Inauguration Day.... however you spell it!

TODAY. January 20, 2009 America welcomes it's FIRST African American president... MR. Barack Hussien Obama! WOOO!!!!!!!!

I'm pretty flippin excited.

but let me tell you about the rest of my day.....

so i was getting ready to go to work this morning and i had on dress pants and a tshirt (so i didn't get makeup on a nice shirt).. and i had this HUGE sparkly flower clip (like.. actually has petals like a flower.. 3D, if you will) in my bangs to hold them back so i could put my mascara on.... WELL.. there's a knock at the door.. so i go answer it.. it's this really cute guy from the electric company telling me something about branches and powerlines.. anyways.. he had a smirk on his face and i didn't realize it until i went back to my mirror.... i had that freakin flower clip in my bangs and i looked SOOOO rediculous!!! i was ashamed. haha

then my day got better b/c i went to the post office to pick up my package from Hong Kong.... 500 Swarovski crystal beads!!!!! to let you in on how exciting this is...... Swarovski is to crystal beads as MAC is to computers, or as iPhone is to cell phones... Swarovski reigns supreme! they are so gorgeous... can't wait to create beautiful things! and i got them for about 2 cents per piece instead of the normal about 12 cents per piece. and i got 25 different colors! woo!! i love ebay.

except i did buy like, 3 things from this one person on ebay and i have not recieved them yet and i see it shows their account has been suspended or something... ?? luckily i didn't spend too much. but if i dont get my beads soon i'll have to see if ebay will give me my money back! anyways..

then my day got worse b/c on my way to work on memorial, i hit a dog. it and another dog were chasing geese and decided to run RIGHT infront of my car.. like, i just barely had time to slow down a litttttle bit. i hit him pretty hard but he didn't fall over, just stumbled and kept chasing the geese across the other 3 lanes of traffic.. the other dog made it safely across all 4 lanes. and i could see them on the otherside of the street in my rearview mirror just chasing those geese.. so i guess he was okay. he didn't look bloody and he seemed to run fine.. but i hope he didn't drop dead later, or get hit when crossing the street on the way back... it made me very VERY sad though.. i have never hit a dog or a cat before.. only opposums, a baby killdeer infront of it's mom and siblings (HORRIBLE!), and i think a snake.. and a big dead dear carcuss.. that sucked! haha. anyways, i worried about it all day.

then work was just slow and boring.. nothing exciting happened... no cute guys. yeah...

oh... and the other day i passed the cute boy hugging on his girlfriend... ICK.

okay that's all i have for now.

sad day...

SO....

cute boy #2 that got promoted to cute boy #1...? i found out today that he is married! i should do a better job at checking their hands before i like them... damn.

so cute boy #1 that got demoted to cute boy #2, has now defaulted back to cute boy #1.. although he doesn't really need a # since he's the only one now.. so.. cute boy. singular.

that's sad.

i totally just wrote this post and deleted it.. so now i get to re-write it...

OMG... technology never fails to amaze me.... i clicked one wrong button and ... gone! the whole freakin post...

OYE

anyways... so.. i started off by lamenting that everybody else has serious things to post about and i don't.. my posts are always random and vain.. and really have no importance or value... but i like to randomly type and today is one of those days.. when i just feel like typing.. b/c i'm bored..

so... okay one unseriously serious thing: today would have been my sister's 20th or 21st birthday.... her name was Tauser.. and although she was a different color and a different species, and spoke a different tongue.. and had no opposable thumbs.. she was still the best sister EVER and i miss her terribly... there will NEVER be another yellow labrador as smart and beautiful and companionable (is that a word?) as Tauser! she was the best.

so.. WORK- oh. my. effing. goodness. January in retail is like, please shoot me if i straighten that rack one more time. Seriously.. it's so slow.. we just walk around and straighten stuff all day.. ughhh... but anyways. they are saying we need to think about where we want to get moved to b/c they want most of us out of children's sometime in february so they can train more people.. why hire more people during the slowest time of year when you already have an abudance of employees and are facing a recession??? i don't know.. but children's is like.. the sacred training ground.. so we're getting booted out. and i only kind of have an idea where i want to work.. let's make a list....

*juniors.. not so much.. plus i think it is trainging also

*womens- NO! a.) manager is a witchy bitch and b.) the other women that work there are like venomous snakes all slithering around trying to get the same prey!

*cosmetics or fragrance- hello highschool! all over again, D-R-A-M-A.. and the girls put the HOR in horendous... i know.. whore.. but you get what i mean!

*jewelry... indifferent.. not so much though...

*accessories... no.. it's always cluttery and unkempt looking...

*men's... yeah! so long as it's not in the same department as that guy that always says hi to me.... eh.. no. but i like men's clothes! especially dress clothes.. and the manager is super nice and funny, i like her a lot!

*shoes... commission? no thanks! and the manager? oh my god.. NIGHTMARE!

*VISUAL... my first choice! walking around dressing mannequins and making displays.. sometimes like manual labor but much better than any selling position! i don't know if it has any special requirements though.. i'll have to ask..

so yeah... that's that... okay and one more thing with work.. there is now a cute boy #2! cute boy #1 is still cute but... a.) he smokes... b.) he apparently has a girlfriend... c.) he seems really up-tight and dorky.. d.) he doesn't really talk to me.. not that i talk to him but.. you know, he appears uninterested for the most part..... so .. cute boy #2... is cuter than cute boy #1, seems much cooler, and has talked to me more in like, only 2 occasions than cute boy #1 has ever talked to me in all the millions of times i've seen him. so, therefore, cute boy #2 has now been promoted to the status of cute boy #1 and cute boy #1 has been demoted to cute boy #2... confused much?? let me tell you about cute boy #3! haha.. j/k.

i smashed my thumb with a hammer the other day... it hurts ... but it's not swollen or bruised.. it sent shocks down to my elbow when i first hit it.. i hope it will be okay.. hopefully i didn't do anything to it...

i am re-doing my room... it is a much larger and more expensive project than i first estimated... my checkbook isn't happy. neither is my credit card and it declined today! i don't know why.. my balance shows that i still have 50 bucks until my limit.. if i check it tomorrow and someone has freakin stolen my identity i will straight up piss my pants.. no joke! i can't even pay for MY OWN expenditures.. much less some strangers.. and no, i don't have payment protection b/c they were charging me freakish amounts for that and i cancelled it.

anyways.. my room is gonna look beautiful when i'm all done! it's gonna be red, black, and white with a chinesey flair! heung chao! (i probably just cussed in chinese.. who knows!)

i've lost about 20 pounds since i've been working at Dillards.. just from the walking alone.. i haven't changed any eating habits really.. so once i start doing that i should drop the weight even faster.. which will be great.. i need to lose at least 80 to 90 pounds more... then i'll be super hott and maybe i'll actually have a boyfriend! hahaha... yeah... sad.

anyways.. i think that's all i have to talk about right now... hopefully i won't delete my post this time...

Kelsy told me i should update...

Everyone is doing blogs about 2008 ....

So this year was umm... yeah.. not the best. I got robbed, had to quit the job i really liked, had/still have paranoia and anxiety problems, had 2 aunts die, and went through like, 6 months of hell at a job i hated... reached the fattest point i've ever been.. .. also all this year i was... not in college. SUCK. so anyways.. now it's 2009. I have a safe job that doesn't suck TOO bad.. still have mental issues but that's okay... and i don't have any family members in jeopardy of dying but.. that doesn't always mean anything... ANYWAYS...

so for 2009 i plan on hopefully choosing something to major in... of course spring semesters are already starting so i'll have to look forward to going somewhere for the Fall Semester. or so i hope.. i did want to go to Ukraine but that's looking like it's NOT going to be a possibility at this time.. which SUCKS. 4th time that door has closed in my face. REALLY. anyways... yeah.

so i guess i have 3 new year resolutions... kinda.. 1.) find something to go back to school for... 2.) i seriously need to read my bible and pray.... it's like calling someone your best friend that you were friends with years ago but you have only been like, aquaintances for the last 3 years... acquaintances... ? i can't spell. anyways.. yeah. and then 3.) to lose like, 10 thousand pounds!! i've lost about 15 since working at Dillards.. b/c i have to walk allll day long pretty much. and then now i have started doing some excercises in the morning.. and then i am also going to try and start changing little things in my diet.... little things are best.. you can hold on to them easier!

so yeah.. that's basically my life at the moment...

i'm listening to David Cook right now... :)

"you teach me to rise up.. to open my eyes up... all these heroes come and go.. but you're still standing"... i don't think he meant for that to have any spiritual meaning but... i like it!

okay, thanks for reading...
