Fatties

Maybe if you stop drinking your sodas and eating your fast food you wouldn't be so obese. Try eating a vegetable, fruit, or even taking a short walk around the house (because you're lazy) and you might lose some of that orange fatty substance under the rolls upon rolls that you have.

TIFFTIA

Six months ago, April 21st to be exact, I ordered a custom license plate from the DMV that they said would only take about twelve weeks (three months) to be delivered to the DMV office of my choice. I chose the Napa office and have been waiting ever since for a notification that my plates have arrived. Finally being fed up with the DMV's incapabilities and waiting an entire six months for a sign that they have my plates, I called the 1-800 number and spoke to someone at the main office. She then realised it had been six months, called the Napa DMV, and found out that they do have my plates but for some reason I was never notified. She couldn't tell me how long they have had them for but she did set me up an appointment on Monday at 9am to pick them up. I bought my new car in July and have waited almost four months, not having any plates, for this day to finally come! Now everyone will see me coming.

Life's Too Short

Yesterday I had a wonderful time at my sister's Halloween Party. My mom, brother, cousin and I all drove up there which only took us about an hour and a half. Once we got there we saw all of the delicious snacks that she had set up for us. There were salamis, cheeses, tons of drinks to order, and a candy bar! I was dressed as a sexy nurse, mom was a vampire, cousin was a firefighter, brother was an athlete, sister was Tinkerbell, nephew was Peter Pan, and brother was an alligator. We all looked so wonderful!

Square Spaghetti

Tomorrow I will be getting up early to get my hair done by the beautifully pregnant Lettecia Marie. She always does her hair so cute and her makeup is perfect. I just can't wait for her to touch my hair, it'll make me fall asleep. After my hair and makeup are done, I'll be coming back to the apartment and putting on my full costume. At about 10:00am Jordan and I will be leaving to go to the airport where I will be dropping him off before his flight to Colorado. After I cry my heart out because I won't see him for a week and a half, I'll be driving down to Napa to pick up my mom, brother, and cousin hopefully. We'll be driving to my sister's house for her Halloween party where there will be tons of food, and drinks, and partying!!! Gunna be a fun Saturday with the family. Can't wait to see everyone. =)

My Favorite Cliches

I was in the shower this morning, at 6:00am, and was thinking about all of the cliche things I love saying all of the time. Now I would like to share just a few of my favorites with you!! Here we go (not in any specific order):


  • Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
  • Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
  • Patience is a virtue.
  • Don't judge a book by it's cover.
  • Another day, another dollar.
These are just some of the many that I am constantly using. The best part is how mad some people (aka Colin) get when I say them. =)

AD

Arrested Development really is such a funny show. It makes me feel not so lonely when my BFFF Jordan has gone for 2 weeks! :(

All About The Benjamins Baby

Yesterday, for the first time since working at Starbucks 5 years ago, a customer actually offered me a tip! Which may not seem like much to some, but it means a lot to me to know that someone appreciates the hard work I put into their jobs. Why is it that waiters who take an order, fill your glass, wait for the food to be made, then bring it to your table are tipped 15%?? I stand around all day doing bindings, laminations, folding, cutting, stapling, ordering business cards, and doing your typesetting and all I get is a thanks. Thank you's don't pay my bills. It's unfair that the techs at my job who do tech services such as hard drive backups, and PC tune-ups make a commission anywhere from 5% to 20% and I make no commission at all. We make the same per hour, but at the end of the month when the commission is added up, they tend to make about $400 more than me. That's the society we live in I suppose, where everyone thinks that waitresses work soooo hard and everyone else deserves what they make.

Guys...

Please don't come into my store, see that I'm working my butt off, and try to flirt with me. There are customers waiting while you try to make small talk with me about school and my job just to get to my phone number. You're pathetic and need to learn how to actually talk to a woman. kthxbai

Fright Fest




My sister, brother in-law, and nephew ca
me down to Napa yesterday. We met at China House, ate some delicious food there, and decided from there to go to Marine World to see what Fright Fest is like. We got there and it was a bit crowded. We got inside the park and there were zombies walking around, a blood fountain, and other Halloween creepy type things. We walked over to the kid's section of the park and saw some characters like Daffy Duck, Wiley Coyote, Bugs Bunny, among others. They were standing around in areas for kids to take pictures with and afterwards the kids would get a piece of candy from them; it was pretty adorable. Issac went on some rides for the first time! He absolutely loved it! A few of the rides I would say he was too young for, but next year he will be all set and we'll have a blast. I hope they end up getting season passes like my brother, mom, and I did this year. Overall, it was a fun day and I can't wait to see them this coming Saturday for their Halloween party!

Fall Cleaning

My room had become such a horrible mess in the past few weeks, I just had to take some time tonight to pick everything up off of the floor. I folded all of my pants and socks, hung my shirts, then went through all of the clothes in my closet. I can always tell which clothes I wear the most by which ones aren't on my bedroom floor. By process of elimination I think I am donating about 5 shirts, a skirt, a pair of shorts, and a pair of jeans. More room in my closet, and some nice clothes for someone else to appreciate. I, also, found a ton of sweaters I had completely forgotten about that are really adorable and I just cannot wait for the actual cold weather to arrive!!

Nursing School!

I just wanted to take some time tonight to let everyone know what the donations I've been talking about will actually go towards. I know I haven't really explained it, so here is the approximate breakdown!

Tuition: $36 per Unit x 77 units = $2772
Fees (including but not limited to) uniforms, textbooks, supplies, travel to and from school: $2000
Salary I may lose from not being able to work full time: ~$300/month

So, overall, from what I can estimate, the grand total of Nursing School may cost me $8400, if not more.

Please, if you have any sympathy, have been in my situation, or just want to see a great person do great things, donate to my Nursing School Fund. Your caring will not go unrecognized or unneeded.

Shake It!

Love when I finally get a chance to come home, put on some booty shorts, and sweat it out! If I keep this up I will have no problem fitting into my already-tight Halloween costume! Been working on cardio, abs, and legs. My diet is pretty normal except I've cut out any and all fast food, have been drinking as much water as possible instead of filling up on calories, eat a greek yogurt everyday, and no candy what-so-ever. I would say that my inspiration for all of this is the lovely and talented R&B singer, Ciara. Most of all, her song and music video Like A Boy has really inspired me to be the best to my abilities physically. She is just a fantastic dancer, singer, and she's pretty lean. Love it! My exercise regime mostly consists of doing about 20 lunges on each leg, about 50 crunches, and then dancing (going hard) for about a half hour to 45 mins. I work up a pretty good sweat and can actually feel my muscles working and burning which is a great feeling. Tomorrow I might include playing DDR into the regime. =)

Shrimpies!

Made some delicious shrimp lo-mein on this cloudy and sorta-cold night for Jordan and I. I wish I had a super nice kitchen, more money for groceries, and more time to cook because I could seriously make some amazingly delicious things!

My Favorite Color

Such a wonderful day today! It's raining, gray, and cold. I got to wear my new peacoat that I bought this weekend with my mom and I'm going to be making shrimp lo-mein for dinner! Yummy! I'll put some pics up of that once I get it started. This is going to be the best season we've had in a while =)

Over 1,000!

I officially have over 1,000 views on here now! That is just so amazing and shows just how many of my friends are here for me and I really appreciate it! I will try my hardest to be loyal to those of you who have been loyal to me by posting every day, including a picture, at least once, to the best of my abilities. Again, thanks for reading, keep up the good work!! =)

Pumpkin Spice!


Had an amazing day yesterday with my sister, her husband, and my nephew! They came down, we hung out a bit at Mom's house, then we drove out to the Stanley Lane Pumpkin Patch in Napa, CA. which we do every year, it's kind of our tradition. After that we went to Browns Valley Pizzeria and found out their power was out. They told us they could still make pizzas, though, which made us happy. Us ladies had salad bars with our pizza and it was absolutely delicious! Lettuce, Garbanzo Beans, Kidney Beans, Cucumber, Tomatoes, and sunflowe seeds... just the way I like it! Drove over to Starbucks after that and I treated them to coffees. We ordered a tall pumpkin spice latte with salt for me, a grande peppermint mocha for Kyle, and a grande caramel macchiatto for Crystal. Soo yummy! All in all it was a fantastic start to this beautiful season with my siblings and nephew. I love them so much!

Sunrise at Villa Del Rio

Sitting here, eating my cereal and loving that it's fall already. I think I got maybe 4 hours of sleep last night because I kept waking up thinking I was going to be late.. ugh! Anyways I've got my honey bunches of oats with freeze dried strawberries =) And it's Friday! Which means I need to send in my car payment and be broke again. I can't believe I spent $50 on groceries this week, and I don't even know what I bought! Oh well, I better find a second job soon to pay for a new apartment, the bills I already have, and the nursing program. =/

FPS

Last night i decided to go ahead and set up steam because I had just bought a new headset. I haven't played Counter Strike in 5 years probably and am a total noob now. Not only do I need a better setup for gaming: new mouse, wrist pad, stable desk, etc., but I need more time to game. I played a few rounds last night, re-learning everything I had forgotten and realizing how fun that game is and that I'm actually not too shabby at it. Thankfully it's starting to get colder, and rainier outside so I'll have an excuse for gaming so much. HEADSHOT!

Washer & Dryer

After getting home from work, it was cold and cloudy out, but not raining so I put on my boots and a cute sweater. Jordan and I left to get food at In and Out and then to the grocery store. It ended up actually being sunny while we were eating food, and grocery shopping but by the time we had checked out it was absolutely pouring outside. We sat by the doors of the store for a couple of minutes debating whether or not we should wait it out or just make a run for it. We ran! We were probably only out there for about a minute and by the time we got all of the bags in the car as fast as we could and shut the doors we were drenched! It looked as though we had been swimming. I got home, stripped off all of my soaked clothes, and hung them over the shower curtain rod. Wish we had a dryer. I love the rain, but I think I need to find my umbrella. =)

RVP

Today the Regional Vice President of the company I work for is making a visit to our store. Jordan and I both have to be there at 6am to put out 400 price changes and clean every little last bit of what didn't get cleaned yesterday before the RVP gets there. I already clearanced down a ton of stuff and organized the entire clearance rack, so now all I'll have to do is fill supplies and dust down my dept. The only thing that would suck is if he actually didn't visit the store and we ran around crazy for nothing. Hopefully I won't have to work there too much longer. =)

Hot Apple Cider

I believe it's about 65 degrees outside, I just got home from work about an hour ago and am sitting in my jammies drinking cider. I'm not sure what could make this any better except having more of my family and friends around. I appreciate everything and everyone who is close to me and anyone who has been there for me no matter what. It's amazing to have friends who you don't need to talk to everyday to know they're there for you.

On a completely separate subject, I bought an office chair at work on clearance that was originally $150 and I got it for $12. I am super proud of myself!

Also, I sent in my transcripts a couple of weeks ago to the Department of Real Estate along with my check to take the California Real Estate Exam (?). I figured I might as well put my training to good use and try to make a little more money so I won't have to work as much and can finally go back to school. I would do anything to just go to school full time for 2 years, finish my degree in Nursing, and live a happy life. What dreams may come, I suppose.

First Confession

Forgive me, it has been over 8 months since my last blog. A lot has happened since I moved to Sacramento. I am working full time at an office supply store. Sometimes I work 4am, 6am, or 8am shifts and always 40+ hours a week. I couldn't stand not having air conditioning, among the many other things wrong with my car so I saved up as much as I could and bought a car that would be safe and economical for me to drive in all of this traffic. I am going to meet with a counselor sometime in the next month, not sure which school yet, to see what classes I need to take to start my prerequisites for the nursing program. There's no denying how much I want to be a nurse, although I could easily finish my AA in business, also. Well, it is now 5:22am and I need to leave for work. Till next time, enjoy the cooler weather!
