Going Fresh

Happy Holidays!

2010-12-24T14:46:00.000-05:00

I am back, for real this time! LAST time I posted that I was, the lovely someone special that I spoke of, acidentally broke my computer, and then school and such got in the way.. but now the computer is set up, on a DESK and running lovely! .. But I just had to make this quick announcement to remind myself, that I want to keep blogging! I will be back shortly - probably after Christmas, but maybe before!

oh hhaaaayyyy

2010-10-04T20:10:00.000-04:00

I am back from my break!!! WELL sort of. I will be letting you in on the details - BUT I am distracting and important someone. I will be back soon to explain all!

Zebras.

2010-08-15T13:50:00.001-04:00

I don't know my EXACT living situation up in Vermont yet, and it's driving me nuts! I have a dorm room, or a dude needing a roommate off campus! And we haven't found an apartment yet, which is why I don't know if I am going to dorm or not now! .. I really need to start buying things and getting stuff together, but I can't really.. till I know if it's a dorm room I am living in, or a house. URG. ha

So I am going to buy the zebra rainboots. I really want to add a lot of movies to my DVD collection.. I need to start a list!

... I don't know why I am posting right now. BYE!

One more thing!

2010-08-05T23:54:00.000-04:00

Does anyone know where I can purhcase a bathroom/shower caddy @?? Like.. the kind that you bring in the bathrroom with you, with all yours soaps and shampoos. I threw mine out thinking my dorm days were over.. little did I know I would be jinxing myself!

Let me know! Thanks!

Rainboot 101.

2010-08-05T23:41:00.002-04:00

I may have done a little online shopping between commercials of The Jersey Shore.. woops! But it was things I needed, and right now I am looking into rainboots, I am going to need those suckers - years ago. I got 25% off my order! I Shopped aerie, and got two new bras, new sneakers (mine are ten years old, I will still use them for outdoor work obvi), and some yoga pants. I am in the process of replacing all of my sweats and sweat shorts - all worn and ripped up, pretty much used to their capacity!

Did I mention that I got this all for under $100! Sneaks included!

I am fighting the urge to really shop. But I have promised myself that I have enough stuff to get me through till I can have some real money saved (once I get a job in VT) and once I have dropped 15 pounds, I will treat myself to some new clothing items!

I do need to get these rainboots, and a new winter jacket, since the ski resort stole mine :( I am really heartbroken about this, I don't think I will ever fully recover!

Did I mention that I can't find my organizer (planner thingy) - I had it three days ago, I remember the exact place and time that I had it out, now it's MIA. I have looked EVERYWHERE. How does that happen. ALSO I have a missing pack of Yaz. Like.. what the hell? I had to go buy another pack! I was mad because.. I don't understand. There are little gnomes running about taking my stuff, I am convinced.

Tomorrow is supposed to be gorgeous so when I leave here around 10, it's straight to the beach for me. ALL day. Then I am going to clean my car out and vaccum it and give it some lovin (even if it's not a Saab- I miss my Saab dearly..) THEN I am going to go food shopping, healthy food shopping, I am so excited. Not to spend money, but to have healthy food all around me to eat! Then I think I am going to call it a night in and clean and organize my stuff and throw junk away.. I was going to go out, but 1. I need to save money, and 2. I have a double @ the bar on Saturday, I need to be lookin cute and feelin cute for 12+ hours, dealing with the rude men.

I contemplated going to bed after this, but now I think that I am going to work on the look of my blog, I have such a cute vision for it, I just don't know if I even know what I am doing.. lol so much for that $500 web design class I took this summer. -- Actually that's what I am going to do right this minute!

PS. Which rainboots do you like better?.. they are all in the same general price range, so it's not helping me! I have always wanted zebra print, but then I saw the cute birds and I just melted, and then the other ones.. are just so different I think.. help!

Thank you my little cherubs!

Dreams

2010-08-05T15:40:00.000-04:00

Last night I had a dream about Levi Johnston... So weird! We were in love. For those of you that do not know who he is, he is the baby daddy of Bristol Palins child. I have been hearing so much about him on the radio and stuff, I guess that's why? I also watched Life on the D List, and he was on it. I guess I have a secret crush on him.

I didn't get anything done today, except get to work. I fell asleep when I got home while watching an episode of Boy Meets World. And then we had a huge storm, so.. I didn't really sleep either.. but oh well!

AND IT'S STORMING AGAIN RIGHT NOW.

Gotta shut this puppy down, I will be back later!

UGH.

2010-08-04T23:08:00.000-04:00

So. I will admit, I have become addicted. Addicted to Frontierville that is. It's a STUPID game on facebook. Don't even look it up. It will consume you. This is really one of the main reasons I haven't been blogging, because I need to play that absurd game, gah it's so dumb when I think about it haha. SO I have decided to quit it. I am blocking the application from my facebook.

I am back, sorry my addiction took the best of me! But I have also been working and babysitting a lot! My sched this week is packed! Monday I bartended till 5pm, then babysat till 9pm - Tuesday I babysat 7am- 4:30pm, then bartended 5pm-12:30am - Today I bartended till 5pm, then came here to babysit which I will be here till 7am! And the same thing tomorrow as today, but Friday I won't be leaving till like 10ish in the morning but then I have the rest of the day off! Then Saturday I have a double at work and then work Sunday day. WILD. But money is very much needed in my life right now.

I don't know why I just told you all my schedule, I don't want sympathy or anything I just ... like to talk I suppose.

It seems as if I am def. going back to school in Vermont in the Fall - absolutely last minute thing in my life - which I was talking about in my last post, I am now waiting for some financial aid stuff. I go there on the 20th to work some classes out with an advisor, I am not gonna lie- I am excited! Although tonight I had to tell the family I sit for (my second home, and family) about my plans, I wanted to cry. I think that Melissa (the woman that I sit for) wanted to too! I wish that they could just come with me.

*cough* 310 calories *cough*

Anyways.. I can't stop thinking about online shopping right now. hahah so bad. Almost as bad as my diet. Someone help me! lol I had a double chocolate donut this morning.. ugh. THEY ARE SO GOOD. [after finding out how many calories are in them while searching for the perfect picture, I think I am not so fond of them after all.. atleast I hope.]

Well I need to get to sleep over here because it's going to be an early morning with the wild things. When I leave here my goal is to clean my car out, get some laundry put away and wash my sheets and blankets and hang them out to dry .. all before work. It should happen, unless I go home and pass out on the couch for an hour or so!

Goodnight my little cherubs.
xoxo

Quick update!

2010-07-29T15:14:00.000-04:00

Good afternoon mates!

I have been very very busy lately and that is why I haven't been posting..

One of my bestfriends got married on Sunday, a backyard simple wedding with lots of celebration afterwards. I am so happy for them!

I have been babysitting a lot. I took the kids to the park the other day, which has a great playground for all three of them (ages 7, 4, & 1) - and it also has a little beach in the back too, with a lifegaurd. We had so much fun! And then later that night I took them out to Chuck E Cheese, it was def. a handful, but I couldn't believe how well they listened for being at such a fast paced fun place for them! - I was bummed I didn't have my camera out that whole day, oh well!

I am at work right now and the bar is dead. It was pretty busy a little while ago, and I got some time to clean out and sort our booze closet and coolers so I feel very productive today! Hopefully I stay this way when I get home, because I have YET to finish my craft room project, which I posted about eons ago.

I have also been sorting out some school stuff, my plans have been changed drastically, but I will not talk about them till they are set in stone.. but anyways..

That's it's for now. I don't really have much to talk about right now nor would I like to bore anyone!

Day off tomorrow = BEACH ! ! !

@ the beach two weeks ago!

survey rewards

2010-07-22T14:54:00.004-04:00

I just wanted to let everyone know, that I am $3 away from receiving a $25 gift card to American Eagle! AND I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT IT! I participate in this survey panel, which I don't know if it's invite only, because I was invited.. but if it's not I really encourage you to check it out! www.e-rewards.com You get paid for surveys that you qualify for and then complete, but you don't really see the money, they have a rewards section from a $10 level to a $130 level. I have already recieved a 2 year subscription to SHAPE magazine, and now am on my way to my AE gift card! Woo!

I just wanted to share my excitement, thank you!

2010-07-22T14:00:00.004-04:00

The 1st thing I would like to address :

Can you even read my blog? Or, is the font clear enough!? I can't decide, only because I like it .. Let me know please! I am trying to revamp the look and appeal of my blog--input would be nice!

The 2nd thing I would like to address :

I am going on a diet, and will be exercising on the daily. I WILL I WILL I WILL. I said this to myself at the beginning of the week, but failed already. So, I figured why not start on a Thursday- although I already had Chinese food for lunch! Failing already, but still going with it. When I declare that I am dieting I end up gaining weight because all I think about is food. OR I start one when the lovely lady friend comes to visit who forces my body want everything bad for me, and blows my belly up to the point where I can do nothing but roll around and whine all day. - Which I am happy to announce my blood pressure went down! And I can now go back on the pill (so hopefully I won't display puff bully any longer). The pill which I am convinced made me have my gallbladder removed, but hey, now I don't have to worry about that sucker getting messed up. I will tell you, my gallbladder was not my friend, it was very mean to me and made me cry a lot, it physically abused me- I had to kick em out! And I am certainly glad that I did ... wow I am definitely wondering!

I must admit to all of you, I will never know how to spell the word definitely. I NEVER spell it right, never ever ever ever! I don't understand why - but it won't remain in the storage bin labeled spellings of words you learned in the 3rd grade. It must be off with the 6 & 7's tables! Because they will never stay put either!

ANYWAY. When I get out of work today at five. I am work/babysitting free till Saturday morning at 11am. So do you know what that means?? LAUNDRY/CRAFT NIGHT & BEACH DAY! &&& Saturday at the bar we are having clam cakes and chowda, so work really won't be bad at all becaue I will be busy, making tips, and scarfing down chowda!

This is such a long annoying post, but I am just obsessed with typing right now that I cannot stop. But now that I say that, I think it's about time to wrap it up!

xoxo
( I am trying to think of something funny or cool to end my posts with, but I am not the smoothest with wit.)

Cupcakes!

2010-07-21T13:22:00.006-04:00

So, I had jumped on the bandwagon of cupcake decorating quite recently!

I made hamburger ones, they were supposed to be cheeseburgers but the yellow icing was a gel so it didn't come out as it was supposed to! They are still rockin though I think! - even if my cell phone camera quality is a bit shot.

So, to further my obsession, I decided to buy this little kit from Freds ! I haven't used it yet, but I did look at the book, and I think it's going to be helpful, and.. I really bought it because I loved the cupcake liners. ha

@TJMaxx I also bought a mini cupcake pan, that holds 24 cupcakes, I am excited to start baking some! My next goal is to find the perfect recipe for frosting, and then I think I want to learn how to make fondant!

Well it's time for me to catch up on blogs and giveaways! Maybe try to find some new followers!

Small recap.

2010-07-21T13:15:00.003-04:00

Well, it's been almost a month. OR has been a month pretty much! I have been super busy with school ending, working and babysitting a lot, and I went to Vermont this past weekend!

In short, my car died on the way to North Carolina - a half hour away from my destination. Other than that I had such a fun time, and I think everyone else did as well, it was great to see some family and really spend time with them - in which I don't get to often!

School is over for now, till September, I went to return my rented books to (Which is amazing), but my printer would not work, so that's my goal tomorrow! Along with a lot of various other things.

This past weekend I went to VT (I had a bus ticket- but my ride to the bus ended up just driving me to VT, WILD I say, but sooo nice) and had so much fun! We won 1st place for site decorating for Christmas in July! I wish that I took pictures, I have to get better with that! I went out for my friend Mikey (whom I met while away at school in VT) ... we all went out to the casino, it was a really good time!

I am kind of going to just pick up where I am at though for blogging. Done recapping.

xoxo
RIP Saab - you will be missed.

Pain in the ass.

2010-06-29T00:00:00.001-04:00

I still can't get my desktop to do what I need it to do! I HATE technology sometimes. My eyes are burning from reading so much crap on the screen telling me how to fix one problem to then fix the next, to then be able to put my disc in and clean this puppy out! URG!

One more

2010-06-28T14:48:00.003-04:00

One more giveaway you might be interested in is over at Tight Was in Utah for a $10 gift card to Amazon! Who couldn't use one of those, right?!

I am home in RI

2010-06-28T14:05:00.004-04:00

I have a lot to tell about my very eventful trip, but right now I am trying to catch up on blog readings, and school stuff at the moment!

But - I did stop by to announce a giveaway over at Ashley's Allowance ! It's a great giveaway for a new line of natural body products. I can't wait to see if I win!

Haha

2010-06-24T14:08:00.005-04:00

I have never laughed so much in life - this is the funniest thing Yes Dear has ever done. (If you are not familiar with the show, you should start!)

Oh yeaaa!

2010-06-23T16:11:00.000-04:00

Fix it.

2010-06-23T14:18:00.004-04:00

OH BY THE WAY. I bought this Fix it Utilities 10 software, to hopefully fix my desktop that got a virus, and won't let me do anything unless I am in safe mode. I tried to boot it up last night, but it wouldn't let me because it said i didn't have an internet connection; but this is because I had it in the safe mode, without networking. I gave up right then, and decided that I would give it another try tonight. I didn't know much about this software when I purchased it, about a month ago, it was around $40 .. and now I am looking up reviews but I can't find anything on how well it works for system recovery.. or maybe I just got lazy reading the pages of information. Nevertheless I am going to hopefully get it working tonight, and I will let you know what I think of it, hopefully I think it's amazing. I am excited for this though, because I miss my desktop SO much, I love my laptop.. but.. there is nothing like a desktop! .. wish me luck!

Ps. If it does not work how I need it to, I hope someone out there can recommend me something?!

Movie review, sort of!

2010-06-23T13:24:00.006-04:00

Last night I treated myself to some Chinese food, a Coors light, and the movie Remember Me. I cried, I laughed, I really cried, I liked it. Would certainly say I did not know much about it going into it, and I am glad that I didn't because then it would not have been so effective I think.

I am making some headway on my crafting area. I got my desks painted (and the paint off the floor) - I am trying to find the perfect fabric to reupholster my chair though. That make take me some time to make this discovery. I wanted to work on it some more last night but after babysitting all day, and then class, I was exhausted - hence why I treated myself to the lovely girl night that I had; ha. It was well deserved and much needed I will tell you that.

I am headed to North Carolina tomorrow night, yahoo maps tells me my drive is about 11 hours, It should be interesting! I wish that I was staying longer then I am though .. but oh well, it should be a fun weekend!

Anyways, I am sure that I will end up posting a couple more times throughout this uneventful work day here at the bar.

Cheers!

A GIVEAWAY

2010-06-21T15:03:00.007-04:00

Hello all!

I am back and blogging. I took quite a break, but I am back. I even have some debt down, and some good things happening. I can't wait to talk about them some more, and maybe get some tips and tutorials when it comes to some crafts and DIY decor.

Right now I am at work .. so productive I know, but the bar is dead so I figured not a better time then now to announce my come back! I also hope to pick up some new followers, so tell people about me if you think they might be interested or might become interested!

I have to babysit after work tonight, but I am going to be starting the redoing of my crafting/office area in my bedroom when I get out, and I am pretty excited about it.

My inspiration :

I will have a before and after when I am done! I bought a new desk last night and assembled it, but I want to repaint it along with my older desk .. which I might be getting done tomorrow, I hope! .. But who knows. I might even start it tonight if it's not too humid. .. either way, I am pumped - and will stop going on about nonsense.

Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Check out this giveaway !

Almost murdered?

2009-11-19T13:15:00.003-05:00

Today. At precisely 11:08 am I thought that I would be a victim of a robbery or murder at my place of work. But please don't worry, nothing at all happened except the fact that I looked like a crazy mad woman in a bar before it was even open.

(This will be an annoyingly long story I feel, even though it lasted about 2 minutes in real life, but it felt like for ever) -SO if you just want the ending go to the bolded paragraph! Or if you want the whole story, keep reading ( I am trying to make this goosbumps style, where you choose your own ending! ha kidding )

I work at a private club in my town, I bartend for that matter. Its not a crazy busy place but you know it helps out the funds and it sure is interesting, besides the fact that my father is my boss (don't worry, we don't own it and I am in no way a "rich bitch" - I wish). But anyways. I was coming in for my regular Thursday to open for noon.

I pulled in the parking lot and saw a car, but that's not unusual because it's a bar.. and there are still some responsible people in this world that do not drink and drive. I of course assume that that is why this car is there. I come inside with my arms full of my lunch, coffee, school work and such and go to put it down on a table which usually will by then set the alarm off. I hear no alarm, and sometimes this happens and you have to hop around the door a little further (flailing your arms about) for a second and let the sensor really see you. This did not happen. I look at the key pad and it says that the alarm off one of the doors (that we don't use) has been set off. Right when I saw that I just stopped in my tracks and looked all around. All I could think about was someone hiding right behind the bar ready to jump on me. I then of course didn't have my phone in my pocket, which is very usual when I get out of my car, but of course today I had stuck it in my backpack because I had more things to carry then usual.

I then tip toe to the bar and see no one behind it so I grab a hammer. What I will do with it, I do not know. I grabbed the bar phone (which was just like in a movie because why woudln't I get my cell, killers cut the power to the phone lines) I then peer out the window and look at the plate it was someones name and I procceed to the hall (as in a big room, not a hallway). Then I think to myself, well maybe I should call my dad just to make sure that he didn't have someone come here to do some work down in the kitchen or something (even though I set door was the one that was right near all our locked valuables in the bar).

I start walking towards the stairs and turn the phone on which then beeps so much because the battery is dead, which scared me cause it shouldn't be! AND because I now then just made so much noise with it! I ran to my cell phone and called my dad.

OF COURSE. He locked himself out of the place last night when bringing the trash out and couldn't get back in because he didn't have the key with him. So he coudn't set the alarm, and that care WAS left there from last night. He laughed at me, and I felt like a real silly person.

I now sort of know why on scary movies why people do the stupid things they do. Like why a hammer? Why the work phone? And why on earth would I keep going to look for the trouble!? But oh well. I handled things hah. On a more serious note. Not that that wasn't serious.. but it only would have been real serious if something truly went down like me smacking a perk with a hammer that I have to defend my.

So now :

Today is the day. Going to the gym tonight and never not going back! .. If that does not make sense like it does in my head then what I mean is I will be start a gym going routine! Don't believe me? Either do I. BUT I really want to. So I am going to try!

I am now going to finish some more homework while not really bartending because no one is in here still?? && then I will probably post one of these later because now I will be obsessed with blogging for a bit since I haven't in forever.

PS. Season finale of project runway is on tonight!!!

Organic Blows. (as inscribed in the table I sit at)

2009-11-18T14:30:00.002-05:00

I am sitting here in the library at URI. There are long discussion tables and white boards everywhere. Of course these tables are wood, and perfect for carving the most ridiculous sayings, words, and hearts filled with names. To go along with these engraved tables are the scariest chairs you will ever sit in. They are regular wooden chairs, or so you would think. Whoever made these chairs must have thought it would be a funny joke to round out the bottoms so that they rocked. They must have wanted to do this so that while you are so concerned with your studies you lose your balance and begin to feel as if you are going to tip backwards and then you quickly grab and hold on to the table for dear life to the point that your face goes into a look of shock and your mouth opens to shriek, but then of course you realize that you are not going to fall at all, and you just looked like a total spaz. I suppose at least it lets you have a good little chuckle at yourself and eases your mind of the stress you are gong through, atleast that's what I like to think the man that designed these chairs was thinking when constructing them.

I really can't wait to start blogging again - enough blogging to be annoying.
It's a promise.

:(

2009-11-03T16:23:00.002-05:00

I need some sort of motivation in my life.
I feel pathetic!

Oh dear,

2009-10-07T14:36:00.002-04:00

I am pretty sure my energy has run out!

I need to get posting sometime. But right now I should be writing out an outline for a history exam that seems impossible - hopefully I can make the impossible, possible.

Don't forget paper and pencils.

2009-09-09T13:44:00.002-04:00

You know those kids that always come to the first day of classes and show up with no paper, no pencils or pens, no nothing at all - they think that you do nothing real except show up and leave. And when this said kid asks you to borrow a pen and a piece of paper you think to yourself 'what moron shows up to school with out the necessity's'. Well folks, today, I was that moron. I don't even want to talk about how stupid I felt or the fact that I have always complained about "that" kid. I am now a walking hypocrite. It's too bad.

So .. the first day of classes are going pretty well. I have one more left at 4, and then I am done for the day. I somewhat hate the first week because it's all sitting around getting syllabuses, filling out paperwork, and you get out early. naturally I would love to get out of class early.. and get some more work done between classes, but you have nothing to do because it's the first week so you must then sit around and wait for your next class! Oh well. I got some sun and some gooood excercise walking around this beautiful campus.

Back to school.

2009-09-08T13:53:00.004-04:00

I start school back up again tomorrow eek. I am pretty excited to get back - to get finished! And just so you all know I only spent $175.12 on my books!!! That was exciting. I am hoping that there won't be any other random pop up expenses. I have also devised a plan to hopefully outsmart the campus police when it comes to parking! I will let you all know how it goes.

I am going to start crafting again and hopefully so much. I have a lot of down time during classes at school so I am hoping to get all my school work done, while I am actually there. And then when I am home I can craft, so I can make some money. Bartending won't be often.. once or twice a week, and getting a little girl I sit for off the bus three or four days a week.. will hopefully cover my gas expenses and my loan payments. And then my side babysitting job - that hopefully keeps with me, will cover other debts that I am trying to erase. And then my crafting will help with that and the fun things I want to do in between all this chaos. I must say I am going to be a busy bee, and I need to get to that gym too! I am devising a schedule for it all to work out though! .. I was actually doing that before I decided to update.

Well.. I suppose that I should get back to tending this (empty)bar and watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch!

A peace treaty.

2009-09-03T22:34:00.004-04:00

SORRY really I promise, I will be back hardcore ... SOON!

But for now to make up for my disappearance.. get over to Ashley's Allowance and get on this giveaway! It's for a $10 gift card to stop and shop! Who doesn't love free money? .. get on it! If you do.. I will be back to post ;) .. either way I will.. but hey what an incentive, right??

And just so you all know, I start school back up on the 9th! Eek. I am pretty excited to get back and going again. Even though I have to pay $160 for a parking pass! I am sure some of you feel my pain! But.. next time I will totally tell you how kick ass I was on saving so much money on my books! You will all be so proud! Lets just say it certainly saved me enough to pay for the stupid parking pass.. but don't I wish that it was free to park like all the other campuses I have been to! .. enough about that though, I don't want to bring you all down on my parking situation! Anyways! I have to get back to hanging up these blinds in my bedroom.. that's a whole other story.. BOO. Be back soon :) Pinky promise!

School Funds.

2009-08-24T22:49:00.003-04:00

Paying for school is a total bummer.. but what is worse is the amount of money you have to ALSO spend on the books. And all the other expenses that come along with it! I have been trying to find the best prices on books all night, and on three books I will have to spend about $300. I know all of you college students out there know exactly what I am talking about and I am sure you can empathize. Does anyone know of any good sites that might have good text book deals? Please let me in on it! I have needed to do some laundry and put some clothes away, and I can't get myself to get into that laundry room - my motivation today is lacking! I think after work tomorrow, I am totally gonna go get a hair cut! I am in need of one so bad! I hate paying for it though! I know how to cut hair.. why can't one of my friends know the trade as well. Boo! I guess this whole post I am complaining about money? I really want to go to a rock wall climbing gym! I have no one that wants to go with me though! I will have to be in search of a friend this school year for that I suppose. I need to go through some things, and get them down to the consignment shop tomorrow morning. I feel like I have one million things to do this week! Although I am probably exaggerating quite a bit. My little sister and myself made a slip and slide the other day, and ran through the sprinkler - this picture is her having a fun time in the sprinkler, we had a lot of fun and a lot of bruises and aches the next day! But it was totally worth it ! So if you ever get the chance you make your own slip in slide with soap, water, and a tarp! I feel like this post is everywhere. I just realized that tomorrow evening is my only time off till sunday! I have to bartend and babysit every day! Oh well! Clearly this post shows that I need to make some money! haha OH and today - I had a doctors appt that the office had made me reschedule three times! They usually call me the day before and say sorry an emergency has come up .. whatever. I go there today to finally have my appointment and they said " I am sorry but we are going to have to reshchedule, again." Normally I don't lose my cool, things happen. But I just wanted to yell at them and tell them that they owe me $25 for everytime they have cancelled on me, because that's what they charge you if you don't let them know with a 24 hour notice, those jerks! So I told them to give me a new doctor and am supposed to go in for Friday right before work.. hopefully I make it in time to open. And they better not charge me a dime! I couldn't believe it! I even joked to myself on the way there thinking it would be so funny if they cancelled it, but.. it wasn't funny at all when it actually happened. Well this post is getting too long, and I don't want to lose your attention so I will zip my mouth up until next time!

No worries.

2009-08-12T14:45:00.001-04:00

I have been MIA for quite some time now! I guess I have been busy with fun? Or bartending? Or babysitting? I am not really quite sure! I will soon be back though - no worries please :)

Doogie Howser

2009-06-28T14:08:00.006-04:00

Yesterday I had the pleasure of chasing around this beautiful little monster for eight hours! I was certainly one tired individual but it was certainly worth it. I was ready for a drink when I got done with the party but instead got some Subway instead, certainly saved myself an extreme amount of calories there. While eating this delicious Subway sandwich, I sat and visited with my sister. I thought her little dog was licking my toes, for a good few minutes, until I realized that her dog was sitting on the couch with us. I looked down and shreiked.. a HUGE june bug ( I think that's what they are called - those gigantic beetles) was crawling all over my toes!!! Ashley started killing it, because I unfortantly refuse to kill bugs, and beetles unless I can't get them outside quick enough. It wouldn't die and it's guts were flying - it was an unenjoyable disgusting experience to say the least. This morning I went to a STOP class to get TIPS certified so I can bartend at my dads bar, so that was an exciting loss of two hours and $40 - but none the less exciting. I have to be to work in fourty minutes and let me tell you this is not something I am looking forward to.. but oh well! You gotta do what you gotta do, right? Did I mention that my closet is almost complete? So that means soon (hopefully) my room will be decluttered! One last bit to say before work - there is a boy that works at my local Rite Aid as a pharmacy tech and he is Doogie Howser to a T, I really want to take a picture to prove it! .. but that's enough for now! I hope every has a lovely productive or relaxing (if you wish) day!

Running on E.

2009-06-26T23:18:00.005-04:00

I am really trying to clean this room, but I have been on and off napping all night after working from 6am - 2 today! Ugh. I think that I am getting sick, I have this horrible cough that hurts my chest so bad. I started to take some medicine, even though it tastes so awful and then the taste sticks to your lips and you continue to have the horrid goop hanging around for hours till it's time to take it again. Boo. Hopefully it clears up by tomorrow? That would be nice! I am also in the process of making a little budget book, and I am pretty excited about that and starting to get all my expenses and debt squared away. Although I keep getting distracted and continue to fail at beating Minesweeper on the expert level! My goal is to clean and organize my huge closet before I lay my head on the pillow and cuddle with my baby boo boo.

I wish this is how it would look!!

.. A girl can dream right?? I feel like someday this room will finally be organized and make me happy when I walk into it! It's been almost six months - this is not acceptable! With all seriousness, it's time to get cracking.

Being honest.

2009-06-25T09:04:00.003-04:00

So yesterday I went to babysit an overnight for my favorite little family. I took a shower and got ready and decided that I would just leave my hair curly because there was no reason to make it all nice. I hadn't been there in about a month, actually lets say a month and a half. The first thing that Elaina (the 2 year old) says to me is, "I don't like your hair like that." Not 'hello!' or 'I missed you!' haha she acted like I just came in from walking the dog or something and that I was there all this time and came in with a new do. She proceeded to tell me almost every hour that she just didn't like my hair that way. What a way to be blunt right? she usually trys to brush it or play with my clip, but this time, she wanted nothing to do with it. Although this morning she tried to brush it and just kept laughing at me, I suppose whatever amuses her, even when I am in pain, is ok.

I came home at about eight fifteen and threw some laundry in, I hope it is done soon! I have to leave here at about 9:30 to head and get my free Aerie gift *crosses fingers that they still have one for me* - and if it's stupid lip gloss, I swear I will go bananas! And I have to get a new glue gun. Then I have work at noon, fabulous. I am one tired ball of chub right now!

But it's time to finish getting ready and continue this lovley rainy day.. and I will leave you with this question, WHEN will the sun come out!?!?

2009-06-23T11:18:00.004-04:00

So Ashley, my sister said I hadn't blogged in a while after I told her that she and Amanda hadn't! SO.. I just checked, and I guess she was right! I didn't realize!!! A lot has been going on maybe? I am not sure.. but I don't know.

But I do want to say (even though it's late), happy birthday to my most favorite nephew Jacob!!! I love you!!!

Irritated.

Away We Go

2009-06-17T01:09:00.001-04:00

I have been seeing previews for the movie Away We Go, and I want to see it SO bad. The unfortunate thing is that it's only playing in select theater .. please tell me why! And the closest one to me that it's playing at is an hour and thirty minutes away.. BOO. But I will provide you with the movie trailer if you have yet been fortunate enough to have it's presence grace you!

This is going to be quick.

2009-06-16T15:40:00.000-04:00

I FINALLY called and got my debit card squared away! I am so happy!!!!!!!

I actually need to go to the bank now to straighten something else out, witch I will be more then happy to rant about later on today.

So for now, this is my update.. but expect much from me later!

Grabing/linking/making buttons.

2009-06-08T22:31:00.001-04:00

SO I just spent the better part of my time trying to make a button for my site, and then trying to link it correctly. I asked my sister about it, and she referred me to this site. I found it very helpful, and I thought I would share her instructions! (I tweaked a little bit, for you to follow it a little easier) -

"These directions are meant for blogger. To grab a button:

copy the html code from the button you want
open your blogger account and choose "layout"
click "add a gadget"
choose "html" and you'll get a blank box
paste the code you have copied in the box
click save

That's it! The new button should be on your blog. Go ahead, give it a try with ours. :-) To make your own button:

to actually make your own button, you'll need a photo program like Adobe
a standard square button size is 125 x 125, so when you open a new document, set the canvas size to 125 x 125 pixels
put your images and text on the button
save as a gif (jpeg is generally used for photos, but will work & some sites will ask for it specifically)
save your image on a website like www.photobucket.com

To put a "grab our button" on your blog:

copy the following html code.

open your blogger account and choose "layout"
click "add a gadget"
choose "html" and you'll get a blank box
paste the code you have copied in the box
change my information to your information- the url of the blog, the name of the blog, and the link to your image. (You'll need to go back to photobucket or wherever you saved your image and get the direct link code.)
click save

Good luck!"

I hope that they were as useful to you, as they were to me! If you have any questions just ask! I can probably help you out!

Squishy Cash

2009-06-08T21:50:00.000-04:00

So, I am back! Not that I had anyone really reading this or anything.. So I know I wasn't missed - But I now hope you (someone) is reading this! So, thank you!

I am extremely lazy and tired right now - even too lazy and tired to really even type out a real blog. I worked at six am this morning and only got like 2 1/2 hours of sleep! Boo to that! But I did spend a fun night at the casino with the boy!

Anyways for now, I just want to put this link up to this cool thing my sister guided me to, SquishyCash! If you don't already have an account you should totally follow this link and sign up under my referral! It's legit, and seems like a pretty easy way to get on some easy cash over time! SO here it is :

If you have any questions concerning squishy cash, I will do my best to steer you in the right direction! But it's now time to go exhaust myself some MORE @ the gym, and then reward myself with tanning! :) So everyone have a nice night!

It's been quite some time.

2009-06-08T20:10:00.000-04:00

So I just found out my sister has been blogging on how to save money, and where to get the deals - after seeing it, it made me really want to start blogging again as well as follow with the blogging world a little more! So soon I will be updating you on random bits of my life, as well as some money saving ideas that I get from her site as well!

Motivation.

2009-04-10T18:39:00.000-04:00

I decided that I really need to get this bedroom of mine clean, and somewhat decluttered so I can start using my eliptical and get my crafting on. My room is in a new place since I came home from school in Vermont and it's not a "real" room I guess you would say, so it's hard to really get it to look & feel right. I spent most of the day cleaning it and doing laundry. All that is left for the most part is hooking up all the electronics, sweeping, mopping, and vaccuming/washing the stairs. There will be some disturbing before pictures, and some pretty pleasing after pictures soon to come!

I think it's about time ...

2009-04-09T23:20:00.000-04:00

With all this hype of "going green" I decided that I needed my own change in this world. So.. I invented this new concept with the help of the "going green" phrase, I am "going fresh."

This is going to be a spot for me to talk about my life, my trials in it, my fails in it, and of course all the upsides in it. Hopefully "going fresh" will help me get a job that I have needed since January 2009, which will help me get out of $5,000 of credit card debt along with an unmentionable about of school loan debt .. which reminds me that I should finish school.

Hopefully this will help along with, getting some feedback, some hope, and some strength I will get along in life as happy as I have been! With of course some new upsides to life as well, once the things dragging it down a little go away!
