which I probably will try) runs around $50. Also along with the 3 step program you usually receive their refining mask, dark spot corrector, OR spot treatment as a "free gift." So you get quite a lot for the price.
HOW DO I USE IT? This is the tricky part. I used ProActiv when I was in middle school and it worked for me off and on (which is why I am so skeptical about starting it up again). BUT after reading reviews on ProActiv's site, I read that it really makes a difference on how you follow the 3 step system. First, using the "Renewing Cleanser", you gently wash your face like you would with any other cleanser with luke-warm water, rinse completely off, and pat dry. And when I say completely off, I MEAN COMPLETELY OFF, because it will bleach your towels. Next, use the "Revitalizing Toner" with a cotton ball or pad and swipe it evenly over your entire face. Next using the "Repairing Treatment Moisturizer," spread and rub in to entire face evenly like a normal lotion.
HOW'D YA HEAR ABOUT IT? Like I said, I had heard about it when I was in middle school and all of my friends were using it. It worked off and on as a teenager, so now that I am more grown up that's why I am going to give it another try.
WOULD I RECOMMEND IT? WHY? Based off of my experience in middle school as a teenager, I wouldn't suggest this product because it was not very reliable. Some weeks it would work extremely well, other weeks it would make my skin worse. But who knows, this is why I am trying it again. It might work better this time! I will keep every one posted.

Next and last product is Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred DVD. TOP 5 Q:
WHERE CAN I BUY IT? I'm pretty sure you can buy it at any Best Buy or video store. Where you can buy DVDs, I am pretty sure you can find this! I found my DVD at Target.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? This is the best part... It only costs around $10!
HOW DO I USE IT? It is a work out DVD. There are 3 levels of intensity and you progressively every week increase your intensity. I was on level 1 for about 2 1/2 weeks because I was that out of shape but by the end of week 2 I was able to complete the entire workout with out a break. Oh and did I mention the workout is only 25 minutes? Only piece of advice is that you will not see results unless you do the work out almost every day.
HOW'D YA HEAR ABOUT IT? Funny enough, my mom introduced it to me about a year or two ago and I never had the stamina or the discipline to do it every day.
WOULD I RECOMMEND IT? WHY? OH MY GOD, yes. I hate working out but this video motivates me to get up every day and do it because it is only 25 minutes long. Also, I have been keeping up with it and already I have seen extreme results. Go Jillian Michaels!

Much love,

End Of Break Surprise

Guess what everyone? I finally got a job! I'm back in the restaurant biz. Unfortunately my school schedule really conflicted with my hopes for landing a nice office job. My spring schedule consists of school Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM. I applied online for a hostess/server position at Iron Hill Brewery the beginning of last week and... They called me on Sunday! I went in for my first interview yesterday and everything went really well (clearly). They asked me questions like "how do you handle difficult customers?" and "why did you apply to Iron Hill?" and... (I'm sorry I lost my train of thought, I am watching Strange Wilderness... It is actually kind of hilarious). I met both the "host manager" (who seemed normal) and the assistant manager (also normal), too. They wanted me to come back this morning at 10:30 to talk with the over all supervisor. So pretty much a 2nd interview? She was really nice and she said she really liked me because of how bubbly and sweet I was (little does she know...) but she offered me the job! I'm gonna be swamped this semester with school and work. They want to make me the "head" host so that means I am gonna be there for like 30 plus hours a week... But at 10 bucks an hour! So dope! I go back for my first day of training on Sunday at noon. I also start school on the 23rd! Everything is happening so fast!

That's all I really have for today but I am excited to be finally posting OOTDs and hopefully more product reviews now that I am gonna have money... And my car is all done being fixed!

Wish me LUCK!

2012 Recap

MONTH BY MONTH RECAP OF TWENTY TWELVE

I want to see if I could do this... This should be funny (PS I am that bored because I am sick -__-).

January 2012: I got caught talking to 2 guys at once. One being my favorite hook up Andy and my boyfriend at the time, Nick (luckily, both forgave me). But I ended up going to a place with Nick while Andy was there. Talk about awkward. New Years Eve I was deathly sick so I couldn't go hang with my friends but a few days after NYE, I left PA with my friend Emily (at the time) to help her move to Florida. It was fun! We went to all of the parks and I helped her get all of her stuff ready for move in day.
February 2012: I had a ton of fun visiting my friend (at the time) Alli at WCU and almost got an underage. Funny story. I haven't drank that much in all of my live in a single hour. After the party, we came back to her dorm hall and I immediately ran to the community bathroom to throw up... The RA caught me getting sick and called the cops on me. Luckily, by the time the police guy arrived, I was dead asleep in my friend's roommate's bed. He woke me up and I convinced him that the reason I was getting sick in the bathroom was because I had diabetes and the only thing I had eaten that night was a donut. Later that February, I went and visited my "boyfriend" Nick at his school in Virginia. Borderline, one of the shittest experiences. His "frat" was a bunch of hicks. I ended up missing my bus later that weekend because he was too lazy to wake up. I was not happy with him...
March 2012: My friend Emily at the time came home from Florida and we celebrated her birthday around spring break. Eric and his friend Andy came over my house one night and slept over. My mom made a scene (PS we were all drunk, especially Emily) and came in to my room as I was hooking up with Andy to tell me she thought there was a raccoon in her closet. Apparently it was making a lot of noise.
April 2012: I experienced my 19th birthday. I did nothing.
May 2012: I failed school. Really badly. My GPA was like a 1.5... But after I failed school, I went to Florida to visit my friend Emily. We went to Discovery Cove and pet dolphins and swam with sting rays. We also went to Orlando to go clubbin and she almost got me killed (part of the reason why we are no longer friends). Long story but long story short, we went, she got drugged, lost everything, had no ride home, stranded. The end.
June and July 2012: Constant partying and going to the shore with my friends. I also went to the zoo and it was hot as shit (NEVER doing that again). Oh and I also got sun poisoning, on my face, twice...
August 2012: I got my lip pierced and it was awesome (at the time). I went and got wrecked at the Mac Miller and Wiz Khalifa Under the Influence Tour concert and ended up hooking up with my good old friend Andy... Again. Next day, I took my "boyfriend" Nick (you can tell he wasn't really my boyfriend when I keep hooking up with other guys and putting "quotations") to the Phillies game. It was fun. After that, the weekend rolled around and I went back to the shore... I hooked up with another kid Alex, Nick found out, Nick stopped talking to me. THEN school started.
September 2012: I started my blog about EVERYTHING. My sister experienced her 14th birthday. We did nothing. I went to the Phillies game with my good friend Cristina and her friend Cait. I became extra good friends with the Jews and Eric... And who can forget about my best friend, Adam!
October 2012: I was bat girl and a nerd for Halloween and I forgot to mention this when it actually happened but I almost got pregnant. ALMOST! With Eric... So I guess you could say this is when we started "hooking up." Oh and I almost forgot to bring up the fact that I lost my job at Tabora the bakery.
November 2012: Thanksgiving was... Ok. I got a job at American Eagle. Disaster. There were some deaths.
December 2012: I got a 3.2 GPA after I took my impossible finals. My best friend left for the air force and I completely 100% parted ways with my old friend Emily (cause she's a bitch). I started birth control. I realized that Eric and I will never be anything at all so that's why I hooked up with his friend Andy again. I had one of the best Christmases. I quit the worst job ever. And most importantly, I learned to appreciate everything for what it is. Don't take things for granted especially your friends and fam.

Bad News

I was really looking forward to dedicating this post to my first day on the job but unfortunately, just the other day the boss lady called me while I was sleeping, left me a voicemail, and told me that "she regretted to inform me that they decided to fill the position with someone who would be able to do full time instead of part time." So looks to me I am back to square one again. I am beside myself because not only does this mean I am not bringing in any money, I kind of let down my parents. They are just as bummed (if not more bummed) about me not having a job! Along with that, I have a car to fix... I have no car because of my accident! At least I am thankful that I have friends that live close by and don't mind scooping me up when ever we have plans. This break so far has been FULL of ups and downs...

On some other news... My parents are talking about moving down SOUTH! How insane is that? I am not objecting at all at this point. I would love to meet new people and plus it will be warmer. I couldn't ask for a better opportunity.

I took my first panorama picture today! I woke up and decided to clean the entire house (including my room). Considering I wasn't able to do an OOTD today, I'll show you my room. My bedding includes everything from sheets, shams, duvet cover, quilt, and decorative pillow from PBTeen.com. All of my furniture and chair is from Ikea.com and my rug is from my local Home Goods. I also used Pinterest to find DIY words on canvas! I did 4 canvas boards that I purchased at my local craft store and used my favorite song lyrics from the song Closer To Love by Mat Kearny. The orange board says "IF EVERY BUILDING FALLS," the dark pink board says "AND ALL THE STARS FADE," the light pink board on the right says "WE'LL STILL BE SINGING THIS SONG," and last the brown board says "THE ONE THEY CAN'T TAKE AWAY." I change my room like every other year but this set up is my all time favorite and I refuse to change it (unless I move of course).

More later loves!

Much love,

What's Good 2013

Sorry I haven't updated in a while but a lot has happened in the past couple of days. Over the weekend I got in to a car accident so now I feel like I'm on house arrest or something? The front of my car looks like a fucking accordion. When it happened... I almost shit myself and I had so much adrenaline when I got home I couldn't even keep calm and talk to my parents, I was just crying and shaking all over like a little bitch. See what happened was (and yes, I am fully aware this was 100% my fault) that the day before I decided I was going to create a formal resume (sorry I don't have the cool accent e's), go on Craigslist, and apply for some office jobs. That next day I got a call from one of the places I had applied to and they wanted to interview me that day. That's where I was going when I rear ended some chick because my GOD DAMN GPS stopped working. I panicked and I wasn't paying attention. But with some bad, there comes some good! Next day, went to the interview and I got the job. I start the 8th and I am praying that it'll work out. I'll be the receptionist for some new spa place. It'll be interesting!

But anyways... Happy fucking New Year everyone! The big 2013! I wish I had a picture of the outfit I wore to the party I had went to but I have a link to the new jacket I wore (the outfit was a HUGE hit, if you know what I mean ;) ). I wore this black and white color block moto from Forever 21 (click Forever). With that I wore a black and white striped shirt underneath, my faux leather leggings (cheap ones from Sears), and my Elle heal booties. I killed it. Besides my outfit, I had a great time. I kissed everyone at the party and I became really close with my best friend Adam's (the guy who is in the air force) girlfriend, Rikki. She's a real sweetheart. Didn't realize how reckless everyone was until the next day. It was hilarious! And by the way, I think I finally broke my New Year's Eve curse. For the past 3 years I have spent NYE in my bed with a fever. I would wake up and everything would be all fine and dandy until like 6PM and my fever would kick in (super random). But this year, I made it out, and saw that ball drop! HOLLA!

That's it for today. I hope every one had a great NYE! And PS, I have been practicing and putting together some work outfits. This one is my favorite so far. This is my awesome leopard blouse, black cardi, AE dark jeggings, new brown boots (I got for xmas), and my new fossil purse! More soon?

So Long, Retail

I officially quit that dumb retail job today. I figured that Christmas is just around the corner and I'll be getting some Christmas money from my grandmom and pop then also my aunt and uncle on my dad's side of the family (so we're talking like $150). Then even though I quit today, I popped in and got my paycheck and surprisingly it was $135 (not bad) and THEN finally, I have another paycheck in the next 2 weeks that'll shoot through the mail. That all can hold me off until I find a new job. I'm boarder-line desperate so someone has got to hire me somewhere and soon! I decided to quit because I just couldn't take it anymore... No amount of money is worth working there especially with those people.

I don't have a lot going on right now besides the fact that I got a freaking 3.12 GPA this semester, and you don't even know, that is DAMN good for me! An A in math and B's in accounting, business, and English. All of my studying actually paid off for once (even though I told ya'll I can't study for shit). Besides all of that, break has been pretty good so far. All of the homies are coming home from school, some good, some bad but over all though I've just been with the same people. Tomorrow is another one of my "girls night" events with my Jew girls and we're planning on decorating our cheap wine glasses we had got, hot tubing, drinking, watching Christmas movies, then later on as usual probably leaving at like 1 AM to go see the boys. Yea... That kind of night! It'll be interesting. We'll see what happens, generally because all of the guys I've hooked up in the past will most likely be there. Yea... That night...

Pictures and what not later this weekend!

(By the way, the world didn't end. Good to be writing for everyone today as usual).

Time For Me To Find A New Job

But no really... I think it's time again for me to look for another job. Black Friday last weekend was beyond words horrible and my worst nightmare! First things first, you don't hire someone new and then throw them out on the floor with no training at all on Black Friday of all days? It is just common sense. I had no idea how they wanted me to fold their clothes or anything? They wanted me to greet everyone that walked in to the door but how did they want me to greet them? No clue. I had to find out everything on my own and to top that off, apparently the assistant manager already was talking shit on me behind my back (so I heard). Evidently, I was acting "too nice" to all of the managers and she thought I was being "fake." For Christ's sake, I hate girls... If you're too nice to them, you're a bitch, if you're a bitch to them, you're a bitch. You can NEVER win. I worked from 6 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon with only a 30 minute break. The only thing I enjoyed about my shift was helping customers put together outfits for their kids, grandkids, and what not! That's why I wanted the job. Not all this drama, "I don't know what I am doing," "she's too nice," bull shit. Today is my second shift... 3:30 until 8. I'm guessing it is going to be exactly the same. I can't wait to get my first paycheck and be out. Retail (as I remembered it from last time) is the worst occupation next to food business. Disagree with me all you want but people are bitchy, catty, and DAMN, I just wanna earn some cash money, that's it! Maybe I should be a waitress or something (OoO right, food business)?

On a better note, part of my winter break starts this week but then comes finals. I wasn't too excited for Christmas this year but now I am feelin the spirit a little considering it snowed heavily on Tuesday. I even put together my Christmas list which OBVIOUSLY I will show you all. I am trying to figure out what I am going to do for all of my friends for Christmas? Probably like some DIY decorated cookie bag with a jar of hot chocolate... With ribbons, and hand done tags... Okay now the craft nerd is coming out in me. But what do I get my BEST friends? Like Adam? Or Eric? Now I remember why I wasn't excited for Christmas this year.

Christmas list this week and also I forgot to post my finished color pencil drawing I did for Eric. So stay posted!

Retail Blows

I was welcomed with open arms back in to the retail world last Sunday the 18th and I was forced to remember my last retail job... Dreadful. Don't get me wrong, American Eagle is awesome! And not only do I obsess over their clothes, I am currently totally obsessing over their Holiday 60% discount. It's not like I didn't feel comfortable or anything, I just felt like the job in general just didn't meet my expectations. I felt like everything my "trainer" was saying, I already knew! Such as don't greet every customer the same, make sure you help them put together outfits (WHICH I am a pro at doing anyway), and promote all of their promotions. At the end of our session which pretty much only consisted of was paper work, they sent me on home with only 2 hours worth of experience and told me to show up for Black Friday at 6am until 4pm... You can only imagine how stoked I am... Not only that, I don't even get my legit schedule the following Thursday SO who knows when I will even be working next? Horrible. So after Friday I am going to continue my search for a new job. Hopefully with all of the nice new clothes I will be purchasing this week, I can land a nice office job answering the phone and doing paper work. For those of you who have worked in retail know how painful retail can be.

Any who, I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and break! I will be sure to post a OOTD tomorrow for Thanksgiving because I haven't in a while... Who knows, maybe you might see one of my AE Polyvore sets come to life? Hint. Hint.

Much love,

New Beginnings

I haven't updated in quite some time but I have not forgotten about my blog one bit! I have been extremely busy and I have just been waiting for the perfect time to hop back on my blog wagon.

The last I left off was when Sandy, the big bitch hurricane, hit the east coast right after my bangin Halloween weekend. Even though she did do some damage around me, my house, my shore house, my family, and all of my friends were unaffected which I am extra thankful for. As you can see to the right is the after math and all of the clean up my fam squad and I did to make it all look back to the norm. I have been particularly busy with school and especially my English class. The way my brain works is fucked up. NOT ONLY AM I A HUGE PROCRASTINATOR but I can memorize crazy math formulas and ace the shit out of my accounting tests but not write a damn English paper? It legitimately takes me days upon days to even set my thoughts straight. But overall, I got all of my work done that I needed to and I am excited for these new beginnings (mostly because my stress level is going to be brought down from an 8 to like a 3).

One super awesome thing that happened that I am actually kind of stoked about is that I got a job at American Eagle (for those of you who know me from Polyvore or read the rest of my blog know that is kind of a big deal). As of right now it is only a seasonal position for the holidays but it was really nice to see a manager be really enthusiastic about hiring me and having me be on their "team." I start officially on the 18th (this up coming Sunday) so I will most definitely give everyone a heads up on how my first day went. I think someone up there was really looking out for me because the day they called me, my parents were fighting about me not having a job...

Another cool thing that went down this past week was that I finally got my rib tattoo all fixed up! I was kind of apprehensive at first just because I don't have a job and I knew it wasn't going to cost me chunk change... BUT I was willing to do it just to help me get back on track and make me a happier person. Sometimes I need that push. The picture to the right is actually the before and after shot (before is the top, after is bottom obviously). A lot of people ask me the significance of it and to be honest... I mostly just blow people off (depending on who they are) and tell them that it's a long story. But really it's just plain and simple. First things first is the significance of when I got the tattoo. It was kind of a spur of the moment thing. December of 2011, my old best friend who had moved to Florida that very next month wanted to get her first tattoo and get it together (shitty shop = my shitty product of a tattoo). It also was kind of significant because it was the first time I actually stepped back and started the whole "moving on" process from my ex of 3 years. That month I finally started reaching out and talking to other guys and it was definitely a nice turning point in my life after high school. The heart key represents a few things. First, it is almost like the key to my heart and only I hold on to it (regardless on who I end up spending the rest of my life with in the end) but second, it's a replica of the heart key necklace my ex had given to me for my 17th birthday. I loved that necklace more than he would ever know and a month or two before getting the actual tattoo, he really pissed me off and I snapped the key and threw it out of my car window while I was driving. It really meant a lot to me and the saying "follow your heart" ties in to it 100%. Before he left for college (which was in Virginia), we hung out and I am not one to cry but man, I could not stop crying and I did not want to let him leave. I felt like it was my job to try to stop him and do everything I could to keep him from going that far away. The one thing he said to me was no matter what happened between me and him he wanted me to follow my heart and do what I wanted to do. That really stuck with me because yeah family is one thing to give you advice like that but someone else is different. After getting this redone really made me rethink and reevaluate the way I treat my friends and even my family.

I don't want to drag this post on... BUT there is so much more I have to tell all of you! Soon enough, I will make time tomorrow.

Much love,
JTS

You're Not Fooling Me

THIS ENTRY COULD BE MY BEST ONE YET!

Drama, drama, drama. Yesterday morning my boss texted me saying, "I got Ben (one of my co-workers) to cover your shift, I need you to work at the other store today." I accepted and not only that he texted back to say, "BTW make sure you bring your key" (the key is for the store I work in for when I close up). For some reason I didn't think anything of it at all. After I worked my shift, he proceeded to take my key and say, "follow me." Still... I didn't think anything of it. He told me that he was going to "take me off the schedule" (okay, now I was like wtf) and said, "we aren't on the same page and I need a leader for the store." Like I'm sorry dude, you've got to be kidding me? Keep in mind I've been working for them for more than a year and have been more than helpful whenever they needed anything so this was shocking as shit! He also began to tell me that every time he's been in the store he finds moldy items... And who's fault is that jackass? I'm not the morning person! The bitch you're sleeping with is (OOPS! I didn't actually say that to him but I was thinking that). Being the nice girl that I am I said, "I think you're making a big mistake. I come in every day and I find a million things that haven't been done. Angi (the bitch) and Ben do absolutely nothing besides text and talk to their friends." Thinking that this would change his mind, the only thing he said was, "you're probably right. I'll probably be kicking myself in the ass in 2 weeks." So clearly he knows I was right? I told him I was shocked! And I honestly thought that I was the only one that ever did work and to top that I was the only one willing to train new people. After I said my peace, he completely changed his story (this is where shit begins to get sketch). Not only was I not a "leader," apparently I have had a bad attitude lately and he didn't appreciate that. Bad attitude? Oh god... Please. I asked him to please give me an example and there was no valid example given. Go figure! But since I am professional, I still apologized for ever giving him attitude. So this is where it gets even MORE weird. Even though technically he unquestionably was firing me, he told me if I still wanted to work at the OTHER store, I could. Wait what? So you mean to tell me that even though I'm not a "leader" and that I evidently have a bad attitude, you'll still let me work at the OTHER store? Just not the store I work at now? -__- Really? At that point I told him to let me know when my pay check was in then I peaced out. So you're probably thinking to yourself... Okay, so what happens now? Why did he REALLY fire you? Well trust me, I was thinking that, too!

More drama. Today (approximately 2 hours ago), the baker at my work texted me only to let me know that now that I was gone, that bitch Angi officially opened her giant pie hole (LOL I worked at a bakery.. PIE hole) and told her that she knew my boss was going to fire me WEEKS ago. Well pretty much there is my answer. The reason why he fired me is because I knew something fishy was going on between them two and he didn't want me to tell! Wow. Funny thing is I am pretty sure I mentioned their affair entries ago! Whatever. I'm over it but I am excited to receive my last paycheck and let his fucking dumb ass know he didn't fool me. I know exactly the reason why he fired me and I think that's extremely shitty of him. Happily for me, I will be filing for unemployment. Sadly for him, he lost my entire friends and family's business. I hope to never have to set foot in that shit hole ever again!

Much love,
JTS

Too Much Stress

Guess where I'm at right now? Work... In the employee bathroom...

I think I am over extending myself? I work 7 hour shifts every day besides the 2 days I'm at school. It sounds pretty pathetic that I'm even contemplating this but I'm really trying not to over work myself this semester. I want to make money BUT do well in school, too. You know it's bad when all you want to do when you get to work is lock yourself in the bathroom or in to the winery to drink yourself dead. I haven't posted in a while because I died of a hangover after my last entry. No joke. My hangover even carried in to Sunday where I woke up with a migraine. And not just any migraine, the kind where if you even open your eyes you regurgitate the food you ate the night before! I was blessed with the ultimate mind fuck where not even the medicine could heal the throbbing. But anyway, I recovered to the best of my ability and I'm back on my work grind (NOT really). I need a stress relieving ball or something?

(I'm super lame but I saw this quote and thought it applied)
"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on."

Hopefully this too shall pass! Can't wait for next month so I can tell my job/boss to fuck off...

Much love,

Work Will Be The Death Of Me

(For those of you who want some humor in their life, I'm writing this while I'm taking my morning pee!) So good morning y'all!

I'm real sorry I didn't get to post yesterday and especially not posting a picture of the new hair cut (sorry not sorry)! But really, I'm not 100% comfortable with it yet. I actually went through with 7 inches, which is way more than what I intended to cut off. So I promise when I finally feel right about it and take a good picture, it'll be up (hopefully sooner than later). Did I mention I pretty much cried when I got home from the salon? (I sound like a bitch). But I guess it's only hair, right? It'll grow back.

So talking about my main title today, it should be very explanatory. Last night in my town was first Friday, it is where people decide to finally crawl out of their bat caves and actually walk around town because businesses tend to stay open longer AKA the busiest day of the month. First Friday refers to the "first Friday of the month" (gay). But last night my boss really fucked me over (not unusual). Money is really tight right now for them (which is understandable) because I'm working at their new 2nd location and they don't have enough money to hire new people (ridiculous). I've been with them for about a year now and it's never been like this until the new store. After this past month, we lost all the kids that were going away to school. So there are only 3 store girls left now (clearly, not enough). AND last night, I was all by myself up until some replacement bitch came in late. Normally, I wouldn't care because I enjoy working by myself but you have no idea how many people decided to come out last night. I was completed over-whelmed! And you're probably thinking, where was your boss during this whole thing? Good question. He bit off way more than he could chew and hosted his Sister's wedding at the other store last night! Talk about some shit. I was closing and mopping the floor (pretty much looking like Cinderella) when he showed up late last night. He apologized a trillion times and he thanked me for not dropping everything and walking out. But even though I accepted his apology, I still cursed him out and ripped him a new a-hole (I was that upset). I never wanna be that over-whelmed or stressed out again! I even started blurring out things that were completely irrelevant and that included the fact that I knew about his affair he's having and he better knock it off!

And until next time...

Much love!
