Leavin on a jet plane...

2010-04-12T23:33:00.000-07:00

So I left today! I decided to route myself through Chicago instead of Dallas like I normally do. I really only did it because I had never been to that airport before and wanted to see it lol. I don't think I will be doing that again...but I guess it's really just picking the lesser of two evils lol. If I go through Dallas they will bring my luggage on a later flight...If I go through Chicago they have limited power outlets/internet AND they will DELAY my flight! UGH! Finally made it home and and ready to go to bed, tomorrow is going to be a long day!

Final shabang!

2010-04-11T23:27:00.000-07:00

So tonight is my last night here at home. I spent the day with the family and hangin out with my brother. We had breakfast together and just hung out. Later that night my mom, Ben, Justen, and I all went to the cheesecake factory for dinner. It was really good and I had a great time! I'm really going to miss them a lot but hopefully they will be able to come out to Arkansas for Christmas. Going home tomorrow!!! Like I said I will miss everyone but I am kind of ready to go home and get back to work and back into my routine!

all but one....

2010-04-10T23:23:00.000-07:00

So tonight I met up with Rachel & Tommy, Jill & Steve, and....SHANNON!!! Who I ran into at IN N Out! Crazy girl didn't tell anyone she was there but I found her! LOL!! SO we all met up at starbucks tonight and just sat there and talked for like 3 hours! IT was so nice to have us all together again, but we were short 1! Angela!!! I miss you SOOOO MUCH!!! I'm going home in a few days and I will really miss everyone!

Angel Game!

2010-04-09T23:18:00.000-07:00

Went to the Angels game tonight with my good friend Ruby and had a GREAT time! They lost which sucks but it was nice being there in that stadium! I really miss going to the games!!

Downtown Disney

2010-04-08T23:48:00.000-07:00

I went to Downtown Disney today and met up with Jill, Rachel and Tommy and had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. It was good and nice to see them all! After lunch Tommy went to work and the girl and I went shopping and sat and just talked for awhile. I miss them sooo much and it was great to be with them! We were just missing 2 :( I'm hoping to see them again on Sunday! Later that night I met up with my friend Jessica who I really haven't seen since I actually left California :( we headed down to 2nd St in Long Beach, neither one of us were really hungry so we went to Le Creperie and sat on the sidewalk all french cafe style lol. We had a bottle of wine and a desert crepe it was yummeh and it was really great to catch up with her! She's gonna be graduating from the design program after 6 years in another month! So proud of her! :D

The Runaways :D

2010-04-07T23:43:00.000-07:00

So I lost my camera on Saturday :( It sucked!! I went to TWO Best buys with my friend Danny looking for the new one I wanted...I finally got it at the one in cerritos and I got a 1o% discount just because the box had been opened before :D Then we went to dinner at Lucilles because he loves that place lol and we went and just messed around until our movie started. We went and saw the Runways and I really liked it alot! Now I have freakin cherry bomb and crimson and clover stuck in my damn head!!! UGH! It was really great to see Danny and hang out! It had been a really long time! :(

Just a day at the beach ;D

2010-04-06T23:35:00.000-07:00

Today was awesome! I went with my mom and had lunch at Murphys on Main St in Seal Beach and had the best fish and chips EVA! lol then we walked down the pier and had ice cream and went shopping! It was a beautiful day too perfect for a walk on the pier! It was clear and warm which was a nice reprieve from the cold weather Arkansas had recently had :D I LOOOOVE the cold but every now and then you just need a nice warm day ;)

REAL Mexican Food!

2010-04-05T23:29:00.000-07:00

So today i went to my old office and had lunch with my good friend Ruby! We went to this tiny little hole in the wall mexican place in Garbage Grove aka Garden Grove. It was SOOO good! I've been craving this chile rellenos forever! The Mexican food in Arkansas is just not up to par! Then I went and saw the Last Song with my mom which of course was a typical Nicholas Sparks movie....SAD!!!! but it was good! :D

Easter EARTHQUAKE!!!

2010-04-04T23:20:00.000-07:00

So today was easter! it was a good day! Family, friends, yummeh italian food, and....earthquakes? Yeah we were standin in the kitchen when all of a sudden the ground was a rollin and the pool was a sloshin!! It wasn't a big shaker but a roller so it wasn't TOOO bad but it was centered in Mexicali, CA which is about as far south as you can go so it was a pretty big one since we felt it all the way up here! :/

I tried my hand at the slots again and was kinda pissed at myself when my $20 got down to $3 but then I hit a bonus and turned my original $20 into $40! :D So I was glad! I stopped at that point and kept my money lol. After that we left the hotel and headed home. We stopped off in Memphis on the way home to eat at this Vietnamese place, it was SOOOOO good! We all got a beef pho and that was just my left overs but it was yummy and I def will eat it again! :D Back to work tomorrow then Friday I am off to CALI!! WOOT WOOT!!!

We had a great day, went shopping at an outlet mall and I got 2 pairs of new shoes! :D I needed some new flats and got some sandals for the summer and my vaca to Cali! I started my weekend with $60 and I played a bit on the slots with Stephanie, I lost $40 and she won my $40 lol! I bought in at the blackjack table with my last $20 and ended up walking away with $120! Great night!!! :D

2010-03-26T20:24:00.000-07:00

So today was my Birthday! It was a pretty good day for the most part. I had to work 7-4 which kinda sucked and there was a bit of drama at work but whateves. Some of my friends decorated my desk and such which was nice, it put a smile on my face when I came in at 6:45Am which at that hour is hard to do lol...After work I met my granparents at Carinos for dinner which was YUMMEH!! Came home and took a nap and then left for Tunica with my friend Stephanie for the weekend!! :D

Rubber band Ball saves the day!

2010-03-20T19:18:00.000-07:00

So today was my FUUUUN meeting at work and by fun I mean boring and craptactular! The lady who leads the meetings brings little knick knacks to play with and I spent most of the meeting yawning and playing with this rubberband type ball. After my oh so fun meeting I moseyed on over to Target to get NEW FREAKIN MOON!! That's right I got the 3 disc edition! WOOT WOOT!!! Then I had lunch with Steph and then went home and took a nap which I haven't done in FOREVER! Went to dinner with some friends and out to Disco for my birthday...I had fun, people bailed because of the rain so it wasn't as big a group as it should have been but it was fun none the less...Counting down til CA!

Happy St Patty's Day!

2010-03-17T19:29:00.000-07:00

So today was St. Patrick's day, still trying to get used to working my morning shift. Everyone is always surprised when they ask if i just love having this morning shift and I say a big HELL NO! Doesn't everyone know I'm nocturnal? I hate morning time! The only time it is acceptable for me to see 6AM is when I am going to bed....

Anyways after work I headed over to my aunt and uncles house for some family time and some good old corned beef and cabbage! I don't think there has ever been a St Patty's Day I haven't had that <3 MWAH!

SOOOO TIRED!!!

2010-03-16T20:12:00.000-07:00

So last night I didn't sleep at all. Like, literally I didn't go to bed! I am started my new 8-5 hours today and last night I was not able to go to sleep at all, it's hard going from pretty much being nocturnal to having to be up at 6 for work. UGH! FML! I barely made it through the day and the only reason I did was because my friend Stephanie brought me a red bull thank god cause i was beginning to crash at about 2...When I got home I was OUT by 8:15!!! SLEEEEP!!!

Yeah!

2010-03-15T22:42:00.001-07:00

Here's your blog!

Starbucks kind of day!

2010-03-14T23:30:00.000-07:00

So my Sunday's are usually devoted to sleep and staying in my pj's all day! LOL but today I met my friend Fallon at Starbucks and her and I just chatted away for forever lol. I wish starbucks still did this on their cups! I always liked their sayings!

Well tomorrow begins another week....another day closer to my birthday and then VACATION!! wooo hoooo Hope you all have a great week!

Remember Me!

2010-03-13T23:25:00.000-08:00

Had a really great day! Had a smoothie delivered when my friend Amanda and katie came over lol then we went to Panera for lunch and ran around town. Then later that night we met up with a bunch of people and ate at the Purple Cow which is this awesome hamburger place and you can get purple shakes haha! After dinner we all went to see Remember Me with my BF Robert in it! haha It was SUCH a good movie and he is SOOOOOO HOT!!! GO see it!

HAHA

2010-03-12T23:24:00.000-08:00

This week went by SUPER fast! Hoping the next 3 go by just as fast so I can go to CALI and get this vacay on the way yo! LOL This pic just made me laugh ahaha

Vacation

2010-03-11T23:04:00.000-08:00

Quiero ir a mi vacaciones ahora!

Weather.....aaagggghhhh

2010-03-10T23:32:00.000-08:00

So today started off pretty good and the day was going by really fast. I went to lunch and I was on the phone with my Dad and he asked me about the weather. I told him it's actually pretty warm and really humid right today and it kind of made me nervous because it was previously pretty cold which is like tornado weather. EK! So when I got back into the office I had a text from a friend like 15 minutes later that said we had tornado warnings in our area. I was a little nervous about it since I am the only supervisor working at night right now. Well, I had a reason to be nervous. We could hear the weather sirens going off in a neighboring city and about 25 minutes away from my work 2 tornados touched down. Then the sirens started going off in the city I work in, which meant we had to take cover just in case. I had to move everyone to the back of the building until the sirens went off, luckily it was only like 10 minutes and then we all had to get back to work. When we closed all i wanted to do was go home before it started to hit the area I live in, but no this girl got stuck on the phone with this douche monkey of a client that loves to call right before we close and keep people on the phone for 30 minutes. Then when I finally got off work 30 minutes late I remembered I had to get gas and by that time it was pouring so hard and I got water in my shoes. So when I finally got home I was needless to say pretty ecstatic about it....

Late Nights...

2010-03-09T22:41:00.000-08:00

So for a tuesday today was actually a really good day! There was no need to go around and sucker punch people in the junk. I was able to get caught up on a lot of work that I was behind on with all the craziness that has been going on at work. After work I stayed up SUPER late on skype with my dad and my sister. Skype is SO AWESOME! That is all ;)

Monday Monday.....

2010-03-08T23:00:00.000-08:00

Today was just an all around crapptacular day at work....nuff said....

At least I got to talk to my sister and dad today ;)

Iphone :D

2010-03-07T23:51:00.000-08:00

So here is my Iphone! I LOVE IT SO MUCH! The plan for today was to stay home in my pj's and do nothing at all...unfortunately I forgot that I had to go to walmart and go grocery shopping since I had no food for the week...So I ended up going to the Walmart in town since I like that one better and I hung out with my friend Stephanie for a bit. It was fun but then I went home and watched the Oscars! :D YAY! lol

New tattoo!!

2010-03-06T23:49:00.000-08:00

So it was a really busy day!!! I went and got an Iphone finally!! I've been bitching about it since they came out since I had verizon! Well i finally just paid to get out of my contract and went to At&T so I could get my beloved iphone lol and I got the 32GB 3gs I had to one up my dad and my sister! haha!!! MUAH! Then I went and got my new tattoo!! Which i am in LOVE with! The guy who did it was really excited about it and had me go around the shop and show everyone there lol, he said it was his favorite piece he's done so far this year! After that I headed out to Little Rock and saw Alice in Wonderland which was pretty good, I'm not jumping up and down or anything but it was good...

WOOT WOOT!

2010-03-05T23:26:00.000-08:00

So I filled up my gas tank today in my new car for the first time! It was nice not having to pay almost $50 to fill up the tank for 4 or 5 days of driving. This car gets pretty good gas mileage and it's freakin AWESOME! This week was super long and super busy! Each day individually went by fast but the week as a whole seemed to last foreeeeeverrr!!!!!! ready to get this weekend started!!! Gonna try and get an Iphone tomorrow and then I am getting my new tattoo and gonna see Alice In Wonderland! SO EXCITED! YAY!!! Pics of the tat will surface tomorrow ;)

EH

2010-03-04T23:25:00.000-08:00

------------------>

Yeap....that's how I feel about doing my blog today.....

Here ya go!

2010-03-03T23:28:00.000-08:00

So yesterday my sister said that I should take all my make up off before I video chat with her haha. So here is me with out my make up....just for her! LOL Love yas! ;)

Today was another long day....it's gonna be this way for the rest of this month...I have a feeling I am going to me more ready for this vacation than originally anticipated. I can't wait to head home, I need to recharge my California batteries :D then the count down will officially begin for my trip to Hawaii. I am seriously excited to go and see everyone!

Ahhh, well...Hump day is over....only 2 more days! Then the weekend!!! Which means TATTOO TIME! :D

My Desk

2010-03-02T23:04:00.000-08:00

I've been meaning to take a picture of my new desk at work and I love how on the BUSIEST day ever I actually get this done lol. I took it right before I left...hence the emptiness LOL. All the supervisors and leads are cross training in another department that I used to work in and so Sr. management decided to schedule all the supervisors for this training at the same time leaving me by myself! It was so hectic and busy I was BARELY able to get my normal day to day duties. It was insane!!!! So yeah, anyways....that's my desk...time for bed kids!!

XOXO Jax XOXO

YUM!

2010-03-01T23:03:00.000-08:00

So by request by my sister I am posting another picture of Rob lol, i'm sure none of you are complaining though haha!

It was seriously busy at work today, it hasn't been that busy in a long time and on top of that I had a ton of end of month reports to do and learn and it just took forever! After work I headed to the gym, had a good work out then came home and stayed up all night as usual, except as of late it's been talking to my sister and my dad. I've been having the best time! Things are really starting to look up for me, new position at work, paying off my credit cards, buying a car, meeting my family and I honestly haven't been this happy in a long time ;)

:D

2010-02-28T23:20:00.000-08:00

SO I posted this pic for my sister :D LOL she likes rob too! Reconnecting with my dad and my sister has been great! It's crazy how much you can have in common with someone you've never met! When I talk to my sister it's like I've known her for years! It's awesome and I am so glad she found me. I can't wait to meet my other sister, she's only 7 but I'm sure she's just as awesome! ;) I can't wait to meet my dad and my niece and everyone! I foresee this as being the best summer of my life so far ;)

I BOUGHT A CAR!!!!!!

2010-02-27T23:10:00.000-08:00

So today I went car shopping, and I wasn't expecting to actually BUY a car. I was thinking I was just going to test drive a bunch of stuff and then go back next weekend and purchase. I ended up going to toyota and test drove the corolla. I really liked it and ended up buying one. I got a 2010 Toyota Corolla sport, it's so pretty and it's black on the inside and I have a place to plug my ipod in!!!! WIN! I got a good deal on it and I am REALLY happy with it!! LOVE IT!! Can't wait to drive it more tomorrow :D

Lost...and found....

2010-02-26T23:56:00.000-08:00

So today was the most surreal day of my life! My long lost sister found me on myspace which was crazy enough but on the same night we reconnected with our father....it was definitely a weird night. I kept thinking at any moment Ashton Kutchar was going to come running in and tell me I was being punked....and at that I would have sucker punched him in the junk. All in all it was a good night. surreal....but good...

And again...

2010-02-25T23:37:00.000-08:00

Once again I have nothing of importance to say...My new job is keeping me SUPER busy and I've been pretty drained lately. Gotta get up early tomorrow but I've been told i'm not allowed to complain about it since I am going to pick up money from my attorney from my settlement..but whatever! BOO!!! Gotta go car shopping this weekend...EK! 35 days until I leave for CA! I MISS YOU!!! that is all...

Yeah.....

2010-02-24T23:17:00.000-08:00

So I really had nothing to say today....

YAY!

2010-02-23T22:28:00.000-08:00

So today was another BUSY day just as anticipated. Lots of emails, questions, and meetings. I hate getting gas BLAH! I had to get gas after work tonight and I almost forgot LOL. I would have had to stop in the morning. BAHAHAH! Yeah right! I was a little bummed this morning when Grandma told me Gage wouldn't be here tonight. But I was super excited when he WAS here when I got home! He is so dang cute and I had fun playing ball with him tonight! :D

HUMP DAY tomorro! :D

BUSY!

2010-02-22T22:26:00.000-08:00

So today I moved into my new desk. It was a VERY busy day!!! I am still kind of doing my old job while attempting to do and learn my new job....It was a super crazy day and i'm sure the rest of the week will end up this way....TIRED!

Rainy Day! :D

2010-02-21T20:00:00.000-08:00

So it rained a lot today which is cool, I do love the rain! :D I went to the movies and saw Shutter Island....my advice...WAIT FOR DVD! I didn't really care for it! BLEH! Oh well, some people liked it, some people didn't...I usually stay home and have a lazy Sunday but since I didn't and I actually left the house I wore my new chucks! :D Oh and I went to Walmart, oh joy!

Tomorrow is Monday which means work which means BOOOO!!! Have a great week everyone! :D

Red Bull..helps you not kill people

2010-02-20T23:51:00.000-08:00

So because I got promoted at work I had to go to a leadership meeting at 8:30 today! UGH! 8:30 on a SATURDAY?!? It really was kind of a good meeting though, very insightful even on 3 hours of sleep. After that I went to lunch, hung out with some friends, went to the mall and went home. I got some new chucks which I haven't had in awhile since I had to get rid of my old ones a long time ago lol. Fun exciting day! :D

The sky is the limit!

2010-02-19T23:28:00.000-08:00

SO about a week and a half ago at work there was a job posting for a supervisor position in my old department, and a bunch of people had told me I should apply for it. I went ahead and applied for it along with about 11 other people. Knowing who else was applying for it I thought I had absolutely NO CHANCE in getting it. But I had nothing to lose, so I applied anyways. I didn't really tell anyone that I applied for it because I didn't think i was going to get it so I thought it really didn't matter. I came into work today and I was actually a few minutes late because I overslept and I got called in to the Operations officer's office and he offered ME the job!! I was so freakin shocked it's not even funny!!! So yeah, the day I was late to work I get a MAJOR promotion with a nice hefty raise ;)

Plane Ticket....OBTAINED!

2010-02-18T23:42:00.000-08:00

Thursday! YAY! That means tomorrow is Friday! WOOT!! Today was busy at work, lots of meetings and such. The day kind of dragged but it's over now and Tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!! The best thing about today? I bought my plane ticket to go to California for a visit on April 2nd!! I will officially be there Friday April 2nd at 11:55PM! :D I'm soooo excited! :D

HAPPY FRIDAY! :D

New curtains....wooooo

2010-02-17T23:55:00.000-08:00

So yeah Wednesday! WOOT! Hump day!!! Only 2 more days until the weekend! :D Work today was work...as usual....when i got off I ran to walmart...Got some new curtains because i got a new bedspread a few weeks ago and my curtains were green and did NOT go with my bedspread. So I finally got some black ones and they have a lining so i am hoping they help block out the sun in the morning! That's all for today kids...I'll try and be more entertaining next time....blah!

XOXO Jax

Yeah....it's Tuesday...

2010-02-17T01:58:00.001-08:00

So yeah, It's Tuesday....I hate Tuesday's....No matter what week it is I am generally always in a craptacular mood on Tuesday...We were really busy at work today and I think that is because a lot of people thought we were closed for Presidents Day yesterday....WE WERE NOT! UGH! :/ Oh well today was a pretty uneventful boring day...On to hump day! ;)

Just another Manic Monday....wish it was Sunday...

2010-02-15T23:28:00.000-08:00

So yeah, it was Monday....No one likes those...BOO! I had a pretty bad headache most of the day. Today surprisingly went by fast and then towards the end slowed up a bit because I was anxious to get off work. Most of the snow is melted and gone but there are random piles in parking lots. This Pile was in the parking lot at my office and from a far it looked like a whale fin in the ice and I laughed really hard for some reason and felt compelled to take a picture of it. LOL.. Don't judge! haha

That is all for today :/

Another one bites the dust.....

2010-02-14T23:07:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentines Day! I guess lol! I kinda forgot it was valentines day! Today was my typical Sunday. I stayed home. I didn't really do anything though. I watched Whip it and took a shower...LOL My friend Tricia came over and we went to dinner at Mi Ranchito then came back here and watched I love You, Man! I LOVE THAT MOVIE!

I've been meaning to color my hair now for like 3 weeks...this color has been sitting on my bookshelf for like a month and I still haven't done it.... *sigh* maybe next weekend...we shall see! Another week bites the dust...one week closer to April and my visit to CA! Oh well, Have a good week lovlies! :D

Yeah I know, I have a thing for Animal Print....

2010-02-13T22:01:00.000-08:00

Today I went to Panera Bread for lunch with some friends. I swear I am obsessed with that place right now. It's soo good. We sat at Panera for like 2 hours talking and having a good time, then we went out to Park Plaza Mall in Little Rock so we could go to Sephora...I ended up doing Mary and Amanda's make up while we were there lol they looked really hawt :) Went to Barnes N Noble had some coffee and then headed on over to Target. It was so busy in there! Lots of last minute Valentines Day shoppers! I got a bag to carry my computer in...yeah I have a thing for animal prints...I just can't help myself lol

Watchin Whip it now :D love it!

Popcorn Free Purse...

2010-02-12T23:48:00.000-08:00

So Today went by pretty fast which was nice, work wasn't cancelled like everyone thought it was going to be. Seems like the snow had enough of our area and skipped us when it came back for round two on Thursday night. After work I went to the movies and saw Law Abiding Citizen. It was a good movie, the beginning was a little graphic and ugh made me wanna be sick but all in all it was a good movie...Oh and even though SEXY Gerard Butler was on the screen and I STILL text in the movie lol there was no popcorn in my purse this time LOL

Sweatshirt kind of day....

2010-02-11T23:54:00.000-08:00

So I had to work 8-5 today to cover for a girl who works in the morning since she had an appointment today. So if you know me and if you're reading this i'm sure that you do, you understand that I am NOT a morning person in any way shape or form...I was not looking forward to having to get up early but I'll do it for a friend especially since I don't have to do it everyday. Well when i set my alarm I set it for PM instead of AM soooooo I was late! BLAH! Other than that the day went by relatively fast which was nice. We were supposed to get some more snow tonight and possibly tomorrow but as of now there is none which means work tomorrow YAY!! <---insert sarcasm here. Ahh well, at least it's Friday! :) That is all for now! Go have a drink and enjoy yourself now! ;)

Check the LABELS!

2010-02-10T22:38:00.000-08:00

So it was back to work for me today and after being closed over the weekend and then Monday AND Tuesday we were SUPER busy! Looks like we might be getting more snow tomorrow night and Friday too. But luckily the day went by really fast! :D After work I had to stop and get some medicine for Gage, poor baby had a fever and was throwing up. Well I got some Triaminic because I couldn't find any regular children's Tylenol. Well when I got home the poor thing threw up all over the floor, I cleaned him up and changed him. When we went to give him the medicine it said not recommended for children under 4 UGH! So off to google I went! They said it was ok in a smaller dosage. So he got his medicine and I held him for a bit then he laid down and went to sleep. Makes your <3 hurt when kids are sick.

Laundry Day YAY!

2010-02-09T23:17:00.000-08:00

SO I was at home again today because of the snow. I should be able to go back to work tomorrow which will be good because I don't get paid for these snow days that I love so much :( So since I was stuck at home again I decided it was LAUNDRY DAY! YAY! Other than that I really didn't do much LOL

All I did today was sleep, watch tv, laundry, paroozed the interwebs, and read a bit. Apparently we're supposed to get more snow Thursday and Friday...or maybe it's just Friday...I can't remember LOL but yeah if all this snow doesn't melt we may have another snow day...We shall see!

Monday blues turn sunny.....er....SNOWY!

2010-02-08T21:31:00.000-08:00

So I woke up today and my front yard was covered in snow. Work was cancelled, they were open for a bit in the morning but I called in because it was only getting worse...I'm glad I called in because 30 minutes after I would have gotten there, they closed for the day AND they had to get a tractor to help pull cars out of the parking lot!! HA! I would have been pissed if I drove 30 minutes down there only to work 30 minutes and be sent home, but not before having a damn tractor pull my car out of the driveway! GEZ! I spent the day frolicking in the snow, making demonic snowmen, and cleaning my room....Tomorrow looks like it's gonna be about the same as there is about a foot of snow in the driveway and we're getting more! :D YAY FOR SNOW DAYS!

SUPER FAIL!

2010-02-07T18:18:00.000-08:00

So today was the super bowl...Actually I think it's still going on...I spent the day in my PJ's as I tend to do MOST Sundays. I spent the super bowl watching Twilight and paroozing the internet....I really need to clean my room though, it looks as if a bomb has exploded in here and the pile of laundry has been sitting there for a few days...I guess I should hang it up....eh, maybe later. Ugh I'm really annoyed as well, my top part of my industrial piercing is getting infected out of nowhere for no apparent reason! So i've been puttin peroxide on it....Hopefully it will get better!

Oh well, off to avoid cleaning my room ;)

Errands!

2010-02-06T18:06:00.000-08:00

So today was full of errands! I got up early for my follow up appointment for my contacts. Then I was off! First stop was the mall to get my nails done but my normal guy was busy so I decided to go another time, while I was there I picked up a belated birthday present for a friend ;) then went off for lunch at Panera one of my FAVORITE places to eat! YUM! Then I was off to little rock to the big mall so I could go to my FAVORITE store! SEPHORA! Got a few things I was out of and of course something new lol. Later that night I had dinner with a friend we went to Old Chicago! YUMMEH! All in all in was a fun day! :D

Rollercoaster!

2010-02-06T00:05:00.001-08:00

So I woke up with a fun little head ache....GAH! Went to work and thought it was gonna be a bad day! BUT 1 phone call from my attorney MADE MY FREAKIN DAY! I was in such a good mood for the rest of the day! I'm getting WAY more than we expected out of my settlement, hopefully I can get a car in the next couple of weeks :D Maybe a civic? who knows! But i'm excited!

Went to the movies after work and saw Dear John...disappointed...I didn't even get to cry! Well at the beginning I was sending a message about how freaking HAWT Gerard Butler was in the previews and all that popcorn fell out of my lap and into my purse on the floor....Yeah I was pretty annoyed...Pretty sure there's still some in there :( **sigh**

Sorreh.....

2010-02-04T00:00:00.000-08:00

So yeah I forgot to post on Thursday...sorreh...I've been pretty unmotivated the past few days. I haven't gone to the gym all week and I feel guilty about it. I am SOOOO starting back on Monday!! Apparently I feel asleep with my phone in my bed and it called a few people in the middle of the night....if you were one of those people I'm sorry!!!

That is all!

One of those days....

2010-02-03T23:01:00.000-08:00

So today started out really good. I was in a good mood for most of the day and work wasn't that bad and went by pretty fast. But somewhere around 7:30PM I began coming down from my good mood. I have no idea why, just did. I was really unmotivated and didn't go to the gym. I was really kinda missing Cali tonight...**sigh** I'll be there in April! Can't wait! Just one of those days ya come home and have a beer! Thanks to mah girls who chatted me up tonight! You made it better! :D

YAY For Book Releases

2010-02-02T23:34:00.000-08:00

So I read the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series last year By Laurell K. Hamilton which was 17 books long and I read them all in like 35 days! :D It was really good and just so you know in case you decide you want to read this series the latter books get a little smutty which doesn't bother me at all but you've been forewarned. Anyways the 18th book Flirt came out today! Very exciting AND the next one comes out in June! :D I'm hoping to read this book tomorrow! It will officially be my first book of 2010 which kinda FAILS for me and puts me behind on my goal but i'm not out of my book slump yet and am hoping LKH can pull me from this dark abyss!

I CAN SEE FOR MILES AND MILES AND MILES!

2010-02-01T22:52:00.000-08:00

So today I woke up with the WORST head ache EVER! OMG! So I decided to call out from work because I knew it would make it a million times worse if I went in today. Since my eye appointment was cancelled on Saturday due to the LOVELY weather that I know I asked for I decided to go today. I figured my general lack of the first sense we have was definitely contributing to the pain I was experiencing. So I went today and had my eyes checked and got 2 pairs of glasses and a trial pair of contacts super cheap! They told me that legally I shouldn't be driving without my glasses...ooopps! I guess I was more blind than I thought....Anyways these are my favorite of the two pair of glasses I got. Of course, they're pink lol. The other pair are just general black framed glasses. Also I am surprisingly liking the contacts WAAAAAY more than I had thought I would...I can see SO much more now LOL no more squinting at the TV or signs while driving for me! :D

NEW COMPUTER!

2010-01-31T23:54:00.000-08:00

So I totally almost forgot to update tonight!!!! But the reason is, I bought a new computer today and have been a bit distracted with getting everything set up and i've been illegally reading the Eclipse script lol SHHHH don't tell! But yeah here is my new computer! I got a pretty good deal on it, it's an HP and it is 6GB memory and 500GB memory! I was super excited! YAY for me! No more sharing grandpas computer haha!

oh, and yes...that background is of Edward Cullen playing the piano lol

Worlds Smallest Snowman!

2010-01-30T20:48:00.000-08:00

So it snowed more overnight and it was actually enough to make snowmen! Baby ones, but snowmen none the less! I made a cute little snowman family and put them on our little bench in our flower bed :) I was supposed to have an eye exam today but because of all the ice on the roads my appointment was cancelled so it looks like i've got another week of blindness **le sigh** But I did venture out to Walmart today to get some baking supplies, I was feeling very domestic today! I made a homemade Apple & Pear Crisp from scratch! It was SOOOOOOO good! I think I might make some pumpkin bread tomorrow to take to work on Monday! :D

Snow Day! :)

2010-01-29T15:04:00.000-08:00

So I woke up this morning and the ground was covered in ice and snow. I decided I would tough it out and drag my ass to work even though they were gonna close at 3 because of the weather....Most people called out today and I was there for all of 35 minutes before they said we're closing now, there were cars sliding in the parking lot and we had to go a weird way just to get out so we could leave. I took FOREVER to get home because of all the crazy iced over roads. I was excited to not have to work and the thoughts of possibly building MY first snowman that I would remember making were makin me giddy lol. Well I TRIED to make a snow man but it's to cold and the snow is to dry so it won't stick together! :( FAIL!

I love winter anyways! Wish we got more of it! I guess I love it because we don't get ANYTHING like this in Southern California LOL

Gettin that Itch again....

2010-01-28T23:03:00.000-08:00

So this was my last addition (industrial) I got it a few months ago and it's been about 4 years since I got a new tattoo...It doesn't sounds that long at least in the piercing department but I am really getting the itch to get something new! I have about 4 or 5 tattoos planned out so far and there are DEFINITELY some more piercings I wanna get! I'm trying to get my next tattoo in the next month or two, I think the next one I am gonna get is a pink lotus on my right wrist. :D but I think I am gonna get my tragus pierced on both ears :D we shall see though!

Taxes!

2010-01-27T21:47:00.000-08:00

YAY! I FINALLY got my W-2 from work today! They had originally said it would be available on the 13....ummm yeah, that was 2 freakin weeks ago!!! I am glad however that they finally decided to give them to us! I was about to send the calvary out to locate mine! Glad I didn't have to go that route! So, i'm sending off all my stuff to the tax guy tomorrow! Lets hope I get a lot back and I get it in a timely manner....I have plans for that money! It wont be lasting long lol

Good Luck to all your tax filers! May uncle Sam be good to you! ;)

Flash Back Tuesday!

2010-01-26T23:34:00.000-08:00

So basically I couldn't think of anything fun and interesting to take a picture of today...Sadly I have nothing witty to say...So I have decided to make today FLASHBACK TUESDAY! Soooo here is a picture that is probably a good 8 years old...WOW I look different. But then again I guess we all do after that amount of time. I would like to know where all this time went, I would like some of it back. If you happen to find some of it please send it my way!

While I am on th subject of Tuesday I'll take this opportunity to explain just WHY Tuesday is in fact the WORST day of the week...

Monday-SUCKS we EXPECT it! DUH!

Wednesday-EXCITED it's HUMP DAY! Half way there!

Thursday- WOOT WOOT 1 more day!!!!!

Friday- SUPA EXCITED it's gonna be the weekend

Saturday and Sunday- It's a given, these days are AWESOME! NO WORK! DUH!

And Tuesday...Tuesday JUST BLOWS! There is absolutely NOTHING good about Tuesdays! They suck and there is nothing to look forward to! :(

On the bright side, I have lost 9 pounds so far! :)

Oh sweet sleep how I miss thee....

2010-01-25T21:31:00.000-08:00

ARRRGGHHH!!! Sleep and I have had a pretty rocky relationship lately…Maybe we should seek counseling….I’ve been having troubole getting to sleep a lot lately. Sometimes I get tired enough to sleep but it’s always at really inconvienient times where I can’t sleep or it’s too early to sleep. Over the past 3 days I think I’ve maybe slept about 12 or 13 hours…Usually once I get to sleep I’m out like a freakin light…it’s just that pesky task of GETTING to that state…..BLAH!

Dear Sleep,

I think you misunderstood me when I said I hated you because you were such a waste of time...please come home, I miss you....

Yours,

Sleepless girl

It's a Merlot kinda day...

2010-01-24T17:15:00.001-08:00

So last night I had insomnia to the freakin MAX! I was sooooo wide awake I CLEANED my room did laundry listened a ton of music but sleep was not my friend. I was still up at 7AM when I decided I was just staying up for the day because if I went to sleep then I'd NEVER get to sleep tonight....well I fell asleep around 10 and got up at 1 so I got about 3 hours...Today was pretty much a lazy day which most of my Sundays are, i usually reserve Sunday for LAZYNESS! We all need a little lazy in our life dontcha think?! Anyways we had some family over for dinner tonight and it was really nice, Grandma and I broke out the bottle of Merlot and drank the bottle LOL we had a nice long chat just her and I sitting in the kitchen. I love those moments! Anyways besides my general lack of sleep it was a really nice day! :D

All dressed up and nowhere to go...

2010-01-23T20:52:00.000-08:00

So today did not go according to plan....I got up when I wanted to but did not have the motivation to get out of the house...I finally left at like 2pm and went out to NLR to run my errands. First stop was success vision to get my eyes checked and get some glasses so I don't have to walk around like the blind idiot that I am...Well the Dr. was gone for the day. EARLY! GAH! Wish I could do that...so I thought WHATEVER i'll just go to Lenscrafters and spend a bit more to get it done today, well one of their people called out so I had to schedule an appointment for tomorrow...But I think I'm gonna cancel and just go to success next weekend...Then I went and got my nails done which was actually great they look freaking AWESOME! I was supposed to go out tonight with a bunch of girls from work to this place downtown called On The Rocks but it started raining and everyone bailed...I guess they were afraid they were going to melt? Who knows....SO I was kinda annoyed I didn't get to go out, I was looking forward to that....But hey! I got a new necklace today! That AWESOME mustache comb! haha! LOVE IT!

NEW BEDDING!

2010-01-22T22:27:00.000-08:00

So i've been eying this bedspread at Target for a while annnnnnd I FINALLY GOT IT!!! Isn't it cute!!! :D As soon as I got home I HAAAAD to make my bed! I made it in like RECORD time hahaha! Anyways the one side is zebra (obviously) and the other side is pink leopard! LOL I dunno but I am really excited about this new bedspread LOL but its's cooler than the bamboo one that was on there before! :D YAY!

RAWR!

2010-01-21T22:59:00.000-08:00

So first of all, today was like the longest day EVER! I don't know what was wrong with me today but I was soooo agitated ALL day! I just wanted to sucker punch someone in the junk so bad! Today was filled with stupid people asking stupid questions about stupid things they THEY CAN DO THEMSELVES! The only thing good about today was my work out and my dinner. LOL I've been on this big fish kick lately! MMMM Talapia and broccoli...Thank god tomorrow is Friday! Let's hope it's a better day!

PS...Sorry for the rant, and if you're near by tell your junk not to worry...I wouldn't ACTUALLY do that... :) Happy Friday!

Global Warming at it's Finest....

2010-01-20T22:32:00.000-08:00

So I took this pic a few weeks ago but oh well, it looked like this today...So we are 3 weeks into January and our weather here is freakin WEIRD...No seriously, I think it's bipolar....maybe we should get Arkansas some Lithium....But yeah, in the past 3 weeks we have experienced: FLOODS, Rain, Temperatures below 10 degrees, SNOW, sunny 65 degree weather, and the latest...TORNADO warnings with lots of rain, thunder, and lightening! Seriously it's like they rolled every season and shoved it into 3 weeks of January!

Dear Weather,

Please do be acting normal. Kthxbai!.

Yours,

Annoyed Arkansan who wants SNOW!

NEW SOCKS!

2010-01-19T21:59:00.001-08:00

So when I finally made it to work and sat down I realized....I forgot to pack my socks for the gym! UGH I was so annoyed! I ended up running into Walgreens before heading to the gym. I needed new socks anyways, AND they had PINK toed socks! YAY! LOL Ahhh the little things in life that make us happy...haha! So thats it for my super duper exciting sock adventure! ;)

While everyone else was at home....

2010-01-18T22:58:00.000-08:00

So while pretty much everyone else had today off, I was at work....BLAH! I HAVE A DREAM, and that DREAM is to have more days off....We were actually pretty busy and my desk got a bit messy....don't worry it's clean now! Work went my super fast up until lunch, I decided to go out with my friend Stephanie for lunch. We went to Zaxbys and I got this really yummy salad! After lunch I thought the day would never end! I was just ready to get to the gym, since I didn't get to go on Saturday. Had a really awesome work out! Gonna be there tomorrow! Sorry, today was pretty uneventful. I'll try for a more interesting picture tomorrow....

MMMM SPAGHETTI!

2010-01-17T19:30:00.000-08:00

Now i'm enjoying th Golden Globes! AWWW I LOVE AWARDS SEASON! However watching these things make me cry and I realize how much I become more and more like my mother everyday.... LOL

So I went to the red cross to donate blood today and their website said they were open until 5pm so I went at 3PM....well when my friends and I got there, there was a sign on the door saying they were CLOSED!!! They changed their hours and were only open Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday! UGH! They fail so hardcore for NOT updating their website! It sucks, I was excited and by the time we found out the OTHER place was already closed....ahhhhh! Here's a picture of my arm where the blood WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM! RED CROSS YOU FAIL!

THE RAVE!

2010-01-15T23:35:00.000-08:00

SO tonight I went to the movies, much like any Friday night...Yes I know it's expensive but it's like one of my favorite forms of entertainment!! Tonight I saw "Up In The Air" but I had to go to the theater in Little Rock since it wasn't playing where I normally go and I had been waiting since it came out! Definitely worth the drive out there, and I LOVE this theater...reminds me of home. :) GO SEE UP IN THE AIR! :D

So I got my nails done over the weekend! I'm kinda in love with my black tips and pink line! My good friend Stephanie's boyfriend did them for me! I had told my friend I was thinking about it but wasn't sure because I know how much he doesn't like doing it. Well when I went I asked and he said "I do pink line foe you, I vas gonna do it even if you didn't ask" LOL Stephanie told him about it....But I was happy because I LOVE THEM!!! Also I love having friends who give you discounts! :D

Bookshelf!

2010-01-12T21:07:00.000-08:00

So I got a new bookshelf last week and FINALLY put it together over the weekend! I did it ALL BY MYSELF! I was pretty proud, only had one angry moment where I yelled obscenities lol. The top shelf....ALL BOOKS I NEED TO READ....like I said before...SLACKING!!! Y0ou can't even see the OTHER bookshelf I have around that corner lol...I guess i'm like my grandma...Book nerd! Oh and I am taking all that empty space as an invitation to buy more books!!! hehehe ;)

I ate Jaclyn's food!!!

2010-01-11T21:00:00.000-08:00

So a night or two a week we have my cousin Gage over night. I usually get home around 9:45 and eat dinner, Gage likes to sit in front of me and have me feed him my food. Well he was here tonight and he of course was eating my food and he kept running around the house yelling "I ATE JACLYN'S FOOD" it was the cutest/funniest thing! He's going through a phase where he doesn't want his picture taken so I had to force this one lol...I think it's cute! :D

FREEEEEZING

2010-01-10T20:57:00.000-08:00

So it's been SUPER cold here! Which I LOOOOVE! But when I say cold...I MEAN FREEZING... LITERALLY! Last Thursday night it was 12 degrees and with the wind chill it was a whopping ZERO!!!! The lake in our backyard is frozen over....I do miss the snow though....It only last a few days :(

Ohhhh the Irony...

2010-01-09T21:42:00.000-08:00

So I was at Barnes N Noble tonight and I came across this book and it just made me laugh..."Shoo, Jimmy Choo! The Modern Girls Guide to Spending Less and Saving More" So basically in order to spend less and save more I need to spend more on this book to know how to do it right....OH THE IRONY! I LOVE IRONY SO MUCH! :D hehe

PS...It might be a few days before I update, see below post for reason....but I will take my picture everyday so you may see a few days worth of posts the next time I do one...FYI

I'm just in one of my reading slumps where books just aren't holding my interest right now...I hope I get out of it soon, I need to get back on the ball....There are 9 books there right now and the sad thing is...I have 2 more on my desk at work...BLAH! STOOPID SLUMP!

DEAD PHONE!

2010-01-06T22:10:00.000-08:00

So I went to the gym tonight and all was well with my phone but when I g0t in the car it wouldn't let me press any buttons and then the battery died! When I finally got it on the charger the phone wont even turn on now and the buttons aren't registering when you push them!!! I've even tried taking out the battery....UGH! I don't know what i'm gonna do! I rely on my phone SOOOOO MUCH! Alarm clock, phone, email, internet usage at work, and so much more! RAWR!!!!! I HATE YOU DEAD PHONE BE ALIVE AGAIN!

Team Lift!

2010-01-05T23:10:00.000-08:00

So this picture only took me 6 tries to upload! Anyways! Today was PAY DAY! YAY!! Got my bills paid EW! So i've been wanting to get a new book shelf for a while now and I my friend had told me about this one she got at Walmart for $30! Since today was pay day it was also grocery day at walmart and since I just HAPPENED to be there I picked up the shelf i've been wanting! Thanks to my secret santa at work I only paid $10 for it! :D The box was pretty big and I tried to get it but it was sooo darn heavy, luckily I had Fiona with me and I was like I think we're gonna have to do this together. I turned the box on its side and saw the team lift sticker....I found it HIGHLY amusing for some reason....ENJOY!

Time....

SO when I woke up this morning I was super tired because I only got 4 hours of sleep...YAY FOR INSOMNIA! But there was snow EVERYWHERE and it was STILL snowing big fluffy flakes! I was HOPING today would be a good day...HA! I had to work an additional 2 hours MANDATORY over time at work AND they cut our hour lunch breaks down to 30 minutes! Usually on these days I am ok with the over time and time goes by super fast...well today was NOT like that! It was SOOOO busy, busier than I have ever seen it and time was crawling by at snails pace! LONGEST DAY EVER AND the snow melted! UGH! At least it's supposed to snow more this week...Here's to hoping today doesn't set the tone for the rest of the week...

It FINALLY snowed!!

So this afternoon I was sitting at the computer and my I hear my grandma say "Jaclyn, it's snowing outside" I immediately jumped out of the chair ran to my room threw on my angels hoodie and the first shoes I could find...I ended up outside in leggings, an Angels hoodie, 1 black house shoe, and 1 leopard flat...My room looked like a tornado hit it from looking for a hoodie and shoes that matched LOL. I am going to say it snowed because I threatened the weatherman yesterday LOL. It's been snowing about 4 hours now and it is sticking...let hope it keeps snowing and keeps sticking. **crosses fingers**
